Hi James, before you go to the expense of new clutch on Kia or Hyundai I would suggest checking the clutch damper as the diaphragm often splits. I have an i30 with 130500 miles on it. When the biting point went low, at a friend's suggestion I replaced the damper with a sump plug. Bingo, full pedal travel returned!
Came to your channel from shifting metal,which I enjoy, so will watch your channel, as I've seen you on a few of Joe's vids now. Good luck with your purchases🤞🏻
Great buys all of them James Don’t worry with Golf and history go to your VW dealer with the VIN and they will print it all out for you you don’t get a service book anymore with them my last three haven’t
James I don't know if it really matters but around 13'30" the video jumps from the VW to repeat some of the Kia coverage again, before reverting to the VW.
Hi James. Beautiful Kia and Mazda 2. I think the Sportage is so nice. Everything about this car is very nice 👌. I would like one of these myself, all leather lol. Great video again, James. 👌💯🥰🇮🇪
Not watched it yet but although the end cars are deffo cheaper you've got to watch it as they're usually independent dealers (small traders) putting their cr*p in.
Would never buy an SUV but the work's Sportage was a nice ride. I like small cars. Even the new Mazzy 2 looks grossly oversized now. The Swift video was much appreciated, it's on my list.
What do you use your cars for one shopping bag in the boot. I hate having a small car and finding something I need to transport won't fit in the car. Had to get some roof panels for the shed and picked them up in the mondeo estate also picked up a bed from Swansea. Even got my sons go cart in the boot without even putting the seats down.
Fiat 500 needs a gearbox...😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 A cry that echoes around garages in the UK and around Europe. How is it that Fiat has not fixed the bearing problems. Also applies to KA's
Check the carpet in the rear footwells of the Golf isnt wet/damp, this model is notorious for water leaking in through perished seals in the rear door speakers. VWs definately arent built like they used to be, sadly.
I've put rear subframes into a 2016 and a 2017, rear disc backing plates, rear arms absolutely rotten....pile of crap 😂 They only came in to get rear brakes done.
@@robloxfan4271couldn't imagine not having duel zone climate now. I used to get a lift with a guy that would drive in the winter with the a/c blasting cold air it was like being in a freezer, and my girlfriend always moaning about the temperature. I'm only sad the house doesn't have duel zone climate.
Surprised yu don't know the correct way to check the oil in a car. Never do it with a hot engine, and wipe it over & redip it before taking a level. Oil slops around and can rise up the dipstick even just from a short spin around the block. Other than that, it seems you did okay this time out.
James, if you spend all day at the auction, do you have someone at the unit dealing with customers and taking phone calls. And is it cost effective to just buy one or do you go with the intent of buying 2 or 3 cars each time.
Jimmy why do you do every test backwards, test the oil level, first, the water level second, the transmission level third, then find out if the clutch etc is ok, then drive it, god help me you are a nightmare. Wes
@@ChopsGarageif you want to bid online at Aston barclay on a Tues or Wednesday, I virtually go every week, I'll look at the cars for you, they usually leave the keys on them, if you get on the 75 plus teir fees would be say 200 on your type of stuff, see what they'd quote for delivery, I could wats app you a little video, I think you'd be better at auction as you can pick what suits your stock profile as opposed to going off at a tangent buying anything that's offered to you over there, stuffs deffo cheaper where I am bud, it's just sorting the logistics out.
@@ChopsGarage not at all but even cruising along at 75-80 you should be getting more than 37mpg 😂. Get 37 out of modern Range Rover sports with 3.0 diesels cruising at 80 😂.
I have a 2022 1.5 seat tarraco and if i drive it at 70 is I gey 38.9 on a run I usually get around 33.4 combined Not everything does 50mpg My old 3.0 v6 tdi touareg only gets 20 mpg on a good day Mpg is less important then driving something you actually like and not a shopping trolley (i10/i20) 😂
@@paultossell1455 yes but out of a 2.0 Diesel family wagon you’d expect more than 37 😂. As you say a seat terraco petrol 1.5 wouldn’t expect anywhere near 50.

@@ChopsGarage Fixed now and you can hardly see the join !! : )
@@duncandohnutt8099 🤣🤣🤣
Glad the transport boys looked after you 👍
Hi Chops maybe you could do a Roofbar Raffle with proceeds to a chosen charity
Call it “The Raffbar Roofle” 😂
Pete is so funny😂😂he should have his own channel lol,3 great buys hopefully for retail james👌👍
Hi James. Beautiful Kia and Mazda 2. I think the Sportage is so nice. Everything about this car is very nice 👌. I would like one of these myself, all leather lol. Great video again, James. 👌💯🥰🇮🇪
Good spec on the Golf. Discover Nav, Winter pack (Heated seats, headlight washers and heated washer jets) and Park assist self parking.
It was called the match back in the day I had one
Not watched it yet but although the end cars are deffo cheaper you've got to watch it as they're usually independent dealers (small traders) putting their cr*p in.
James, you got 3 decent auction cars there. You got some cracking stock as always. Great content as always.
Thanks 👍

