I bought this abandoned Lamborghini Murcielago with a gated manual gearbox from a track experience company for £100,000. The car was taken off the track 7 years ago for an issue with the engine. A mechanic attempted to rebuild it but when he put it back together it wouldn't turn over. As i have stripped apart the v12 engine ive found many surprises and it doesn't just stop there Lamborghini have been using alot of parts from different manufactures to build this car and if i can work them all out its going to save me alot of money!

Thanks so much for 1 Million Subscribers 😅 absolutely crazy so many people watching the channel only gives me more motivation to push the content and myself to the next level! Stay tuned for the biggest risk yet next video 😂🤞🤞
Your welcome
Mint I love this crazy channel it just get crazier with this Ford Lamborghini fiat Volvo Audi , now I know why a Lamborghini s expensive…… your buying all the cars to build it 😂
Mat Clean out the oil tank and lines the chap put sand in tank .
I just subscribed yesterday. I possibly might have made you make that mark 😜
Bro you deserve it, keep grinding!!!
Nothing else better than watching matt Armstrong rebuilds on a sunday
Nothing?
Doing cocaine off a hooker's ass
When I get a notification I put the kettle on every time!!
Agree
Big facts 😂❤
This is finally starting to come together. Can't wait to hear it run for the first time.
Hey Matt, I'd be happy to have a look at that instrument cluster if you'd like. Can't guarantee anything but I'd give it a try.
That would be awesome!! ill drop you an email!
@@MatArmstrongbmx Perfect!
@@Tronicsfix I follow you both TronixFix and Mat. When I watched this I thought that the perfect job for TronixFix. And I saw this in the comments. Looking forward to see the video and see if you can repair the instrument panel. Best of luck.
@@tomas0ft Thanks! Appreciate that.
@@Tronicsfix i also would love to watch this video if u decide to do one i watch your videos and fixed loads of consoles thanks to yourself
Hi Matt, I hope you manage to read this among all the thousands of responses. You really need to fill the oil pump with oil to prime it otherwise you could end up with a ruined set of bearings and hence a ruined engine. At the very least you need to turn the engine over with the starter with the plugs out to generate oil pressure. It doesn't need to be in the car to do this but without the pump being primed it's far from ideal. The other thing is, you need to remove the nyloc nuts you've fitted and replace them with plain nuts and new flat washers torqued to the correct spec and use a dab of removable Loctite. If you leave the nylocs on, the heat from the engine will probably melt the nylon and at the very least it will soften it to the point where the nuts will come loose. I know its reworking the build but its not optional.
Would there be anything missing between the housing and the cogs? I wouldn't imaging the surfaces of a moving part and the housing would be mating like he has installed it.
@@DanHomeAtLast It looks to be assembled correctly. The tolerances need to be as close as possible to generate suction. Any gap between the impellers and the side plates will reduce efficiency. The shafts will keep them in place and the oil it's pumping will keep it lubricated.
^ This please read @matarmstrong ^
Did he do this?
Those are the original nuts that Lamborghini uses, they are not typical Nylock type, they are intended to run at high temperature. Whether they should be reused after a rebuild is debatable, I suppose. I agree with your comments about priming the pump with oil though.
My brothers and I lost my Dad recently so watching you take on all these projects with yours is amazing!! Cherish this time and don't take it for granted. Love your channel and content. Cheers from Canada!!
You're in my prayers ❤️
I was thinking the same.
Sorry to hear fella. Sending love x
Jonathan God bless your heart bro stay up man your father is proud of the brothers he’s given to the world, May god rest his soul in peace ⭐️✝️
Losing a parent is difficult at best at worst a nightmire. I have been there My self a couple of years ago, Hope the Best for you and yours.
I lost my dad 6 months ago to cancer. Very cool to see your dad and you getting to do this together. Brings back memories of when we did. 🤘
Sorry to hear this, be strong ❤️
Sorry to hear this. ❤
Always try and make the most of the small amount of time we have. Never know what’s round the corner! Chin up 👊🏼
right in the feels, I lost my dad in 2021, can't believe it's been over a year, we worked on a lot together and were always close but looking back I wish I'd worked with him more and learnt more from him, lessons for all those who still can!
