I attempted to take my lamborghini murcielago that my dad and i had just rebuilt on the Gumball 3000 rally. But it only made it as far as London until it broke down. It picked up alot of problems on the way and now i have to solve as many as i can before taking it to Lamborghini themselves!

The best thing about this channel is not Mat and his cars… It’s Mat and his Dad 😍

[@JordieMotive97]

I agree. Their bond is what many wish for but don't have lol

[@petersutherland2075]

Dad must be so proud

[@ds2000]

Agree, I hope I can work on things with my girls when they're older too. What a blessing

Man i would like to help my dad rebuildin his jeep tho 😕

Mate the car is a complete fucking mess, and he paid 100 grand for it

[@fredpeter4966]

One thing I love about Matt is that he doesn't see obstacles, he only sees solutions. This is very priceless

[@loganleborgne420]

Hi! We have an old saying here in France:" there's no problems only solutions!"...it fit well to this channel and Tavarish one😉

[@gouryg4774]

Triumph over adversity appears to be Matt's mantra

[@andybee1177]

Isn't this the only way to look at difficult situations faced, put your mind to it and there's not a lot you can't overcome, as Mat keeps showing time and time again

[@bodymaker16]

Obviously he know who Zedd is :D

[@Crimewavetv1]

Matt keep the car with you forever don’t sell it you and your dad have spent hours and hours on the rebuild. Proud of you both

[@MarkoVukovic0]

I would keep it, just hope he can find tyres!

[@bluecrayon007]

A lot of rebuild KZbinrs don’t explain how parts of the cars work. I like how you explain every detail of why something isn’t working so in this video the relay for the fan and other stuff.

[@Floatdude86]

You are so close to the finish line on all the repairs, hope to see it repainted and detailed and maybe a trip to Nurburgring to drive like you stole it. Good job Dad.

[@matthewlaw8268]

This is Matt Armstrong, this is not close to the finish line by any means, it will be heavily modded and look amazing when done.

[@QrankChannel]

@@matthewlaw8268 Should surely be kept original!

[@gouryg4774]

At least this stage is close to the finish line. The majority of the gremlins have been eliminated. I can't wait to see what's the next step in the evolution of this project.

@@QrankChannel I also hope its keept the same color, maybe a darker shade.

This dude is so positive. Even when shot goes horribly wrong or he buys a bad car he sunhow turns it into a positive, it's awesome! Keep up the awesome work matt, u r a huge motivation to us all!

[@boilerhousegarage]

Alternator charge should ideally be between 14.2-14.6 volts. You're still a little low, but maybe add an earth strap or two at different ends of the car to ensure good ground connection.

[@MrMairu555]

Just came to say the same thing. Checked down the comments first though, and here you are! 😁👍

[@boilerhousegarage]

@@MrMairu555 Thanks! Although I expect Mat only sees 5-10% of comments, so no harm in mentioning it a few times.

[@muppetb.lansing8374]

I was wondering about this too, given the kinda universal nature of some these electrical faults, look for a grounding-to-chassis issue

[@samhorton2349]

That or I can rebuild the alternator for you. I imagine the amount of jump pack shenanigans has blown a couple of diodes

[@makke_]

You mean the „o-en-a-errr“? 2:29

[@KCM25NJL]

You know I think you've kinda reached that level of iconic'ness (yeah that's a made up word but I'm sticking with it)..... that no matter how much a car you rebuild doesn't make sense to do financially, it will always be profitable because of the story you give it. You're a legend mate and all your resurrections will be equally as legendary.

[@BorjaOjeda]

iconicity?

[@rileybri]

Iconicafied I believe is the pepper term. 😅

[@JAnderson19733]

This channel is simply A+++. Mat and his Dad are a joy to watch. Very informative and funny

[@kirkadams7698]

Love the connection between you and your dad!! Its priceless and your vlogs are amazing. You make my day when you and pops are working together on projects. Thank you Matt. The murci rebuild has been my favorite

[@DetailingandtheBeast]

It's always the way, you get much better results when you aren't stressing and trying to fix everything before Gumball.

[@HugoAraujoRacing]

Congratulations on this Lambo build mate. All the stories are already epic. More to come i'm sure. 👍👍

[@yamankouli9996]

Are there any news regarding the Murcielago? Everybody wants to see the finished version of this car.

[@mattbishop30]

I found myself genuinely smiling and chuckling at your response to the car Mat…what an amazing journey you’ve been on with it already and it’s so satisfying fixing all those niggles, can’t wait to see what’s next for it!!

[@phillipj_]

Honestly Mat have done a great job on this murcielago considering the condition it was previously. It looked dead near impossible to get it to this point of state. I learned something, nothing is hard,it's all about having faith in yourself & getting started with confidence and positive hopes, thts all it takes. Give it your all, your time, your strength you name it. Whatever it is you'll surely make it. Good one Armstrong 👍 👏

You know it’s nice to watch the bond between mat and his dad. Not often you get to see many people enjoy their passion with their parents. So close to getting the Merci finished now enjoyed watching this

[@EricHi1975]

Quite clear where Mat has his enthusiasm from, just one look at his dad's face explains it all. Keep up with the good work Mat and Dad (and rest of the crew of course)

[@chaseyoung5129]

Even though the car has some problems still, it’s amazing to see where it is now compared to a few months ago! Keep up the good work Mat and make this thing as perfect as possible!

