To put it in neutral, there’s a bolt underneath the car. You have to undo 40 spins. We have had a couple of these break down at work already. Happy to call and talk it through with you. Any of help, just message. I work at Fiat so happy to help.
Thanks for all the great content over the last year. You are absolutely my favourite channel by a country mile, So have a great Christmas guys and a drink on me
On the drivers side ,under neath so you can see transmission module, there will be a black canistor located at the gearbox module as the car has no gear box but the foward neutral etc, is located here , remove cap,using a T25 driver bit rotate clockwise for 18 /20 turns this should unlock park and the vehicle can be moved, make sure vehicle is chocked as it could roll, good luck on the Fiat ,by the way that fiat will take on all the cars in yard to 60 mph
Vauxhall/Opel was purchased by PSA in 2016 , they then merged with Chrysler / fiat and formed Stellantis, to get it out of Park you can undo the Park Finger , needs to be turned 80 times , that motor looks like the same one as we fit to the Vans up North. Badged, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen, Opel and Fiat , badge engineering at it's best. Any advice on how it works get in touch. By the way make sure you charge the 12v battery while it's off or it will not go into ready mode. Plus recharge the Aircon.
Really enjoyed the ebay part of the video that showed all the different parts you are looking for and the sellers and prices - keep that a feature in future videos if you can :) Thanks, thumbs up.
I would seriously look at spending a grand of your future profit from this single vehicle doing a suite of high voltage ⚡ EV training modules. This vehicle is a gift. Use the opportunity to be safe, live long and prosper.
As an EV owner and driver for over 10 years and a certified Electric Head (According to the wife) am glad to see you working on them, and you have your self a bargain the battery pack alone is worth well over 6k as that's what 5yo+ Renault Zoe ZE40 parks go for on ebay
worked on an ecorsa recently, main reason it would not start was fan motor damage and those brown relays for it on the left. as soon as we plugged in the new one and replaced the relay and some fuses it was fine. since electric motor and batteries depend on the coolant, it will not activate with no fan motor communication. 2021 corsa, used the autel diagnostics.
Perhaps this: "Yes, the Park lock can be released manually. The transmission locking pawl is activated by a small electric motor, mounted at the top front of the alloy casing near to the air conditioner compressor. There is a small hole in the end of the black steel body of the motor, filled by a rubber bung. Remove the bung and insert an Allen key ( 6-sides, probably 2.5, 3, or 4mm ). Ensure the transmission is not under load from drag or the weight of the vehicle, then rotate the Allen key about 25 times. I don't know the direction to turn, maybe it does not matter - try clockwise first."
Mega Car - guys - These guys need to be on Quest - sod Car SOS or Drew Pritchard - this is what the petrol heads needs and the public would know how to save money from the rip offs, the information on part numbers would save the public loads of money, go guys have a great festive period - well done I say - Jason
If you ever have problems moving cars due to wheels locked or handbrake will not release, use baking trays under the wheels for easier moving both on and off the truck or on concrete/gravel surfaces.
If it's anything like my old 500e there is a park release on the end of the transmission. Looks a bit like an oil filter housing with a rubber bung in the end. Remove the bung and you can wind the park off with a t20 or t25, can't quite remember which. It takes quite a lot of turns. Access is from underneath.
I’m in the same boat currently. Got hold of a 2022 500E RED edition for £1950 doesn’t run like yours. But with 12v I can put it in neutral and take parking brake off. I was told it will run with a reflash of the system but needs all electrical Items replaced first. Let me know how you get on.
I'm not a big fan of EVs but if anyone can demystify how to repair them safely - and bring that cost of repair down to 'normal' levels - then that can only be a good thing. And you are the guys who can do it. Merry Christmas!
@@Snartifartblast yes it’s wierd to think that in ten years time traditional “servicing” ( ie oil,plugs and filter changes) will be a thing of the past and young mechanics will effectively be electricians!
Rob is like a child opening his Christmas present love to see it good luck to you both you make my day and I need it after loosing my wife to cancer in the last few weeks
@@trevorg2128 I’m sorry for your loss Trevor, it’s something we all dread as we get older. I hope you have a family or good friends that you can spend some time with during Christmas. Bless you mate. 🖖
Stellantis Group owns Peugeot, Citroen, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Fiat (and Abarth), Dodge, DS automobiles, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel(Vauxhall) and RAM so a lot of parts may cross over all these brands.
I don't know how to get it in neutral, but a drive shaft will probably come out pretty easily. And that will probably be easier than spending hours figuring out how to trick the trans.
Fiat, Vauxhall, Peugeot and Citreon are all parts of the massive Stellantis Group. Parts are shared around the whole range to cut the cost of production. Good luck with the parts search guys.
Good morning guys 😊 Your channel is so magical and love how you both talk to each other and sort things out 👍🏻 Josh is a diamond 💎 I think it’ll be a nice little earner and make fantastic content on salvage rebuilds 🤩
Hi chris and rob in your conversation with josh actually fiat is owned by stellantis who own Peugeot citroen vauxhall jeep Maserati hence why all the parts similar. Another good project finishing off the year as you started... looking forward to 2025 merry Christmas lads
I just want to reach out and say what an absolute joy and pleasure it is watching you guys. Season’s greetings and prosperous new year as you continue on into 2025 🎄👊🏼❤️