I think the golf has self parking. Something worth checking Mr Chop.
*Waste of Time - I got it never use it !*
You'll easily sell all 3 of those, especially the Kia. Now we await to see what a fresh MOT throws up! Can't wait until the next installment
Cheers
Looks good mate

I would want danger money to drive the last through the auction block for 5 hours
You landed on your feet 👍
Lol
Three good buys, all look decent motors.👍
Great video James, we used copper grease on the sunroof mechanism, lasted for ages.
Cheers for tip
A great way to create more advert revenue for your uploads. The Golf drive twice.!.
Allows vws start falling apart at 100.000miles
For me I would go for the sportage
Hi James,nice video an great acquisitions from the auction. Clocks in the sportage are blinking,what's wrong with them?.
Nothing , they do that on camera sometimes
Nice one, as always, chops. Cheers.
It's got a tow bar very good for towing a caravan what's a nice spec is also got a CD player you can't beat a Kia Sportage
Have a look at the back end/subframe, brake backing plates, heat shields, rear arms etc.
They'll be a pile of rust at 8 years, wouldn't touch one.
@@markbro4427mine is 11 years old and no advisories for rust. I treat it with Lanoguard every year.
Check the carpet in the rear footwells of the Golf isnt wet/damp, this model is notorious for water leaking in through perished seals in the rear door speakers. VWs definately arent built like they used to be, sadly.
Can't go wrong with a sportage, love my 2017 diesel 1.7.
Good choice

@@markbro4427 name me a make that does not get rusty rear subframes unless you intervene
James for some reason the video jumped back to you driving the Kia round the yard, thought I had gone mad
Yes can't edit tonight unfortunately
Good video James 🚗🚙🚘👍👍👍👏👏👏
Thanks 👍
The Golf is my choice, the Sportage is just another boring SUV 👍
i like both, though shame the golf has no duel zone climate
@@robloxfan4271couldn't imagine not having duel zone climate now.

Keep up the excellent work
good vid
Change key battery
Golf has Park Assist….
Cost option when new
@@danielrussell446 i think it comes standard with this spec

Pretty difficult to do one handed, I'd imagine
@@GryphLane man needs a tripod endorsement? lol. or three hands.
Great video (as always) James .. Great video (as always) James. Stick to selling cars though. You will never make it as a video editor!
I'd one will slip through
Hi james
Don't know if you're aware, but Raffle is not showing you have alive draw for the mercedes?
Not sure why you mean, it's live via the link provided
My mistake. I was looking on the raffle site, not the link.
@@stephenmiddlemiss4589 no worries
As a private buyer I always avoid any vehicle with weed deflectors on the windows. As a dealer would you say I'm being paranoid?
Why? I've got them , means I can crack my window without wind blowing in my car
@@sipepguru I said weed deflectors. Every time I see them on a car a plume of smoke seems to be following it along with a herbaceous smell.
Sorry, I didn't read it properly
As always Chops 👍👍👍👍👍👍
James, if you spend all day at the auction, do you have someone at the unit dealing with customers and taking phone calls.
And is it cost effective to just buy one or do you go with the intent of buying 2 or 3 cars each time.
No and No to be honest mate. If I do Auctions as a rule I go online as if I won nothing on a visit it would be completely wasted day
Great looking women follow you and comment James😳
Fanny magnet
Bust lol
Lol
Jimmy why do you do every test backwards, test the oil level, first, the water level second, the transmission level third, then find out if the clutch etc is ok, then drive it, god help me you are a nightmare. Wes
Transmission level 🤣🤣
First like for this video 😅
Cheers
Great buys!
when chops decides a fiat 500 is too much aggro is it time to stop watching ?
Lol fair play
Done well bud, shame the auction is so far away.
Curse of being a Devon boy hey, and people wonder why cars are more here, its bloody £400 to get them from anywhere

look like good cars but 37.1mpg from that sportage after all them miles on the motorway is abysmal. what do thye do going round town lol
Why do you think a driver on fixed rate for journey did on motorway, 50mph lol
@@ChopsGarage not at all but even cruising along at 75-80 you should be getting more than 37mpg 😂. Get 37 out of modern Range Rover sports with 3.0 diesels cruising at 80 😂.
Even a corsa 1.2 is terrible on fuel ! Picked up a 2015 that averaged 32 mpg in its life !
All 4x4 use more than a 2wd counterpart
I have a 2022 1.5 seat tarraco and if i drive it at 70 is I gey 38.9 on a run
I usually get around 33.4 combined
