Try doing that at 4.30 am. :)

It's 01:00 AM and i've just started....

Bacal its 1:16 am atm

Why polish a turd?

@@paulisenior At least the hubcaps are not worth the cleaning supplies.

Torque Steer Gained a subscriber good job on the headlights. If you've ever used merlins blood the smell of it is atrocious.

Torque Steer what dishwasher soap did you use

Sure did ;)

Alright chrisfix

HHAA

Chrisfix😂 like it

Oh yeah yeah

Mike Parry or that you can technically call the car a write off when it needs a wash. My dad used to have an old ford Orion which was worth £50 scrap so when it ran out of fuel, filling the tank was technically a write off. Lol.

@Mike X Cars are pretty good value in the UK

@@MrRohanThomas Yeah and after Brexit they'll become as precious and valuable as cars in Cuba, being used and maintained for over 50 years.

Thats a good business bro

@Mike X Houses in Thailand are not good quality though, No hot water improper glazing and locking doors no insulation and well government what we have now is a dictatorship who cares more about waving his hands around and making himself and his generals rich. If I had a choice I chose UK

Btw buddy, you just have to what you use to cam or give the name of some products cuz sometimes we donno what you talking about :)

Torque Steer hello mate if your ever doing a tutorial on your channel, and you need parts let me know I will ship them to you.

Who does the other Astra further up the drive belong to?

Tristan Throup Not really, there is a lot of them with such mileages in Eastern Europe.

My 2002 1.8 has 405k kilometers on it.

All that's really fascinating. Now I have some assurance that if any model Astra is looked after mechanically, they should get up to 400,000 kilometre territory. I had a mini meeting with a service department at a local Holden dealership (bearing in mind the company has rebadged Astras for sale) and they said any of the models could get up to half a million kilometres. Mine's a 2006 1.8 litre model hatchback.

There is no reason why they shouldn't be able to do 500k km+. My father had a Vectra with 800k km, he scrapped it only because high pressure pump failed and repair would cost more than the car, engine was still running fine and didn't consume much oil.

This HAS to be an automatic. The DMF on the manuals gives up long before 130,000 miles.

Thank you :)

I watch the guru too. I think he is fairly local to me.

Torque Steer Yeah I heard him mention in a previous video. This was really good though, there's a few copycats out there but it's nice you're putting your own spin on things 👍

I can tell your aussie

Sander Van marle Did he turn it into a video game?

I like your Packie accent mate. Are you from Wolverhampton?

Thanks Paul. I’ll look into it. I’ve always wanted to try Carpro Perl. It looks a very versatile product.

Don’t worry I will ;) I had to get it uploaded before in went to bed. I’ll put all the links up for you tonight.

Product links are updated in the description.

Thanks, looking to do my headlights so thanks for the guide also!

No worries. I'm actually probably going to upload another video restoring the headlights in more depth. The Autoglym Paint Renovator looks a little bit expensive (it was something I had from years ago), so you could substitute it with a finer grit (5000) sandpaper or a magic eraser. I've also found that T-Cut seems to work okay too.

I love ur Rabbit !!!! 😊😊😊😀😀😀😀😁😁😁😁😁😁😁 Ps : I am a massive Rabbit lover !!

@@Arounadabout Well thanks ! He was very cute indeed :)

Thanks for the tip. I’ll give it a try and see how it works. Meguiars endurance tyre gel works good on trim too.

Luc Peeters hub caps or wheel trim.

Thx, good to know.

What filler would you use on the trims? Thanks

I just use some filer I bought at a shop here called Action, mostly Chinese cheap stuff. As a matter of fact I had to redo all trims again 3 weeks ago. Some of the sidewalks here have some really nasty curbs. 1 was very badly damaged with a piece missing. I actually had to sculpt like an inch by an inch that was just thorn off. The way I did this was to firstly clean the trim really good, also on the inside around where the part was missing. (isopropanol to take the grease and dirt off). I then used plaster joined tape (fiber mesh) on top of duct tape that I stuck on the back. The fiber mesh will strengthen the plaster and using the duct tape you can sculpture without the stuff falling through. Then I let it settle for an hour and start using sandpaper and a file for the recreated part. For the paint to grip I used a 800 sandpaper and then primer and 3 coats of that gunmetal spray. It's not 100% but 95%. This time it took me a couple of hours in total but it is satisfying to see the result and it is not hard work at all.

Luc Peeters Great thanks for that Luc will take a look for something similar to that over here!

It’s a shame because their products are good.

Man I'm the same I clay bared my car using there products and the spray lube trigger was a nightmare

First thing i do when i buy more spray is to put it into a different bottle haha I thought i was the only one to lol

Chrisfix

Yes thank you! It’s not just me then.

