Get yourselves some insulated gloves.
It's possible it's the pyro fuse causing the issues. EVs and hybrids have them too.
Manufacturers are starting to lock down systems to stop repairers working on their cars. We need the right to repair to be made available to non dealers!
@@tonyford7987 that isn’t actually the reason for them locking down it’s more about theft of vehicles by using the obd socket to program new keys
« That’s the French flag »
« Is it? » 😂😂😂
Top tip 1, need better gloves! Top tip 2, for when trying the loud pedal, an EV can deliver 100% torque from standstill. The straps would not have saved the cab of the truck if it had been live.
Guys Arco sell proper gloves. Cheap and essential. Dont injure yourselves
Whilst I'm pleased for you guys getting such a great deal, it is a shocking eye openers as to why we are all being bent over by our insurance companies.
That a car with such minor damage can be written off at 1 month old and sold for less than 20% of original retail price, is ridiculous.
Take it from a fellow who has had some training in Ev's and PHEV's. Get the right tools and proper recommended insulated gloves before one of you gets fried.
It's not very bright taking those chances with DC High Voltage, which is more lethal than domestic AC current.
Find a local training course where EV and PHEV maintenance is covered in detail
Can always tell when rob is excited as it’s a Starbucks not a McDonald’s 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Please use the right gloves when dealing Electric vehicles.
lol those thin silicon workshop gloves aren’t going to help with these voltages. Thick rubber gloves please.
I'd be wearing something a bit thicker than your marigolds for working on the HV electrical
A nice one, Chris looked a bit dejected then I realised no coinage to be found! Thanks guys as usual....👍
I have that exact 2024 model in blue, absolutely love it but I can guarantee I paid a lot more for it than you did, haha. It'll usually not start the petrol engine when you first start the car, so nothing happening under the bonnet when you press the button is totally normal, but that also means don't mess with it putting it in gear assuming it won't scoot off at quite an alarming rate just because the engine isn't running, it may only have about 65hp in full electric mode but it has enough instant torque to send it half way across the workshop before you realise. The thing to check for is the "ready" message on the dash, as that means the car is live and ready to go, that's the only indication you'll get.
Evening lads, the gateway been locked is normal on newer Renault's and Dacia's.
Depending on which brand of scanner you use you can buy tokens from Renault to gain access so no problem.
Good luck.
If you're gonna be messing with hybrids get some proper gloves. Even a pinhole in those latex gloves and the voltage they work at will blow you 20ft across the yard!!
Chris, Get some proper 300V gloves. Those gloves you had on will not necessarily be enough.
Although plugging in the high voltage orange wires is usually perfectly safe without gloves Specialist gloves would be required to work with the high voltage battery pack I think the voltage is likely to be between 230 to 440 volt but very high in amperage This will be an interesting fix of the electrical side Seems to be quite minimal bodywork damage for someone with Chris's skillset Over £19 K of car when not Cat S
Paro fuse it next to boot battery in a black box .looks likes an ecu box . Change it sorted ..
If the stitching on the steering wheel is in the French colours, I assume its all white, then? 😜
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
New cars have a security gateway that limits access to diagnostic info and module coding this is going to limit what independent garages can do regarding fault codes without paying for access to the each individual manufacturer softwares
My neighbour has a Toyota Hybrid and the engine doesn't run until you get up to about 20 MPH also in reverse the engine doesn't run. So I would guess this one is the same even though it is a Renault. You have got a real bargain there Gents with very few miles what a good little car. Thanks Rob and Chris for another interesting video. 👍👍
This is a golden nugget which you should capitalize on as your youngest ever car go for the profit when its completed. looking forward to the finished item nice. crack on
Mate those food server rubber gloves will not save you at this kind of power..
Now you know why dealers do not bid on electric or full hybrid cars , way too much hassle
this is an EASY £10k+ profit, your best ever, looking forward to this series....and the numbers
Great video, love the balance of Ron’s childish enthusiasm V Chris’s mr sensible .
I’m very excited too about the project, it should be very profitable!
@@GordonNicol who’s Ron
@@sruk my bad Dave, I’m great with names!😳
Dealer software required, autel scanners you can buy access. But hybrid battery can only be restarted by renault
Those thin surgical type gloves are useless as protection against the voltages on one of these hybrids. Need to get some proper gloves!
