YouTuber who bought and rebuilt dream Lamborghini hit with shock when taking car for a drive

Three years ago, this YouTuber rebuilt his dream Lamborghini Murciélago.

With its bold lime green body, the supercar caused a scene wherever he took it.

However, it recently started looking flashy for all the wrong reasons.

Out of nowhere, every single light on the dashboard lit up, and the owner watched his dream car turn into a potential nightmare.

YouTuber Mat Armstrong has an enviable garage, which includes a 2019 Aston Martin Vantage, a Lamborghini Gallardo LP560-4, and a 2015 Range Rover Vogue.

When he bought a Lamborghini Murciélago three years ago, he completely rebuilt it.

But instead of flipping it to sell for profit, like the guy who made five figures in two hours off his, he kept it for himself.

He was on the way back from a supercar festival when something looked very wrong.

It’s pretty normal not to recognize some of the lights on a dashboard, like the tiny symbol that tells you to fill up your car.

But in this case, Armstrong had no chance of figuring out his Murciélago‘s dashboard: every single light was on.

The fuel gauge bounced around, the tachometer read 9,000RPM, and the mileage showed only question marks.

“I’ve got lights on that I didn’t even know existed,” Armstrong said.

Suspecting a wiring issue, he removed the dashboard and prayed it would be a simple fix, knowing a new one would cost him just over $5,000.

These cars like to be driven, and Armstrong reckons he hasn’t been driving the supercar enough.

He’s done about 4,500 miles, which is low but not nearly as low as the world’s lowest-mileage Murciélago.

After inspecting the dashboard and, finding nothing, he turned his attention to the GFA.

The GFA module is what sends signals to the dashboard, and was clearly not doing its job.

He found one on eBay but wasn’t sure if it would work, considering GFAs are coded to specific cars.

The YouTuber was mentally preparing to have to buy new keys and locks alongside a brand new GFA.

Before taking the expensive route, he tried his luck with an eBay GFA module.

Incredibly, the car roared to life, and the dashboard calmed down completely.

A new GFA module means it won’t match up to the VIN of the car, but Armstrong doesn’t mind.

“I’m not going to sell it,” he said.

“I’ll basically be buried in it, so it doesn’t matter.”
