YOU GUYS ARE AN INSPIRATION. I've been a subscriber for several years and never miss a video. I recently bought a nice 09 plate Audi Q5, but within a fortnight I had someone pull out in front of me and my insurance company wrote it off as a cat N. It was a front passenger side impact, so had sustained damage to the bumper, headlight and wing. Needless to say, I bought it back and spent a weekend ripping it apart and watching your Audi Q5 series on repeat....... Armed with part numbers I spent a good few hours on the internet and sourced all the parts, mostly new/second-hand, genuine Audi. I'm nearly 60 and I've spent most of my life working with machines so I know how to wield a spanner. So with Chris's voice ringing in my ears I took my time getting the shut lines right. Fortunately the bonnet and door were untouched so I had some good datums to work with, but the wing was still on off, on off, on off.... but eventually I was happy. Everything else was plug and play. The numbers.... I bought it for £4500, which I got back and they even gave me a lovely Merc GLC to play with over Christmas..... I bought it back from the insurance company for £1100, parts £600, paint £420. So an Audi Q5 for £2120!!! To say i'm a happy bunny would be an understatement. Thank you guys, and I will be buying you a few coffees. Ian.

"I'd rather be short than follicley challenged!" This is how i know you two are actual mates! 🤣🤣🤣🤝🏾

Just for general reference Rob if you have BMW that has a FRM and has been in smash then unplug the module/battery during repairs. One of the FRMs jobs is to look after the lights and if there is a short on any of them the FRM will continue to 'test' whether the short is still there. After a number of tries ( I can't remember what it is anymore off the top of my head) the module will 'permanently' disable power to prevent fire. I say permanently as BMW say it can't be reset and you'll have to buy a new module and have it coded etc. In reality there are ways of reenabling the FRM but that takes a bit of Googling.

Chris cracked me up “ I can retire two years earlier” 😂😂 lovely little car gents, another brilliant video.
-
The fart noise when Chris got in the car after taking the mick out of Rob was timed to perfection 😂😂😂
-
Great video as usual. I REALLY love the bit about the folically challenged vs haircuts and retirement!
-
I love those BMWs perfectly sized. Can’t help but notice Chris’s new side gig Chicken and Waffles? Or waffles with eggs? Thanks so much for sharing Gentlemen
-
Another phoenix rises from the ashes ! - super job chaps and as always a great video. Liked the bit at the end too Rob, the ‘Top Gear’ talk to camera standing next to your fine work. Keep ‘em coming !
-
Sure I could do the dashboard...and have a lot of screws left over and loops of wire sticking out all over the place! Well done as usual. 😊
-
its been a privilege watching this channel from the ferrari shaky camera days.love how nothing phases these guys and get the job done.❤from Scotland
-
Rob can I just say a big thanks for not going endless Timelapse with music unlike some channels. You get it spot on.
-
Don't forget Chris, if you're bald at the front, you're a great lover. If you're bald at the back then you're a great thinker. If you're bald all over then you just think you're a great lover!
-
Front door fault, no door. Brilliant 😄
-
Rob Chris says about the money he has saved in the Barbers what about all the money he has saved out of all the vehicles he squirrels about in lol
-
We need some more motor bikes on the show that would be great from Christian
-
You’re right Rob, I could (probably) do that dash but it would take me 2 weeks 😅
-
That dash replacement looked pretty tricky to me Rob! Thanks for another interesting video.
-
Another brilliant video guys ,love the respectful interaction between you both ,it's refreshing.
-
It sounds like Chris needs that old white van back, with the toilet in the back. 😂😂😅
-
It's tidied up nicely, this car. I'm glad there's no hidden nasties behind the panels. Looking forward to seeing this one finished. Top work. 👍
