„Paul, our mechanical expert checks over the car and confirms it’s alright.“
„Yeah, it‘s alright.“

[@techalyzer]

I did this with my Daewoo Matiz once. I guess the ECU has some of protection feature and shuts off the engine before it gets damaged, because the engine completely stopped and wouldn't start again, but once it cooled down it was ok and I still drive it 8 years later.

[@WhuDhat]

you did fix the issue right?? lol

[@andypalin3287]

Highly recommended for British Leyland motors especially! 😂🤘😎🎸

[@Spheredalai]

no way! a newly released video which looks like it's made in the mid-late 2010s!!! i definitely don't think it was actually released at that time and then gets reupload just now

[@colinnich]

Did you perhaps think of giving the video description a quick glance?

[@squeakers27]

This was a 14 year old car at the time of recording. Amazing as now we have similar or older cars on the road now in way better condition.

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

Cars last a lot longer now easily get 15 years out of a modern car if you look after it.

@@darylyatestransportblogs Easily 20 now even, look at all those Yaris' we've got around.

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

[@thaqifazumi4001]

The engine looks like from Mitsubishi 4G6x series.

So do I. This was difficult to watch. Like watching someone someone kill an animal.

[@JK_JK_JK_JK]

How old is this video?!?! 🤔🤨🧐

[@drawwithdan5821]

2006/7 I think remember watching this on a since deleted video loads of times as well as the actual broadcast.

[@garywinterbottom6073]

Mitsubishi motor in these I think from lancer.

[@endzenju]

They killed a car that only travelled 200k kilometers... Crazy how wasteful our society is when it comes down to cars. I can only imagine how landfills will look like, covered in electric car batteries that only travelled 200k kilometers or even less.

[@warren6815]

The car was going to be killed anyway, they got it from a scrap yard.

[@darylyatestransportblogs]

Scrap car anyway so no big loss it was in the name of science to make people aware how important oil is.
