Dude is seriously the best car youtuber on this platform. Its unreal how consistently enjoyable his videos are. Not a single one is a bore.
💯 facts bro
And working like a beast. Much respect
Gaming channel
Maybe restorer, I love matte don't get me wrong but Stradman is still up there
I basically watch Matt and legit street cars (LSC)
Love seeing a humble down to earth bloke getting the spoils from hard work and commitment.
He is so good to watch! personable, down to earth and so grateful - absolutely love his content
Met him in Abu Dhabi. Gracious enough to have a photo with me. Top man.
Likewise man 🙏🏼😁
Waterpump part two 😊 I just watched the bleeding the coolant issue. Now with more history . I think you just have a big air bubble. The F430 system is a little difficult to bleed. I came up with this method and it works 100% of the time for me. If the system is fully drained you will be able to get 16 litres in using this method. Then after the car has run you can get 1.5 or so more litres in. COLD ENGINE, CAR NOT RUNNING 1) take the vacuum pump thing and leave it in the drawer. 2) on the passenger, left, side( right hand drive car). Driver side in North America, remove that small hose from the top of the radiator that you previously tried. 3) plug or just cover the rubber hose with your finger. 4) have some slowly pour in the coolant until it starts to come out of the small tube on the radiator. 5) slip the rubber hose back over the tube on the radiator and tighten the clamp. 6) pour more coolant in the tank until it is about an inch and half from the top of the radiator fill. 7) put the radiator cap back on and run the engine until it warms up. The fans, first drivers side, then passenger side will run. 8) turn the car off. 9) RESIST THE URGE TO OPEN THE RAD CAP. You’ve seen what happens. 10) have a celebratory beverage while the engine cools down completely. 11) now open the rad cap. You will be able to put in more coolant. About a litre and a 1/2 up to about an inch and a half from the top of the fill hole. 12) put the rad cap back on and warm up the engine. 13) check for fans again. 14) turn car off and RESIST THE URGE TO OPEN THE RAD CAP. 15) after the car cools check level again. That’s it. Your mileage may vary, constantly check for leaks, put a new thermostat in so the engine runs correctly. If you don’t the engine will get too cool while driving on the highway. Cheers
For the water pump. There are 3 weep holes on the pump itself. Two will leak antifreeze if the water pump seals have failed. One will leak engine oil if that seal has failed. If there is a mix of liquids out of all three, the seals have really failed. The water oil pump are on the same shaft and are driven by a chain driven gear inside the engine. If you have oil pressure you will have water circulation ( probably) . If you remove the coolant tank cap you might be able to notice the coolant moving when the engine is running. You should be able to feel the hoses under the car getting warm as the engine warms. Turn the heater on inside the car. If you get heat in the car and no leaks on the weep holes, the pump is good. It is the thermostat stuck closed. If the heat stops at the thermostat housings and does not heat the tubes under the car, thermostat failure is confirmed. Easy job don’t forget to get the gasket for the new thermostat. If you decide to change the water/oil pump assembly. Let’s setup a call if you like. Too much for texting. I made special tools so I could change mine, twice. Frustrating story. Cheers
We love you in 🇿🇦 South Africa Godspeed to you Matt & Tony

Matt... Splice in an out feed from the water pump with a T coupling in it. Hook one end back into the system and on the tail of the T attach a suitable pressure gauge... That way you can run a closed system AND see the out feed pressure from the pump... = )
and if you can work out how to power it up correctly.... just power the water pump only
@altortosa5955 it prob runs off the engine
I had the same thought.
Just put a stethoscope on the pump and listen for the pump whine. Smarter not harder.
@@ATX_Engineersecond that.. Stethoscope will definitely work... You can use it for other noises too
I absolutely love Matts KZhead content. By far the most interesting down to earth people on the Internet. I loved the bit on the airplane about keeping the toiletry bag. He said most people do not keep them but they are regular blokes so they are taking them. That sentence alone is why he is becoming so popular. He is an example of a regular bloke that made something by being determined and working hard. I have never had to skip or fast forward in any of his videos.
Hannah with a subtle hint of a Matt Jnr in the works? 👀
Hi Matt. Right Ferrari water pump situation. Have u tried putting a pressure tester on the expansion bottle. Put some pressure in it. Once that’s fine start the car up and give it a few blips of the throttle to see if the needle fluctuates. If it doesn’t then the water pump is faulty
Bro, it’s rather inspirational to see your progress. Bringing your family through like this is amazing
hannah's face when you said (another little update) thought you was going to say something else then ! Is mat about to become come a farther , is it time for a mpv build 😆 god bless mat love your channel
What does Hannah know that you're not telling us Matt? 😂😂
Might as well skip to the gender reveal now
@@MJ-fk2tb that part! 🤣
Haha! Is this how rumours start??
@@despaterson8918 pretty much 🤣
I suspect a highly modified bun in the oven. lol.
