Like others have said, you can't keep letting co-part get away with it, it's not the first time it's happened to you (or others). You've got enough visibility with the channel now that you can get them to play ball. The more people hold them accountable the more (hopefully) they'll sort their sh*t out.
Bought one from them as a running and driving car, running was all correct but not sure can say was driving with one wheel pointing wherever the hell it wanted… luckily I had noticed in pictures they were pointing in different directions. Still struggled to move it 10ft though.
Rob your the apprentice and very lucky to learn from a very talented guy like Chris and keeping the garage full with cars and parts yous are a great team and good friends
Rob you are brilliant in your own right. Neither of you would be as happy or successful with out the other. The sum is greater than its parts. Thanks Gentlemen
I once watched a video of a guy on here with a stolen Audi which had been stamped and he ground that out and used an acid kit to bring the original number back through to the top of the surface
Rob there’s a dye you can use to enhance the number that’s been ground off I used it when I lived and worked in the states for the police on firearms and the likes of that it’s an acid based product
I buy stolen and recovered Range Rovers/Land Rovers from Copart and 9 times out of 10, they need a new battery. AGM batteries do not like to be stood/discharged. Have recently just purchased a 21 plate E-pace facelift from Copart which apparently had petrol poured on the seats, turned out to be someone spilled a bit of diesel inside…. Got a bargain for that reason. Also just won a 71 plate Evoque today, will most likely need a battery! Keep it up with the content, it’s always enjoyable to watch!
The number plate man didn't have stock to make a numberplate. Was his name Trigger? Love the enthusiasm. And the forklift nobber should have one inserted where the sun don't shine. Not up there, in the right eyeball.
I remember you changing the battery on that jump pack.. and I done the same, I realised the wall charger doesn’t do it it any good and doesn’t charge it properly.. so now I use a 12v car battery charger.
They do so much damage using fork lifts on the cars and in general around yard, even after purchase. It should be as described but the caveat their contracts so theres no come back and its all on you, wouldn’t be to bad but their costs eat up nearly all the profit in the vehicle so you are left out of pocket.
@@geoffaries Copart no longer allow personal visits to inspect. They instead are happy to charge £10 for a 10 minute video call with one of their staff going around the car. I've done that with a couple of cars which I wanted for myself, but not worth it for a trader who's considering buying one of possibly many cars on their shortlist. Just another money earner by Copart, after a sale allowing them to tell an unhappy buyer that they had the choice of a video call inspection. Copart can't be trusted !
Yes! I bought a little mito and it had more damage on than listed, but I still got a decent car out of it, I do wonder though why the pictures are so poor quality. Looks like they've been taken on an ancient phone
Nice one guys I’m not only amazed at Chris’s skill level but also how the heck does he remember where everything is, I can’t even remember what tools I have, ( builders tools) that is , great post again guys really turning the vehicles around these days, when I think about some of the wrecked ones that you started the channel with, 👍
That means that copart can swap/ take any parts from vehicles, 'accidently' trash them and generally take liberties with those terms and conditions, who can complain and by your attitude to it who does 🤬, get out of jail free card.
Hello BOTH. Very interesting video, I found it frustrating as you did in trying to get the car to start and the electrics to work - eventually!! Always a concern when the chassis number has been tampered with, but a good and honest rectification. Looking forward to the next video. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
Rob-Chris; In the past where you had a car that required a routine service (oil-filters pads etc) you would clearly mention this in the video. I don't remember you doing this recently ????.
Interesting discussion on VIN number. I’d replicate what the local PD did on the engine compartment and create a new plate made up that includes telephone number of PD on it.
Hi Rob and Chris,great work on this Range Rover Evoque.with a charge and sorted things out it started 😄.with reclomet parts it's back to a good car on the exterior.
Hi Rob. The small grey stickers are POLEXAM stickers and are fitted by police stolen vehicle examiners when the identity of the car has been changed. The false id is removed and those stickers are fitted with a unique ref number. The telephone number is for a company called retainagroup who store the true details of the vehicle which is recorded against the unique ref number on the labels. 👍
Great video guys. Really love your content generally and this one was great for being a but different. Really interesting to hear how you deal with stolen and recovered stuff and how it used to be.
My aunt had an E pace with the same running gear she only did 900 miles in 2 years and it ate 3 brand new batteries. There's something about the electronics in them that drains the battery when not used for long periods of time.
Used to use Number stamps like those 40 years ago marking dining tables veneered sheets before cutting into sections. Also an old boy had a letter and number sets he'd lend to mark your personal woodworking tools.
Looks like another good earner fellas with hopefully not too much hard graft and bodywork take care fellas and stay lucky and healthy 👍 looking forward to Sundays video 📹 already 😊❤
The start of this video was comical Rob. I can't believe you tried to tell Chris it didn't run and the bonnet wouldn't open. Stop with the porkie pies mate. LOL
I was beginning to think it was cursed, had a living spirit in it. Everything Rob told Chris about something not happening, it happened! Handbrake came off, ignition worked, bonnet opened! Lights coming on themselves was another! Weird one
Hi Lads love watching the videos from Ireland. keep up the good work :) the chassis punches can still be bought new i only bought a set a few weeks back. looking foward to seeing the finished car :)
In South Africa you are not allowed to touch vin or engine numbers. If the car was stolen and the numbers where removed or damaged, the police will allocate a new number that will be stamped on the engine or chassis. Also an engine number cannot be transferred to a new engine. You are never allowed to restamp the original number.
A lot of cars now when the battery is low it dose affect the keys and comes up on dash not recognised just give the battery some juice and it will start 👍🏽
Great video as ever 👍 I've always been put off buying cars with altered/removed vins, but you've got me keen again now. Who issues the new vin number - is there always one of those little police badges when you get them from Copart? Cheers both for any advice 👍
Loving the plate stamp and consideration shown towards next owners! Did it read….S4LV4G3RE8U1D5 4R3 TH3 8E5T
Chris, is such a quality guy, a pleasure both listening to and watching him.

