I was going to buy a Aygo two years ago but suddenly at the last moment changed my mind and bought a Suzuki Alto! i think the Car Gods were pointing me in the right direction! They were right! So reliable and a joy to drive for a basic car
Yugo My mum bought a brand new zastava in1981. She wanted p/x her old simca estate for it but the dealer gave her £50 off the list price as long as she dint part chopped the simca😮 So at 16 a snagged smooth white (and weekly rattle caned to stay that shade) simca estate became my pride and joy. 18 months later I went full send and bought a 1979 lada 1500 estate for £975 cash from a typewriter salesman in London.
Im 66 been driving since i was 17 and im being totally honest ive never had a bad Fiat,feel sorry for younger drivers will all the modern rubbish ,oh and the mobile microwaves they call EVS
Glad you're looking so much better. I always look forward to your videos and I am amazed at how much prep work you do. The way you say ," just put a new clutch in it and did the suspension and brakes" as though it was so simple to do. 👍
I've had 2011 Fiat for 4 years now, done 36k in it (126k total) and it's mostly had service and age related repairs done to it and only ever broke down once, a £7 engine earth strap.....so I've had to stop using that Fix It line as its been a damned got car. It's been that good that the blue 15 plate peaked my interest when I saw it, 4 years further down the line and the same spec car and mileage as mine was.
Maybe that Aygo was a winner if you can find a door in colour, as you say, rest of the car only needs a buff. Must work out cheaper and quicker to turn around (if one in colour available) than sending it away to the paint shop had you found a scuff or lacquer peel somewhere.
I hope the clutch repairs aren't still difficult, especially the spare parts fiasco. I've worn my clutch on my own Citroen C4 and it's a nuisance. I'm hoping it's going to be fixable, as I hear clutch replacements aren't cheap and especially on an 18 year old car that isn't worth much
Much cheaper to get a new door, did it on bmw 1 series two new/ used doors was cheaper than the excess on insurance, no brainer really , be nice to see how that one turns out 👍
My Step Sister had a C1 I believe and it was Solid drove her to and from her Nurses Course/Job, She only got rid of it as it was Written Off in a Hit and Run accident that sent her little C1 from outside the Flats she had parked to just outside the Park a distance of a few hundred meters. So even before Ik they were tye same as the Aygo I would have got one as hers never let her down and they seem the nicer designed
Range Rover Eboke! If my partner wanted to own one of them they would be straight out on the street lol Folk want the Toyota because the name carries reliability obviously and this applies to all buyers who are not interested in cars. Obviously all enthusiasts know the C1,107 and Aygo are the exact same underneath.
Just remembered a pal of mine had one of these with a 1.5 diesel in it, I think it was a C1. He said the economy was insanely good. Ever had one of those in, be interested to hear your thoughts on it!
They did offer a 1.4 diesel which was used in the Peugeots Citroens and fords, good little engine and yes cracking on fuel but did not sell in high numbers. People just bought the 1.0 as it was nearly as good on fuel and cheaper to buy.
Fix It Again Tomorrow: they have that reputation for a reason. But I get it, you're here to sell cars. 👍 Aygo & badge snobbery: a problem that a lot of 'informed' people miss is that those sold by Peu'jot & Shitröen will have been maintained at least initially by those marque's dealers, and they don't exactly have a stellar reputation for giving a siht either about their customers or their vehicles. And as for looks, I'd rather buy a car which I need to be reliable using my brain than my heart.