'Off, to abo dah beh' 😂 Love your vlogs man, keep it up and good luck with the McLaren, you can do it! Tony will for sure be the savior of that car
KZhead translated it as ABAB for me 😄
I wish you would call out Yorkshire Car restoration channel…they are doing an incredible job on your BMW and it would make a huge impact on their channel. Don’t forget the little guys!
It never gets old, your content is second to none,and im sure it cheers everyone up.Keep it coming.
When it comes to the water pump, they generally have something call a "tell tale" hole which will leak coolant when the bearings in the pump become worn, but seeing as it's a Ferrari and I work on Scania trucks it's probably zero help at all 😂 hope it helps anyway!
matt one of the things you can try is letting the engine run for a bit and see if the heater works, if the heater in the car works the water should be flowing to the front so the waterpomp should be working.
What an infectious human being! I’ve been watching you for years and this is my first comment. I’m just blown away how enjoyable your content is and how you consistently excites me when I see you’ve posted another main channel video. I’ve never really been into car mechanics but somehow I gravitate towards your channel, just a testament to the charisma you show on video. Fair play mate doing something you love and earning a great living while bringing everyone with you.
Looking forward to the e24 build. Ive been watching the YCR channel, Ryan is an absolute trooper
yeah thats propbarly the secret build
I freakin love everything you do! Definetly you are on the top 5 car youtubers
Top 1
TOP 3 for sure. 1000%
Matt Armstrong and DDE are a tie for first place…
Who else is worth a watch? I only watch Matt, Chris Slix, CCD and Johnny gets cash
true that
There is blatantly a Baby Mat or Hannah on the way, 13:13 “oooh!” 😂😂 If so, I wish you both all the best, you’ll make incredible parents. Keep up the hard work guys, you’re all absolutely smashing it and a huge inspiration. What have we got if we haven’t got dreams, hard work pays off and you’re living proof of that 🤙🏼
Had the same thought 👶🏼 🎉
Spot on lol
Just love how you guys are enjoying and appreciating the world you’ve created! 👏🏼👏🏼
You should be on TV 📺.... 😊.. So Entertaining, you and your team, Not forgetting your poor dad, 😂. You arw a legend 👏. Thanks for makung my day.😊
Dam text goes wrong sometimes. 😕 . Whoops.
Stay as humble as you are Matt and Co. It will take you far in life ❤
About the heating problem. You can mount a clear hose of some kind, just to see if there is air in the system or if there is flow. Then if there is no air and still get heating problems it must be the thermostat or the pump I think. Good luck with the build...
Thats smart I m gona use it on my dads car it has the same problems
Ive been watch since the 1 series and tt on the drive. Its amazing to see how far youve come.
Congratulations matt! Awesome news! 🎉
Living the dream!! Nice people, travel and cars what more would you want!
Large breasted blonde models.
the money to do it - which most haven't
I love when you upload new videos. On either Channel. I used to watch goonzsquad all the time but they went from the cars to houses n I lost interested. I’m here for the cars but Matt seems a top lad. Also your literally up the road from me

So happy to see how far you’ve made it and brought your entire team with you, your come up is next level!
Is that a Urus peeking back there? 🧐🧐🧐 @13:16
Bro same thinking.
100% thought the same. Hope so
Matt’s quickly becoming my favorite car KZheadr. He’s a really relatable guy and it’s easy to root for a guy like him.
Love the garage tour Mat can,t wait to see your new Gaming Channel👍
13:13 What did Hannah think you were going to say, are you hiding something Mat?
Thought the same thing🤰😂
Can you post an update about the rs 6
Lovin' the total randomness in this video......hilarious. Nice to see a good old chicken curry microwave meal instead of a Y-food!! 😅 Those wheels on the lambo are ❤
I'm going to have to go watch the merc videos now. Saw you on autoalex and I've been a subscriber ever since, love your videos keep it up.
Loving the content Matt, please dont go Shmee150
We know about the R8 Mat😂
It's a Urus under the tarp
@@MartinMckenna-uk8tehe also has an r8

Great update and such an incredible experience to go and see the F1! If you’re ever in need of a professional event manager, I’m available! Not too far from you either, I’m Peterborough way 😂
Looking forward to seeing how the gaming videos will turn out. Those rigs are crazy.
I’m still waiting for that bmw 635 to be back on the channel
Same! What's going on with that car?
when are we going to see the crashed blue audi r8 under the covers on the main channel?
