I have always had a love of cars but zero mechanical know how, which kind of scuppers the plans of doing anything with them. However, it's all just nuts, bolts and fluids, right?
Join me as I take the gamble of buying cars that are on a one way road to the breakers and try to breathe new life into them.
Got any suggestions, email me: currus@myself.com

COPART PURCHASE WITH NO PREVIOUS OWNERS!? ON A 13 YEAR OLD CAR!
Alright, i bought this 13 year old Skoda Octavia for one reason and one reason only, it had no previous owners from new! The same person owned it putting 161500 miles on it. It was listed as having zero problems other than “age related marks” and i just had to find out how well this car had been looked after.
Join me as i find out that sometimes people really do take care of their cars… apart from not keeping them clean!

If you have a car which you think still has life in it and your based around the North East and you want a quick sale with a share of the profits (if there are any) email me at CURRUS@MYSELF.COM with the details.
Most of all, cheers for watching.

Of trying to save this car, along with over an hour of footage for yourself to torture yourself with (with regards to that stupid fault sound! Not my beautiful face, of course) we have reached the point of not just saving this Ford Mondeo, but admitting that it is actually my best Copart purchase (to date)! I know...

Can't find many videos of her. That says alot. I don't think she would even get in the arsenal academy now, with the talent coming through.
Not necessarily, the woman's game has come on leaps and bounds over the past decade, in both popularity and skill. Just think about how many "great" male footballers there have been that won't have videos on them...
Great video , well done saving cars !
@@Amy-p3k-z1w one car at a time! We'll save .... Most lol.
Thinking of you ❤
Great value car
Another solid video, Sir. Just straight to the point with everything! We specifically produce LEDs for auto. Can we invite you to do a review for our product? We've reached out to you
Cheers for the invite but atm I'm just looking to continue to do my own thing.
Can’t believe you have just popped up on my UA-cam. It’s Gippa. Hope your doing awesome
@@ToonArmy-wx5oc lol alright mate, I can pop up many places 😉 lol
@ Hope your well mate. Miss the old gang for sure
Got my engagement party end of March if fancy a bit of a reunion 🎉
Speedy recovery for your Dad, hope he’s back on his feet soon. As for Alloy wheel cleaner I use an Acidic Wheel cleaner. It’s pretty toxic stuff but gets baked on brake dust off in a couple of minutes. I got it off Amazon Happy New Year!
@@ianberry1713 Cheers mate, he's just gotta put the work in. With it being acidic, does it do any damage to the "finish" if there's a slight defect? That would be my concern with older cars...
@ I’ve been using it on my Copart cars for the past year and none of the alloys have been damaged due to using it. If you leave it on too long it might discolour them but I rinse it off after a couple of minutes and they come up like new.
Get yourself some alloy wheel cleaner bud, euro car parts do one called triple qx and it's good stuff. 5L for around £13
@@joem8213 thank you!! I'll give it a shot. I've been looking for a one which "works" because everyone I've tried has been shite!
@@CurrusOfSalvage dont buy triple qx then, its shite, no better than hot water
Defoo one boring lad at 23 😂😂😂
Excellent news on your Dad 🎉
@@rickyrall1971 Cheers mate, it's going to be a long recovery but! He'll get there!
Nice video, great car but sorry to hear from your pops. Hope he recovers well 🙏
@@lukas0846 Cheers mate, he'll get there! He'll be back stronger... And partly metal lol.
Check aircon, does it work?
@@larryrichmond8929 everything worked on it... The heating was like sitting with lava blowing in your face! It was so hot lol
I have a 2010 1.6TDI with 22000 miles on clock. Brilliant though just spent 2k euro on engine in bits to keep it going.
@@larryrichmond8929 I'm glad to hear you're keeping it alive, worth every penny if you love it.
Get some propper wheel cleaner lol😅
@@craigrice1960 which would you recommend? I've tried loads but when it's that "cruddy", sweet FA seems to shift it...
