FIXING A $300,000 FAULT ON MY MCLAREN 720s

[Laughter] this week has been nonstop you guys would have seen last Sunday GTR video went up and then from Monday all the way through to today Friday we have been working on the aurus we wanted to get this video out for the Sunday which means I've got to edit Saturday and Sunday and the car's still in this state it's not finished yet but we're going gravity this weekend so we're going to get crazy crazy behind here's a plan tomorrow hopefully for a first drive hopefully it goes well then tomorrow morning we're going to head to gravit me Matt Liam and my dad I don't know what it's going to be like let's go to tomorrow morning and we are did I spin that way maybe that way and we're here got a few builds going on in the garden which you're going to see in separate videos especially the garage build choice of car today is the GTR it's wet this is four-wheel drive the clutch is going on it but I'm just going to make good use of it and drive it until it about goes McLaren has a problem which we'll get on to it's a small problem I think we hope uh but that's staying here for now today the GTR is getting used I never thought I'd like this car as much as what I do start this bad boy up yes and look at that no lights on the dash anymore what a car this is and it's so comfortable in here all the gobbins and I can actually play music through uh USB in this car hello everyone now we're here um and the queue is ginormous definitely we've literally been here 5 minutes and it's already going crazy we got the guys from will Mania hello Jordan hello hello Seb hello Bob and we got all the wheels from all of Matt's cars on show so Liam here's the game what wheel is that from RS6 that one McLaren that one goo good you three out of three so far this one that one hasn't been on any of his cars good answer I know being VI yes and what's the final boss all right good work full marks here's Matt and it starts here with everyone let's go find the end and this is the end of the C that's a mission that's ins you can't even see now we got to get back on the aurus so what we're going to do we still got this queue so we're going to try and get a selfie with everyone we're just going to do the run and go as fast as we can here we [Music] go and now we're back at the unit after being at gravity until about 3ish it was absolutely mental it's still cues now look at the state of this unit it is so oh my God but the main goal is to finish this video off Han is next door she's going to see the aurus for the first time since you've been since we've been working on it with all the front end on and hopefully she's going to drive it for the first time so we're going to film that for the main Channel and I got to go back edit it before doing it all again tomorrow let's go so I managed to get the video edited for the aurus got that out we went to gravit we went there we met everyone we released new merch which is only available at gravity but there is some new merch and we're probably going to release it in this video in the next clip I might be wearing that t-shirt not not this one but the next one but now it is depressing me seeing this car still like this the rollsroyce has now come out of the paint shop and we're building that up that's going to be the next main Channel video so there's probably going to be we're going to miss a week on the main Channel video because we want to film a big video on the Rolls-Royce rather than two small videos just do one big video rather two small cuz we think that's cooler but now we need to get this ready for paint so to get it ready for paint we need to fully strip this car to pieces like door cards off glass out everything and me and Liam are going to do that now also one thing I wanted to do is take off this tint which obviously I never had I no I bought the car like it oh yeah bought the car like it came Factory I really want to do it because the whole reason when we're building all this car back up it's going to be like proper race car setup like it's going to have like a decent suspension setup with the nitron it's going to have a decent wheel setup and I would like to be able to see out of it and whoever did this is an idiot because they can't see out of it at night but I've been scared to take it off cuz if you've ever took tint off um a car which has had tint on for a long time it sometimes leaves a lot of a I On It Liam's like amazing at doing it yeah was it the police that took yours off mine's got put on it since I've had a crash know it wasn't on the night of Crash yeah yeah I remember someone just came and done it overnight whoever done this done it really well well this has been on for years no it's not oh soorry oh oh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah it's only been on a few hours just a couple of weeks someone come in overnight and put this tin on right I'm doing it all the adhesives coming off [Music] wow it doesn't look as cool I will admit but at least we at least we're safe this is childish there we go someone's put them on here as well like since last night now this screen is really sticky but we'll let someone else liks cleaning them