They probably did 500 miles and had to walk home, then remembered they forgot the keys and had to walk 500 more. There should be a song about that.
@@bingbong7316 good idea, that would make a great song . “I’d like to be the man who walked 1000 miles to get back to the car door”
You finish lyrics and we’ll split the royalties!
Gonna throw a curve ball!at you guys and suggest it's sung in a Scottish accent and by twins, sounds crazy I know but its worth a try for the sheer madness of it all...
@@Phuc_Yhou no that’s too rad, you’ve gone too far, let me think……Da,Da,Da,Da,Da. Needs to be more sensible, perhaps a clean cut couple of guys, who look similar but one wears glasses.
Might be worthwhile looking into an Autel diagnostic unit chaps. We just picked up an MS909 with the maxiflash VCI, and as long as we get the car on a battery maintainer, we can use the Remote Expert function so a supplier with manufacturer-grade software can reprogram/clear the ECUs completely remotely. Proper bit of kit.
AUTEL do 20 unlock token packs for £220 for Renault
I’m a Renault mechanic. We’ve not had many hybrid Clios sold, but I have driven one and they are actually quite nice (actually a lot nicer to drive than the Clio RS)
There are special gloves for operating high voltage connectors. Those nitrile gloves won't cut it and do not isolate enough.
'hybrid disconnected ' was perhaps too much of an offput for normal humans !
I had one of these last week as a hire car in Dublin with work, full hybrid. Pulls like a little rocket away from the traffic lights, handles well too. Good luck will be a great car when complete. Love the channel 👍
Nothing hidden from us as always.. open and honest.. can't learn this stuff from a book or in a class room.. buy one and get involved.. no fear ..
Hi I would look at the pyro fuse aswel with it being crashed and having crash data
Can’t get enough of these next batch due in September.
Alpine is top 145 bhp sell at least 5 a week.
Will check reg and see if it’s one from are group
It will start in ev mode and show on dash but as it tries to warm up the engine will kick in.Has a ev button below the screen and you can try and force it in but I do a 30 mile round trip in one to central Manchester and it without trying does 60 to the gallon.wont go if door open!
European court has found in favour of independent garages being locked out by manufacturers using Security gateways and rulled it illegal. The appeals are going through the courts now. this will basically decide whether you'll be able to have post 2021 vehicle repaired by independents or need to return to dealerships. You can purchase the equipment and licensing to operate on these vehicles but it ias extortionate and requires paying Renault and the likes every time you try and diagnose/work on them. The future of vehicle repairs will be decided in the next few months and will be dependent on the public voicing their concerns and demanding vehicle repairs outside the dealership networks..
Would a ruling from an EU court have any effect in Britain? Renualt will need to remove the gateway in the EU, but what about the rest of the world?
It'll go ahead, it's all part of the plan to get us peasants off the road
Renault CLIP diagnostic software has all been online since 2022. You can only read basic faults but can't do anything else with aftermarket diagnostic equipment. You'll need someone with the latest CLIP software and online access, you have to pay for every diagnostic function you do. All part of the latest ploy by manufacturers to keep work in-house. Problem is the "mechanics" in main dealers are nothing more than parts changers, they don't fix anything.
For the record the hybrid system will be 400v or above.
There will be a dc-dc converter and usually a 12v battery too.
That is a cracking price for an almost brand new car! Going to be interesting - sometimes the pyrofuse is in with the EV battery which might need full strip down. As this is hybrid maybe it will be easier? Just take care lads High volts can kill!
Surprised the locking wheel nut key wasn’t in it being so new.
You need to get some rubber gauntlets if you’re playing around under the bonnet of EV’s / hybrids. ☮️
The enthusiasm is so infectious! Thanks for another great video chaps 👍🏻
Hi Rob and Chris. I can't see the gloves too clearly, but they'll not protect you from high voltage. The ones I use are a lot bigger and thicker than those. Please be careful;.
Dont go getting yerself electrcuted we enjoy your channel and would miss it so badly
The MK5 Clio is brilliant, drives well, has charachter, has a well built interior and looks well, i have a 1.5 dci 6 speed manual Limited trim, best car ever.