@CurrusOfSalvage triple qx wheel cleaner, can get it at euro car parts for £13. Stray it on and leave it for 5 mins and it will break down all the dirt mate
Costco sometimes do wonder wheels on offer
@@CurrusOfSalvage use bilt hamber surfex hd neat on the wheels, dont leave sitting for too long, will come up like new, bout £18 for 5 ltrs
Have you ever tried bca auctions mate
@@michaeltaylor1553 I bought a Mazda 626! From them years ago, about 10 or so when I needed a car quickly but other than that I haven't.
Sorry to hear about pops just do what I do when I get a car take the wheels off and give them a good scrub even tho it's cold it looks better than it did tho
Hi,what's the crack with Copart, sons car has been written off because of the damage to the front passenger door, it's a Renault clio 1.2 2018 and has 51.000 miles. They are picking the car up on Tuesday, what sort of price is it worth salvage. Sorry if this seems like a daft question but it's all new to me. Cheers
@@raybell7696 alright, it's hard to say really with it being an auction site. Most of the "est retail value" seem to be around £8k for them but that figure is always way over the top to try and get people to bid higher. Insurance companies used to offer you the chance to buy a car back at a certain percentage of the value (I think 10-20%) but my mates car just got written off and he wasn't given the option. Might be worth asking though, shy bairns get nowt at the end of the day... Good luck.
@CurrusOfSalvage They have said I can buy it back at salvage value if I want, wasn't going to buy with the mileage and condition I'm thinking of changing my mind and buy it.
@@raybell7696 it'll definitely be worth asking how much they want for it... Even if you sell it on unfixed, you'll probably make money on it.
Best asking the insurance company what they want as you are entitled to buy it back 👍
@@raybell7696 buy it back and sell it to salvage rebuilds uk they’ve got a UA-cam channel and pay you a bit more than you bought it back for
Sorry to hear about your dad bud.
Cheers mate
Hi everyone, I just wanted to give a quick update on my pop’s. He’s currently still in hospital and has a number of ongoing issues but he is slowly starting to gain movement in his leg/hip and he will soon be able to stand on his own and build up to walking again.
Glad the op went well mate. Class vid as always
@@CurrusOfSalvage Sending love mate
Hope your ok bro. Can’t wait for your next vid.
No need to apologise mate! We all understand life comes first, channel second. We'll wait and enjoy the content when it comes.
Sorry to hear this mate, i shall look forward to your return!
@@daveygman8737 😬 Cheers mate, hopefully it won't be too far away
I hope all is well bud
@@Theworldsobvious Cheers mate
Have you solved this issue yet. I had similar with a cmax. It was a dry solder joint on the clocks in the dash. Remove the dash. Take out clocks and resolder the board. Took me 10 mins and fixed the issue.
@@ianrobins-p4s aye it was the ECU, there's a third video on it. I tried the clocks but it wasn't that mate.
I still have my PlayStation 3 so I could consider taking it round my flat sometime because I recently ordered the cables I need for it I think.
Yes!!! But try not to lose too much of your life 🤣
Except I am not married, and I would probably start with Scarborough Athletic/ Eastbourne Borough/ Lancaster City if they were available
Same here, and I would probably start with a Conference/ National League, National North/South side, and get a brand new Stadium if we begin doing well.
@@jamesfish18 Heed to Champions League 😉
I’d love this back for PlayStation 5
@@jamesfish18 ohhh it would be amazing! But... I would lose far too much of my life lol
Charlie Adam's popularity in Korea is beyond imagination. Korea has a developed macho culture, so there are many fans who are impressed by his masculine and tough soccer style. Even Korean fans are calling him General Charlie. This is because Charlie Adam feels like a charismatic figure who overwhelms the enemy and leadership on the field. Especially when I see him on the battlefield with a look on his face that says he has nothing to lose but soccer, my opponents feel afraid and fans feel thrilled. I miss General Charlie very much.
