That'd me

Thank you for sharing. I wish we have a specialist like you here in Los Angeles California.

🤦🏻‍♂️ Jeeeeeeeez

"Flexing like an F1 wing would do". I see what you did there... I fully agree that shims are a problem in this application if they're simply flat and only used at one location. In theory, a series of shims in all the holes that are graded to mimic a flat plane after fitment would be fine, but tedious to place.

Yea most people who watch TH-cam will be buying a McLaren at some point. 😂

Also, the fact that the attachment bolts milled recess' are left with effectively sharp edges where the bolt head lands so always a potential stress area. They seem to crack there even when fitted with no shims fitted. Basic engineering error.

Would a shim with a larger surface area be an acceptable compromise? It would support the casting over a larger area, which could move the fulcrum so there is less leverage effect, and it would keep the fix down in terms of time.

Just watched Harry’s Garage and was struck by the fact his 40 year old Countach hasn’t had an issue with its door hinges once 🧐….

Does it affect soft close doors?

I’ve now had three…allegedly 🤔. Had passenger door replaced 18 months ago, along with some “rust” paintwork. I noticed this April I had ‘rust” again on same panels and took it back to dealer. It’s an MY2018 570 Spyder and just past 14,000 miles. They fixed the paint and also said I needed both hinges. I was very annoyed as the passenger door is probably used 1 in 50 times I drive the car; so very infrequently. I am a Nazi when it comes to ensuring the doors aren’t slammed down too. I literally threw my toys out the pram and McLaren paid 75% of cost… which to me is still taking the piss as this is clearly DESIGN FAULT. Note; I worked in a foundry as a student making boilers…. They operated at 100’c for 25 years technically submerged in water without failure 🤷🏻‍♂️

I had the hinges on my 600LT replaced last year with the GT hinges - is this the new design you are referencing, or this there a different part?

Thank god this channel saved me from buying one

shit metal

As useful as ever. McLaren warranty is turning into a lottery. Another thing to look out for when buying a pre-owned car.

Thanks for the update, I would not be happy if they are double cost from McLaren and not resolving the issue. Are there any cases of replacements also failing or is it too early to say?

as always real gems of information .... so odd though you really wonder what they are thinking at woking

Hopefully putting up the price they are a stronger unit!

McLaren dealer replaced the hinges of my 600LT with GT parts

Hi are the hinges the same on the GT?

❤ brilliant well said ❤,

I want one but I've never driven anything like it , I'd want some expert tuition before I'd trust myself tbh

So a number of the cars that are presented to you are faulty - I think this is to be expected if you deal in McLarens!!

What would the price be on a good condition/properly serviced 650S Le Mans coupe? That's the particular model I'd really like. Great video btw.

what i meant by RS1 and RS2 ? between the 12c and 650 the engine code ? im new to mclaren but fully intereted to learn everything about this cars

iam going out for a drive on my McLaren now to see if I have any of these problems , to be fair I love it , I find the costs are similar to my boat on those you spend 10% a year of the value , if its lest you had a good year

Mr. Thorne, it is a pleasure to see your videos. I recently decided on the decision to get a supercar. 720s is a consideration. From your videos it seems that the 720s is a relatively safe buy considering you get it fully inspected. Some items you mentioned were: door alignments, oil pump leaks, suspension leaks and electrical sensor issues. Once all of these are taken care of, do you feel this is a relatively safe buy?

I am looking at purchasing a Mclaren soon and you are my first choice because of this exact video. If you care about a vehicle and more importantly safety, cost is a byproduct. These sorts of cars do have a higher maintenance cost than say a Ford Focus and you need to budget accordingly.

Very nice

720s seem great value now, if you’re got the 💰

These cars have stabilised for some time,PERHAPS it’s because the 750S is NOT MASS produced, only built to order, anyway worth every Penny…

Must be nice to have so much money that you can lose £100 per mile! Great news for the buyer.

Think BIG, guys!

Looks like some bubbling at 6:10 to 6:13

100% Integrity 👍👍

It’s quite errr Orange ! If your going to buy one definitely have Thorney warranty it, good folk

YOU HAVE A WEBSITE I CAN SEE WHICH CARS YOU HAVE FOR SALE ?

The steering wheel is on the wrong side

Beautiful cars! I was in the market for a McLaren until I realised that I wouldn’t be able to open the doors in my garage. I will wait to move in the next couple of years before I buy one now. I did buy a Honda Civic Type-R yesterday though so that will tide me over.

Great video ... and as Holmes would say, "elementary my dear Watson". A special message I guess for especially (but not limited to) all the 600LT owners who during the hours of darkness get a crained neck looking in the rear view mirror whilst blip flooring the throttle to impress the girlfriend, whilst they "cook their cats" because they like to see the fireworks coming out of the tailpipes ... you couldn't make it up. :)

What does the GT score ?

Thank you for this great video! What do you consider over revving? Have McLaren set the rev limiter to high so it is worthwhile turning it back a couple of 100 revs? (When going sideways it is quite nice to have a revlimiter to lean on)

Great video. Were there 50 total of both coupe and spider or 50 of each? I've read 50 of each but that may not be accurate. I also have a 50th spider myself

Hi John, I keep hovering over your website as I am seriously tempted by either a 570S or a 650S (ideally a spider so I can appreciate the amazing all year round UK weather 😂😂). There are obviously pros and cons to both, but would you say overall the 650s is the better buy? (I appreciate it is subjective).

"Marginally less shit" 😂 - that is the sort of consumer advice we need and why you are respected Sir.

I'd love a 12c but after hearing there could be a £23k new gearbox needed puts me off 😮

how long (in time) should we expect the accumulator on a 12C to last? I had mine replaced about 6 years ago, and now the suspension feels "clunky" again.

Thanks for being so candid

It’s a shame McLarens are such problematic and unserviceable money pits because they are awesome vehicles.

hi will i be able to send you the rear diff for new plates and rebuild from melbourne Australia we have a zb v6 awd and needs rebuild