[@CptHalbsteif]

What a ride. I found your Channel yesterday and decided to give it a go and I have been so happy to see you actually doing this yourself and showing what goes right and wrong and in such detail to let us know how painful it can be. The smile on my face when the engine finally ran was so big because I was so invested into this haha. Loved it, can´t wait for more now :)

[@liammurphy2725]

A totally brilliant from episode 1 to finish binge watch. The highs and lows, the detective work, the total bodges discovered and rectified. I absolutely loved it. Well done all on your fantastic job well done.

Cannot wait for fully painted and fully fixed Lambo!!! I hope the next episode will be also about your dream car. Keep it going the good work Matt!!! 🏎🏎🏎

[@davem526]

Love the relationship you and your Dad have...amazing.

[@herridge819]

You, your dad, and the others who have worked on this car should be very proud of all the work you have done. It's a bit annoying that the dealer wouldn't let you in the workshop as that bit is always interesting, especially since I used to be a service manager in various prestige dealerships over the years. I give you guys a full 10/10!

[@Chrissyjones29]

Enjoy watching all your builds but this lambo has been by far the most interesting to follow ive learnt alot just by watching, cant wait to see it all painted, hopefully going back to its original colour 😮

[@BlakeMcBride]

One of the best rebuild channels on KZbin at this point. Keep it up Mat!

[@carstentonnies7380]

In my humble opinion, I'd say "The best" rebuild channel. And the main reason for that comes down to the content and at lot to do with Marks personality, he comes across very likeable well I suppose if he didn't his channel would flop.

[@stlaroche8456]

Fascinating. Always moving forward fixing one problem at the time. I much love you and your dad constant positivity! Cheers

[@tim205Mi]

Matt, I love it that you’re on this journey with your Dad, partner and friends, just perfect, it’s all about the fun you have along the way, I know how hard creating your vision can be but as we all know you only get out what you put in…. Respect to you and the fam, thanks Matt, appreciated, keep great vids comin… cheers 🍻

I love the look on Mat's Dad. Its like his so happy just being there and being involved.

[@surooppadda5711]

already know it’s gonna be a good one

[@karcio424]

You probably could cross-check the real odometer reading between modules. VCDS (service software for VAG Group) has an built in option to check a real mileage, and it checks all of the modules for any inconsistencies. If VCDS would work for the pre-LP Murci, that could be an option to check an actual reading, and then to correct the cluster reading

[@MattyEngland]

Think this is long before they had that functionality. Usually on the older ones you just have one attempt to program whatever mileage you want.

[@WhathefrenchTV]

I've reached to him a few month ago to try to save the mileage from the old odometer, he never responded... I wanted to desolder, read the eeprom and try to figure out the real mileage.

[@karcio424]

@@MattyEngland VW Golf MK4 has that functionality since ~2000-2001 if I recall correctly so maybe pre-LP Murci has that as well

[@MattyEngland]

@@WhathefrenchTV Just the mileage from the last MOT plus 1000 miles would probably be close enough, but extracting the EPROM would have been interesting.

[@MattyEngland]

@@karcio424 Ah right, it must vary across the VAG range then as I've programed clusters on 2002 Audis and Seat Leon's and neither had the function. As long as the new clusters were 'virginised' you got one attempt to enter the correct mileage, (although it had to be done in KM and then reverted to miles later) and then once it was set that was it.

[@danellis7386]

Wow. What a trip and thank you for sharing it with us. I was going to ask if you were planning to do a recap video but your ebook surpasses that. Outstanding!

Your dad's seems like such a nice guy! Always smiling.. Absolutely love the father son relationship!

[@sinoverlord409]

Screw gumball, you did the right thing sorting out all the issues first. Screw Lamborghini dealers as well. You might think they're not impressed but that is because you did the repairs yourself and saved tons of money.

Always amazed at how many people and friends and family can get SERIOUSLY involved in repairing a central locking issue. Dismantling; wondering;..... basically spending hours and hours fiddling about to mend the issue ONLY because the car is a Lambo. If it were your sister in law's vauxhall astra virtually NO ONE would lift a finger. Welcome to the AMAZING world of Branding and advertising. The POWER of influence.

It just hit my soul. Beautiful moment. The rims are incredible You'll get her squared away I didn't know you but your Lambo dream is what got me subscribed and I enjoyed all the merci videos but this one brought a tear to my eye. Congratulations mate! All the best from New York! I wish I could've been there to see you roll into London you thug! 💪💪💪

[@stevee8920]

Considering this Lamborghini had been a track day car, mistreated daily, then left to rot for 7 years to where it is now is incredible. This is a long term ownership, so the items picked up by Lamborghini can be sorted over time. What you have Mat is time spent with your dad all recorded for prosperity and what will be a highly desirable car. I can’t wait to see it fully finished with new paint, air conditioning and taken on a road trip far less gruelling than Gumball 3000. What a story and memories you have built as well as fantastic content for us. Looking forward to the next instalment as well as new challenges ahead.
