“No point pulling your plums out for no reason” - I think I am going to get that printed on to a t-shirt!
“No point getting your plums out…….” Another Chris classic 🤣🤣🤣🤣. That looks a lovely repair lads. Should be a great series.
Knocking your plumbs out old but gold 👍
Rob we need a compilation video of Chris tit bit sayings 😂😂
That seller listed a better looking part to sell the crap one in my opinion, then has the cheek to try and get another £50 for the light!, Cheeky bugger.
When that tailgate came minus the lights I'd have told them to take it away & refund the money. You can't charge for one thing then deliver another, imho.
There's a reason they had a 96% feedback!
“It’s had a fair knock but, until we get the bumper off we don’t know how bad it is” Chris says calmly 😂the bloke is a legend, nothing fazes him at all!!!
You bought back lights, you're owed back lights - simple as.
I think Synetiq should honour the original purchase in that they should supply the parts that would have been included in the other tailgate.
Any EBay seller with less that 98% Positive feedback, you have to wonder, case in point here.
Did that tailgate with the lights etc really get damaged in transit? Or did they realise they undersold it so told you it was damaged?.. Then to send you a replacement and then ask extra for the lights?.. Do hope you don't use them again..
Just love Chris's skeleton key for the tailgate! Chris looked at home in that Rob, hmmm! What a car it will be when finished...Thanks guys.
That was very naughty or sneaky of the tailgate supplier to "supply a different one because the more complete one got damaged" but was partly stripped! I reckon you should have at least been contacted first and been given the chance to look elsewhere.
I’m working on it 👍
SINETIQly Shafted
Took 10 days for them to source another. Bandits
Don't understand why people go mad about these A-Classes, seems like every chav and dealer under the sun drives one. Nothin special at all.
Never bother with their small cars.
Mercedes not what they once were..
@@staticaudio6961 in that case, hopefully, it wont be full of rust in 5 years time.
@@iamyourfuture808 it almost definitely will be almost scrap in no time
PCP, simple.
Hi chris and rob that boot lid you ordered is the usual stint of some these recycling centres pull by showing you a complete and then give you a totally different one... with some excuse in your case it was damaged so why did they not get in touch and show you (maybe chris could have repaired it after seeing it).... why did they not take the lights off the damaged one and send separately... reason they did not have that one there in stock in first place....i would definitely ask for a rebate as you were supplied not as described.....onwards and upwards boys looking forward to the next episode of this motor as per usual ....can i say please dont have the camera so far away from shot as you cant see the nitty gritty of the parts your describing 👍
I’m working on it
Chris is chomping at the bit to get a start. The man is a legend in my eyes! Great video as always lads!
Car vertical is really expensive but ok if you get free credits off them tho…..thats why he bigs them up so much.
Cheaper and better companies out there
Your first comment on the channel
@@acorndogs904 so who cares….oh you do
The tailgate ebay guys done you dirty, shame people like that take the mickey. Cars coming on nice though
Thats insane, you paid for the boot in colour with both lights and intact loom and they want 50 quid now for a single light 😂
I think they should be revising that boot lid price to 100 quid , no lights , wiring cut and damage to paint work that you need to fix and took ages to come.
Offered me £60
I don't think I'd of been as polite over the tailgate incident, but I guess you might use the company again at some point. This car should be a great turnaround for you two.
I had a rear end collision in 1993 with my 1986 Ford Orion and it was a write off, the car behind ended up in my boot at only 20 MPH! amazing how car protection and technology has come along.
The dream team in perfect synchronisation! 2 best mates doing what they do best, and with a passion for cars. Lovely car lads. Should be a cracker.
That hedge @ 30 secs is a treat!!
I think your channels fast becoming my favourite UA-cam go to.... Just really nice seeing honest people doing honest work.
Guess that explains their 96.5% feedback then. Hope you get that light you ordered Rob as that's a bit cheeky of them to send an alternative that's not as good as what was pictured. Looking at their feedback history is a shocking read of poor customer service. Anyway, look forward to seeing you boys getting this back on the road. I'm sure Chris will have that bodywork straight in no time!
I admire your patience and lack of negativity, because I’d have prattled on about that boot way more than you did and that’d been wrong, you just apprised us of the facts and your experience. After thinking about it for a while I understand why, it’s because there’s a good chance you may have to deal with them again, and best not to burn bridges. Your attitude is spot on, you let it go and moved on, because otherwise it’d have impact on the content of this video and I know you guys are all about spreading positivity. Good on ya
I would dispute the fact that you bought a tailgate with lights etc and they sent you a second one without at the same price, they say the other tailgate got damaged, no problem, but they could of taken the lights out of it and sent them along with this other tailgate. why should you have to search again and then pay further amounts for another set of lights.
As I said in the video bud I’m sorting it out 👍
You need to change the tail gate badge the tail gate you have put on is a 250 the car is a 220
🤦🏻♂️
Chris’s next motor 😂
You were shafted by that E bay seller, it's happened to me so many times I won't use E Bay again
Now you know why those ebay scammers only have a 96.5% feedback rating
Surely guys, if the ebay advert for the boot lid included rear lights etc, they have contravened the ad and, should replace what didn't arrive or, return some money.
Yea that’s right. They can’t sell something and swap it for a worse one and then tell you it’s going to be more money for the extra parts you were supposed to get to begin with.
I’m working on it
They shouldn’t get away with sending you that when you clearly bought one with the lights in it. I’d tell them to stick it up their you know what if they told me it’s an extra £50 for the lights which you were supposed to get in the first place. Anyways it’s a lovely car
That you get many of your vehicles directly from the owners saves a lot of hassle and auction fees, more profit for you. You 2 seem to have a knack to pick cars you can fix and make out good in the end. By the time you get done, it will be a excellent care for the future owner.