Matt sold the R8
Man has become my idol. fantastic content, never a dull moment with Mat and the Crew. He is actually the reason why I got into cars and I've started modding mine. I should look into a salvage car and see what I can do. Keep up the amazing work! Much Love
Keep up the good work, amazing to see ur videos after a bad day, Portugal is here ❤

9:39 seems like another super car tucked away in the corner. A Gallardo by the looks of it. 😮
Not mine unfortunately
Great line up!! and the Caterham is awesome!!!!!!!!!!! the dutch caterham dealer/builder Arno is my nextdoor neighbor :-D
Just came back from Dubai on a business trip. They upgraded my first leg with Emirates, on a flight from Dubai to Kuala Lumpur, from Business to First Class. OMG! The FC lounge had its own shopping mall with personal concierge. Caviar and Dom Perignon...customised menus...incredible.
Great. What a Tour👏👏👏
matt i love your work mate !
you won't regret dry ice blasting , it's so satisfying seeing the dirt and grime blasted off. I have done all of our cars - I co own a dry ice blasting company in Hull.
Seen you about in the daily Aston a few times while out working. Don't worry the electric Openreach van flashing you is me 😂
Congrats on the success man!
Full VIP experience this mate just as if I flew there with you, the content is insane! I'll live my F1 dream now through this video LOL
Mat’s channel is super inspirational 👊
Just gets better and better. Thanks Mat
Love the comment about Croft car boot, been there many a time. Excellent video lad
Unreal way to travel! Those Emirates lay flat seats are manufactured and produced in Northern Ireland. Love the videos Matt!
Matt you are the freshest content on KZhead. Thank you for a different perspective of they KZhead lifestyle. Hope you keep up the great content and the mobility of the channel. I watch many different channels, but yours has kept my interest as your content and participants are all unique and fresh.
Living the dream, that's a very impressive car collection now.
That’s hilarious Mat because I crash at exactly the same spot! 😂 it always caught me off guard as you think the car is further over than it is and you just Clip the barrier and causes havoc 😂 3:04
Seriously cool what you guys have achieved very very well done .
Love the channel bro amazing work you do keep it up. Would be great to see an S550 GT Mustang rebuild on the channel 👌
The intro with the whole happy bunch in Emirates Business Class warms my heart. Well deserved.
What a great video! I'm really excited about the gaming channel, it should be epic! Microwave meal of choice, Salisbury steak with mac and cheese.
Congratulations Matt. Think Hannah let the cat out of the bag. 🧑🏼🍼
Hahah nope definitely not and we don’t plan too
Love all the content
Great video tour plus the f1 looked amazing. Living the life! What happened to the transporter?
Another great video Max, I never knew that you were a groupie for the F1 teams. :)
totally smashing it guys
Can't wait to see the McLaren build complete, been subbed since the first build on this first channel... Subbed to the gaming channel, road to 50k before first upload 😂😂... Keep it up, and hello from South Africa 🫡👏🏼
Attach a clear hose between the water pump and the current hose and add a piece of thread/string or similar on the inside (held in place with what ever clamp used to attach the hose), should be able to see if you got flow in the system that way. Might exist better premade solutions than a thread/string but you get the idea.
I worked at the F1 a few years ago at Abu Dhabi, best few days ever. I was one of the marshals at pit 2 for the other races.
I watch both of your channels and they're great. Because of your personality and kindness, your fans just want you to succeed. The more successful you are the more rewarding it is. Kudos!
Congrats mate keep the success coming your way the merci and Ferrari deserve a spot in the garage for sure 2 manual rare cars🇬🇧🏆
congratulations, that was sneaky
Can't wait for that gaming channel video!!!!
For testing the water pump, not totally sure if it’ll work with the setup in the Ferrari but if you put a pressure tester on(with a gauge on it) and pump it to 0.5 bar, start the engine you should see the pressure ever so slightly drop as it creates vacuum then Rev the engine you should see the gauge fluctuate, the more it fluctuates the better, if it doesn’t move at’ll then pump is goosed 👍
It you like to check the water pump maybe you could add an extra expansiontank that is clear and have long hoses then raise it up. Then you will see the flow. I did this when i wanted to see if my heat Exchanger in the parkingheater had a crack in it. So i put the extra expansiontank from the parking heater out and out of the expansiontank to the heat Exchanger in the car. With this solution you can run the car. Other solution as you say, remove a hose and start it 😅.
Subbed to gaming 👊🏻 love your vids (from Coalville)
Congratulations Hannah and Mat 👶 I’ve thought it for a couple of videos but this fully confirmed it 🍺 🥂
Looking forward to the Urus build you’re hiding there 😉
Damn those sim rigs are serious!! Goals right there haha 😂 loving the content as always bro!
Can't wait for the R8 build. Love the gen 2s
Gaming Channel subscribed can’t wait 🎉
Lovely to see Hannah! She looked like a track model!
Dude you are living the life!
Good team travel, its good u stick with ur team because you can never be too good for your team because its your team tht makes you good, matt
For the gaming channel, I recommend showing like a camera the wheel pedals, and all 3 monitors, i've seen it in some live streams, and looks quite cool.
Hi Matt. Great Video bro. Keep it up 😅🇨🇮