Great video and work as always Rob!
Our vitara, i bought new for the wife as a birthday gift , she done 22 kilometers before a side impace and wrote off
All hybrid and EV cars have a 12v system that still runs accessory items like lights, audio etc. Btw you need proper 1000v high tension rubber gloves/gauntlets as well as the over gloves to properly protect yourselves.
Normally the HV battery will have a pyrotechnic fuse inside unit which will blow if the vehicle has been involved in an accident. I suspect as the airbags have been deployed then the fuse has blown. The HV battery may need recommissioning too after an inspection to confirm no damage has been done to the unit.
Great to hear of your support for British made tools.
This will be a learning experience for both of you and really interesting for us. Could be a mega profit in it at the end of the day.
Rob, "I'm really excited about this one". Sounds like this one is staying in the family to me. 🤨
I work for a Renault Uk main dealer. If you want any advice or need some help. Feel free to drop me a note.
nice to see you getting stuck in and moving with the times, no doubt going to be more common with these hybrids and EV's getting written off so should be a nice line of profit in the future!
Looks like the new UNECE software needed on new cars from June/July 2024 to hinder access to the car from unwanted persons. More or less to not allow somebody to hi jack your car from outside. As with every security system, it makes life of anybody more complicated. But you should expect a similar “firewall” on any 24 or newer car.
Never needed to purchase “unlocking software” with the old Ford Cortina’s or Escorts 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The miles you read is not odometer ,it's one of the trip computer menu showing how many miles you drove from start in the last journey ,so try to some of the buttons on the wipers or headlight stalk to go through all the info. showing on the cluster.
Lovely to see the Alpine badge making a return on Renaults - now, let's have the Gordini badge too! Worth remembering that to an electrician, 400V is classed as Low Voltage. Best to be cautious of course, but...
Good luck with this one lads and fingers crossed there ends up being a good profit in it. Glad to see Chris has a new Defender and maybe you could be sponsored to do an EV / Hybrid training course??
Most modern Hybrids you’re able to force the engine to start. Make sure it states ready on the speedo (EV mode), then jab the throttle past the kickdown switch or give it full throttle and most will kick the internal combustion engine into life.
Done it loads over the years guys fitting trackers as we need to check for correct power feeds
Hi Rob. Pretty sure you've answered this question a million times before but ............ is it possible to remove a Cat N designation from a vehicle ? If so, how do you go about doing it ? Or do you have a video that covers this ? Cheers fella. Love the vids.
Hi Rob and Chris, got to be the biggest bargain ever.. maybe more technical than usual to reset etc but looking forward to this one. Alex
If the air bags blow the Pyro fuse blows pyro fuse is gone if you bridge the fuse she should start
😂😂 what a fun video today both of you reminded me of Hinge and Bracket 🤭😂😂 grate to see you both having a laugh👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻🤣🤣🤣👏🏻
Software Lock/Unlock .. Contact the dealer. Obviously good to stop unqualified people getting hurt, however, these new cars are a “CASHCOW” for the dealers to fleece you. Its why many will not buy modern vehicles.. cost a small fortune to repair with tools for the DIYERs amongst us!!!!
Not another pain in the backside electric car to buy and work on fellas I hope you get it up and running and get a nice drink 🍸 out of it 😀 stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Wednesday's video 📹 already 😊❤
Surely the Pyro fuse will have blown?
Lot of people fretting here about the voltages in EVs. Did they ever fret about the belts you could get from an ignition plug lead or the HV inverter on discharge headlights?
Voltage is not the problem, its the current. A very high impeadance 1000's of volts is way safer than a very low impeadance 200+ volts. Also depends what you are touching at the time, keep one hand away from metal work then its also a lot safer.
@@TheValvePage Oh, I'm perfectly aware of that - I've been dealing with electrics and electronics for nigh on fifty years, from modern logic to mains-derived EHT supplies at 30KV as well as electrical control systems.
