Cracking video that Chris! I keep checking the slide bar to see how much is left - Addictive content 👌🏻

[@wrongmark]

Have I accidentally ended up in a parallel universe where Mat Armstrong is now called Chris?

[@Jake-ym7tv]

My thoughts exactly 🤣

[@user-py5xi5gq4b]

Literally

[@keefmilbo61]

Deja vu

[@SP-ot4wc]

They best friends

[@matthewbrown5562]

Good video there enjoyed that. You'll struggle to get a inner tie rod, try Aston bits for that. If not, new rack or ebay for a reconditioned one 500 quid. David Apply Engineering are excellent for modding stuff. Get the V12 sills. 1200 quid. Best of luck fella

[@XxBretterzzxX]

Don’t rate the shite music playing whole way thru tbf

[@mimeartiste887]

SYNETIC is where Mat Armstrong (June 16th) sourced a Tie Rod for Aston Martin Advantage 100pounds

[@user-qq2mo1ek2r]

VH platform Aston's (as this car is) are hand made bonded aluminium, just like the Lotus Elise etc. Make sure you get a trickle charger from CC Charger as the battery doesn't last long without being used.

[@Gr1m420x]

Yes Chris keep up the good content been following the 135i now this. You and Matt are going to have to do a race or something when your both done

[@haydenmccarthy4073]

I genuinely get excited when I see Chris upload, can’t wait to see the future projects and growth!!

[@simonterhorst9838]

The silver wheel looks so much better. I hope you will change the black wheels to silver as well. Nice video!

[@mikaeljonsson4686]

Astons are among the most beautiful cars! 😍😍😍Looking forward to the next one!

[@mcard6770]

Check the fuse box on the right hand side of the boot and look for fuse 22. If it's there remove it and the valves in the exhaust will stay wide open. They normally remain closed below 4000 rpm. Great sound... takes 5 minutes and it's free !

[@Chris_Slix]

Yes you legend! Love little hacks like this 🤣

[@1881Gordon]

Nice one Chris. You have a great project there which doesn't look to badly damaged & sounds brilliant. Great, enjoyable content, and can't wait to see what you have for us in the next installment.😀

[@mstock3107]

Im hooked can't wait for more content how fun was it replacing the battery 😡 20k miles time for a new clutch ? just replaced mine $7500 US on a 2007 vantage but its running great

[@elwittinio2865]

Been watching Matt for a while, came across your vid. Subscribed 👊

[@LiqdPT]

When you plugged in the OBD2 code reader, did you try both ports? One is engine and transmission, and the other is everything else.

[@dean5699]

I'm watching this series with interest Matt! 😉

[@oliverwright44]

Vids are great, you and Matt are legends. Loving the fact you are both taking on Astons! Good luck with it!

[@LiqdPT]

Yes, it's a bonded aluminum chassis.

[@s28ero]

Might be a good idea to get a trickle charger to keep the battery topped up whilst its being repaired.

[@thebrokenbolt3990]

That old wheel isn't scrap! Its modern art.

[@brianiswrong]

I might be way off but Lots of car alarms use a " hidden" self charging battery (so it can still do the siren if a scrot has it away and removes the battery) it's possible the self charging alarm battery is dead and the car sees not enough volts and throws the alarm message.

[@Chris_Slix]

You may well be right, either that or i think there is a sensor that is common to need replacing.

[@christianvann4222]

This looks like an easier fix than it did when delivered. Hope the aston gods are kind to you 😆

[@Chris_Slix]

Its just lots of baby steps! It will be sorted before we know it… hopefully 🤣

[@acko8016]

Love the content as per mate hope that oil leak is easy fix

[@johnchambers1250]

You can buy brake pad sensors for £2.50 from amazon, don't pay £50 from Aston!

[@Chris_Slix]

Send me a link if you could please john!

[@mictaylor9531]

Quality Chris and on the absolute contrary, watching you find the parts was top draw - thanks 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🍺👌🏻

[@johnelbro127]

Great video, now looking forward to more. 👍👍👍👍

[@yashofficial___]

great video mate!!!! looking forwards to next video

[@markchip1]

RATHER THAN GOING THROUGH THE THESAURUS FOR SIMILAR WORDS TO "REPAIR", OVER AND OVER AGAIN - WHY NOT JUST CALL THE EPISODES "REPAIRING MY ASTON" EP.1/2/3/4 ETC??

[@projecteuroau]

Jealous of this one. Looks like a nice and easy fix!

[@garymorris801]

Really good I done a db7 during lockdown

[@joec3358]

Brilliant stuff, looking forward to seeing more of this!

[@bigmatt2896]

Christ thats the worst wheel ive ever seen, as a laugh chris you should take it to a wheel specialist and ask if it can be repaired :) great video though, gotta love a V8.........to us petrol heads the V8 is the pinnacle of engines. wish my V8 sounded like that :( keep up the good work mate.

[@Chris_Slix]

Im sure your v8 will be much faster than this 🤣 appreciate the support matt!

[@bigmatt2896]

@@Chris_Slix your welcome mate, really enjoy the content. giving the jag its 1st wash this weekend since you detailed it,want it looking its best ready for my holiday.

[@jester-lester]

There is a manual release to tilt the seats 1:16 you know that right? You didn't need to put power on, there's a strap on the back of the seat (in the recess) that you pull out to fold the sears forward

[@philcross1057]

Looking forward to seeing her finished and you getting a Porsche in for the next build! 👍🏻😁

[@Chris_Slix]

You read my mind! 😊 lets enjoy this one for the foreseeable though! 🤣

[@philcross1057]

@@Chris_Slix definitely a good number of episodes on the AM to come first! 🤣

Great vid, and awesome car

[@ukaddress2929]

The cone filters you fitted, surely they will suck up water easily?

[@OwenLewis67]

Such a good looking car. get into that wing!

[@legobatman8353]

Bit like watching Matt Armstrong but without the teeth.

[@kamilozw86]

You said u will tell how much u paid for car.

[@Chris_Slix]

If the video hit 1000 likes, it hasnt yet 🤣

[@matthewjones3915]

Great job 👏 keep it going. I’m sure you’ll be able to use the tire off the scrap rim. Hope it’s not popped ✌️

[@Chris_Slix]

Thanks mate! Probably not worth the risk better off gettin a fresh one id imagine.

[@thewhiteastra]

Looking good mate

[@ashleyleonard1479]

So you have a wheel with a flat spot and a tyre with a flat spot 🤷‍♂️😂 great video, on to the next one I go

[@Chris_Slix]

And a head with a bald spot 🤣 thanks man appreciate it!

[@waynefranklin8974]

Well done Chris another job well done

[@Talltwunt]

Can't wait till you wrap or paint it :o

[@brandonkanagasabay1416]

Is there oil on the floor pal

[@birch4x4]

😁 sorry about the tyre on the wheel I sold you, is a shame about the flat spot 👍

[@Chris_Slix]

Disgraceful 😅 only joking I only paid for an alloy so its a bonus!