Also lessons to pass onto your dads, I mentioned back in 2020 it'd be nice if he could write down some of the interesting things from his life he didn't talk much about, his childhood, school, things he got up to as a kid, places he remembered (we had a great trip down memory lane using google street view to his father's farther's family business) He finally started in his last week, he wanted to write about all the projects he'd done at the farm I grew up with pictures etc and did a good stint but was so tired, luckily in a way, he called for my help one day as he was struggling with editing the document, I drove round and showed him how and he finished that bit then went to lay down, he passed away within the hour while I was out finishing another project for him 💔
@@trif55 I don’t know too much about other cultures or identities but from my experience as a (fairly) average British man, I don’t tell the people closest to me how much they mean anywhere near often enough. It seems like there’s a stigma that it shows weakness when in reality it’s the complete opposite! There’s not much we can control in this world, but this is something we can change to make our lives better! Regret is a terrible thing, I’m glad you had your chance to have that little moment together before he passed 🙏🏼 ❤️
Mat, I'm a 48 year old married Mom of 2 boys and do not follow anyone even remotely like your channel on RUclips....I came across your videos about 8 months ago & I've been hooked ever since. On the surface, it would seem as if we don't have anything in common, but at the heart of it, your passion, your love for what you do, your kindness and willing to learn is just inspirational. I look forward to your videos and appreciate your hard work and dedication to rebuilding cars. Thank you for bringing so many people joy and for giving back to your community. You are appreciated! Sending you Hannah & Kevin much love from the US. 💕
Hey Mat,
Two things with those Volvo throttle bodies:
1) the throttle position sensor tends to fail but can be replaced with a more modern hall sensor setup (there are a number of places that do that work, I used XemodeX in Canada to do mine)
2) you will definitely need to reprogram them for the specific Lamborghini engine spec so it matches with the ECU. On even on different Volvos those throttle bodies aren't interchangeable. You might be able to find a shop that can hopefully pull the program off of your original Lamborghini one (if it's not completely dead!) and transfer it to the Volvo ones.
Best of luck with the continued rebuild!
yeah u r right, that is exactly what I wanted to add - Magneti Marelli TBs are so much pain in the neck in Volvos, spent hours on swapping them and learning how to code them to the car properly.
+1 be careful with this thing, better to get them rebuilt before install
There are places in the UK that will fit the contactless magnet sensor, but given how easy and cheap it is, why bother? Agree coding may (not necessarily will) be required to the car. With Volvos, you had a 50/50 chance a scrap yard replacement would have the same code.
I'm only a few minutes into this but when you said rebuilding with your dad it just made me so happy. Great memories to cherish Matt. Congrats on your success it's well earned. Peace
Just goes to show that this still goes on. Many, many moons ago we discovered the starter motor on a certain Rolls Royce was the same as the one as on a Ford Cortina. It was supposed to have been tested to an aviation spec but when we spoke to the manufacturers they said ALL the specs were to that standard even in the Cortina.
Price difference in the late 70s was £38 versus £800+
These are expensive prices for labels!!!
Keep researching Mat. You're doing a fine job.
I absolutely
I love how matt explains exactly what his doing so we understand what's going on
This is my favorite thing about Matt and his pages. He explains what he's doing and doesn't beat around the bush about things.
I love how he is proving how these Italian cars are intricate rip offs. This is coming from an Italian gear head.
Yeah how Lamborghini is all fluffed up fake bullox
I love the checking the part numbers and finding out they are generic to other cars. It does make you think you are just paying for a name sometimes. Amazing stuff Mat
Wouldn't surprise me if he gets a letter from a Lambo solicitor soon.
Why? Lambo are doing the same thing
always has been
could lambo have made specific modifications to the throttle body and that's why their own part number sticker is on there?