I can’t possibly see how you can go wrong with this. Like EV’s or not, your inbox will be red hot when time comes to move it on. Your channel is addictive 👍
Hi rob and Chris, good luck with the wee bitsa car, hope you both have a merry Christmas and Happy new year, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
cant lose at that, price its worth more in parts than you paid for it !!! its going to make a nice car for some one and hopefully a good return for you guys 👍
It shares its platform with the Peugeot e208 and e2008, Vauxhall Corsa e and Vauxhall Mokka e, also the Jeep Avenger, The Alfa Romeo Junior and the new Lancia Ypsilon. You will probably have more luck finding some smaller components used off the Peugeot or Vauxhall sister cars as they have been out since 2020 or thereabouts.
In the video clip where you guy’s have taken the bumper off and are talking about what is bent, I swear you can see Chris’s brain already going over exactly how he is going to pull that NS/F chassis leg back into position on the jig 👍😂
If that’s based on the Vauxhall/peugeot based you can’t get them in Neutral with out it running, I had to pick up 23 plate Citroen ds3 electric which is probably the exact same car and just decided to stop in the middle of a busy road, I managed to load it and took it to the dealer, luckily I managed to get neutral and the handbrake off, even the main dealer was impressed it wasn’t in park, the guy said these cars come in daily and the drivers always struggle to unload them and end up using a special track vehicle or they bounce them off the bed of the truck
First thing you said what a beautiful car then showed us the front , l had to giggle, you need ' glasses Rob ' l hope you got the car in the bay b4 ' airbag services ' took out the dash & steering wheel or you will create a lot of extra work for you & Chris. Electric car is not my Cuppa Tea & l couldn't hear the motor being Deaf so Classic Car it is preferable a loud 1 ' Ford Granada Ghia ' So l can drive in style. 😳😲😲😲😲😲😲😁
Guys, it's a no brainer.....you crunched the numbers in your heads, and took the plunge....you would have been mad not too. When done it will be a nice littel christmas for you both. Great vid....as usual, have a good one🎅👌👍
Maybe I'm alone, but I like the fact that Stellantis exists. Putting all those brands under one umbrella means we keep them going, for less outlay in terms of design & manufacturing, while still keeping each brands individuality intact. My Citroen C4 is very different to a Vauxhall Mokka, though likely shares a number of parts; not least the 130bhp 1.2L Turbo petrol engine? Seems like for once someone in the car trade had a good idea. imho.
I think you got an excellent deal on this car. I am not being rude but if you have to buy a number of new parts it won't eat into your profit by much so I wouldn't worry. As Chris says this will be a quick turn around and it looks like you don't need to buy any lights so that is a bonus. Thanks for the video Rob and Chris an interesting one again. 👍👍
love every video thanks for the contuined content blood sweat tears and have a very well deseverd break and merry christmass and happy new year to you both and your familys hows chris's step daughter liking the fiat ? merry christmass and happy new year to all the people who read this also :)
Good buy hope you get a good result looking forward to the rebuild take care Merry Christmas to you and you're respectful Families from Scotland 🎥🇬🇧🏴🎅🤶
Rob . Chris What a fantastic buy you both have brought just before Christmas. I am sure you will find the way to get the hand brake off once you have got the dash and air bags removed and then bridge out the connections so that you can clear down the remaining codes and maybe the the hand brake will release.
Personally i don't mind what car is on the channel. Its about the process of repair. Ofcourse its nice to see interesting cars. But the point of it all is the process. I recon you will have 6/6.5k in that car finished. Nice win is that
No wonder our insurance premiums are so high, but you two will soon have this little Fiat/Vauxhall/ Peugeot and probably B&Q ! Anyway you two have a great Christmas and New Year, look forward to the next episode 🎄🎄🎄👍🏻
i actually quite like this, it's the right amount of 'rugged'ness for an suv/crossover thing, the styling is nice too, good for the money you got it for. if you ever want to be fancy when you see an italian flag on a car say tricolore 😎
It’s a gift at Christmas time… so, it’s a Christmas gift! It’s the risk and chance one takes. This is one of the positive ones. Well done lads. Looking forward to seeing how this works out. 👍🏻
Merry Christmas 🎅 Gents 🇬🇧👍🔧🧰
Wow thank you so much 👌
Rob you deserve it to get a Christmas turkey for you and Chris
@TheMG4hubcap Rob can you and Chris do a Xmas special where you and Chris swap presents and say merry Xmas to each other

You could always pull the drive shafts out of the box or hubs. The wheels will be free then. Just a thought. 👍👍

I used airbag service last week for a full airbag replacement very reasonable!

As an idea, why don't you get a couple of baking trays to use under wheels around yard. It'll make moving cars around easier??
Used to use McDonald’s trays for drifting back in the day 😂
Was going to take the misses out . But sod it .. I'd rather Watch you guys 😅
If she is anything like mine she is damaged beyond repair anyway. I need a newer model.
Brilliant. Mine says why on Earth you watching that for 🙄
I don't know how to get it in neutral, but a drive shaft will probably come out pretty easily. And that will probably be easier than spending hours figuring out how to trick the trans.
Stellatis is the manufacturer for Fiat maserati lancia Peugeot citroen, vauxhall jeep chrysler So they all share parts.

Well done guys another bargain 😊 I think a lot of people avoid these EV crashed motors hence the great price

That might make the SRUK profit record if Rob can get the parts reasonable!

When will they learn, you never get into a bidding war with Rob. He will never budge! Nice one Rob, proper score!
There should be an unlock button near the console , or if you've disconnected the battery , jump start it from there
