"Brand new 2nd hand battery", Stop it Rob, you're killing me!🤣🤣
He really makes me laugh every time he says that Charlie
Shout out to the lorry driver
Great vid guys. The consistency and frequency of your content is outstanding. I used to watch Wheeler Dealers and all the re-runs but now I don’t bother as your content is always fresh and authentic.
And you guys do this day in, day out, always on time with limited resources while running a business. You achieve so much more than these big ticket productions with budgets and camera teams.
KUDOS to you both - keep it going. 1m subs is gonna happen and it’s gonna be 100% well deserved.
It's a good formula isn't it. No silly editing for the sake of it. It's fully honest. If theirs a mistake or set back it's left in. Hopefully it doesn't change
"Brand new, second hand battery" - Rob, you must have been in sales...😂
Made me laugh too, also his bag of worms.
Glad you broke your own rule and showed a Fiat 500 again, every job is different you’ve done on the 500 so not boring at all. Well done Lads.
19:15 That steering wheel boss looks all bashed in?
Another great video with useful content, I am so pleased your channel has support from other companies helping out, a great shout out for Silverlake, for going the extra mile, a great use of resources collecting the vehicle, saving you a journey. Keep them coming Chris, Rob
' Fit that Brand New Second Hand Battery' 😂😂 Rob you make me laugh! Thankyou
Respect to Silverlake for looking after you!! And what a bag of spaghetti wiring! Good job you and Chris are well versed in 500’s!
"Brand new second hand battery"! Love it Rob, I had a good laugh at that one 🤪
‘Fit that brand new 2nd hand battery’
Has to be on the new merch
Classic
We do certainly enjoy electrical gremlin diagnosis and fixes, it drives home and pro mechanics nuts the best of times so imo it always worth watching. Appreciate the variety guys
Good evening Rob and Chris. Nice little video, what a great company helping you out with the delivery.
I’m sure you and Chris will sort it out.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
This brought back a lot or old memories of the start of the channel. 😀
With the number of 500's you've done in the past, I don't see you having to much of a problem sorting this wee car out Rob. 👌👍
Nice one Rob. It’s a lovely little car, and by the time you and Chris work your magic on it , it will be perfect.
Always good to watch how you diagnose the faults so I’m looking forward to the next video on this car.
Another interesting video Rob….cheers.
enjoy the video on the Fiat 5oo, looking forward to the diagnostic video on sorting out the electrical gremlins, keep up the great work Rob and Chris, never miss a post, love the white runners
“Brand new second hand battery” you make me chuckle mate 😂
Another great video. Great to see a Fiat 500 back again, it’s like going back in time on the channel. Thanks for your ongoing efforts in providing excellent content, stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏽🙂
Appreciate all the time and effort you both put into the video's. Also for inviting us share your every day work practice and sharing your knowledge. Thank You.
Cracking video Rob - you can picture how nice this motor will look when you have finished it. The electrical fault finding will certainly make for interesting viewing, cannot wait for the next instalment.
Thanks for sharing what you do Rob. Takes me back to where I grew up. Glad you’ve got hold of another 500. I picked one up for my Mrs last year, which has been a lovely little car. Standard problems but easy enough to to work on, even for a novice like myself. Keep the videos coming mate 👍🏽
Great idea for content Rob, will look forward to the video on the diagnostics of the electrical gremlins, will be very interesting & hopefully between you and Chris it can be solved! Keep up the great work & thank you both.
Can't beat a brand new 2nd hand battery Rob 😉👍 loving the backing music on this one too!!
Just a thought...depending on how the odometer system is designed, the actual driven mileage of the car could be much less than the indicated mileage. It's possible that all the towed mileage has been counted as well, which would reduce the driven mileage by a lot! This was the case with the old fashioned speedo cable days but nowadays, who knows?
Hi Rob and Chris, nice...Good buy and an electrical fault to sort, looking forward to this. Cheers, Alex.
