    Watched the last McLaren video, saw the comment about the broken wire, liked said comment, hoped that Mat would see it, watched today’s video and saw him repair it! The satisfaction involved with that process is unreal! Kudos to the subscriber who caught it 🧐 and kudos to Mat listening😎! Love it! Can’t wait for the Mansory video!!!

    Hi Mat
    Unfortunately the crimp connector you used is not a heat shrink version!
    Also soldering plus heat shrink is always 100% better than standard crimp as it’s a molten metal connection rather than two metals pushed together under force still allowing corrosion to take place.
    Sorry to be a nerd as I love your content.
    But it had to be said.

      Nah disagree. I've soldered and heat shrunk repairs in the engine bay before but they degrade over time with the heat and movement and end up breaking. Never had a problem with crimps and in fact some of the euro manufacturers actually recommend using crimp connectors for wire repairs.

    If the ABS Sensor WIRE is stiff, it means either it has over heated or corroded internally. I am sure you have put it on the list of things to address during its next Service. As you know if one wire failed, and the wire next to it is close to failure with so few miles and time on the road, it hints at a Re-Call, and to check the other ABS Sensor harnesses for a similar condition. If one set of wires aged out, the others may as well.

    A useful trick with re-assembly on plastic parts with metal screws, if you undo the screw until it goes click and drops into the old thread, then you can do it up using the old thread, this results in a stronger repair as you haven't created a second, third or fourth thread. Failing to do this results in a screw that won't tighten as there is no plastic left to screw into.
