I watched Reclamet's channel where they repaired a classic Austin A40 that had been hit. Second hand door from the owner, and panel beating the rear wing. All fixed and painted, very smart job indeed.
Can you imagine 50 yrs ago if you said to someone in the future one single car headlight would cost £1100 and it would have to be coded they would think you were completely off your rocker but here we are? Great video as always is the case 👍👍
Quick turn arounds = more projects = more profit. These guys have been making a living from this for years and they know what works. So many comments from armchair warriors complaining it’s too cheap - they can’t have a £25k+ motor sitting in the yard for months on end, with the price slowly depreciating over time, waiting for a buyer, so that they can purchase more projects. Just enjoy the content and go back to your Tesco shift in the morning
Never really watched car repair videos before, love how these guys are so positive and hardworking and the gentle polite English manner they speak to each other. Great channel.
Excellent work. It never ceases to amaze me how much modern headlight units cost. But then I was brought up on sealed beam units and conversion to plug in units. Cheap as chips! That’s going to be a great car for the money for someone.
What i love about you guys, unlike ALOT of other UA-camrs, who i think fleece there follows to some extent, with putting there cars through these competition car sites to make an absolute killing! You guys set a fair price of what you want for a car and thats it, i see that as helping you're viewers getting a decent car for less money than you can buy one for anywhere else completely done, its refreshing
Very nice to see the bemmer finished and reclamet having a paint shop is also very handy for you guys and they look after you nice little partnership parts and paint
Loved this. Can't believe how much you take on, so many things to do and you never give up. I'd be in the mental asylum faced with all these challenges. My hat is off to you both.
Rob, I used to work at Ford factory for 27 years and anything that could possibly damage the body work of the car was covered. I have always wondered why you don’t put protection on your ramp post to prevent you guys accidentally opening a door on it especially when you do such a nice job of finishing the cars. Regards Rob
That’s quite funny probably 2 of the best crash repair experts that get someone to fix there van That sounds like me a builder that pays someone to work at my house 😂😂😂😂❤
That made me smile, you spend your lives repairing other people's 'bladdered' motors and when someone bladders your own, you farm the repair out. I know it's time and you farm out the paint anyway and someone else is paying, but it made me smile
It’s to stop thieves taking liberties of people who work hard for their cars and stealing them and breaking them for parts…Simples 🤷

Just replaced my two front headlamps on my 2006 audi a3. Bumper off, remove headlamps, upgrade bulbs into new headlamps, refit headlamps and bumper, slash shields. Thats it. No programming. I managed to source 2 brand new genuine Audi lamps from two different sellers for £105. Euro wanted 250 each aftermarket.
@deekthetrucker5885 how is it stopping thieves if really anyone in the after market can code them?, i know several places that can code other than the dealer.
The BMW is looking very nice now it is done aside from those few bits to be fitted. It is good that you have another option for doing your painting for you. As you are pleased with the results no doubt you will use them again. Another one is saved and it will be out the door when you are ready. Thanks Rob and Chris for the final video on this lovely car. 👍👍
It’s testimony to you guys that you’re not charging silly money for what are clearly sorted cars. Shows you are decent people, happy to earn a coin from an honest days work. Good on ya 😀
Hi Rob and Chris, turned out very nice, lots of fiddly bits, programming etc.. lovely car and a bargain as usual. Really nice to see all your jobs always going out the door quality repaired..Alex.
Had the same issue on my sons M240i when we repaired that, because it was the adaptive icon led headlight, dealer price over £1200 plus modules and programming! Managed to find a used one online and luckily the smaller module was still with the damaged headlight in the boot, the larger one however we purchased an aftermarket one from eBay from Xennonsuk, we still had to have BMW program it but we had it done at the same time as it’s scheduled brake fluid change. This was nearly two years ago and it has been perfect since. So they seem to be decent quality and only £90 where bmw wanted something like £400 for genuine. I don’t understand why headlights are so damn expensive these days
Cracking repair Rob & Chris 😊 Love how honest you both are about the repairs especially when you get a problem 🤔 You’re never too cheap guys as you always say Rob there’s enough profit for you both and plenty for the next trader or private sale. If you bought that car off a sales pitch they’d have to load it up just incase something went wrong and they had to fix it ☹️ Anyway fantastic as always cheers Stevie 😎
Chris is a magician Rob, and Rob you need to do another will it run video you remind me of my little girl when she comes down stairs on Christmas morning, when use get the car started! the excitement is unreal 🤣
Always a pleasure seeing you guys solving a puzzle!, resourcing parts, working out wiring and faults, far from the days of plugs, points and colour tuning! 😉😉
not sure if u sorted the parking sensors but the outer sensors are PMA sensors and are different from the forward facing ones. check part numbers. each front sensor shares a positive and neg with the other sensors but each has its own signal wire that have to be pinned correctly at the plug.
Love the channel keep it up. When you were talking about bodyshops in the video i thought a few month's ago you had plans to build you're own booth ? Any chance of a yard update as well as a lot seems to change in the background.
Mint video again fellas she is looking 👌 well smart your new paint shop did a great job looks like another good contact you have found take care fellas and stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Sundays video 📹 already 😊❤
Chris, Rob please buy Auto Alex youtube channel, yellow Ferrari. Great project needs frame work would be cool car to have in the channel 😀 great to see it rebuilt
You're also missing a quite important bit; the hood liner, you don't need that just for sound dampening but to prevent the engine from burning through the paint on the outside!
Great job fellas looks brilliant the paint is a good match to and it’s a lovely car for someone that BMW and a car for a good few years fantastic guys! See you in the next one!✨💫👌💫✨
Thanks guy its always very entertaining to see you 2 get difficult problems over come and I so like the prophet is good enough and leaving a bit for the next guy.
DiagnoseDan did a repair on the wiring harness of a crash-damaged BMW that was throwing up multiple parking sensor errors. As for 'coding' headlights - boy, have we come a long way from sealed beams and tungsten (not halogen!) 40/45W globe bulbs.
Great work, as always. Tbh subbing out Paint & Airbag's is a good idea. See one of your parts supplier's has got an award. Reclamet Wins Medium-Sized Vehicle Recycling Company of the Year 2024! Beautiful car, well priced 🏁
I watched Reclamet's channel where they repaired a classic Austin A40 that had been hit. Second hand door from the owner, and panel beating the rear wing. All fixed and painted, very smart job indeed.
Yes, I saw that some time ago - very impressive!
have you got a link for the video pls?