Everything Chris does is perfect lovely job on that number stamps 👍
Love the 'accidental' shot of Dean's GTR at the end. Can't wait to see you pulling that one straight!
you could use the autel to check if mileage matches on the onboard computer and correct vin.
What a shame we didn't meet Chris's dad, he must of given Chris so much knowledge. Great vid guys.
Rob absolutely Buzzing.. coffee jitters lol..see back of his head has been banging the head board again 😊
Rob your the apprentice and very lucky to learn from a very talented guy like Chris and keeping the garage full with cars and parts yous are a great team and good friends
Outstanding video & workmanship as always!! Thank you both very much!! 👏👏👏

Wowzer 🤷♂️👊
So funny .. The Number plate man didn't have any materials in stock 😀... That reminded me when i went to Spud u like and they'd run out of Potatoes !🤭
Looks like Deans GTR is going to get fixed at last 👍
Thought I recognised it from somewhere....

well done guy's. Chris as usual with his magic fingers looking forward to the final result

Fit that black grille. They really uplift the front end compared to those dull looking silver ones. Or you could always give the buyer the choice !
Lesson is, Copart's pictures mean absolutely nothing, and there terms and conditions are obviously all in there favour and not yours...
one way..thier way with copart.

It should be as described but the caveat their contracts so theres no come back and its all on you, wouldn’t be to bad but their costs eat up nearly all the profit in the vehicle so you are left out of pocket.
I've bought cars from copart, but never without viewing them first and taking photos at that time, can still do this?

What I appreciate with you guys, you have common senesce, which isn’t common anymore..! Great post as always, thanks 👍👍
Always a pleasure watching you too is there anything that chris can't do the man's a genius.
You can buy a new battery and fit it inside those red battery packs, only a few screws hold them together.
enjoyed this vid as all of them, keep up the great work Rob and Chris
So that's where Saving Salvages GTR has gone for the rear quarter replacing! Working in partnership with other UA-camrs!
A brilliant insight from Chris and yourself regarding how cars are altered 👍
I am enjoying this new motor and thanks for explaining about the chassis numbers.
It's definitely a cheeky sneek peak tease.... Robs a careful man with that camera.
The GTR looks like Dean's from Saving Salvage...
Nice one guys I’m not only amazed at Chris’s skill level but also how the heck does he remember where everything is, I can’t even remember what tools I have, ( builders tools) that is , great post again guys really turning the vehicles around these days, when I think about some of the wrecked ones that you started the channel with, 👍
Always enjoy your channel best of luck with everything ahead 🚙👍👍👍
Always great to watch gentlemen, thank you so much. Do well with that one.
That means that copart can swap/ take any parts from vehicles, 'accidently' trash them and generally take liberties with those terms and conditions, who can complain and by your attitude to it who does 🤬, get out of jail free card.
Good morning Rob and Chris, great video. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
Another fantastic buy guys, should be a quick flip !!
Another interesting video lads, lovely how Chris explains everything nowadays, what a team you make. 😊
Yeah back in the day stolen recovered used to go on a Q plate. Good old days lol,great video as always.👍
They only ever went on a q plate if they couldn’t determine the car’s original identity or if it was a kit car
Chris, you are an absolute genius. No job is ever too tough for you
You are both so honest & DTE with the boot V.I.N restoration 😊plate, thanks for sharing your experience and wisdom, Chris and Rob ❤
That car on the lift at the end of the video looks familiar. 🤔
Hi rob and Chris, great range rover, looks like one of the easy one lad's you have done. From marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Looking forward to you repairing Deans Nissan GTR!!! I spotted it sat there 😂
Hello BOTH. Very interesting video, I found it frustrating as you did in trying to get the car to start and the electrics to work - eventually!! Always a concern when the chassis number has been tampered with, but a good and honest rectification. Looking forward to the next video. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
How come insurance companies need full disclosure when you get insurance, but will not disclose a stolen recovered car
HA - the old- 'DO AS I SAY - NOT AS I DO'
As Rob said its all about getting as much money back as possible
One day someone from the discovery channel is going to see what all us subscribers love about your channel and snap you up!
Great video again thanks
Smart Key not recognised May Ben just the key fob battery low.
Great point observation 💯👏🤘👊
Top work again lads. hardest working men on UA-cam.
Rob-Chris; In the past where you had a car that required a routine service (oil-filters pads etc) you would clearly mention this in the video. I don't remember you doing this recently ????.
For the jump pack you need a noco GB150 you will never need another jump box again you will be very impressed
The chassis number is perfect for this channel
Quick sneak view of the Nissan!!
Interesting discussion on VIN number. I’d replicate what the local PD did on the engine compartment and create a new plate made up that includes telephone number of PD on it.
is that a GTR rob...
keep it up chaps
[i used to make a tag with "service bodyshell" stamped in, that used to confuse people...]
23:25 is that a Nissan gtr?
23:14 looks like it 😮
yep!
I suspect its Dean's from Saving Salvage.
@ actually you’re probably right! Makes sense. He needed someone to do the body work.
Looks like one of
Great video as always please you got a runner with not too much damage
Hi Rob and Chris,great work on this Range Rover Evoque.with a charge and sorted things out it started 😄.with reclomet parts it's back to a good car on the exterior.
Great video once again guys. Nice sneak peek of the Nissan skyline gtr I will look forward to seeing more on that. Thanks again guys take care x
Honest people you are
I take my hat off to you 👍
Why don't you have that battery pack serviced power point replace the internals or buy a js3000 top don . I favour the noco gbx 75
Wow free Damage with all cars .