Popped by today for a look, nightmare with the roadworks, but I noticed the door still hasn't been changed. Any idea when it might be done and roughly what will you be asking for it 🤔
In auto trader it's showing that the mot is done , so it should be fine right ? I am planning to buy a 3 series petrol for 1500 pounds ! I know that its not reliable , but it should run for at least a year without major works right ?
Get the fob working first, we keep the cases in stock as most have fallen apart un sometimes the buttons fall off internally and need resoldering. New spare keys (new) with locks are on ebay, or if the lock is broken you can switch it with the passenger one (same cut as the ignition) and use that. Main thing is to get the RCL working on the fob again as using the keys in the barrels on c1 aygos constantly just wares them out to quick, they are just poor quality.
My mate got lucky with his Punto a 2009 model with 94k on the clock , paid only £300 for it as was a cat S write off and looks a state but it actually drives fine and no mechanical issues lol so was very lucky at that price as i paid £3 grand for my 2013 500 and it is a nightmare , lovely thing to stare at like artwork but as a car its not very good.
Lee, would you not try and gently persuade your good lady to come out of LR products, and either buy something like a Toyota RAV4 or indeed a land cruiser because at least then you will have sense and sensibility with no breakdowns...😁😁⭐. Apart from that keep up the good work 👍
With all your time in the motor trade why the hell do bother with Landrovers? Ok when they work they are great but thats only half the time, they are built on a Dacia budget.
Good to see you're a bit more chipper than a few weeks back,we need our fill of aygos,c1s,and 107s,with the odd masserati thrown in for good measure 👍🏻
Hope ur feeling better lee mate was shocked to say how ill u were :( Have the odd rest on me and keep up the hard work and videos coming when your up to it dont force yourself if ur not feeling quite right But love the videos bud hope ur feeling better :)
made me laugh when ya said people prefer the toyota badge over the c1 ,107, when it's the same car 😂😂😂😂 just shiws how vain/ stupid some people are, don't know how ya put up wiyh the general public, mostly bell ends 😂😂🎉
I was going to buy a Aygo two years ago but suddenly at the last moment changed my mind and bought a Suzuki Alto! i think the Car Gods were pointing me in the right direction! They were right! So reliable and a joy to drive for a basic car
Re: Argo - those Auction house should be forced to declare any/all issues for each car before sales day
Always look forward to your videos, informative, helpful and entertaining. 😎
Thanks Damian
Love them cars, my wife has the c1 and it’s been faultless apart from a water ingress in the boot of which has been sorted 😊
How did you fix the water ingress?
That face lift C1 knocks spots off the Aygo but as you say Lee the old badge snobbery always wins out.
What? A broken down Land Rover? That's unheard of!
😆😆
You're looking much better Lee and have some colour back. Keep it up kid and crack on !!!
I am glad you carried on with the Punto. Always look forward to your videos Lee. Have a great week ♥
Cheers lee hope you are feeling much better now!
Cracking podcast as usual Lee well done mate from Bristol
Aygo I can remember the yugo
Lovely yugo 45 😁

