I think the pre 1999 ones are the best. Well done and I hope it keeps going well.

I can't remember but the new one is now also broken so I have to replace it again. I will be doing a video on it soon so I will mention this comment and answer it.

@@DannsBangers oh it went bad again? After 2 years?

@@ocwolfy Yep, just under. On the plus side I get to do another video about it and I got some good videos when I was stranded on the M4. I also had fun telling the RAC that I had run out of electricity.

@@DannsBangers seems rather unusual for a alternator to go bad that early. Even my Jag XJ8 form 07 had the alternator running for more than 3 years after daily driving before needing a replacement. I think it might just be the one you have that's faulty. I go with denso

@@ocwolfy Yep, that is my thought too. Thankfully I found someone who fixed the original one I took off so I will put that back on and see if it is the alternator or something else.

Yes, yes I did. 😬

It will depend. Sometimes Autotrader in the UK will have them pop up. I can't be sure about other countries though

Yep. It will hopefully be nothing to worry about like mine. However I have a friend who has the XE40 and he was without the car for 6 months!

Cool, Thanks for the tip.

Thanks for your comment. You should get it running but maybe in the summer

@@DannsBangers That's exactly the plan now. I really can't be bothered to work on it in winter so it's now SORN to offset the MOT for warmer weather time.

Thanks. Yeah EV's are not "green" at all. I do think they are more fun to drive than petrol cars though (not all of them!) It is a choice. If you like ICE cars and hate EV's that is absolutely fine. Drive what you want. ICE cars will be around for a long time even if you can't by brand new ones.

You forgot something about extra weight causing damage, a mini rant about road tax, drama about all those fires in car parks, stuff about all the extra tyre and brake pad wear, mumbling about depreciation, lamenting about unaffordable insurance oh and for the complete BINGO card... Waxing lyrical about the grid can't cope and coal powered. "3/10. Room for improvement"

@@djtaylorutube So extra weight is a problem with all modern cars, fires are an urban myth that has no evidence and brake pad wear is provably less for an electric. Now the insurance issue is very real, thankfully mine is a company car so I don't pay insurance, tax or maintenance. I also don't care about depreciation. 😁

@@DannsBangers I know, you may have missed my dripping sarcasm there? ;) I don't care about depreciation either as I have no plan to sell my car. Also, the top 10 highest depreciating cars at the moment are all ICE. High cost cars suffer the highest depreciation, who buys a car and thinks it's an asset?! ICE or EV.

@@djtaylorutube Ah, sorry. Exactly what the <sarcasm> tag was invented for.

On the way to Carlisle yes. From Carlisle to Glasgow, no. There was no traffic on the second leg and I still had more range left. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for commenting. Yeah, I have many bad garage stories. Thanks for sharing yours.

I won't mention Audi then cos they were awful to deal with even when car had their Used Warranty which is worthless unless your engine blows up. @@DannsBangers

Well only as much as I do in the EV. Not really planning but just having an idea about where to fuel. Especially on a long trip because I hate refuelling an ICE car in expensive Motorway service stations. Thanks for watching and commenting.

You've obviously never driven an LPG fuelled ICE car? When we had our Volvo converted, there were no apps, mostly because smartphones hadn't been invented! Planning for refuelling was via a paper map issued every quarter. EV's with satnav are easy mode by comparison.

Yeah I was thinking that as I was hurtling towards them!

So totally defeatist.

😀@@AndrewLumsden no not totally, just don't wish to spend 40 grand to lose half of it in 2 years, I prefer to invest in memories with my family than stuck with a large car payment. And negative equity in a depreciating asset. But I do appreciate your insight into your imagined idea of my psychology. All the best

Yep, I don't blame you. I realise that EV's are not for everyone. Thanks.

@animal355 Most new cars loose so much in depreciation though. I would much rather people keep old and good cars on the road instead of buying a new one every few years. So, enjoy your old diesel and save your money for something else.

