Well done unravelling that cut wiring where the immobiliser was fitted. It’s always easier to remove such equipment when in possession of the wiring diagram and manual showing how it was fitted in the first place. You did not have that luxury but still got the job done.
@simoit8 ай бұрын
Yes former zipcar. Been using these for years (don’t have a car). Primarily they have: 1) a control module (hidden - allows the remote access and managed bookings), 2) a key retention device in the glovebox (where you put the key at start/end of the rental) and 3) a sensor unit on the windscreen (used to open and close the car with your phone/smart card at start and finish of your bookings). Hence there will be three sets (at least) of non-standard loom pieces. Great work as ever guys

Rob, the ring around the ignition barrel is to detect the immobiliser chip in the key. The immobiliser itself is useless but if you break connection to that ring, the car will never start. Best simple immobiliser for a Fiat 500! The wires to the dash connector or to get access the the CAN bus as the dash is a node on the bus.

This is a nice colour car and interior. That wiring was a bit of a pain to say the least but some careful thought on your part Rob and she's a runner! It was a bonus that Chris found a second key, not often you get two from that Auction company but it makes sense knowing what the car was previously used for. A great video Rob and Chris once again well done on the progress so far Gents. 👍👍

Wow, a tubular driveshaft for £700. They'll be making them out of plastic next! Where do they get these prices from? My son's Toyota had a driveshaft break in half and it was solid steel about 1 inch in diameter. Still not acceptable even though it was 15 years old.
@kevinmoffatt8 ай бұрын
When working at dealerships we were always coming up against it with parts that didn't fit. The partsman would be adamant that the slide said the £1000 part we had ordered was correct to VIN and, because special order can't be returned, we would be stuck with it. Only trouble was, the waste would be totalled at the end of the month and removed from our bonus pay.

There will most likely be a fault logged for the BSG (Belt Starter Generator) Code P1947. It disables the hybrid system when there has been a crash. This can be only removed by the dealer for around £100. Dash will light up like a Christmas tree otherwise.