Hi rob and Chris, great job on the BMW, what a lot of work lad's good luck in selling it from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

Well it must be winter….crunching the numbers beside the roaring log burner !. Another triumph chaps, beautiful job.
Hello Rob and Chris, awesome work on the BMW 420,with the progress it is so much better,reclemet has done a top job on the paint.
Hi Chris, try a bit of steam on the backseat where it’s dented the leather and it should pop back out on its own
Correct
Kings who don't hate each other but actually achieve good things together Rob and Chris the kings of recycling ❤❤
That’s quite funny probably 2 of the best crash repair experts that get someone to fix there van
That sounds like me a builder that pays someone to work at my house 😂😂😂😂❤
chris is getting good at this repairing game rob!!!
Great video n God bless you
Your honest value is keeping you grow more n more
Keep up the excellent work u doing 🙏🏻
Looks great, that should sell easily at that price anytime of the year! 👍
That made me smile, you spend your lives repairing other people's 'bladdered' motors and when someone bladders your own, you farm the repair out. I know it's time and you farm out the paint anyway and someone else is paying, but it made me smile
Thanks guys. An enjoyable watch as always. 👌🏻
Ridiculous that you have to program a headlight to work on new cars these days !!
All about the dealers trying to have more coin out of the customers
Long gone are the good days of being able to simple jobs on your drive

That's some outstanding work done on that BMW.
Well done Rob and Chris on the bmw convertible repair, wow a lot parts but it’s turn out very good. 👍
It’s testimony to you guys that you’re not charging silly money for what are clearly sorted cars. Shows you are decent people, happy to earn a coin from an honest days work. Good on ya 😀
Good morning Rob and Chris, the BMW looks lovely all your hard work has paid off. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
Honestly guys what a great channel you keep it real and allways turn a car around fast and make a profit 99percent of the time
That's a stunning motor, fellas. Respect to you for doing it at such a good price for someone.
Rob and Chris all the car you do looks great well done guys
During crunch the numbers, I thought somebody was welding something. Took me a good couple of minutes to realise it was the log burner
We have a new saying for the xmas t shirts " completely completed" lovin it
Hi Rob and Chris, turned out very nice, lots of fiddly bits, programming etc.. lovely car and a bargain as usual. Really nice to see all your jobs always going out the door quality repaired..Alex.
Faith in humanity restored a little, that you are not trying to maximise your profits. Happy Christmas lads 👍

You definitely earnt your wages on this one Rob & Chris, so much patience to take apart and put back. Glad it turned out well for you. 👍👍

Nice finish. Somebodies getting a well sorted car when that sells.
Always a pleasure seeing you guys solving a puzzle!, resourcing parts, working out wiring and faults, far from the days of plugs, points and colour tuning! 😉😉
Even though it’s a nice looking car I still think beemers are over engineered, great result guys, difficult work paid off
not sure if u sorted the parking sensors but the outer sensors are PMA sensors and are different from the forward facing ones. check part numbers. each front sensor shares a positive and neg with the other sensors but each has its own signal wire that have to be pinned correctly at the plug.
Amazing work again 👏👏👏👌👌👌
Rob actually remembered to put the ‘before’ picture in ;) well done mate. Nice addition. Love the videos fellas.
Beautiful car. Leaving enough for the next man. I think you are excellent gentleman. Well done

Another great video. It's been great discovering your channel this year. Have a good week and a good Christmas. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
Always enjoy the videos on the channel well done guys 👍👍👍
You're also missing a quite important bit; the hood liner, you don't need that just for sound dampening but to prevent the engine from burning through the paint on the outside!
Good to know that you leave a bit of meat on the bone for the next man! Keep up the good work!😎
Great job fellas looks brilliant the paint is a good match to and it’s a lovely car for someone that BMW and a car for a good few years fantastic guys! See you in the next one!✨💫👌💫✨

Great job guys! shame about the loom 👍👍

Lovely job boys; well done.

No it doesn’t have one 👍
Another great repair lads.