Jimmy B Jimmy B loves it we'll get this screen out when we paint it so when that comes out we'll get them to give it a good polish short and we get his door card off good news about this and I give you a little insight into the main Channel video these ain't going back on cuz race car it's going to be some proper mad improvements going on is it going to be lightweight it's going to be lightweight and it's going to look insane at one point with this car I was thinking oh I should keep it kind of original but OEM plus but with turbos on the back and then like at this point now after putting it in a ditch it shouldn't really matter should it I think race car race car we've got an exhaust to make that exhaust is a bit bent I don't think that looks too bad to be honest with you looks fine that's long is it there we go two of them out one more over look at this one stupid one it's like Lamborghini just went oh there we just W one extra one there just random and make it a smaller size to the others when Matt does the second Channel bolts coming out he just goes done look at that stupid oh don't lose it we need that oh elegant yay door card off that's probably thousands of pound the goal here is just to get the glass out cuz that's what they'll need so this is the window motor is the window going to drop no be absolutely fine you reckon yeah you all right I am Matt's going going to kill you you know why cuz it's one long clip yeah but you have to film everything there we go wow okay the doors need strip got seal off the top out it comes yes don't think that is repairable but it's probably somewhere inside of that that you can fix and the glass is okay the actual mirror is okay but yeah I'm going to say that's not repairable this door is pretty much stripped apart from the door lock here's the door lock and that was somehow connected to the door rle okay at least the door locks off we've succeeded putting it back on again don't know great news successfully stripped door this is like a night shift is it it is what time is it 12 oh every time we film second Channel videos it's always always late shift and if we don't finish late on the main Channel then we just finish late on the second Channel we're going to do Liam side and then actually let's go to the McLaren and I'll show you the issue with the McLaren here is the McLaren you might notice the problem number one already parked it and the sun was like absolutely cooking down on the bumper and one of the parking sensors has fell through I think the glue on the back has fell off so we've got to fix that which means probably bumper off this hasn't been in the ramp since we rebuilt it anyway so it could do with a check over but the main issue is of course an electrical fault open it up when we start it what are you going to give me today traction control ABS engine management ESC fault limp mode vehicle speed fault fuel level low cruise control fault service reminder and we think this is all to do with one issue and it's so funny as well look at this if I put it in drive it thinks I'm going 9 miles an hour and I'm stopped best part about it is when you close the door the car thinks it's moving door release confirmation required vehicle speed too high I'm Stood Still and I can't get out and then you have to double press it it wouldn't let me open the door when I was stopped because it thinks I was traveling at 9 mph so I literally had to pull the emergency the emergency puller down there to open the door because it thinks I was traveling at 9 mph what are you pinging at there's a lot of problems going on and we think it we think we know what it is well I hope I do but I've got to get in the ram to do it and also looks like it needs fuel as well so we're going to go to the unit in limp mode so you all know the problem every light on the dashboard thinks we're doing 9 M hour don't let us open the doors when we stop because it thinks we're traveling at 9 M hour it also won't lock because it thinks we're traveling at 9 mph when we stopped McLaren doing McLaren things to top that any diagnostic tool that I try and use on the car will not read the car so I can't tell what is going wrong so we're using own mechanical knowledge the only thing that does work slightly is the Carly device and I'll show you that later when hopefully we can scan the codes and finish it but drip too cold how's the song go I have not got a clue drip too cold don't stand Too Close yeah drip too cold don't stand too close around get drowned off this wave look at the new drip hard work beats Talent the link is in the description for these new website just dropped it is supplied by Hera as well which you've seen me wear a lot of the time as well so the quality is Sensational much better quality than the electrics on this car and uh yeah you can grab some it's only limited edition drops ain't that right 300 units 300 units that's it that's it gone that's like 10% of the people that are going to watch this video we'd hope for a bit more than that but oh yeah like 3% no it's like 0 yeah maybe we've got a front ABS sensor and a rear ABS sensor the reason I think it's this is because the only thing which tells you the