The other thing that gets me upset is the manual transmission will disappear.
Glad you're looking so much better. I always look forward to your videos and I am amazed at how much prep work you do. The way you say ," just put a new clutch in it and did the suspension and brakes" as though it was so simple to do. 👍
Hi Lee. Maybe the aygo owner wanted to make it more modern and decided to go ‘keyless’ ! Dave Birmingham
Maybe 😁👍

Yes, job for next week is to find that matching door, thanks for watching UM
Always great to be early!
Good to see you

I sold a C1 last month and put in the advert don't worry it's got a Toyota engine 😆
😁👍 Technically its made by Daihatsu but good idea none the less Chris 👍
@carukchannel I thought Daihatsu designed it and Toyota made it. Toyota is stamped on the engine. Daihatsu is a Toyota subsidiary anyway.
Saw your Jag at Press again today!

Hi lee,sounds sensible to swap the door in colour.
Glad your on the up again health and sales wise
Never miss a video Lee
Really enjoy watching them
Keep em coming 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks 👍
If u have a Aygo and carry kids they are sat in the crumble zone ,I would not like to drive one on the motorway 😮
Didn't know the UK had a Minimum Size Requirement for Cars on Motorways.
Glad things are picking up again. Can't keep a good man down eh. And ur looking much better Lee.
Hopefully you can find a new door or something cheap for the little Aygo!
Range Rover Eboke! If my partner wanted to own one of them they would be straight out on the street lol
Folk want the Toyota because the name carries reliability obviously and this applies to all buyers who are not interested in cars. Obviously all enthusiasts know the C1,107 and Aygo are the exact same underneath.
good to hear you're selling again
Lee question for ya do you rate the mk2 aygo c1 108s or not? They’re coming into your selling price point now so would be interested to know cheers
Just remembered a pal of mine had one of these with a 1.5 diesel in it, I think it was a C1. He said the economy was insanely good. Ever had one of those in, be interested to hear your thoughts on it!

@@carukchannel makes sense!
Watching from Denmark
I can't remember which topdon diagnostic machine you use. I want one that does most models
Hi Lee I have a nice 12 plate aygo white 60k miles due in this week any use?
You need to keep one ramp just for JLR stuff 🤣
🤣👍
On the subject of land rovers what do you think to the Freelander 2?
At least it came in that "Henry Ford".... Colour....
Fix It Again Tomorrow: they have that reputation for a reason. But I get it, you're here to sell cars. 👍
Aygo & badge snobbery: a problem that a lot of 'informed' people miss is that those sold by Peu'jot & Shitröen will have been maintained at least initially by those marque's dealers, and they don't exactly have a stellar reputation for giving a siht either about their customers or their vehicles.

Never a dull moment 😂
Popped by today for a look, nightmare with the roadworks, but I noticed the door still hasn't been changed.

if your referring to the Aygo It’s going to paint on Monday
In auto trader it's showing that the mot is done , so it should be fine right ?
I am planning to buy a 3 series petrol for 1500 pounds ! I know that its not reliable , but it should run for at least a year without major works right ?
Just brought a Peugeot 107 and key does not open the driver side door. Hoping it’s just a case of wd40 in the lock and new battery for the fob.
Get the fob working first, we keep the cases in stock as most have fallen apart un sometimes the buttons fall off internally and need resoldering. New spare keys (new) with locks are on ebay, or if the lock is broken you can switch it with the passenger one (same cut as the ignition) and use that.

Is it the camera or is there a short on the extension reel?
What auction was the aygo from Mate ?
I only bought one car via eBay, that was also a disaster. Numerous problems took ages to fix.
Always enjoy your videos. Thanks for filming.
The TH-cam Gremlins got me. Verso great car, Evoque worst car. Mrs decides.
In all the years these were produced you think they may have fixed the water leak issues!
I can't believe you as a car trader let your wife get a Landover 😮,
🤣👍
I would sooner have a broken down landrover than a aygo to be fair lol.
With all your time in the motor trade why the hell do bother with Landrovers? Ok when they work they are great but thats only half the time, they are built on a Dacia budget.
The only Japanese vehicles to buy are those made in Japan..
Good to see you're a bit more chipper than a few weeks back,we need our fill of aygos,c1s,and 107s,with the odd masserati thrown in for good measure 👍🏻
Thanks tom will deliver on that this week for you 😁👍
Brother in laws range rover £1400 to service ffs thats crazy
So, wehn you're smart... buy the C1. The only Citroën that will keep on driving.
Glad your better but good luck selling the Ghibli... 😉👍
Good video
Thanks
Every now and again a gonad is mishandled, (it's called life)
When you putting on your own car that's for sale
This week should be Thursday or Friday that video lands
Hope ur feeling better lee mate was shocked to say how ill u were :(
Have the odd rest on me and keep up the hard work and videos coming when your up to it dont force yourself if ur not feeling quite right But love the videos bud hope ur feeling better :)
Who on earth did that to the poor Toyota 😂
made me laugh when ya said people prefer the toyota badge over the c1 ,107, when it's the same car 😂😂😂😂 just shiws how vain/ stupid some people are, don't know how ya put up wiyh the general public, mostly bell ends 😂😂🎉
How would one know though? 🤷♀️🤔