Look forward to your 2025 cars
Thanks man, means a lot to hear that. Hopefully we'll see some "interesting" ones, in one way or another 😁 Merry Christmas
I had a 2014 mondeo and the ecu failed because the washer jets leaked, ran down the pipes and dripped on the ecu.. doesn’t help the ecu is near the washer bottle
Aye it's a very stupid design like 🤣
Woah well done mate, after all these months! 💪 Looking forward to your next project
@@lukas0846 Cheers mate!
I'm an English speaking smoggie we are fine, bought a few nice cars from geordies and macums over the years problems start when punters first language isn't
Glad you got it sorted , maybe it’s time to invest in a bit of auto diagnostics plenty of your you tube colleagues out there . Saves firing the parts cannon . Good luck with the next project
Geet up lad, been waiting for this to drop for ages. Glad it’s sorted! Oi f**king oi
@@jonnyward2905 loving the energy! It's a Christmas miracle that it's sorted! Oi fucking oi indeed!
Mate generally, the profit on that is nuts aswel! Something that clean for only 300+ quid. You can’t got wrong with that. What’s the next project?
What model is the xtool diagnostic scanner?
@@Carl_beeHK it's the d8s mate
Looks a nice motor. Well done.
@@robertdnero2217 Cheers mate
Well done - saving it!
@@Amy-p3k-z1w thank you!!!
Glad the gamble paid off for you. £300 bet was quite risky. Could you provide the link for the ECU repairers please?
@@charliecoco2115 www.autotronics.co.uk/ Sorry, I just have pinned them really. Cheers for the heads up. When the diagnostics wouldn't link up, I thought it was the ECU like.
Well done. You stuck in there
@@rickyrall1971 I needed that happy ending for Christmas 🙄😅 Cheers mate 😁
Well done for sticking with it I would have scraped it a long time ago
@@frankashurst210 Cheers mate, I was close... Then remembered, I'm very stubborn! Lol
I bought a 27mm gas bottle spanner for the oil filter. It cost £3.
@@brenglover72 That's a genius find and an absolute steal!
Laser do a nice 1/2 inch drive 27mm shallow socket that fits the oil filter nicely. You also need a shallow 32mm socket for the fuel filter- if its the one at the rear axle. I think on some later face-lift models the fuel filter was where it should be - under the bonnet!
Well done mate 🎉
@@jamieasson5261 thank you! Honestly never thought this car would have a positive ending lol
I know you are probably sick of the sight of it by now but these Mondeo's are amazing cars. Sad to think nothing like this will ever be made again. New cars are terrible.
@@jamesdavis8425 fully agree mate. I had a 2lt petrol Zetec Powershift one years ago which was actually the same colour as this one. It was a great car but I had to spend a grand to get the gearbox repaired and it stung too much lol
@@CurrusOfSalvageI've got a 2.0 Ghia petrol Mondeo with a manual gearbox the same colour as yours. Its a great car
There peak ford what came after was rubbish
Did you send the new battery back in the end just with it not being in the totals
Aye i returned
I do not know about your one but my radio codes in myford handbook have you check it ? Are you going to put the coat safer in your own other
I've got no paperwork for the car mate
Get in lad!! I honestly thought you would have burnt this out by now! Well done for sticking with it.
Ohhh it was tempting!
Sorry for the camera at times, my phone's dying... Santa is bringing me a new one or should i say the profit from this car is 😂 ECU Repair: www.autotronics.co.uk/
@CurrusOfSalvage Hi. You don't have to spend anything to get the radio code all you have to do is download ford radio code generator to your phone then put the radio serial number in and it gives you the code for free. Or download any radio code generator that's free. I've personally used them, although not on a Ford, and they do work.
Mondeo's have a bad thing where the water gets into the passenger headlights and over time the water gets into the wiring and got back to the glove box compartment and where the ecu and other modules site and causes that fault, i always tell people to silicone the headlight where the wire are
Nah it wasn't that mate, the fix is in the video though ;)
I'm watching I'm watching chill your beans
It lives!!!!
