The last "natural disaster" in Stockport occurred in 1948 when my mother in law was born at Stepping Hill Hospital.

[@HighPeakAutos]

😂😂

[@skimmingstoness]

I've heard even though the war ended in 1945 the old girl still has some bomb damage on her.

[@johnbaldock6353]

Best Quote Ever!!🤣👏

[@timhancock6626]

The alternator failed on my ancient Citroen Dyane in Stockport on Xmas eve 1977. I had to get back to Leeds.....I made it..switching the lights off if nothing was coming 😱 Needs must....and all that.

If your Missus, reads this bit....Ouch!😂😂😂😂

[@geebee6737]

what happened to the front discs , the parcel shelf , new number plates and reasons for the car pulling to the left and steering wheel grating sound.....I feel unfulfilled by this episode 🤣

[@pauldavies6037]

yes there were no comments

[@michaelreid6944]

My favourite car channel on KZbin, by a country mile. Matt is a dyed in the wool car enthusiast, has a brilliant self deprecating humour, is knowledgeable , has an honest face, is a brilliant presenter and seems to be a decent chap. Always look forward to the next car.

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks!

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Honest Face?? He’s a used car dealer, so that’s wrong!!😂😂😂😂

[@trumpetrider565]

Def someone I’d buy a car from without a doubt. 😊

[@airthreypark]

....but he's a City fan!

[@user-ck1jv3nw8d]

I was in hospital last year, and watching Matt's antics kept me out of a very dark place. Have a look at Flipping Bangers with Will Trickett, no competition for Matt as they are at different ends of the spectrum - but again, a really excellent show with two very honest and enthusiastic presenters.

[@andrewTVF]

Let me guess, Matt overspent.

[@Brian-om2hh]

It's getting about as certain as the Wonder-Grip van being parked up...... High Fly tyres.. they sound like real ditch finders. Not normally bad sellers these, and usually reliable even when older...

Great work Matt. Spending that bit more, made for a much better result. Keep up the good work.

[@tonybell5641]

Parcel shelf Matt!

[@brianiswrong]

And number plates?

[@Yorkshiremadmick]

Always £100 💀☠️💀

[@richbutler5815]

Number plates, £15, and Matt fits those himself!😂😊

[@peterstanford9720]

Your videos are so good and I keep thinking how undervalued used cars are when you think about all the engineering in them. Amazing value for money.

[@elliotm]

Thanks for the before/after shots near the end. Good to see direct comparison.

[@markgollan]

You should move to The Highlands - it rains here in the first week in October and twice in January - the rest of the time it is sunny. Trust me- I'm an Estate Agent!!!!!

[@Anrirua]

He's just up the road from Forres in a hamlet called Forreal...

[@calibrazxr750]

And snows the rest of the year.

[@Finglesham]

The rest of the year is so dark you cannot see the weather.

[@rogerjohnson8540]

I thought it only rained twice a year in Scotland: February to the end of July and August to earlyJanuary.

You could live here in the Loire Valley in French France with that skill in the local vernacular and wake up to blue skies and wine!

[@colincleary8669]

I quite like that kia matt I know 3 people who have had them and they all say there great cars and very reliable but as you say full service history is the key to a good vehicle another great video matt 👍 I know I've asked you before when are you going to do the follow up video on your 07 4.2 audi a8 you bought looking forward to that matt 👍

[@chrisdunn8215]

Another great video, thanks Matt. Thanks for the Airvidox tip I just bought a Hyundai Tucson for the wife and the previous owners were DOG people i have had all the seats out cleaned them all and the carpet but I can still smell a little dog somewhere lets hope Airvidox can set it free, other than that its a great car. Keep the vids coming Matt and your buddies at Transformotion, they have a good youtube channel too, i hope it keeps growing for them like yours has for you. Cheers.

[@bobbyboy6397]

Had mine three years and I love it. Only use BP diesel and she’s fully serviced every year and I clean her regularly 😊😅

[@DanielBennett-sp7bc]

Huge respect to you paying out to sort problems. I think there's a lot in the trade who would try to skimp to save a few quid. Keep up the good work.

[@martinthompson54]

Hi matt, at least you done a great job on the car as usual, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

[@georgedaville4662]

Hi Matt, love the European language snippets to cheer us up on a wet day in the Peak District. Good solid and honest car 👍😎

[@northstar1950]

I had a three month old one of these cars, 4x2 with a lot of extra bits and a sun roof, back in 2013, had it for eight years, cracking motor and the spare wheel was exactly the same as the ones on the car, ah those were the days!