There’s a true craftsman, working on a gravel drive to remove the bumper and not losing one fastener!👍
Awesome work from Silverlake & who knows what the future might hold there...... Creacking little bit of footage from their driver too. these do make good content when the issues are unusual, I did notice the MOT miles are out, to the odo reading & also the damage to the steering wheel logo - not sure it that's a part of the airbag but it does let it down a bit. The car looks great & I'm sure will make fabulous content and a great ride for someone. Given used car prices these are going to be popular when they come up for sale.
Morning Rob. Nice video with some technical fault finding for us on TH-cam 😀 Excited waiting to see the fix on the little Fiat 500 🤔 Just love what ever your fixing on Salvage Rebuilds even if it’s the same care every time 🤩 Cheers Stevie 😎
Nice video as always Rob, my guess is the common fault (wire in the boot) has messed up other electric modules. I’m sure that you’ll fix the problem in not time because you and Chris are professional car 🚘 experts and the best TH-cam channel. Keep up the effort 👍and I look forward to seeing the problem being solved 😃 in the next upload of the Fiat 500.
another great video and it's not what you know its who you know as it was good of silverlake to deliver that car to you and it was good to see the driver loading the car for you aswell as most wouldn't have bother filming goes to show you have a good repore with the company can't wait to see the end result keep them coming mate💯💯💯💯👍👍👍
I went down to Silverlake to look at bonnet for my 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Absolutely brilliant service - stripped it from the vehicle so that I could inspect it before buying, came with brackets, bolts, washer pipes, clips etc. It was perfect and in colour for £100. Really professional.
Great video Rob. We had on the 500 hatch two broken wires where the loom went from the roof into the hatch . I had to cut back and run new wire. It was due to flexing of the loom at Thant point. Looks as if these cars are a bit weak on electrics. I look forward to seeing you fix it and I know you will!
Your channel is one of my more recent subs. Love the content, interesting and results in a few vids instead of weeks and weeks. Keep it up, lads! 😎😎🍺🍺
Yes enjoyed it. Quick and neat, a nice little teaser for the next one. Looking forward to the diagnosis and fix. Knowing Rob I bet he gave the Silverlake driver a drink.
Isn’t it nice to see someone who actually knows what he’s doing instead of someone who says maybe this maybe that? Rob and Chris have the knowledge about Fiat 500,s so nothing phases them, brilliant!!!
Very good Rob, going to be a nice little car especially with its brand new second hand battery, love it!
Rob, i had a bit of truck envy for you. What a rig that was. Really great bit of co-working with Silverlake, top job.
Another great video!! Love your work and your attitudes most of all. Good guys!!
I have one of these and I had a roof and boot issue however I found out there is a reset routine for the roof. I found this out on the fiat 500 forums. I got that issue sorted and now the only regular issue I get is the stop start disconnecting even after a getting a new battery. Mine is a twin air lounge and is on 90,000 miles now however it’s a great little car in my opinion. You guys are amazing, another great video Rob and I look forward to the conclusion of it. 😀
The new battery may need coding to the car
Great content Rob - I can see Chris doing an interesting "deep dive" on all that electrics. As you said its probably all to do with the towing gear
Hi lads. Just wanted to say to you both as you’ve been an inspiration to me, after breaking my leg and ankle back in August I discovered you two chaps on TH-cam and I’ve had two operations and I’ve been off my feet since the 20th August and still off my feet and you lads have been such fantastic and interesting viewing. Better than anything on sky because your so genuine. Really has kept my spirits up and I can’t wait to start messing about with my cars again soon. Well January I’m told before I’m on my feet but loving it lads. Keep up the brilliant work and look forward to watching more videos. Lee
Silver lake seems like a great company and the staff are great from what I’ve seen on your videos Rob, that’s going to be an interesting fix video on the 500C 👍🏻
Hi fellas, I love the content in every video you two do. I love to see the thought process in the fault finding and I am always very happy when you discover the problem and sort it out. The music in the time lapse segments was bloody awful in this one. Sorry, I hate to whinge when I get terrific free content from you two but I like your more mellow regular stuff. Thanks again, keep em coming 👍
Mileage discrepancy, Rob?? Car Vertical said 83k. The dash says 47k. You'll have fun sorting out those electrics - good luck fellas!