@@DanielMustang47 no chance
I’m late to this series but I have to comment how much I love seeing your dad help out. I grew up helping my dad in the garage working on his 1970 Chevelle. Fun memories. And your dad seems to know his way around an engine very well!
Huge congratulations on the 1 million buddy wish you all the best 😁
I can't help but wonder if this was on TV 10 years ago how well it would have done.
It's so watchable, and consistently so.
We're all looking forward to hearing this fire up and running, Mat! Keep on going 👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Agreed. If topgear go for a new host it needs to be someone like Mat
It should be on tv - period.
Matt your dad is the real deal what a combo you both make. I can’t wait for the engine to be finished. Keep the videos coming
Your enthusiasm towards your work is absolutely amazing. I think I've watched every single video you have brought out & never get bored of watching the way you transform these cars. Nearly a million subs now which is amazing. Keep those videos coming. Can't wait to see the 1st turn of the key on this Lambo.
I’ll say it again, so awesome to see you working on this with your dad! Wish I could do stuff like this with my dad, sadly he lives a few hundred miles away.
This is exactly what I needed this evening!! I'm so excited to see it getting better and better every time!! Keep it up Matt
I love that Mat has his father there every step of the way. What a fantastic relationship! Best of luck to you and your Murcielago build!
You gotta love this guy. So much positive energy!
Love the channel. Love the Merci restoration.
But maybe the best is seeing you do it with your Dad. I'm jealous and proud of you and your Dad at the same time.
Fathers want nothing more than to share their passions with their sons.
Sons want nothing more than to share their passions with their Dads.
You are both an inspiration to fathers and sons everywhere!😁😁😁
Mine doesn't... he lives 10 minute away and in the 20 years I have lived in my home, he's been here twice.
@@indetrucks Every family is different. Every father/son relationship is different. Your dad lives 10 minutes away from you. That means you live 10 minutes away from him. Hopefully you have been to see him more often. Forgiveness and compassion start in our own heart. The ones who benefit the most are ourselves. My mother used to say ‘God blesses the peacemakers.’ I am still working on that myself.
God bless you and all your family🌞
The Murcielago engine is slowly coming back to life, & it's good to see your Dad helping out with this part of the rebuild......something to look back in with pride.
The 'rebuilt/reconditioned' oil pump is a wonderful effort & a major step forward to getting the engine working once again. Keep up the great work & don't keep us waiting too long for the next episode! 👍
I really appreciate the fact that he explains it in a way that even people who have never disassembled their TV remote to understand "what and why" in a car engine.
Dude. I had had my fingers crossed so hard at 7min for that light up... I could feel the pain in your eyes.. Top work by the way.. Keep at it man. 👍
You’re the only RUclipsr for which I press the like button without actually having seen it yet, you just know it’s quality!
🙌🙌🙌
I can second you on this!! 💪🏼
I was going to say, the way that you sealed the oil pump up with the sealant had gaps in in and may cause a leak but as it’s in the engine anyway it should be ok unless the oil pressure is compromised. The chain cover sealant is the same😢 the sealant should be the other side of the bolt holes to prevent leaks through the holes. I really hope it’s ok. This has been an epic build and can’t wait to see it finished
Just watched all 7 parts back to back I got hooked lol. Can't wait to see it running
Mat shows how expensive car manufacturers are using generic components found in cheaper car models. Mat is a real deal! Taught me how to save money by rebuilding, accident damage expensive cars.
It's really emotional to see father and son work together. You will have this memory for the rest of your life. Absolutely amazing 🙌🏻
Such a complex peace of engineering that engine, it's scary, amazes me how much research and effort Matt puts into these videos, explains things so well, excellent on screen graphics too. Also love how with a bit of research on part numbers, can save an absolute fortune too... Looking fwd to seeing this one built and working, would love to turn the key on it too, only living down the road in Charnwood is handy to, keep up the great work Matt, love all videos and content 👏👏👍👍
Mat, you blow my mind!!!!
This is so incredibly interesting and such an unexpectedly ridiculous deep dive into engine rebuilding…but in SUCH a relaxed, calm, almost jovial manner!!!!