car how fast it's going are wheel speed sensors which are also the ABS sensors and that's why we have abs F ESC fault and vehicle speed fault because the only thing telling it is one of these so on each corner is an ABS sensor and it will tell the computer how fast each wheel is going very rare for more than one to have gone this car's only done 4,000 miles but the ABS sensor on this back left wheel there's a lot more than that cuz I got it second hand oh I reckon it's this back left one we've got no diagnostic tool to tell us else we would just be able to plug it in tellers so I reckon we just go straight in change that back left ABS sensor and we see what the hell this m is saying straight confidence yeah I reckon straight confidence and then the parking sensor is a whole another problem but we'll get to that the best part about this car the wheels best part are you missing a n yeah missing oh and I was nearly missing another one what uh talk specs are these ft what's that stand for freakily tight funny tight family tight fantastically tight yeah fantastically tight wheel boy you going to hold the wheel you drop it on the carbon disc Matt's paying for it yeah Matt's paying for it please don't drop it on the carbon disc yes nice work saved you there Matt thanks mate appreciate it okay but where's the ABS sensor is it this one looks like this one to me if it was unplugged oh my God it'd be amazing what we should do is just go check all four corners and make sure each one looks plugged in should we going to do that first looks good this side coming this side so it's in yeah I can see the wheel speed sensor inside the thing there plugged in at the top let's go to the back uh wheel speed sensor is there it's all plugged in right unplug bolts coming out first oh there was a lot of sand on that ABS sensor so there was a lot of sand on this don't know why but there could be a lot of sand on all of them maybe might not one that's the problem be all four but do you know like normally with an ABS sensor what happens is you can normally clear the fult and as soon as you drive the car the fault will appear again because as soon as it the wheels are spinning three wheels will be telling you oh I'm doing 5 mph and one wheel will be like I'm doing no no a million so but with this fault it's as soon as you get in the car it tells me it's on so it's like it's almost like it's not plugged in or there's something electrically wrong with it so odds on it is this one how much 30 quid each but it would have cost you like 300 Grand if you enter McLaren cuz you walk in 10 grand they look at the car 10 grand they plug in the diagnostical 10 grand eventually 300 Grand let's install it that's tight okay plugging it in I'm not going to replace this clip just yet I'm just going to let it hover because we might be using this on another side yet I'm going to hold it just there for now and see see how this behaves if this works just off the bat but we know what m is like you have to disconnect the battery turn around R1 L2 up down left right up down left right to do the cheat code to actually make it work but let's see if it's going to do the fault as soon as I start it oh here we go it's opening up oh that's not a good sign that's not a good sign parking system fault okay that could just be the parking sensor that vpin again is not good news ESC fault limp home okay so my butt left might not have been good but just for safe that I'm going to plug in and I can cancel the codes with the Carly thing this is the only thing that literally talks to it well to an extent we got a fault for p0500 which is vehicle speed sensor so we know that it's a vehicle speed it's just a shame it doesn't tell us which one it is if it's three vehicle speed sensors that are the problem the sand all over them no way three go at the same time right I've cleared the fault should we try the full sleep technique then we then we'll plug that one back in then we're going to have to try that bat left then we've done both both we've done bat left and bat right left back left right left yeah right let's let it fall asleep you know what I've thought as well it wouldn't be that the dir because the fact that flags up a fault straight the way the car wouldn't know they're dirty until the wheel starts moving so it's like an electrical fault your sensor wouldn't know it was dirt until it starts moving because it doesn't get a signal until the wheel starts turning right oh there is some damage to this plunk CU there's damage here the seal might be damaged so could water could have got in there and perished the sensor looks okay down there I'm going to put that one on this one out it comes no obvious signs of perishment what would be really nice if we just saw one which was just ripped apart we be like Ah that's the one but this at the minute playing guessing games I'm going to put the new one on this side now then press the car on and see if it just clears the fault and we're going to have to do that four times and if it doesn't clear the fault there's something else going on it might have to go to m that means 300 Grand new one going in see if that works I don't feel like the this has