It's a horrible place to be when you are searching for a fault like that but the feeling when you eventually find it makes it all worth it. Well done Rob.
Hats off to you Rob on finding those chewed off wires! I think you might be a great addition to a crime scene investigation looking for a human hair in a field of hay - just brilliant!
the joy of fixing the problem is bigger than the disappointment of finding out it had one!! Rob, you have to get up very early to pull the wool over Chris's eyes i think he had sussed you were up to something but he was well chuffed with your handy work 👍
I do love how Chris makes pulling these dents and damaged areas look so simple but im sure it takes years of experience and the correct equipment. Well done Rob in finding those damaged wires. Dont see this one taking too long. Keep up the great content and I look forward to following along for part 2.
Why arent you on tv , ive just watched you both for 15 hours brilliant entertainment, 2 working class blokes , honest, articulate and so koswnledgible , im made up.
Love your tenacity Rob sussing that one out. Definitely a Professor Gadget moment, the look of glee on your face 😃 Chris straight into action on the jig sorting the crash site at the rear of the vehicle. This will be a classy motor for somebody 👍🇬🇧😎😮
As an electrician of over 40 years I know how you feel fault finding and that satisfaction of fixing it . Well done for sticking at it Rob. You made me smile out loud lol. 😂😂
Well done Rob finding those broken wires, why do people worry that you are repairing these cars incorrectly one thing your not is cut and stitch merchants like we had in the 60s and 70s. Hope your luck keeps going.
Love how Rob got so excited to find the fault and wanted to get it fixed before Chris return. You guys are like brothers, Love it how you both support each other. This channel in my view probably is the best salvage rebuild Vlogs on You Tube. You know what your watching is just genuine info and no bull. Great work guys, looking forward to the number crunching.😁😁😁😁
Hi Rob my wife’s 10th generation had soy based insulation on the engine wiring harness they chewed the coil pack wiring an auto electrician told me to spray water mixed with peppermint oil around the engine bay the critters hate peppermint oil all the best Les👍👍👍
It was sooo good to see Chris's face when it fired up. Brought a smile to my face too. Great to see the pulling, I bet there are people out there who would have then just put a bumper and tailgate on a sold it on.
What a result and what a reaction Rob, you knew you had just saved yourself a major headache of testing individual wires. Now for Chris to work his magic. Crack on guys 👍
Rob,fair dues to you.I was all excited and waiting with hope that it fixed it too.Your delight of it starting had me smiling and feeling chuffed for ye both.
Maybe a coincidence, but as a Pest Control Manager, it's interesting to note that the rats had an interest in chewing the blue wires, which is one of the regular colours that the majority of baits come in.
So many times been in that position looking for an issue. The joy is immense when you finally find the cause. On a side note. I strongly advise a safety strap when pulling with the dozer. Great video
The rewards of persevering through challenges are numerous. When we persist through difficulties, we develop resilience, strengthen our character, and ultimately achieve success. So, the next time you encounter a challenge, remember the rewards that await you and keep persevering.
LIN communication is similar to canbus but single wire… it’s used for non important things; but its master and slave… the master unit asks for info; the slave responds on the same wire. But because it’s single wire you have an issue at one module or connection, you get faults galore! Had a similar issue with a bmw m5 with water pump issues as it uses LIN for them also. Good spot! I recon it was probably the brake pedal switch that cause the ignition to not come on properly though, as you need the brake pedal to start.
Well done Repairing the wiring down in the footwell its giving me cramp just watching it. When wiring in the future it’s well worth getting some fabric loom tape, just looks a bit tidier and doesn’t squeak
Well chuffed for ya mate 👍glad to hear Chris free from his cold and is back to robot mode bloke is like a machine 😂 great team guys love all your videos thanks
The sense of relief in the workshop was palpable! Heroic effort by Rob proves yet again that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration
Great work Rob, huge relief when you find and resolve the issue, especially when it comes to electrics! Now for the metalwork maestro Chris to turn it round.
Superb problem-solving, Rob, nice to see you fix it and give Chris a pleasant surprise. Chris's work on the puller really worked a treat, as you say the back is looking in really good order. 👍👍👍
Oh, the joys of Rat Urine. Not many people have the pleasure of coming so close to that experience. Haven't ever seen you quite as happy as this before. Great work, and Great Video, Rob.
Hi Guys just wanted to say well done for sorting the bmw out I new it would be simple it’s just finding it being an ex beater and now semi retired and a VDA it’s lovely to see a car on a jig we just don’t to it anymore plus not many people today know how to use a jig I have access to methods if you ever need any help keep up the great work Simon
Chris is one cool customer! I can see it now "Hi Chris you have won £5 million on the lottery" Chris would give a wry grin and say " that's nice we thought that would happen."
I have to say Rob, I found myself getting as excited as you with that wiring and I even punched the air when it started - well done Sir, well done!! You've actually inspired me to now get my E60 back from the garage that's ignored it for a year and fix its crank, no start fault myself (before anyone asks, I'm an electronics engineer by trade).
Incredible really. I am very happy for you, tremendous patience and strength of character. Well done. I hope you do really well out of this one, very very interesting as always. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Rob and Chris (hope Chris is feeling better?) What a great result Rob after your searching the wiring. So good to get Chris to start up the engine, priceless!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire!!
Well done guys . Chris is very thorough with that rear end ensuring it's repaired to a very high standard. I looked at a new one of these in the dealer and it was retailing at £44,000. 3 series is a nice driver.
Rats are a bugger. I live rural Scotland and they eat my washer fluid lines on my truck; they're attracted to the heat from the engine bay in the winter. I made a sheet metal box that is wheeled over the front on the truck, and slides underneath. Acting as a cage of sorts to stop them getting in the engine bay. Not perfect, but it works...for now.
Credit to you for getting it running and going the extra mile to repair it right. We all know you guys don’t mess about and do all the cars 100% but so many other people would pull that out and call it a day 😅
Rats and mice, love plastic wires --- its the plasticizer to make it flexible. Same in sheet plastic sheet material -- does not do them much good but they cant resist the stuff. Need to get all that carpet and seats Steam Cleaned
Rob, you're always singing Chris's praises.... Well take a bow yourself..Well done indeed 👌
It's a horrible place to be when you are searching for a fault like that but the feeling when you eventually find it makes it all worth it. Well done Rob.