Cracking video chaps and great to see you doing some new and different stuff. Best of luck getting this one finished and out of the door.
Rob stop swearing!😉 Looking forward to the next one on this. Thanks as always.👍
Great video guys. Really love your content generally and this one was great for being a but different. Really interesting to hear how you deal with stolen and recovered stuff and how it used to be.
I may have stated before. But you can get a honda engine with a car alternator work like a jump lead thingy but charges a car very quick and easy.
Cars seem to get worse at copart 🙄
My aunt had an E pace with the same running gear she only did 900 miles in 2 years and it ate 3 brand new batteries. There's something about the electronics in them that drains the battery when not used for long periods of time.

buy an odyssey pc545 battery and put into the jump pack will be better than it was when it was new
Yet another top clip guys.
The number plate guy didn't have materials in? He only has to stock plates and numbers 😂🤣
Is that Deans/saving salvage Nissan GTR?
As always guys great video and work. 👍👍👍👍
Looks like another good earner fellas with hopefully not too much hard graft and bodywork take care fellas and stay lucky and healthy 👍 looking forward to Sundays video 📹 already 😊❤
Look on your face when that bonnet opened. Classic, made me proper laugh.
keep up the good work rob im the bin man who you see doing your green bin
Some Fords used to put the lights on when the battery was knackered to run the battery flat to deter jump starting.
Extremely interesting video on cloned stolen vehicles it just goes to show there is still a massive loop hole in the system of such vehicles ❤
Range rover: money pits. Together with Jeep the last on the list of customer satisfaction...
you guys are always honest
Copart need to sort their act out. You don’t need this 💩..
You took that copart smack on that front end better than I would
I bought the car with the damage what is there to moan about 🤷♂️
Rob fill in the VIN Number in the boot & slam panel with Black Sharpie lol 😂.
The start of this video was comical Rob. I can't believe you tried to tell Chris it didn't run and the bonnet wouldn't open. Stop with the porkie pies mate. LOL
Nice gtr rob 😁 is that saving salvages one ? Think he got stuck with his cos he doesn’t have Chris’s expertise to be able to fix it 😁
I know they weren't planned but the comedy elements add loads to the video!
I was beginning to think it was cursed, had a living spirit in it. Everything Rob told Chris about something not happening, it happened! Handbrake came off, ignition worked, bonnet opened! Lights coming on themselves was another! Weird one
I knew it would start, it's the bulletproof 2.2.
Hi Lads love watching the videos from Ireland. keep up the good work :) the chassis punches can still be bought new i only bought a set a few weeks back. looking foward to seeing the finished car :)
Can do acid test on the chassis number location and X-ray the metal and get the numbers
another easy fix for you guys great work as always, loving the content ,keep it up guys..atb Steve
SALVA...on vin very close to salvage rebuilds ! 😉 was that a demo piece ..
No that’s how the landrover vins start 👍
In South Africa you are not allowed to touch vin or engine numbers. If the car was stolen and the numbers where removed or damaged, the police will allocate a new number that will be stamped on the engine or chassis. Also an engine number cannot be transferred to a new engine. You are never allowed to restamp the original number.
Can you buy your own jump pack?
A lot of cars now when the battery is low it dose affect the keys and comes up on dash not recognised just give the battery some juice and it will start 👍🏽
Great video as ever 👍 I've always been put off buying cars with altered/removed vins, but you've got me keen again now. Who issues the new vin number - is there always one of those little police badges when you get them from Copart? Cheers both for any advice 👍
Noco GB150. Best jump pack i have ever used.
Did not see Chris looking for coffee money
nice looking gtr there boys
