Yep focus st

Nope

Nice Calvin :) folk gotta wake up & watch out ..

I thought i had a dodgy e46 touring at one point as someone had changed the odometer etc into KM and it spent several years like that, but the MOters didn't pay attention to the speedo and assumed miles when it actually displayed KM 😖

Really common one mk4 transits Best one i seen was a mk4 with 400k in 2016 rewound back to 55k

Thanks mate 🙏🏼👌

mean to egg this guy on just so you get more cringe videos from him

@@tungoyum1884 don’t watch if u think he’s cringe.

Link?

You reckon he’ll have any gold ones?? Is there a website

@@EnriqueLira did u manage to get the link

@@yunneqfeeds4152 No.

What a mate you are! Link his products

I’ve just bought a CAT S bmw 1 series 118d sport. It’s got genuine 39000 miles on, it’s been well looked after, I had it fully assessed and it just had an MOT before I bought it. It’s like a brand new car and it’s one of the best I’ve ever had

Won't really matter if its had a good blocker on it

@@TommyT_ blockers are only linked to instrument cluster not onto ecu

@@danielwhiteley5941 not correct

Everything in the ecu can be wiped can even be done with forscan if you know how to do it. The only place to get it is from the ABS as long as it hasn't been replaced

Clamp marks mean nothing , having worked in the accident repair trade for over 30 years I’ve repaired thousands of cars , a recorded vehicle means it’s been written off either due to financial reasons or severe structural/other damage (such as flood /fire amongst others) a normal accident does not instantly get recorded on the database I have repaired identical cars , same spec/age with near identical damage but with different mileage which values them different , one was not written off but the other was not , to be recorded all comes down to cost and value , cars are designed to bend to protect the occupants a 5mph knock can move the front end of a car over 20 mm and that’s why they have clamp marks , to re align and measure them

@@danielwhiteley5941 but it should be recorded if a car has had to be straightened in a jig, regardless of how well the work has been done the structure of the car is weaker than when it left the factory, something of which you should have the right to know about before buying, especially if you plan to travel with children. Instead its covered up so they can resell the car at a higher value because they know no one will pay full price for a car that has been damaged and bent in the past, and many families would reject them for cars that have never been in an accident. Just a scummy thing to do, its no wonder most mechanics are not trusted.

@@shroomiestshroom3655 it only weapons structural integrity if it bends so far and in certain ways , cars are designed to do this . They even get tweaked at the factory in some cases during production if something has gone out of tolerance, just because it has been pulled on a jig it doesn’t mean the structure of the car is weaker , as a modern body repair technician we have to learn about structural compounds of the metals which are used in building vehicles and how they bend /break /molecular structure changes under stress heat and impact , it’s the same with the “cut n shut” mentality of people , you can actually do that safely if done with the correct techniques and methods because all a repair is just that , cutting a panel off and replacing /welding in a new panel ! But done correctly and to manufacturer specifications it’s perfectly correct and safe and as I said a vehicle is only recorded on the register if classed as a “write off” and that basically depends on age mileage and costs of repairs and in worst case the severity of the damage as it couldn’t be structurally safe anymore , I’ve owed plenty of write offs and had them on the road with all my children in because I knew how they were repaired , and as for mechanics not being trusted I wouldn’t know about that as it’s body repair technicians which repair accident related damage not grease monkeys

@@danielwhiteley5941 You have completely missed my point. I was merely stating people should not rely solely on vehicle history checks because ( for many reasons of I'm not going to go in to) some accidents go unrecorded, doing ones own visual checks is important, if (as in my case) signs of a previous repair/s are found this would warrant further investigation. 'In my case' the vehicle had been poorly repaired and was unsafe. The clamp marks were the first indication I needed investigate further. You - 'Clamp marks mean nothing' Also you - 'a 5mph knock can move the front end of a car over 20 mm and that’s why they have clamp marks , to re align and measure them'. You need to make up your mind.

@@leebenstead7171 You’re right, irrespective of what work was done the prospective buyer should be aware of what’s gone on with the vehicle they’re looking to buy. It’s a simple as that. If you don’t agree you endorse scummy business practices. We aren’t talking a 2nd hand jacket here, we’re talking a purchase which costs thousands, and has big safety implications.

Love the omni yellow Kevin!

@@shaneunknowndoesyoutube3869 ah cheers Shane!☺️ Yeah it stands out, sometimes wish it was a more subtle silver or black, but suppose it suits the Cupra's 😁

@@kevinmatthews4277 It really does suit it!

You're cars beautiful bro

@@user-ot7jd9dt7t cheers mate 👍🏻

I wonder if the seller was contacted to give more money?

100% seen this happen loads

Yeah but wouldn’t the car still say how many miles it’s actually done. Cause if it’s just an administration issue then the car should show (guesstimate) 60k But I’ve just seen the end anyway Edit: after watching the end again, I completely understand what you mean

Bought. They Bought new plates.not brought....

Still very dodgy. Car is registered as the wrong colour although the DVLA do screw up often somehow

@@daltonsikhosana8275 not if it's had a correction to reflect the change. someone has been dishonest in this vehicle's history, and may have done a plate swap to aid and abet that.

Where can I find this information? I have a 2015 st that's not been recalled

+1 for Vcheck, used it for the last 3 cars I bought, cheaper than HPI too I think

they are none to brake

I thought it was a 20 to 70 time like usual?

@@dgg7377 yeah it's 20-70 not 0-60, also usually done from rolling but here he launched it

Yeah like he said in the video

Not in a ford cos if you flashing then it resets it and also resets the global real time. ABS and PSCM are the only place that will hold true mileage and even that can't be seen with even the best of scanners it requires factory level equipment, although if you create a fault by say discounting a speed sensor then the freeze frame data attached to the fault will show mileage at time of fault

I went to a garage in Preston to buy a Volvo S60, had 80k on the clock I called Volvo customer service in the fellas office as all the service stamps were by the same independent, last time Volvo seen it was two years before I was standing in front of it and it had over 120k on it then ha ha, fellas face was a picture.

@@talkfree4871 Good cars the S60s. Dad has a 2005 one with the 2 litre 5 cylinder turbo petrol engine.

Good. Wouldn’t buy a golf with any mileage tbh

Video

What do you mean ‘haircut’?

@@scoobz007 knock miles off the clock

Yeah if I saw that on a test I’d be going straight back and filing a complaint and getting it corrected with DVLA

Who says stage 3 has to include a hybrid turbo? This stage 1-2-4-5-6678898 is not a standardized system, it can be whatever the garage does.

@@bence.gabor.slezak Correct stages are complete nonsense but on these particular cars "stage 3" is considered hybrid turbo along with supporting mods - bigger intercooler, turbo back exhaust system, air intake and mapping.

hi u can always tell what stage this car is roughly have a look at the intercooler the size of it if this is stage 3 car then u would have a stage 3 intercooler on it and to be fair this seem low for the x47r turbo when they should be around 320/330hp on this turbo is a shame about the mileage it’s got that for the age look in very good nick im selling mine st200 and this is running just under 400hp and I can say I have the prov to back this up and all paper it’s done to it so yes make sure u have all paper work to back it up

How long have you had stage 3? Has it been reliable?