Nope, I am a petrolhead through and through.

That is good to know. Thanks for sharing.

Wow, that is some crazy views you have there. The same diesel engine (even though I hate them) was awesome in the TX4 (yes, another junk car but far far better than in every way tan this pile of rubbish) A good car will still be good even when it is old and the Chrysler Voyager will never be a good car, new or old.

Apart from you buying the voyager in bad condition, mine has the stow n go seats, no need to take seat out as they fold into the floor, I have the automatic with cruise control, also driven the manual version too, neither of the screeched around corners, all electrics work great even with them being nearly 26 years old, so sounds like you bought yours in bad condition and are complaining based on it not being fixed up and not prepared to fix it either. All cars should be looked after, otherwise they have faults and no car would be classed as good being old. And go look up what the environment stats on diesel to petrol engines, they were right to put in diesel engines, and you'll find now the uk is moving away from petrol engines more in comparison to diesel ones. And as its a MPV, they are not designed to be driven vigorously as you put it, they that's probably half your issues why the clutch cable has stretched if that's all it is, and you'll be lucky if that's all it is.

Thanks, to be honest, I just couldn't be bothered to find anything I could use and then I remembered that I kind of "do" music.

Yeah, thanks. It has been a while since I did any videos because I have been busy working. I finally got round to editing this one today. I also have two cars to fix, so I should get them done too. Ah well. Thanks for coming back though and the comment, I appreciate it.

Thanks. I wouldn't have one if it wasn't a company car. The thing was that I needed a car for work because I travel a lot and the benefit in kind tax is too much for anything other than an electric car. I am glad that I choose the Polestar 2 though. I really don't blame anyone for not getting one though. Hopefully the charging will get sorted.

Yep totally understand, it makes sense for you to have one and your polestar is quite a car😊👍

Can I just say, your response is one of the most refreshing I've heard in regards to EVs in a very long time. As you rightly say, it's a personal choice. 👍🏾

Thanks for your comment.

Thanks. I like the MG 4, it looks like it is a good car. EV driving does take a bit of getting used to but I love it.

Thanks. The new video is up now. Yeah the now job is awesome, what I was born to do, just keeping me busy which is a shame. Doing stupid stuff like spending 7 hours doing a job in Madrid, so yeah a bit crazy. Anyway, I will try to do my "reason petrol heads should love electric cars" that I can upload! Thanks so much for the support.

So glad the new job is going well and very suited by the sounds of things 😊👍

I loved driving mine too. I really miss it and a lot of people in work still mention that they miss me coming to work in it! Thanks so much for commenting, I really appreciate it.

Thanks so much for the comments. Yeah, they can be a pain. My clutch also failed. They guy who bought mine removed the vinyl but yeah I agree to try to find one that isn't wrapped.

For the front screen just slide the controls to windscreen and turn up the fan speed to full. It is doesn't work then maybe something is broken. Funny story for the rear screen, someone had cut the wires to mine (I guess to replace the boot lid) so if the back is not working, that maybe an issue.

I'm working on it, But I am just uploading my trip to Glasgow vid from August!!! Sorry, but I changed jobs in July so I have been a bit busy.

Ah cool. A good year that. Keep hold of it if you can, they don't make them like that anymore.

Thanks for the comment.

Thanks for the info. I appreciate the comment.

So I feel a bit bad that I was so mean about it, but it just made me so angry that people love the TT so much. I never actually owned this car. My cousin lent me his while he was fixing my Jaaaag. I left my jacket in it when I gave it back and I can't get it back due to complicated reasons. Also it broke down when I was driving it. Anyway, I really wouldn't buy one as I think there are so many better two seater cars out there that were designed to be actual two seater cars like the MR2, MX5 and even the MG TF (Which I actually really like). Thanks for the comment though and if people really like the TT then that is fine, I just don't like it but we are all different.

