Hi mate any chance I could conact you regarding my saloon I’m struggling to start it after just steering wheel airbag gone off

absolute disgrace that insurance companies are calling this a write off, that's why insurance premiums are going up crazy. Someone should call a halt to these insane write off's. I know that would not be good news for you Phil but you must admit this was a easy fix, even for you and minimal damage.

You didnt put the fan on for.the oil cooler

A customer of mine has had a bump in his car , insurance quote over 8k for a wing and bumper with trims , and a wheel , was going to write tge car off ,customer said take the wheel off the claim and now his car being repaired , crazy , i could fix it for less than 3k using genuine parts , but his car is down south , mad

A straightforward repair for you Phil, this Micra looks amazing now❤.

Nice to see the Merc C63 finally done. Shame to not drive it.

Well done yet another quality repair, nice and easy aswell=bonus. Ta for the videos. Like the new format and quality filming.

The annoying thing about insurance claims,the assesers are to quick on writing vehicles off,in 2020 my Skoda Octavia was written off,not economical for repair,wasn't happy, complained to my insurers,they then sent an independent asseser and he deemed the car repairable, and informed my insurance company of his finding,they then authorised my car to go for repair at a local garage.still using the car today.

Hey, ive just bought a grandland from copart with pretty much the same damage on the front bumper.. 😅 just wondering if there is any chance you still have the part numbers for all the bits on the bumper that you got? 🙏 really love the channel by the way

Well done Phil. Nice to see the channel coming along nicely. 👍🏻

Really good fun engines, and so easy to change the wet belts

How much did u get it for?

Just checked MOT history I hope all the advisory items have been repaired quite a lot of items for a 3 year old car.

What is the name of that half moon plate? Mine has rusted off and I can't find a new one.

YESSS another Phil's vid' 😎👍

You should state the prices on the video for the cars, that way people will know if the cars in their budget or not, rather than sending you lots of emails, great video Phil.

Write Off 😂 ... unbelievable!

It's insane that the car got written off for such minimal damage. Crazy!

Great job.

Great Video Phil.

Nice wee motor , but I get the insurance thing they are waiting so long on new parts and the time to get the cars into body shops that cost must be getting factored into why they write the cars off . Perhaps even giving out hire cars to the customers for 12-15 weeks was the last I heard so thats not cheap . Your gain anyway nice looking wee auto .

1ltr 3cylinder engines trying to pull nearly 1.5 tonnes of car. What’s going on with manufacturers under powering their cars

No wonder insurance is stupid! That should have been repaired ….crazy

My wife has one of these, a 20-plate Acenta, in the same colour (though without the orange bits) and manual. No nav nor rear parking sensors, but comes with a radar braking system. They're a 3-cylinder as you say, 999cc, 100hp in this case. As usual, the auto uses more fuel and is a bit slower than its manual equivalent. She's very happy with hers.

Thanks for another interesting video, nice to see you again

what a waste of a car written off for minute detail that wont be seen,still someones gain

Makes me wonder if the insurance assessor actually came out and looked at that car or looked at photographs of it on their laptop in the comfort of their own home.

You don't mention the price of the parts phil. Good video.

You make it look easy

Appropriate song there Phil "Do you really want to Hurt Me"? It's good to see a quick fix, i remember the Jeep suits that colour too.

No way should that not have been repaired, no wonder the premiums are going stupid, that & EV s

Never a write off insurance companies need looking into

This fella is so honest

that's what counts for a cat s? - whole insurance industry is designed to cost the other party as much as possible, then we all end up paying the price

Hi. Just a question about boost pack.. how long do the pack hold its charge for. ? 1 week? Etc . As only need when battery flat so just in case needed . Keep in boot

You could try Loctite plastic glue on the rear lens. I had two cracks in my rear lights and you can't tell.

Edinburgh registered car . Looks an easy fix

how much fabia thanks

nice repair, looks decent.

When you look at that being written off you realise why insurance has gone so expensive! Cracking little car

It's a three year old car, got to expect a few supermarket scars, came out well and a quick turnaround !

D7 does key programming just like the d8 no extra hardware

personally, after changing the control, I installed the gasket without removing the valve cover. unfortunately, the seal was not yet available when the control was replaced. That's why it happened afterwards

How could i remove ac panel ? Because i want to paint it

great stuff

Watched quite a bit of salvage repair , the lightly damaged stuff seems to be the thing to do , less parts to source , less risk of finding something horrible. Phil is obviously a smart buyer .

How much is the arch from vw? Can’t see it being loads
