POLICE TRIED TO TOW MY TWIN TURBO LAMBORGHINI

We broke down in my twin turbo Lamborghini as soon as we got off the ferry in spain. We tried to diagnose the issue, but had no luck and had to leave it at a random garage in spain. Now we had to head back to the Lamborghini and try to fix it before trying to get back onto the ferry to the UK. Then we had an issue with the Spanish police on the way that wanted to tow the car away!

It's crazy how out of all the crash damaged cars you've bought (including a Maserati), the car you've had the most reliability issues with is a Lamborghini you bought from a dealership... Glad you've got it back to the UK, must've been stressful having car issues abroad

[@MatArmstrongbmx]

😂😂😂 who would of thought it 😅🤷‍♀️

[@JaeVoris]

haha such is life.No guarantees

[@jimjamthebananaman1]

That’s what happens when you upgrade it to produce so much power though

[@MatArmstrongbmx]

@@jimjamthebananaman1 thing is the crank sensor has nothing to do with the upgrades 😅🤷‍♀️

Take your laptop and cable with you wherever you go now, that's a valuable lesson learnt. Good content though

[@DurkoppFordertechnic]

I would imagine it requires expensive software as well to talk to the ECU.

[@Leechy-df8pg]

@@DurkoppFordertechnic I'd assume the company who installed it can log into the laptop remotely and scan the ecu.

Yes, I always take my OBD scanner on my road trips just in case I get the check engine light when you least expect it. Glad Matt was able to get back to the UK albeit stressed out to say the least. I have a 2012 Audi S5 and so far it's running well with over 120,000 miles on the clock. All the best.

Such a shame it caused such a stress to the holiday. However, it’s a great lesson and will make the next trip that bit better! Glad it’s fixed now mate! 🙌🏼

[@AllowRS]

Waited for this for a while! Glad its out now

[@philtucker1224]

Mat and Hannah! How wonderful that you both had the moral fibre to film the whole gut wrenching adventure. My girlfriend and I had a similar experience driving to the south of France in an Escort Mexico back in the 1970s. We learnt a lot of french words for car parts and eventually got it repaired without cutting short the holiday. We married soon after that and are still together almost 50 years later! (Just saying…) 💪😊😎🥰

[@Bob-ts2tu]

you and the mexico are still together? that's wonderful - how's the old girl doing?

[@joshualamb8520]

matt is is the most genuine kind hearted person on youtube! i’m so glad that you fixed it :)

[@michaelrose7258]

Now that's stressful. Great how you never stopped smiling and a positive attitude throughout. Glad its sorted mate, and a cheap fix. Looking forward to the next video.

[@mikeg0810]

Glad it’s sorted - turned the trip into an adventure at least!! Hope you had a good holiday despite the car headaches 👍🏼

[@LittlePK7]

Absolutely big up both of you keeping it together during that horror. Well done 💪

[@simonbelson4503]

Glad it's sorted Mat, your outlook is legendary, kudos for being so jovial about the whole thing, top man

Mat - I appreciate so much your videos. I know how frustrating this work must be, but you carry on every time with joy and a smile. Keep living your best life!

[@therealghost2178]

Matt, it's great how transparent you are, just goes to show that KZbinrs aren't all glam and glitter, it's mostly dealing with crap after crap! Glad it's sorted!

[@simonwilliams5667]

Stress levels must have been at the max!!! Glad it’s all sorted and you both got back safe and sound👌🏻

[@GAS.M3]

This is my number 1 fear on going on road trips with my own car. Stranded in the middle of nowhere and having to tow my car, from one place to the next. Glad you guys got back home safe and the issue was fixed quickly with out causing any harm to the car.

[@JoshsLife]

It's great you were able to keep smiling on camera and pushing positivity because I know for sure off camera it would have been stressful!

[@warrenclay2839]

Big respect for keeping so calm, my head would be rolling. Great to see it was an easy fix 👍

[@martinroe7183]

After watching that i felt your pain all the way... Hannah did not look impressed either. Are we going to have a part 2 road trip with the lambo, maybe just in the UK this time. Stay cool guys 👌

[@oliverghunter]

It might have been over 2 years ago but watching now still brought tears to my eyes. Partly thinking of my wife's face and what she might say if I told her we were going to have sleep the night in a Fiat Panda! 🤣 Well done for perservering and glad you got home OK in the end - the most expensive crank sensor ever bought! 🙈🤭

[@amcr3556]

Your holiday horror story is better than anything shown on TV for months now. Couldn't wait to see this episode. Glad you are both home OK. This would be my absolute worst nightmare. Really impressed how you both kept your cool on video anyway. #respect

[@simonandrews5041]

Note to self keep cable and laptop in the car from now on, nightmare feel for you man, been there know what it’s like

[@DurkoppFordertechnic]

Probably wouldn't have helped. Needs some expensive software as well to talk to the ECU.

[@danielbeedham9645]

Good job getting it back to the uk Mat, it was stressful just watching…. Need to do a re visit next year, though maybe take a laptop and cable haha. Great content as usual 👍👍

Hey Mat well done for keeping your cool and continuing to solve problems. I've been in a similar situation on a number of occasions and it's a nightmare! Staying calm and focused is definitely the way forward. Fantastic video content tonight. You genuinely inspire me to keep pushing to grow my channel. Awesome! .. loved every minute of that.