It’s amazing Mat… what you do is absolutely incredible! You and the crew (Hanna, Chris, Liam, your Dad, Mallory) are so eff’in cool!!!!
Please continue to create and offer such brilliant content… thank you so much for what you and your team do!
✌️❤️ x
Just found you- how is this not 4 million views for this whole Lamborghini build per video… from America this is absolute gold
Such a great build series. So nice to be able to spend that time with your father. Cherish that bro💫
I think my favorite part about this channel is seeing the visible excitement behind this rebuild. Love your content bro
Makes you wonder how much it would cost to build one from scratch, since most of it isnt even Lamborghini parts. Brilliant video as always, keep um coming
This is what tavarish videos were like. It's crazy to think of this channel. Came out of nowhere and has filled that gap for auto content t we have been missing for over two years.
All I'm for it!
Matt- early congrats on 1 million, i see its coming any day now mate.
Mat, with all the shit and negativity going on at the moment in the world, watching these videos, watching your enthusiasm, watching you work with your dad and letting us be a part of this journey with you just radiates your positivity, I wait for these videos like I used to wait for top gear all those years ago, thanks for sharing and keep it up pal, all the best.
Your Dads an absolute Legend!
Would love more content with you and your Dad you make such a great team! 😁
Great work guys!
My fave RUclips series. So eager to see it finally started!
It's so good to see some positive progress. Love that your dad's involved, too.
Love how the channel is so successful that none of these cars are in any of ours reach, yet mat makes it feel relatable. That’s entertainment at its best, great host and a phenomenal channel. Honestly can’t wait to see this finished.
Mat, tes vidéos sont une tuerie ! Je ne rate pas une miette de tes explications et savoure le parcours que tu as. Bravo à toi et longue vie à ta chaîne. Thanks to be so kind and so cool 😎. You8the best !👍
Its probably been mentioned already, but you can buy key steel quite cheap in long lengths. Simply cut oversize and round the rads on the ends until it fits snug! Doesn’t have to be perfect, once they’re in they’re in!
BOSS. Love how you show how you found the differences using part numbers and savvy internet investigation skills to save as much as 90%+ on identical items just not labeled "Lamborghini."
Keep them coming Mat
Making us all proud
Much love from South Africa brother!
Also from South Africa
Same here, also doing some things locally.

Every Episode of this series feels like wathcing a movie, keep it up Mat
Will there be a UK Dash Cam episode tonight mate?
It honestly amazes me that Mat isn’t at a million yet, the content he provides us all with is worthy of way more then what he has
He is 2k or less away now 🎉🎉
@@bennickolls2738 now he's there!
Great job ! Love the porsche i haven't had a dad .. it's so nice to see you and your dad on this epic journey cherish every minute.
Matt, you have saved people so much money by all of your research bud. So fantastic! You are a hero dude, amazing work and such great vlogs.
It’s crazy how you figure out how to be so precise in everything. Almost 1 million man. So happy to see you get the growth you deserve
Precious 💀💀
Great project! I’m watching your videos from NYC🇺🇸 and from the Caribbean, Dominican Republic 🇩🇴
the amount of joy and smiles you bring is immeasurable - really, thank you.
Mat you probably already know how much we’re all pulling for you but I just wanted to remind you and also tell you how happy we are for all of your success.
Mat amazing video as allways.
I emailed you over a good right up about the volvo throttle bodys and replacing the key failed component in them. Unfortunately they don't seem to be a straightforward swap but the attachment I sent you has all the info you need.
Sent it to the email on your website.
Look forward to more amazing videos
I love what you're doing and your wholesome attitude. Been binge watching your videos for hours now. But I gotta say, for me your dad is real MVP here. For whatever reason I always love it, when he enters the frame.
Much love from Germany. Keep doing what you're doing. Best regards to you, and the rest of your family.
I’m not a massive lambo fan (post 2000 anyway), but this is genuinely the best rebuild video I’ve seen! The explanation of TDC and also the simplicity of todays world in that you should always ask google just makes me so happy!