We'll done finding that bitten wire and getting the car started. Absolutely brilliant. Very clever.
Rob sheer enthusiasm is really good to watch sometimes 😁
That was hilarious, I actually thought Rob was going to explode when the car started,pure Joy!
When that car started and you got out with that infectious smile you had 317,000 followers doing the same,, I even through in a clap 👏👏👏👏👏👏
Jesus, Chris literally has only one emotion and certainly it isn’t uncontrollable joy or laughter 😂😂 great video boys
Why arent you on tv , ive just watched you both for 15 hours brilliant entertainment, 2 working class blokes , honest, articulate and so koswnledgible , im made up.
Never say never rob ,well done to you for getting involved, seriously well done mate
Genuinely invested in both of you now fellas. Love the channel, the challenges and the effort. You both deserve everything you get.
Love your tenacity Rob sussing that one out. Definitely a Professor Gadget moment, the look of glee on your face 😃 Chris straight into action on the jig sorting the crash site at the rear of the vehicle. This will be a classy motor for somebody 👍🇬🇧😎😮
Well done Rob, took some perseverance to find the issue👍.Going to be lovely after you boys have worked your magic!
What a great result, well done to you for keeping going and finding those wires. Brilliant.
A pleasure to watch honest, truthful professionals.
As an electrician of over 40 years I know how you feel fault finding and that satisfaction of fixing it . Well done for sticking at it Rob. You made me smile out loud lol. 😂😂
When that started, I probably smiled as big as you did Rob. Well done mate...!!!
Absolutely love your passion when you shout yes. A man who truly loves his job. Well done :-)
Well done Rob finding those broken wires, why do people worry that you are repairing these cars incorrectly one thing your not is cut and stitch merchants like we had in the 60s and 70s. Hope your luck keeps going.
Fair play to you Rob. You were on a mission and weren't going to stop till you'd found the issue. 👏
Just witnessing your excitement and enthusiasm, Rob, makes all your videos so great to watch.
Great find Rob, another great video lads, Chris your skills with bodywork are exceptional as always ❤
Love Chris's crafrtsmanship and attention to detail! He can envisage how a 'crash' has happened!
Your excitement t getting that to crank and start is totally infectious… love your enthusiasm Rob..
Love the joy in Robs giggling….after a huge headache… Chris - master of the jig and unpicking. - Always a pleasure to watch you both 👍
The sheer joy in your voice whae you found it and then again when it started was fkn Quality. Good on ya Rob. Legend
Rob I really love your determination and never give up attitude.
Great job finding the broken wires Rob. Your perseverance finally paid off. Hope the rest of the repair is a bit easier.
Love how Rob got so excited to find the fault and wanted to get it fixed before Chris return. You guys are like brothers, Love it how you both support each other.