Such a shame that something so small caused so much stress. You’ve done an amazing job keeping your head up throughout the mishaps

[@Kevmac332]

These things come to test us, how we deal with it is the lesson learned. Glad you're both safe.... stay positive 🙏

[@dontuno]

I was living your journey home and the experiencing the stress of it all! Well done for keeping it all together. The irony is the "crankcase sensor" is most likely just a simple magnet. There's no moving parts (as I'm sure you know) but somehow they fail. What a bummer but glad you're now home.

[@EVILGT]

It's amazing that something so simple caused you the problem but at least you're back and a bit of drama never hurt anyone 😂 I think a lot of people would have given up and just got it transported back so well done! 💪

Oh god, I used to have an old rover cut out randomly and not start like this and it was a crank sensor. What a bloody nightmare! Can't imagine the stress... bad enough in any car nevermind the lambo. Love the vids, glad you got it back and got it sorted. Keep up the good work 👍

[@benl8177]

for all that stress, brilliant content to watch!

[@tass2001]

I grew up with little means and my mom owned a few MOPAR cloud cars (the Cirrus and Stratus specifically here in the U.S.). Two of those cars exhibited these exact same symptoms when, of course, their crank sensors failed. Your bit about no one wanting to help you resonated with me as we experienced the same thing. We would stall out at random and people would just get angry at us and never try to help. Of course we waited months to get it to a mechanic that could fix it, so it was an experience that shaped me to stop and help anyone I could as long as it were safely possible. Glad you made it back well.

[@trimportersvanconversions6973]

Glad you've got back safe and well dudes! What a journey!!! From the off I said Crank or Cam sensor and as you say, its not expensive to sort but I bet you are still kicking yourself for not taking the laptop and cable with you.. Hindsight is a wonderful thing!

[@xsnrgy05]

Amazing all right, reminds me of the early Honda cars when the igniton module inside the distributor would crap out after it got hot, cool it down and away you go until it heated up again.

[@FransvandenBergeMuziekschuur]

You have now learnd to troubleshoot under pressure. You kept it together mate. Good on ya.

[@forthevibez4756]

It's one thing getting stuck down the road from your house but that far must of been nerve wrecking I'm glad you guys are safe!!

[@rogerbrowne5694]

Hi Mat. I only recently discovered your channel but am now addicted. I very much admire your skills, enthusiasm and character. I started watching your Lamborghini trials in Spain when it was unclear what the problem was. It made me think back to a Citroen CX I owned back in the 1980`s. I would go out in it never knowing if I would be getting back home. It would just cut out at random. My local garage spent hours trying to identify the problem - no computer boxes back then.. Funnily enough they also changed a fuel solenoid active when.starting and it iseemed to work. 2 days later it conked out again. It was eventually solved - a faulty crankshaft sensor! I was amazed when it turned out that your problem was the same. My very best wishes, Roger.

[@davidmacdonald7841]

Glad you got home ok and got it sorted. 👌👍

[@kevinbryan8224]

Hi Matt when I saw the first video I thought it's potentally a crank shaft sensor that. I had the same issue on a E39. It's not even that expensive a part. Glad u sorted it though sir😃.

[@colinadgie6043]

Such a shame that the sensor went whilst on holiday! Great content as always. A credit to how resilient you are mate. You must be the only person driving a Lamborghini with a top box on…… love your style. Respect!

[@daviddempsey7675]

happened to me in an Alfa Spider on a busy day on the Seven Sisters Road ..luckily i managed to cruise to a parking spot ...when the rescue guy came it started as normal ..turned out to be the crank sensor!

[@leolebarre35]

In the future, here's a tip for any vehicle with a crank position sensor.. (almost any modern car with EFI) : When trying to start, look at the tach. If you have no tach movement whilst cranking, or it drops out whilst cranking, you've lost the CPS. 30 Year Euro car tech chiming in. And yes, they do fail randomly and are often affected by heat in their failure mode. No starts, I always watch the tach.

[@grahamsalmons2027]

Go back Matt. I toured the Picos mountains in my XK/R and the roads were EPIC. Just do a take two! Please!!!

[@mac801123]

Bloody hell mate I feel for you, all that trouble just for a sensor! So glad you got back eventually with it and got it sorted. I bet you carry that lead everywhere with it now. Still need to.take the bumper off. Lol top work keep it up. 👍

Just started watching your videos after a mention on the breaking bread pod (beardmeatsfood) and i love them! Great presentation

[@bubibubi]

A friend of mine had exaxtly the same issue you had on the crankshaft. It's related to the car roof box. You can't install a car roof box on a Lamborghini otherwise you incur on the curse of Battista (Pinin) Farina.

[@thumbs97]

Told ya so got the exact same problem om my 911 a while ago , would sometimes start when engine cooled off

[@dronemaniac8798]

Many times i go on holidays to the south of Portugal the car comes with some kind of issue... i also dont understand, maybe the heat but in october its not hot in Spain