Thanks for catching up. Yes, the KZbin algorithm doesn't like me because I am not doing 5 videos a week. I did do a drive from Newport (South Wales) to Glasgow 2 weeks ago that I have a video for. That was a really good drive and I only had to charge once. I just have to find time to edit it! I also like people having different views so that's no problem but I will try to convince you. 😬

@DannsBangers I look foward to it 😊👍, that was quite a drive wasnt it, impressed with only one charge👍

I agree with you that Polestar have seemed to mess up this Volvo/Polestar split...but, isn't the Polestar based on the Volvo XC40 Recharge? So you are saying that Volvo cannot support Volvo cars. Plus holiday season in the UK really isn't the same as Europe. It really wouldn't have taken much to confirm that there wasn't a problem with it, and the fact that I didn't have to wait until the 11th of August just confirmed it. Whoever was to blame, it was just more difficult than it needed to be and the Volvo garage sucked at politeness, knowledge and customer service.

and have bits of the car fall off? I would rather have phantom issues than actual problems, thanks.

I have a 2019 Model 3. I was in a fender bender and took it to Tesla to be repaired. They've had it almost a month and it still isn't ready. I'm trading it this fall and Polestar 2 and Genesis GV60 are at the top of my list. It also doesn't help that Elon has gone off the deep end. I'm in the States, though, not in the UK.

@@TrainsFerriesFeet To be fair, a lot of companies are struggling to get parts. However I chose the Polestar 2 over the Model 3 and I am happy with that decision. Especially learning that I would have had to pay £10 a month to have the features that I have on my car.

Yeah, I was wondering if anyone would notice the few guitars. You have to see my other channel that has 4 subscribers for the music.

@@DannsBangers What's it called? I could increase your subs by 25%

It is called @ferrgle Just got a few songs on there.

Ah, yes. I will order a couple of thousand of AA batteries from Amazon. Thanks.

yeah, I do like drifting a merc, especially my old S500L

Probably but some of my other cars are better handling even when I drive them. Even the Rover 45 v6 is better somehow!?! Although there are a lot of cars that handle worse so it isn't that bad.

​@@DannsBangersw202 with sport suspension handles amazing very easy to control even when back end is sliding I do agree with you on the other stuff especially rust

@@AB-ng7zc Good point. I haven't driven one with sport suspension. It is on my list, I just have to find a banger C63!

Thanks for the comment. On the plus side, the issues with the jag mean more content. Sorry yours is broken, but as you say, classics break. I just need to do the electric vs. petrol video without getting angry. Thanks for the support

Yeah, a manual C180 is a bit strange and I would recommend people to buy an auto, however, having a manual C180 does make it a better car to drive hard. Don't get me wrong, I love automatics but driving a manual C180 is almost fun.

@@DannsBangers I do ride a motorcycle (with a manual gearbox obviously) on a daily basis and do enjoy it. But as for cars I personally don't like manual gearboxes at all. Therefore my choice was an automatic C220. Very sweet car. So again, very controversial)))

@@stanislavmikhailiukov1005 Yep. For daily driving I love an auto. So, yeah you are right, very controversial. Thanks for your comment.

Thanks for your comment. I know it is amazing! Prices are crazy.

Thanks for commenting. Yes, prices especially for small cars have gone up massively.

@@DannsBangers I am just in the process of replacing the sub frame & front suspension on a 2002 Amica( in the same colour as yours), and repainting the underneath. The car has only 25k on the clock , so it should last for another 20 years. The front sub frame & rear suspension attatchment points are the weak spots on these cars.

@@andy530i Thanks for the comment. Well done. They are great cars and deserve someone to look after them. I hope you get many years from it

@@DannsBangers Thanks, unfortunately is belongs to my sister-in-law, I have a 2002 Volvo S80, which I have owned for the past 5 years. :)

I checked the scrap price with a few companies and they were coming back at about £100. I guess metal prices aren't what they used to be

I scrapped my rotten mondeo last month for £280. I dove it in

@@guth21776 Well done. That is a good price
