Not gonna lie, knackered gear linkage aside, that Skoda was a mental bargain at that mileage and trim for £150. Would be interested to know exactly what the gearbox issue was and how much it cost to fix.
something a little different, i enjoyed that. I like how youre breaking down costs properly, even if you dont pay yourself to clean it, the products still cost money and the insurance. makes a change from alot of car youtubers who dont add these figures. Also the thumnail is what caught my attention while scrolling.... subscribed from now.
Dave this was a funny video! It was a great video to show detailers the difference the right chemicals, waxes and tools can make on any car. 150 Quid is a "STEAL" of a deal and poor Matt. The machine polishing looked fantastic and one sure way to get rid of the smell from the foul rain water is to fix the sunroof leak and use an ozone generator or ClO2 chlorine dioxide odor remover. You need to read and follow the directions for the best results but this will get rid of any smell and sanitize the car. Have a great day and thank you again for a superb video. You could actually make a video on the ClO2 odor remover and it could be funny and very helpful to detailers who can't afford an ozone generator or need to remove some nasty foul smelling odors.
Thank you we had such a laugh making this one. Picking up the car was hilarious. I cleaned it back in September then It got dumped behind the stables on the farm so it sat there and basically so much moisture built up it became quite mouldy again lol
Thank you mate. Really liked the products. Reminds me I need to drop links in the description. I can finally release the video on epic detailing channel
Had this problem on my 1972 Capri when stored over the winter. Its an easy fix. Push it out onto a clear road or track. Place it in gear with engine off. Start it up with revs and it will launch itself forward but that should free the stuck clutch. Its nothing serious and needs no new parts etc.
Well done to you dave, it’s a bargain and if it costs a couple of hundred to fix the gear linkage and put a fresh mot on it your still quids in! Second hand cars have gone through the roof and someone will buy it. But would recommend once it’s been repaired use a smoke machine inside with a deodoriser that should get rid of the horrid smell👍.
Its only a stuck clutch plate and can be fixed by starting in gear on a clear road. A few revs and pumping of the pedal with free it. If my 72 Capri can be fixed by doing that this skoda can easily. Hope that helps.
Nice Job, very entertaining :) Keep up the good work. I just wonder what your doing with all these cars? Is it like Mikes hot car lot out the back of your house? lol
@@epiccarshow fantastic, I do have a soft spot for an Octavia. My mechanic gives me his as a courtesy car with 280k on the clock and goes like the clappers
Another good and entertaining video David. Leo 's back I see. What does he charge, is it a one of payment or hourly rate?😂🤣 Good to see Harvey make a small debut. Dad👍🍺
Master cylinder or slave cylinder for ur gearbox issue try chanuing the brake fluid 1st if its been sat ages it could have moisture in the brake and clutch fluid
that skoda seems to be the natural enemy of autoalex high milage octavia. 25k miles, the very nice 1.8T, octavia in red vs. a 460k miles diesel in a blue one :D
Check if it goes into 2nd and if you can slip the clutch and move off. If you can’t engage first at all I’d say slave cylinder is shot or if you can engage 1st 2nd but doesn’t move etc your driveshaft is gone
Chaps, I have given you a thumbs up because your content and production is good, but you are trying to get in to a part of the YT market that is already covered. It feels like you are copying them. You need to get a USP, stand out for your own original material, not as a copy. This is intended as positive criticism, so please dont hate me too much. You have the ability to be brilliant but you need to find your own USP. Best of luck and I wish you well
Thank you for your comment. Did we copy an idea that has already been around? Yes 100% the cheap car challenges are fun so we just thought what the heck nothing to lose, we didn't expect any views so we just press record and go so kinda shocked at these views as it is. We're filming an f type tomorrow for different content so the aim is to bring a mixed bag of content. We definitely don't want to copy but we will take an idea and make it better if we can 🙏🙏
As I said, my comment is intended as constructive criticism so that you can improve. You definitely have the potential and I look forward to seeing the F type. Try to find some thing unique that makes your show different to the others. Best of luck 👍🏼
The other big channels have copied Top Gear cheap car challenges so their content is hardly original. Make the content which gets the views, if people want something different, maybe they've got the money to stump up or creativity to offer some suggestions
It was left outside in freezing zero conditions. It had leaks, condensation happened and it sat outside for a couple of weeks so it became stagnant again
Matt laughing at the Skoda, when he’s driving the panda into shot. Lol. You guys make me laugh 😂😂
He just laughs 24/7 that guy 😂
I did think that. Laughing at a L&K Octavia with 25k on it, driving a panda. There's a first time for everything 🤷♂️
Not gonna lie, knackered gear linkage aside, that Skoda was a mental bargain at that mileage and trim for £150. Would be interested to know exactly what the gearbox issue was and how much it cost to fix.
It had a few other problems. It genuinely has 25k on the clock.