Buy new ones for less than the cost to spray old beat up shit.

Take them off to clean them, it will save your back

@@nigelpocock9538 Would have replaced them with a matching set of 4.

Thanks for the kind words, they really did make this model properly. The car just goes on and on with no major faults. I've got a 2003 Astra with the 1.7 diesel as a 'back up' car for whenever my Audi is off the road or I need to lug stuff around. Can't bring myself to part with my one.

Vauxhall’s weakness have always been their gearboxes

isuzu 1.7 turbo diesel engine are bullet proof had 2 cars with that engine in my vauxhall cavalier 1.7 TD and that ended its life with 350k on the clock after the body work rusted out so badly, and then had the same engine in my Vauxhall astra van which has 290k on the clock and is still going strong on a 2010 plate good video and hoping to do my van over easter 2018 longs we get rid of this snow

Great solution temporarily, but dries out the plastics so will end up worse in the long run once faded again

it's a 1 time use really. It brings up oils in the plastic which replaces the ones lost over time because of weathering. Once the trim becomes dull again the heat gun will struggle to bring any more oils up as it was done before. Only solution after this is some trim restorer like autoglym which does a great job but probably doesn't last as long as the heat gun. TBH id do the heat gun then use the trim restorer to just make it last longer.

Color coded trims dont fade, thats the solution to the problem. My astra h sxi looks great despite being 12 years old

Yup

Same here 🤣

TheDutchGuy110

Only came to comments to find out if anyone said this. 😂

No money/laziness

Put them in his mums dishwasher :)

If you find 24 grit is taking an excessive amount of time you can substitute for 1 grit. If 1 grit cannot be found at local auto stores you may substitute with a rock - Old hot rodder trick.

Thanks:) the heat gun method seems to vary with success depending on the car.

They certainly are. Keep an eye out because I'm going to be doing a review on my 2003 Astra soon and why it was the best £200 that I ever spent ;) It's in a bit better condition than this one haha.

Here in Australia I have a TS 2000 Astra with full kit. They are the best small car of that decade. 225000 KMS on mine, Does not use oil, 44-48 MPG, Eibach springs and Pedder shocks, Continental UC6 Tyres make this like a sports car. And they LOOK good. Seriously the best Astra model. Maybe the new one is better.

My Vauxhall Astra sxi mk4 1.8 head gasket went and it only did 125.566 miles on the clock but it has been raged about all its life so it did well as I had there 3 door one with some nice bbs rims on it and it was lowed on coil over's

New one looks too much like some Alfa Romeo, or a tad like a Golf. Old Astras looked nothing like that, they were 100% unique. Still drive a 2002 one, with 183.000km. And i won't get a new one, until he's done. Update: 190.000km, still going strong

Stu Preston But not chav proof.

Right I said the same thing but remember Lucifer was an angel before he was Satan

Neil Buchanan haha?

Torque Steer that's the one haha

I think he is quite close by. I might have to find him ;)

No joke! Relaxing as fuck. Great content!

Part two should be filmed and uploaded next week :)

Dezz9820 , I'm thinking of buying the 2009 Vauxhall Insignia 2.0CDTi Elite but I'm told it's not that reliable. In fact of number people have told me not to buy Vauxhall as they had so many problems with it in the past?

relentless5321 I don't know much about insignias but astras are built really well and are very reliable cars

Dezz9820 are they fuck. Mine was a heap hahaha

Insignia is a 50/50, some say its very reliable and some say it has issues but you should read reviews on Parkers

Dezz9820 Vauxhall’s are pretty reliable

you can do the same with a Dasch spray cleaner... more cheap, durable and without risking the paint with the 500 *C pistol.

Sounds like he's from the Wirral not Liverpool

Part 2 ;)

bad tip. they will fade again. and the more u do that thing, the more faster they fade away. just apply somekinda grease. Its better to add, then take away..

Ricardo Zanella no Opel Germany car

Comentei isso lá em cima. Kkkk

Brazil is crazy. It's original german Opel Astra. German car!!

Alfredo J he's praising satan😱😱

Alfredo J I was enjoying this video until that

Foreal right after that I unsubbed and blocked him...

I hate people who do that, I mean, I know it's religion and all, I'm religious too, but if someone says something like that you don't block them and harass them (as SOME people might've done), you tell them to kindly not do that again. I mean its not like "OH NO IM GOING TO DIE BECAUSE OF THOSE WORDS AHHH."

Yeah, what’s the big deal? It’s not like he’s going to sacrifice a baby animal after this...

Thank you 😊

Thanks for the support. It’s really appreciated. I was hoping they would be useful rather than annoying 👍🏻

Scrappy? We haven’t hit 300,000 yet :D then I would want to get it to 400k.