That tailgate should have been returned. There is no way you should pay the same amount as the one in the pics. Bet that same picture will be up again when they have a new shoddy one to pass off.
it good how Chris thinks about your safety Rob good team work
Guys don’t forget after paint on the boot lid, the badges from the replacement boot don’t match the originals. A220d - A250e if I’m not mistaken. Great video as always.
Always great work on restoration of cars great team work,Chris is one of the best in the business great salvage work guys brilliant video 👍😎😎
I do like the A Class, but don’t forget it isn’t German. It is built in Finland. In fact the factory produced the original Porsche Boxter! There’s some pub trivia for you 👍
Much better to get a car thats been rear ended instead of a hit from the front another great jobs lads
Poor service by the company you used to purchase the boot lid. Personally would have gotten a refund back. However, Great work by yourselves as usual👍👍
Thanks Chris and Rob - very enjoyable content - I like these assessment, planning; and parts acquisition stages. Cheers
£50 sheets for a 10 day delivery with parts missing and the wrong colour- I hope they sorted you lads.
They certainly deserve negative feedback.
Over 97000 feedback ratings for that parts company and under 96% positive feedback. I’ll avoid those chancers thank you
I think they tried to milk you guys, especially trying to charge extra for the lights, don't use them again guys
I would have said if they damaged it send both boot lids shocking treatment
Doesn’t help when u buy from an obvious chop shop
It’s amazing work you guys do. Fascinating as always and joy to watch and learn.
Great video guys , nice bit of salvage , good luck 👍👍👍👍👍
Brilliant video Rob and Chris two guys of your calibre easy repair well done guys love the channel and the work you do ❤
Great video lads. Liking the talk over by Rob during the Timelapse and also Chris old photos on his Instagram of vehicles he’s repaired in the past.
Lookkng forward to seeing the result! Great video as always guys!
That job is right up Chris,'s Street he so happy and you can hear Rob's excitement in his voice really looking forward to the next one
Well done guy's can't wait 👏 👍
It's annoying when what you get is not what was promised, but like you said Rob you've just got to get on with it.
another cracking video guys can't wait to see the end result of that lovely motor can't wait to see what's next on the channel. Keep them coming guys👍👍👍💯💯💯
Can't wait to see it finish guys I'm sure you'll do a cracking job on it like always. Love the videos 👍

Such a load of specialist knowledge. Never had one of these in your hands before and you have a really good idea of how to deal with it. Very impressive.
I've been watching you channel for years now and I just want to say... its the best car channel on UA-cam 💯👍🏻👍🏻
I like your approach to assessing the damage to the car guy's. Good example of how to for anyone attempting a repair job. Well done guy's. Big thumb's up.
thankyou gentlemen another thoroughly enjoyable upload,,looking forward to part two and the crunching of numbers,,👌👍
Pulling your plums out 😂😂 haven’t heard that for years 😂😂 another great episode chaps 👍
Could be new Tee shirt merch
I love how Chris brings in the big guns. Cant beat a pivot steer for lifting. Great helf and safety from Chris👌👌❤️
Looking forward to seing this one done guys we’ll done love it 👊🏻👊🏻
I Guess I know what breaker I won't be using if I want to get what I ordered.
Another great video can’t wait to see the finished product ❤
The sound was absolutely okay at the end, so no worries there. A nice project, you know how I like any amount of structural pulling 😂
Beauty, look forward to the numbers on this
Loving the new style videos with the commentary - much more interesting
Great video again lads,love the detail in the voice over, this channel is so interesting, compared to others
Very nice car i think the interior is the best in class that what makes the a class so good
Nice bit of salvage 👍, masters at work again 👍
wow, such an organised unit too, loving the tool room
Good evening Rob & Chris. Like you said Rob a lovely bit of salvage 😊 Your channel is so magical you just don’t know what’s coming next lol 😆
Not great customer service from Synetiq…they probably realised that the original complete with lights was way too cheap …
Great point🤔
Will look amazing Rob when done!
Great buy ! :D
Cracking motor guys. Specifically liked Chris on the tailgate opener.
Knew the tailgate was TGTBT
Nice quick, easy repair for you guys 👌👍
What a great buy guys will be a great car and will look new in no time I’m sure
Cheers for another great video 😜👍👍
That's a lovely motor Lads, when I first saw the damage I thought the legs would have been bent,but pleasantly surprised to see they weren't,a right bummer about the tailgate,bad business that, looking forward to the repair process!👍🇮🇪
Mint again fellas lovely high quality motor as normal 👌 I am glad that your not afraid of a challenge nice to see Chris 👀 👍 making good use of one of his many toys 😀. I hope the parts don't cost an arm and a leg good team work as usual take care and stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Saturdays video 📹 already. This will be a sweet ride for someone wants it when you have worked your magic on it 😊
I would love that little mini camper bus at other side of fence! Beautiful little thing
What a nice car, not to much damage. Looking forward to seeing the next video.
Sweet little number guys, can't wait for the next video on this one!. 👍
Great video guys 😃😃👍👍
Lovely piece of salvage very smart
Great purchase guys, look forward to part two. 👍👍👍👍👍
Great job boys as always 👍
Great content as usual guys.
lovely project boys
What a brilliant video ! This is a great vehicle for a project now & good content for the channel 👌👌👌
Great video again guys.. looking forward to the follow up. Don't make as wait to long 😂👍
Thanks for the film. A very good new project which I'm sure you'll have up and running in no time. Annoying that they sent a different boot to the one advertised. Made up for it though with the light backing panel. Looking forward to see how this goes back together
Great channel this is guys 👌🏻
Hi Rob and Chris what a lovely looking car and what a great video take care both and thankyou 👍🙂