Thank you so much. We have made a few videos like this. Still lots to learn but hopeful 😃
Honestly I got so excited over this car! A 1.8T on 25K! If you wanna get rid of it let me know 😂
There is a line of about 2000 people ahead who asked for it 😅
I'd say it was worth more than 2k all sorted tbh. Probably closer to 4

It's a great format. I wish there were more videos like this
Loads more coming
Great video guys! Nice to see our products helping get that car looking so good 👍 ❤ what a steal at the money you paid!!
Thank you mate. Really liked the products. Reminds me I need to drop links in the description. I can finally release the video on epic detailing channel
Cats doing whatever they want, as usual 😂😂
I have no idea how I found you blokes, but am I glad I did, so much better than current CT and and........keep it up! Greets from the Finn in Germany!
Thanks so much 😀. Quick question how did we appear on your TH-cam? Was it home screen or through another video
@@epiccarshow It was recommended over the home screen.
Really nice car and for that money you cant go wrong
Its mega. Working again now
@@epiccarshow is the exterior trim treatment a bit disappointing it seems to be a bit grey? Or was it applied months ago. Cheers
it was a gap of about 3 months mate@@da-mazing8500

Amazingly we fixed it and gave it a new MOT which it passed 🚗

The guy who's buying it will get another clean up. It filmed months ago then it sat around and got wrecked so may use it in few other videos
Its only a stuck clutch plate and can be fixed by starting in gear on a clear road. A few revs and pumping of the pedal with free it. If my 72 Capri can be fixed by doing that this skoda can easily. Hope that helps.
Just subscribed as soon as I seen the Skoda! the channel I never knew I needed!
Thank you Alex 🙏
@@epiccarshow no problem! can’t wait to see more! Get some tdi pd engine in channel and your views and subscribers will blow up
The funnest part is the person turning up in a fiat is laughing at a skoda when the fiat is 1.2 litre at best hahahaha
It's a very sporty 1.4 non turbo 😅
Dave, that was the worst 'luxury' car 🤦♀️
Heated seats Matt, that's the very definition of luxury 🤣
Yeah Leo is a star again!❤
The cats always have to make an appearance lol
Nice Job, very entertaining :) Keep up the good work. I just wonder what your doing with all these cars? Is it like Mikes hot car lot out the back of your house? lol
We live on a farm so we have endless space. I got 4 cars at moment and need to shift some as it's expensive
@@epiccarshow Whats next? Demolition derby?
that would be a bangin octavia if it was running, 10 years younger than my octavia and with 100k less on the clock!!!
Yeah we got it going all good in the end. It was sold to a neighbour so we used the money to buy a few old cars and equipment for the channel 😀
@@epiccarshow fantastic, I do have a soft spot for an Octavia. My mechanic gives me his as a courtesy car with 280k on the clock and goes like the clappers
Brilliant what a gem that was
Another good and entertaining video David. Leo 's back I see. What does he charge, is it a one of payment or hourly rate?😂🤣 Good to see Harvey make a small debut. Dad👍🍺
Cheers Dad, love making this type of video but it does get expensive once factor the time involved to produce it
Once again another fantastic and funny video Dave
Let's hope Matt don't get banged up lol
😂 it was all fine in the end but his face was a picture
OK this Octavia is actually sick
That 'boring Lexus' was a GS450h... and even if every car in that yard was in tip top condition, that boring Lexus would destroy all of them.
Great video guys! 😁
Thank you we love making this style of content
Very entertaining video great watch
Thank you we have fun filming these 🙏🚗
Master cylinder or slave cylinder for ur gearbox issue try chanuing the brake fluid 1st if its been sat ages it could have moisture in the brake and clutch fluid
Thankfully we got it going again and got it through it's mot so back in business 👌
Cheap luxury car. Buys Skoda 😅😅😅
Laurent and Clement is for the VIPs 😅😉
@@epiccarshow yes !! Very impaired person 🤣
that skoda seems to be the natural enemy of autoalex high milage octavia. 25k miles, the very nice 1.8T, octavia in red vs. a 460k miles diesel in a blue one :D
We got very lucky with this one. Sadly we had to sell it to reinvest into the channel but our £200 Skoda Felicia is doing great
@@epiccarshowWould've been a great colab. But great channel guys, instantly subscribed to your car related shenanigans :D
thank you we don't take life too seriously @@Megingiard
I mean kinda failed the challenge as it’s not a luxury car😂 good video tho.
Yep Epic Fail but to be fair the was top spec 😅
Check if it goes into 2nd and if you can slip the clutch and move off. If you can’t engage first at all I’d say slave cylinder is shot or if you can engage 1st 2nd but doesn’t move etc your driveshaft is gone
Dude laughs at an Octavia whilst sat in a fiat panda 😅
Yeah it's all good fun 😁

And it's ulez compliant
Sure is 🚗👌
I'll happily buy the Skoda from you I'm after an Octavia
We have a massive line of buyers for this one lol
Where the hell just has 9 cars parked somewhere in that kinda state, for sale
Old imports from Singapore that genuinely are for sale
Do you still have the Octavia as keep it to the end of the year and I would like to buy it from you guys
Sadly not, we sold it to reinvest into the channel
Youknow now you have to call that car 'Karen' after stinky Karen...
😂
What ever happend to the skoda
We shifted it shortly after so we could buy the next car and some equipment for the channel
Lovely car
yeah i kind of regret shifting this one now
why the bad smell thought he cleaned it.
It was left outside in freezing zero conditions. It had leaks, condensation happened and it sat outside for a couple of weeks so it became stagnant again
Why do all car youtubers put their hands on their heads for a thumbnail?
For the viewwwwsssss!!!!!!!!
Nice Octavia to be fair, shame you are going to ruin it for views.
How can we ruin it? We cleaned it up again and sold it to nice older man who appreciated it.
