Winner wagon.

Definitely more in line with what I’m considering. I’ve told them they’ll appear alongside other products….

Idea being I do it less frequently and try to make it more interesting rather than producing lots of videos dedicated to single products (which are what doesn’t do well)

I get so many emails from random Chinese companies asking me to review their tat. I've done it a few times and nobody watches the videos, so it's actually pretty harmful to the channel, but they just keep on coming. Decided for 2024 I'm going to shake it up a bit - accept absolutely everything they send to me no matter how stupid or irrelevant it is, and make compilation videos unboxing/laughing at/demonstrating it This guy does a good job of it for tech stuff:

Oh wow I haven’t - I’ll check it out.

I think the air pump issue is that the rivets are leaking - the fix is to drill them out and replace with nuts/bolts/washers.

Nah it’s supposed to be silver with a red background - the silver has fallen off 😂

I’m gonna tidy it up a little before moving it on.

Also seems it’s Cat N - wonder if that’s linked to the flaking paint on the diffuser!

I really need to crack on with cleaning this up. Current job list: LCD display on the cluster has loads of missing lines. TADTS and there’s a few firms out there that can fix them. I contacted one and they made the right noises but wouldn’t give me an answer to “how do you want paying and where do I send it to” so I’m looking for another at the moment. Might just go with one on eBay. Starter motor keeps running after the engine starts, sticky solenoid I guess. Need to remove it to make sure I order the right replacement - might strip it down and clean it up before I order new. Secondary air pump is noisy. Could either replace it for about £30 or repair it with some bolts and washers, not sure which I’ll do yet. Aerial is broken. Seems they’re quite expensive 🤦‍♂️ TT badge is missing a T - thinking about just debadging it because they are NLA and £60 on eBay - thoughts? Back box is blowing - replacement required I guess. Rear diffuser needs painting. Don’t want to go too mad with it - it’s a cheap old base model TT after all!

The heater makes a difference however as long as you’re not driving around with it full blast all the time (which you wouldn’t, because it gets stupidly hot) then it’s not that big a deal. Lights/radio/wipers/fan are negligible.

The guess-o-meter shows predicted range based on a number of factors - outside temperature being one of them but driving style etc all playing a part. It’s common for new EV owners to obsess over it but the best thing you can do for your own sanity is just to drive the thing and plug it in when it needs charging. It’s much more accurate towards the lower end of % SoC than the top - a bit like a fuel gauge.

My local “tests only” place is fantastic. They charge £45 and give free retests within the 10 working day “partial test” window no matter what it fails on. Flipping it on the head to “no pass no fee” seems odd but 🤷‍♂️ whatever.

Is this the best £14 you can spend on an old car? (WARNING: CONTAINS CRIMES AGAINST DETAILING!)

There’s some paint under the filth! New plates make so much difference too

Had an offer on this from a good friend that’ll be hard to turn down 😂 but because she is a good friend I’ll obviously be spending the profit on repairs and maintenance before she has it.

Yusssss. What a winner.

👀 better be that Z4. Winter convertibles are for winners.

Used the most appropriate vehicle for the weather conditions on my commute this morning, obviously

Cheers! I’ve built a following of EV nutters on my main channel but definitely keen to do some shit car tinkering stuff on the other 👌

Yeah it’s quite interesting to see that a TT starts at £36,400 today - so much for cars getting more expensive, eh?

In 2003 the FWD coupe wasn’t available so the 150ps Roadster was the cheapest TT by quite some way!

Looks like leather/alcantara was a “no cost option” on the coupe, implies you *could* still have cloth if you really wanted to? Edit - maybe not, maybe that’s a “half leather” option instead of full leather??

In a world where I took this home last night for £590 you can imagine my surprise when BMW quoted me £430 for the first service on my 2021 i3 today WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK
