If anyone is wondering how he got 18% profit, he did it my using a very very simple formula which anyone in sales knows. Sell price - cost price ÷ by sell price. This is NOT the same as cost price x 18%.

Saved from a miserable Monday night - well done. I love your videos Matt. Honest, true and you won't say 'that'll do' and let something break in a month or so. Well Done...You do always overspend but in the right places. Question - rear hatchback struts on a 2005 Toyota Avensis? You wouldn't believe they were £200 EACH. Toyota part only and even the Toyota lady said she wouldn't bother. When the wife smacked her head when it failed £400 was a small price to pay for my peace :)

@jonford6119 8 ай бұрын

You can get aftermarket ones for under £20 a pair. Admittedly they don't last quite as long as the originals, but they work and only take a few minutes to fit. I have fitted a couple of sets to my 2004 Avensis estate - after also being smacked on the head by the tailgate! The originals failed while I was on holiday in the Channel Isles - had to prop the boot open using an umbrella. Ordered replacements, they were delivered by the time I got home, fitted them the day I got back. I think the first replacement set lasted about five years, the second set are still doing fine.

@mobilrz 8 ай бұрын

They are solid cars. Xenon headlights changes the front end completely and better than LED. Personally I’d avoid black, as it shows every mark. A4 Allroad has more presence with aluminium roof rails and plastic wheel arches. Only weak points, rear suspension spring seats, and front coil springs. Turbos can go prematurely too.
