    WARNING: NEVER EVER go under a car even for a quick look if you're just using a trolley jack. Matt had an axle stand but it was in the middle of the car. I've seen a professional garage jack just give way without warning. As extra safety place blocks of wood under the tyres (or shove a wheel underneath. You can also use the car side jack as well. Stay safe!

      Indeed. It's no surprise though. The whole ethos of what this guy is doing is on the fringes of what is ethical and can only contribute towards other people taking great risks by encouraging them to put vehicles back on the road that should be scrapped and taken out of the loop completely.

      Matt is very careful to do repairs properly.
      Many times he's stated he could bodge, save money etc but that's not the way to do things, especially on high end stuff.
      That to me is a big part of the appeal of him and his channel - the jobs are done properly so the car will run and drive safely

    You had the right idea bridging fuse, but it needed to be a better connection, like a bolted earth strap or something. The cranking current will be causing a big voltage drop across your jump lead.

    I think it's the way you produce these videos and your constant excitement about the cars makes your channel fantastic. It's amazing how I'm on the edge of my seat while you explain what's going on with the car. 90 percent of the other car channels are so boring after 5 minutes but I can't get enough of your videos.

    When a BMW gets into an accident the battery terminal fuse gets disconnected to avoid any fires or sparks going to the engine bay that’s why it won’t crank. I worked at a dealership and there was a guy who crashed the car inside the dealership, airbags were deployed and BMW Techs had to disconnect battery terminal fuse because it was in limp mode.