worked I I'm worried now the problems further up the wires there could be now I'm thinking of the wires sat on the exhaust and burnt through which is not not good not good we don't want a beep in we don't want a bomb there a b let's see what it's for though ESC fault vehicle limp home now will the ESC not come off unless we drive it which would be very very annoying let's go to the front right I'm going to throw this car straight off like it's just not going to know what's hit it now cuz it's going to get a 10 mil straight to the battery the battery's getting disconnected then when it starts up it shouldn't know any different it just be like whoa everything is fine I'm a good car right I just connected oh very dirty but like I don't think if it was dirty it' bring a fult up straight the way should we unplug it it's very dirty the only other thing I can think it would be in is like a sensor on the gearbox which senses the speed of the gearbox is spinning that would be terrible if it's that it would be terrible cuz it's like you only have to take out off the engine to get to it that could be 300 Grand job it's only done 4,000 mil since brand new so the chance of it being a sensor on the gearbox is low right that's plugged in there I reckon this has done it confident some of it just hit me just then and it and it was like that's done it Matt I was like what no way and then I was like yes way so I reckon I reckon that's done it I've just got that feeling yeah it's done it I know it I know it before we even start it it's done it I I can't believe it's done it I can't know even can I like the McLaren God has just come down and said to me m that did it thanks for that I needed that thanks that's crazy that that's happened look here we go connect the battery back up back cup there we go it was a bong here we go still got the fault I'm on a website which tells me what all the fault codes are for McLaren's how many pages are there there's only like 400 Pages no 2,429 entries what vehicle speed sensor measure cause vehicle speed control unit is there a separate sensor for a vehicle speed sensor it's just oh no don't tell me there's a SE it says there have you seen where it is as well where is it differential oh no the McLaren 7 s uses a differential hall effect sensor for its vehicle speed sensor the faulty speed sensor can negatively impact a vehicle's operation and there's the what price how much what you reckon you know I'd think 70 quid I think bit expensive but it's got to be done 300 Grand you're joking that's £616 plus £43,000 to fit it right okay question is where is that and can we get to it and can we take it out and give it a little and back in I was thinking the McLaren Gods just said to me they think it's dirty yeah I reckon they said the same thing they said take out like a uh Nintendo 64 thing yeah blow into it back in Works do you know how I've touched every single nut and bolt on this car yeah I think I know where that is it's not good what time is it according to the McLaren it's 7 minutes past 1 but the mlar couldn't mean anything is that at the right time I don't know you've got a phone in your hand I think I can see the transmission sensor see there I think that's it can you see that on the video yep could it need an N64 back in Imagine a fixing £ 150,000 super car by just blowing some dust off it and then pluging back in that's why we have this YouTube channel because I you know next time someone withen 720s has his same exact fault they can put it in their ramp in their unit which they'll definitely have take the wheels off change every ABS sensor realize it isn't it take out the wheel the vehicle speed sensor thing out of the gearbox give it an NS 64 blow and swap it back in jobs your uncle saved you 300 Grand Step One undo these t30s holding in the Arch lining you just here there it is there that's the sensor so we think that sensor is the cause of all of this yes and if it needs replacing 300 Grand there we go here it is 300 Grand sensor from McLaren bet you if we looked at the boss partner oh get that a whiff smells like a scrapyard got metal shards on it that's not good is it especially for 4,000 miles oh dear oh do you know what you did back in the day at video box or Blockbuster did you ever do that you used to take the CDs out and then put the things back on the side they would never know yeah so right back in the day what I used to do I remember a perfect one exactly what I had WWE SmackDown on a PlayStation 2 and when I put it in it weren't going past the screen where it goes like that it weren't going past that screen it kept crashing because I'd left the disc out and it scratched all the disc so I went to video box which was like Blockbuster a cheap version hired WWE Smackdown for one night which was like six quid give the old discs a switch around send it back how will they know boom done what's the chance is if this doesn't work we order it from McLaren £616 probably more from McLaren AKA 300 Grand we put the new one in we put this one clean it up put it in the Box send it back how would they know that right there was exact exctly why Blockbuster went out of business I don't think it's