Hi Rob and Chris yet again a great video thank you take care both 😀☺️
Yes Rob and Chris cheers for the vid always intriguing content! Great whilst having my hot brew 😎👍
Great video guys 👍🏻 looks like it will be a good car in the end once you've sorted the sparks but that awesome Silverlake driver deserves a bloody good bonus 🙂👌🏻
my daughter has a Panda that was a towed car.I found a plug for the lights up inside the RH wing behind the headlamp.Its similar to a 7 pin plug used for towing.Also there is a heavy duty cable attached to the brake pedal presumably to help assist when braking
Great video as always, i used to have a smart fortwo with the motorhome brackets on and had terrible problems with the electrics, it turned out to be the wiring to power the lights for towing, had it taken out and all the problems disappeared.
love it Rob, some of those cars that are towed by motorhomes have a brake vacuum system fitted so they brake when the motorhome brakes,, might be worth a look
You seem confident that the Fiat 500 is salvageable & interesting for the viewer to follow, thats good enough for me.
👍👍😁
Hi Rob. A Fiat 500! Just like old times!! Happy memories of earlier days on the channel. Thanks for another first rate video.
What a brilliant company for them to do that for you both such lovley lads good luck with the diagnosis of that am sure you both will sort it 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Mmmm can't wait to see the next installment of this one it will be interesting to see what you find good luck with it guys. Great video as always
Good little car and great video rob, think you have hit the nail on the head with the electrics I would say someone has removed relays or a module associated with it being coupled to a motor home and either left a lot of cut wires or got them mixed up and also maybe lost the earth to them as well. You could probably save a lot of time by asking the previous owner who done the conversion on it to allow the motorhome to control its lights then ringing them and asking them how they convert a cars lights to be operated by a motorhome
The Fiat 500's are lovely little cars I love them and by the time you Chris sprinkled some mage on it, it would be a perfect little car for someone to enjoy
It’s great for us viewers seeing you open up a can/bag of worms on a new project, just proves that you guys are genuine and take the good and the bad and the ugly once you’ve purchased a vehicle, brilliant that you guys are adamant that cars are repaired and sold in top notch condition… I would not hesitate purchasing a car from you both.
Great. Can’t wait to see the outcome and how it’s solved. This is CSI for cars. Love it.
Rob as you're always wearing training shoes have you thought of getting a pair with steel toecaps to give yourself some form of protection especially as you do some quite heavy lifting at times ?
I like the ''brand new second hand battery!'' Keep up the good work.
Nice little project. You may want to change the steering wheel air bag as that looked dented on the chrome trim 👍. Nice easy one for you guys.
“Popped a screwdriver in the Schrader valve” - you mean you hooked up your gauges and checked the system pressure to ensure there was no chance of venting refrigerant to atmosphere😉😉
It's only butane like an aerosol, not CFCs these days
@@jamesbrett6518 they need to be professionally emptied at breakers so as not to cause environmental harm so doubt its butane.
Half the condenser was missing I knew it was empty it has rotted out and gone to atmosphere
Noticed the temp sensor isn't working, that stops the roof from folding so check the passenger door mirror as thats where it should be.
It’s working
Chris & Rob that the best news today lol .... I always knew we would see a fiat 500c on this channel as after all its your car of choice bud lol... we love any build from Ferrari to lards .. Fiat 500 ... lets go young men ( chis included ) cool ... longer videos needed in winter months Rob and more is better if you can find time
Love it. "Then I will fit the Brand New second hand battery" keep it up mate.
Well done Rob. You boys make me smile. I’m a long time watcher and the formula is working. Nice style, interesting and keeping it fresh. Your in the wrong job.
Always good to see the fiat 500 back & this having an electric fault will be interesting to watch the fix 👍
Loving the content Rob and Chris keep up the good work.