This is brilliant Mat and co!
I’m also starting the Aston vids from the AM inspection one back… such great content!
Why does everything have to be recorded and uploaded to the internet? This is why! If this was on Netflix or Amazon etc, I’d happily pay to subscribe.
You are great at what you do young man.
(I’m normally a Jago Hazzard / Geoff Marshall type of viewer… 🤫)
Your Dad seems like a great guy! Would love to see (and hear) more of him on the channel
Massive progress Matt, you and your dad are doing the impossible. Well played pal 👊🏻👊🏻
Getting home after a night shift and watching this.. the amount of progress has made my morning !! Brilliant
Congratulations Mat for hitting 1 million subscribers!!! 👍
I know it's been said on every video, but the audacity to sell you that car for 100k in that condition is outrageous. I really hope they offer you some money back somehow, as its daylight robbery, really. Well done for keeping optimistic through all of the setbacks, but it's always in the back of mind watching these, what con artist sold it to you.
Loving the logical approach to the engine build ! Great build so far . Overpricing on Audi and volvo bits is shocking !. Looking forward to start up !
1 million subscribers massive congrats Mat! What a way to start 2023! 🥳🎉
GREAT WORK MAT!! Small tip on the dial gauge, cut a piece of metal sheet say A6 paper size, drill a small hole for a bolt to fit, loosen one of the cam caps bolts. place that flat piece of metal onto the cam cap, screw back the bolt. Then you'll have a flat metal surface for the dial gauge to be attached on.
Matt, your super positive attitude and thrift shop ventures make these videos super enjoyable, keep up the good work
Thrift shop? Dude, he spunked a hundred grand, in readies, for that heap of thrashed-to-death shit. That ain't thrift-shop ventures in anybody's language.
Lambo cig tray lid attached with chewing gum to an Audi part, thrift shop all the way in my books and fair play to him for doing it
🏁🏁🏁🏁🏁Love the process this project is crazy insane …It’s going to be a wonderful day to hear 👂 that glorious V12 roar to life 😎🤙🏾
love your enthusiasm Mat, dispite all the setbacks you seem like a very happy chap..... keep it up
Fantastic explanation of true TDC. As well as sourcing parts that are exactly the same on other family run cars. The ashtray savings was so funny.
Mat, you are a true inspiration. Your determination and positivity is so appreciated. Dreams can come true when you put that much passion and hard work together. And you are giving us the inside look at it all. Thank you 🙏
I'd be looking at some of the ECU's, or check the output to the connector for the dash for voltage. There's been so much work done to it you would at least expect there to be some lights by now. Other than that, its good to see some progress there! Well done!
I am wondering if they have checked the pins on the connector for power? The board may not be the issue and I'd be trying to test a known board at this point.
I don't know shit about car motors but I have never wanted to see an engine fire up this bad in my life. So good to see you and your old man having a laugh and spending quality time together.
OMG! Did not expect the oil pump to get done! What an awesome surprise! The video had some really good energy! Thanks Mat!
As always another awesome video. I love the way you find all the parts from other cars and expose the stupid prices charged for same part.
Someone should do a compilation of all occasions of this in all his builds, it would be hilarious.
@@martinhammarlund3975 I totally agree with you and put big car companies to shame.
Congrats 1 million subs mat 🎉🎉🎉👏🍾🥂🙌🎊🎉
Watching you and your dad puts a smile on my face every episode. Great job Mat !!!!! Can't wait to hear the engine running!!!!🏎
I, as many have said, really enjoy watching your videos and seeing your Dad helping out as well. I grew up around Austin Healey's and old Jag's that my father was helping people fix/rebuild. We always seemed to have an engine sitting on a stand in our garage. He wasn't a mechanic either, he learned because of his passion for cars and bikes. When he passed a few years ago, I had to put his Harley back together (as he hd pulled it apart). I loved every minute of it. There's just something to love about learning by doing. My son is a lot like my father and wants to buy a project car. Maybe I will.
All that said, if you need someone to turn that key for the first time, I would love to be there and to shake you and your Dad's hands. Well done Mat.