[@trumpetrider565]

I had a 2012 KX3 auto and absolutely loved it. We also towed a caravan which it did brilliantly. Regularly serviced and sold it last year at 106k miles. Now have a Skoda Karoq DSG which is also awesome.

[@jamesprice7470]

Great vlog nick and jo and a great picnic

[@mishalchotai4721]

Great video as always Matt. Love it pal.

[@patrickhowell5578]

I used to put Hyflys on my daughters 06 KA years ago. They were a good budget tyre, very good in the snow as I remember.

[@jo05dk]

Airvidox! Good to hear i wasn’t the only one struggling to find that product. Thanks for sharing, finally 😄

[@HighPeakAutos]

Glad I could help!

[@sagiroth121]

Another massively overspent vid! Love it!

[@lesrichards636]

Hi Matt well when i saw the frog that does not work and spare dog lead what more could you ask for plus a good spare. Then it went down hill no brakes . Another good video with a good end hopefully car sold.

[@manamal77]

More now catching on to what the Wonder Grip guys have done and now Dents have positioned their vans with the website and phone number showing LOL Love it. Great Video as always - Matt

Mate of mine has the identical car but on a 62 plate & in the 3 or 4 years he's owned it the car has been excellent.

[@petrolhead28]

I love the follow-up part of these when you say 'do you remember?' - yes we remember, because for us part 1 was 30 seconds ago!! :P

[@CraigFlanagan1975]

Wasn't as massive overspend as you thought, £900 you gave yourself in the end :) Excellent work as usual.

[@VailingGoose]

The advert for these was good one as well.

[@WEFLIPANYCAR]

Great video mate, love the content keep up the good work.

Can't believe I only found this channel a few months ago... It's brilliant 🔥🔥🔥👍👍👍😎😎😎🙏

[@HighPeakAutos]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@connclissmann6514]

"New set of platers and a good buff" is surely a given for each car now? Followed by "wheels need a clean up and a proper valet would tidy this up". Those wheels were terrible! Thanks for the video.

[@BSG99]

Had both a 2008 and 2016 Kia Ceed. both were a fortune to repair. Had front left calliper failures on both too. However the engines were mint

[@gazgrob]

Hi Mat, loving the content . You forgot to get the parcel shelf ….there goes your profit margin again 😂 .Gaz

[@brentgilmore3281]

I wish we had diesel options as well as the gas mileage options over here Matt. Thats one of the crazy things I just don’t understand between the US and the UK. You guys get tons of options when purchasing vehicles and astronomical mileage. We have to buy a hybrid to get higher mileage and y’all still beat us hands down!!!!!

[@norsegolf76]

Another great vid! Thanks for the entertainment. 👍

[@HighPeakAutos]

Thanks!

[@rogergowers4415]

Merchandising opp Matt. T-shirts. "Hi guys, welcome back...", "...well we're here" " and we're back and I've massively overspent..." I'd wear one down the pub....Cheers Roj

[@md-detailing]

That sportage looks factory fresh after the Highpeak autos Treatmen! Great video and work as always Matt! :D

Thanks!

[@originalchill]

£180 for the wheel refurbishment is a bargain (IMO) superb job! Makes a massive impact on the car 😀👍🏻

[@sagiroth121]

100% I wanted to do on mine but I had quotes or 400+

I paid £240 about 6 years ago and same place now want about £320.

​@@richf1182£80 per wheel. I wanted one of mine done and then I found a perfect wheel on e Bay with a good tyre for £70. So I even kept the old wheel as a spare gained a tyre and saved £10.

Video idea - a tour of the country lanes above Stockport stopping at each location where you announced 'I've massively overspent'. There's been a lot so should get a few videos out of it.

[@martinbarker7500]

I have a 2013 Sportage 2.0 diesel, it’s done 200,000kms and the only thing that it’s needed is a rubber mount on the rear differential, they’re just very well put together cars

We have a 71plate we have had since new and its great . We also still have the car it was got to replace a 10reg 2.0dci Qashqai which we have had since new , it has done just shy of 180 k and i wont lie hasnt aged as well as the Kia . Still goes like stink though, may even give it a road trip next month to Huddersfield

Great review Matt

[@alanhunter2009]

You wondered where Forres was, Matt. It's on the North-east coast of Scotland, roughly half way between Aberdeen and Inverness.

[@littlepippin8445]

I remember Forres !! Was at Kinloss in the 80's....Drinking at the Carisbrooke...

[@willxv226]

Forres is 26 miles from Inverness and 77 miles from Aberdeen, hardly half- way even roughly!

[@timhancock6626]

Lovely place Forres. Camped there with the family in 2003.

I never put new Tyres onto the rear axle ... Always onto the front steering axle, and front wheels moved to rear axle.