I feel sorry for Chris because I know how he likes looking for shrapnel lol and being only a few months old I don’t think he’s going to find much but he is a legend and so are you Rob keep up the superb work you guys do I always love watching your videos and they are so fascinating 👍👍🙂🙂🤔🤔
Lads you need to get on a E Vehicle training course , those rubber gloves are a waste of time if you have the misfortune to have a short on the system, also use a full face version if you value your good looks. 😅😊.
Cars these day are full of technical rubbish you don't need, and never did need.....
Exactly, but the manufacturer needs it to cut costs.
But it's nice to have it!
Well said , it may sound sad but its only two years ago I got my first vehicle with electric windows and I still miss the old wind up windows where I was In control of how fast or slow the windows went up or down and I now feel I have surrendered to pointless tech .I look at the dash/ speedo area and it tells me I should get changing gear up or down when I already knew that after driving for over 50years and flashing signs and bells and whistles when I just could not be bothered to plug in my seat belt because when I passed my test there were no seat belts,its like now big brother has took over completely...,???
Electric handbrake and keyless ignition top the list
I remember when this was green fields, looks at it now, a hospital, dental surgery and a DV sanctuary, who needs them?
I like the way Chris immediately asserted himself here, and stood firm. Good lads
ever thought the reason the engine dont start and systems shuts down is the pyrofuse? it may have blown as the airbags have gone off
"You kindly bought me a Starbucks". That's damning with faint praise surely 🤣🤣.
At least he didn't call it coffee.....😂
Nice to see really recent content. 👍👍
Quality work fella's. Lets be honest Copart owed you after that lemon.
One of the big put-off's for people are repairing new or facelift models. It can be really hard to get the newer correct parts to fix.
Wow, almost brand spanking new!! This is going to be very interesting. 👍😊
Wow what a buy. Its a Renault and a full hybrid electric. I have a full electric Volvo crossover and everything on the car says WARNING around the electric system . Take care.
Hi Rob, I think the tyres on your truck could do with a drop of air - just saying.
Think you should take heed from the comments and wear the proper protection. Hate to see Chris with his hair standing on end.
Another superb purchase guys !!
Great video, Rob and Chris 👍
What a cracking car - and what a bargain for someone once you have done it.
You'll get there, lads. Nice little car that. 🚗
It was good to see you and have a chat Rob. Amazing video as usual 💪🏼
Thanks guys hope you get it started. I’m sure you will
Dynomec kits are OK to use, as long as the locking wheel nut hasn't been fitted by a former F1 pit crew garage monkey with his 3000nm airgun he got last Christmas.
The black Renault locking wheel nut box should be under the floor cover in the boot of the car, where the spare wheel used to live.
this is the latest hurdle for us repairers .... secure gateway usually stops anything other than the reading of fault codes .... no live data no clearing of codes etc .... i use a bypass module on alfas no idea if there's any such thing for renault yet ...the only other option is to pay their subs ... what it does do though is stop can injection thefts where they fool the car the smart key is present by linking into the can network commonly on toyota and lexus by going in via the headlight wiring
Nothing yet, we specialise in Renault. It's only a matter of time before someone in Lithuania exploits the back door and makes a module for them.
@@andrewlaw mercedes use a gateway as well now .... the fiat alfa box just temporarily plugs in in place of the sgm so maybe , as you say, something will appear in time
Maybe that plastic on the pedals and wet feet is whats caused the accident.
Check for pyro fuse fellas. They can be on the 12v battery and in the hybrid battery. Only touch the hybrid side with the proper gloves.
That was an amazing bargain lads looking forward to seeing done 👍
I’m that daft now I’ve forgotten what Rob said the mileage was so I can’t even cheat, getting old is no fun😊, great purchase guys , going to be fun this one, nice ending Rob keeps us informed and cuts down on the questions we ask about what you’re going to do with it
Alpine is like a sportscar arm of Renault and is pronounced "alpeen". the same Alpine as in the Alpine(Renault) F1 team.
When’s the fiesta rs turbo going up for sale. Old school classic 👌🏻
Looks like a great bargain - with that colour, I had to wear my sunglasses to watch 🙂
Hi rob and Chris, i think the miles are 600 , from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless good luck with the wee car
I wonder why it got written off for what appears to minor structural damage?
Can’t wait to see the next one of this Clio! Greetings from Milan, Italy!