Love the channel, you do the cars most of us can afford. It keeps it all real.
Guys, the mileage doesn't match what was shown on your car vertical check at the start.
Nice little car. Those 500's always look good, no matter how old.
Great video rob , what a lovely car will be nice when done , can’t believe how helpful silverlake were top blokes 👍👍
Thanks for the video, interesting that the car vertical mileage check is different to what’s on the car
I just love you guys when you get these " Rubic cube jobs " knowing full well that you won't peel off the colored squares you and Chris will soon sort it out 😊
Brand new, second hand !. Never mind the quality, feel the width !. Love it !
You must be part italian by now !!!!!! Well done, great content as per usual chris and roberto!!!! 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Has the horn / steering wheel airbag had a bang? On film it looked like the onside of a steel drum.
Yeah, I noticed that also. Looks a right mess!
Playing catch up boys with the last four videos. A thousand apologies. All great contents lads as usual. Love these quick flips. Keep doing what you do. Stay safe boys 🍺🍺✊🏼
love it... "Brand New 2nd Hand Battery!", True Salesman ;)
Going to be an interesting one watching you sorting the electrics out and bigup silverlake for help with collection and delivery
Nice to see Fiat 500 back on the channel! Your bread n butter motor & a nod to the old days. Got to give props to Silverlake for looking after you but I hope Chris got a bodywarmer too! 😂
16:30 I’m gonna fit that brand new 2nd hand battery 😂
Makes me chuckle….bit like our welsh valleys……i’ll do it now in a minute
Good on the silverlake driver 👍👍Look forward to seeing you tackle the electrical faults on this.
Brilliant channel guys.
"Brand new second hand battery" and "bag of worms".
Love the catch phrases Rob!
Nice video guys 👍
Be nice to see it working and looking as it should.
I think you are right and a lot of the problems are the tow lighting could be best place to start.
Hi Rob, top work I love all the videos you and Chris keep putting out 👍🏻 I work for Fiat and if it helps there is a wiring loom repair kit available from Fiat, also in regards to the range not showing up on the Speedo, these did suffer with faulty Speedo/clocks, we replaced so many of these under warranty. I'm not saying that's definitely the problem but it's something to consider if you don't get to the route of the problem. I hope this helps! Keep up the good work 👍🏻
Rob, if you put a fully discharged battery on a trickle charger for a couple of days it will take and hold a charge. The needle may take a day to move and when up to max will then come back down to zero when full.
This is such a cute little car, it will be lovely when finished❤️
Good of Silverlake to help you out like that. Keep the videos coming, great content.
Can vouch that these little cars are easy to work on even by amateur mechanics. I've been working on my North American 2015 Fiat 500 Abarth for a year and a half, doing routine maintenance, a few repairs, and a decent number of mods! I do most of the work at a local DIY garage which has car lifts, tools and proper disposal facilities. The garage is run by a professional mechanic who double-checks your work to make sure everything's safe and sound.
Don't try doing a clutch on an Abarth - it's a nightmare.
Nice little car. Fascinating how the electrics are repaired. Good vid.
Looking forward to the next vid on this. Thanks guys 👍
Brand new second hand keep on waffling Rob.
Great video
That was a great gesture from Silverlake, and the transporter driver. It's a lovely car, I hope the electrical issues are a straight forward repair. One thing I did notice was the steering wheel. Has the Fiat emblem been dented in on the horn push/airbag?
They all do it 👍
Love these vids especially seeing cars being saved from the scrap heap :) . Imagine the mi range is blank just because it's had no power and system doesn't save what you last average MPG was to calculate it :) will go away once it's driven.
Wow what a great little car 👍🏼 Rob and Chris you get some cracking deals 👍🏼
Hope the electrics work out ok for an easy flip. They do look easy to work on, especially when you explain the process. Cheers Rob.
I feel a new tee shirt logo coming on.. “Just off the bat”! 😂😂😂
Great video. Looks like it will be a good car, hopefully the electrical issue will be easy to sort.