Great work. I guess the mystery question is...if the head bolts are on so tight how did the original mechanic get them off??
Fairly certain either they wrote the engine off at the time or was meant to be put back together at a later date and the mechanic loosely put it back together.
Good Job Mat, Love watching your step by step videos of this build 🔥🔥🔥
YOU JUST MADE ME CRY 😣
I understand you are learning but please any metal on metal components must be lubricated - you just put that oil pump together dry!! Generally you would even put a little light grease or vasaline on the pump gears before assembly so the pump quickly primes from dry and empty of oil. You had there all you needed to prime and test the pressure and scavenge side of the pump. Simply bolt it in with pickups then with the chain off introduce oil to the pickups & feed and spin the pump with a socket on the sprocket bolt - you won't need to spin it fast (just by hand)
You will at least know it works and you have assembled the pressure relief correctly.
Another tip is put a bead of sealer on a flat surface and press a piece of glass on it - you will soon understand how little and carefully you need to apply sealer without it all getting into the oil and blocking feeds and galleries 😉
Without experience everyone should at least know to keep everything meticulously clean and in the exact position parts were removed from also - I'll cut you some slack on that point as some real moron had previously been in that pump /Engine.
Good luck with the rebuild anyway 👍
Mat, I swear, you had my ''like'' at ''It sucks like a Dyson''. LOL But please, never stop making these vids ! So much details and we're having fun with you !
thank u for this bruh. gives me soo much motivation this is my dream car. i cant wait till i find one to fix... much blessings Mat
Have you got a hundred grand in readies waiting to spunk on one?
@@waynegoldpig2220 yes but in the states they a little bit more lol figured ill try to start off smaller first.
Love the videos Matt! Has given me the inspiration to buy my first crash damaged car!
What car have you chosen bud
BMW 1 Series - CAT N
Good luck bro

lol the sneaky adamlz porsche insert. its all making sense now. moving fwd ill watch your videos and take notes for possible easter eggs. thanks for sharing this with us brother! keep it up!
What a great post. Possibly the best ever and they are always entertaining. Good luck with it Mat, superb again.
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS VIDEO FOR A GOD DAMN LONG TIME MATT! ABSOLUTELY LOVE YOUR VIDS CAN'T BELIVE YOU CAN MAKE OUR DAYS BETTER AND CONTINUE YOUR PASSION JUST BY POSTING SOME VIDEOS ON RUclips ❤
Learning lots. Fiercely kindling dreams for owning a trailblazing garage one day! Keep up the good work Matt. Watching every upload from East Africa!
Loving the footage Mat, can't believe out of all your viewers that none has not rebuilt an oil pump for this engine. Keep going.
Congrats on the 1 million 🎉🎉🏁🔥🔥
1,000,000 subs, well done Matt 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
Hi Matt, little suggestion: polish-off the paint on the raised ‘Lamborghini’ lettering on the rocker covers. It’s a bit arty-pharty but i think it’ll be a nice finishing touch. It’s something I’ve done myself in the past when I’ve done covers on my own cars. I actually used to use a cotton wool bud to ‘paint’ Vaseline onto the parts I didn’t want the paint to stick, as the paint won’t cure over it. Then when they were dry you could just wipe off the paint from those areas. I use to use that VHT Wrinkle Plus paint which gives a great textured finish.
Fantastic to finally see that oil pump go on and the rest of the engine rebuild. Bloody brilliant and I’m sure that dash cluster will get sorted. A million subscribers before the next video me thinks.
Can’t recall the last time I watched a channel explode like this! But greatly deserved. Not long now to 1 million!
Been watching this build from the start. Really makes me miss wrenching with my dad. Can always learn so much from them. Embrace it while you got him around! ❤ it’s so crazy how a sticker adds thousands to the price of parts. Keep up the good work.
So we can officially conclude that Lamborghini is ripping of their customers left, right and center.
If you could find the chap who tried to repair the engine, I think he should be the one to start the engine for the first time. Awesome videos!