Hi Rob my wife’s 10th generation had soy based insulation on the engine wiring harness they chewed the coil pack wiring an auto electrician told me to spray water mixed with peppermint oil around the engine bay the critters hate peppermint oil all the best Les👍👍👍
I'm going to try that - thanks.
2:14 take dash out..easier to get to and you could confirm there’s no chewed wires behind the dash..
It was sooo good to see Chris's face when it fired up. Brought a smile to my face too. Great to see the pulling, I bet there are people out there who would have then just put a bumper and tailgate on a sold it on.
It shows how well you two work together. I hope you never fall out.
Fantastic job to you both, no luck involved but just skill and experience.
Said it before and will say it again, Chris & Rob would make an awesome version of Wheeler Dealers for TV, the detail and quality work is top notch.
Ace. Your reaction Rob is priceless! 😀
What a result and what a reaction Rob, you knew you had just saved yourself a major headache of testing individual wires.
Now for Chris to work his magic.
Crack on guys 👍
Big win! I love the feeling when you sort something like this out,nothing else like it.
Love watching the jig pulls. Camera in the boot was a great view.
Well done for persevering, we all feel your joy. Forgive us but our household have nicknamed this car the Ratmobile.
I was excited for you Rob, genuinely seeing your happiness when it started, love the surprise.
Rob,fair dues to you.I was all excited and waiting with hope that it fixed it too.Your delight of it starting had me smiling and feeling chuffed for ye both.
Well played Rob what a reaction when you found the issue
Nice work on finding the fault Rob I love it when you get so excited 😂, as always Chris is doing a great job on the bodywork,love the videos.
The smug look when them codes cleared😂 loved that
Well done Rob
Great satisfaction tracking down and solving that problem yourself and not having to call someone else in.
Maybe a coincidence, but as a Pest Control Manager, it's interesting to note that the rats had an interest in chewing the blue wires, which is one of the regular colours that the majority of baits come in.
The rat must have had a torch.

Well done Rob what a find! Chris makes light work of that back panel what a perfectionist!!

You have that perseverance Rob, I would have said sod it and sent it for scrap ! I hate wiring issues. Yippee well done.
Gents - I continue to be amazed with the work you do to get rid of damage like that. Amazing stuff.

‘It’s quite straightforward actually’ 😂😂 No it’s not! Chris is a genius & it’s only straightforward for him!!!
The sense of relief in the workshop was palpable!
Heroic effort by Rob proves yet again that genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration

Hi Guys just wanted to say well done for sorting the bmw out I new it would be simple it’s just finding it being an ex beater and now semi retired and a VDA it’s lovely to see a car on a jig we just don’t to it anymore plus not many people today know how to use a jig I have access to methods if you ever need any help keep up the great work Simon
Chris is one cool customer! I can see it now "Hi Chris you have won £5 million on the lottery" Chris would give a wry grin and say " that's nice we thought that would happen."
Surely the sense of achievement and stuff you’ve learnt is part of the value of this project
Best have the lot out that lads, dash seats and all. You never know what else is bare but not broken.
Little Roland’s have been all through that
Hi Rob and Chris,nice work Rob that moment you know it will start is good.Chris was happy with it.and it is moveable to sort out the boot.
I have to say Rob, I found myself getting as excited as you with that wiring and I even punched the air when it started - well done Sir, well done!! You've actually inspired me to now get my E60 back from the garage that's ignored it for a year and fix its crank, no start fault myself (before anyone asks, I'm an electronics engineer by trade).
Incredible really. I am very happy for you, tremendous patience and strength of character. Well done. I hope you do really well out of this one, very very interesting as always. Thank you for sharing.
Hello Rob and Chris (hope Chris is feeling better?) What a great result Rob after your searching the wiring. So good to get Chris to start up the engine, priceless!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire!!
Nice one rob, finding the chewed wires was brilliant, well pleased for you and Chris 👍
You was like a kid in a toy shop when it started. Well done.
Rob bless you that was a stroke of luck mate to have that wire drop out. Love how excited you got. I'd be the same . Well done mate. 😊
Love to see Robs face when he found the problem you need to frame that little Blue wire for prosperity great video again
You’ve not wasted 10k you always repair things like this and you always crack on guys keep it up
2013 bmw onwards have such thin metal it’s unbelievable.. I know from pulling a few 1 series f series
Another good video gents. Interesting watch. It’ll be another nice car put back on the road and properly done by you two as well. Cheers!
I'd keep the window open and leave my cat in there 😂
(I wouldn't, but she'd enjoy it)
Rob, you join the genius club, amazing.
Well done Rob perseverance wins through, hope Chris is getting better still looks not at himself
Well done guys . Chris is very thorough with that rear end ensuring it's repaired to a very high standard. I looked at a new one of these in the dealer and it was retailing at £44,000. 3 series is a nice driver.

10 out of 10 for your persistence.👍