going to send McLaren out of business but no not with those prices every time I bring McLaren and say can I order a part they always saying special order no returns 300 Grand 300 Grand yeah sensors going back in do you know if this works so it make us Macar and TCH yeah I think so I think so yeah Ma and Tech always wear hard work boost tal as well because this has been hard work but will it be Talent that's the question oh yeah this is hard work there's no Talent involved in this early is though no depends though some people might think we're really talented but really all we do is look at Google that's in this is an interesting fault a't it because this could be the difference between a couple of ABS sensors which we could potentially send back um or 300r the McLaren Tech did say disconnect this that's out whil disconnected we should fix the parking sensor parking sensor let it go to sleep turn it back on we're going to have a work in McLaren yeah so remember the parking sensor has fell inside the actual holder is like stuck to the back you could say it's m fa because none of many other cars have had this issue but it's just a McLaren isn't it now if you're buying a McLaren and you don't want to get charged £300,000 from the dealership and it's a good idea to buy one which has no fault and no bad history straight the way which is why you should use car vertical to check the car out before you buy it and it will tell you everything the full history of the car any mileage fraud any outstanding Finance whether it's been stolen before whether it's ever been exported before whether it's been used as a taxi even and it also give you a full timeline of the car every time it's passed anot every time it's failed anot every time it had an ownership change every time a registration plate has changed from a personal reg back to a normal reg it will show you everything so it's a good idea to check your car out using that first and good thing as well do you know that if your car was in an accident yeah and it was auctioned off at a place like Copart say show you the photos of the car at copot so you can see the damage of where the car was actually damaged you can check your car out with the special Mark 2 discount code the mark 2 Channel discount code up here if you've used the code off the main Channel you can actually use this one now because I don't think you can use it multiple times yeah the Link's in the description let's fix this parking sensor issue can you see it where's it gone oh here it is who's got the longest finger you definitely got the longest fingers Reon oh yeah I'm winning that one man's got length oh yeah yeah let me get my finger in where am I going that way but you need to hook it towards me got it Salad Fingers over here oh yeah yeah I've got it I've got it I've got it okay let you let off there he is okay sticky pad didn't work but we've got this out which is the platform that the parking sensor clips into so all we need to do you can see it a bit clearer now reckon we just tar SE all this up which is all they do at factory in fact man saw it let me show you they make sure it's never coming out I think we do the same thing we just go absolutely Havoc with mansori glue AKA taret seal right that's going in here it comes look at all that tiger seal oh my yeah yeah yes great news just can't do big sends on the way home because it will be able to do big sends because this is going to be fixed with our Nintendo 64 we ready I'm ready are you ready Liam I'm born ready do know if your engine and your red gasket goes you take the head off and go put it all back together I hope it works if it goes bong then it's going to get slapped in the head here we go still there it's still there I don't think it worked I think that sensor's just why it's weird that the sensor just decided you know what home time 9 M hour lot and the wheels AR moving at all might mean got to get one of them sensors so Bosch will have a part number of that sensor and it's used on loads of different cars it'll go to McLaren and then McLaren use their own part number for it for their system so like we're looking for a McLaren sensor but really it's just going to be a boss sensor which is probably used on loads of different cars like there's one here for like a Honda so we got to try and find one of these so hopefully we can find one sensor is ordered it was £600 from but it won't come till Monday today Saturday we also have a CT carbon splitter which originally come off the car anyway when I was on the track but we don't have time to really fit this properly because we' got to get on the Rolls-Royce because it's being shipped out next week that's a whole another story so this is what it would have looked like if we fitted it you just absolutely crumpled that on it's nowhere near that's not what it looks like no no no no stop man stop look how far away that is that's not wait and that is what it would have looked like if we fitted it thanks so much for watch this video If you enjoyed it hit the Subscribe button hit that thumbs up button and I guess we got to fit that in the next video fit the fix the Rolls-Royce fix the everything on this peace out
