REBUILDING A WRECKED 2023 MASERATI GT NON RUNNER FROM COPART

[@gregbyrn]

I have no interest in repairing crashed cars but I do find your videos so interesting and entertaining. As an expat in the US, I can say that if I lived in the UK, I would definitely be buying my next car from you guys. You seem fair and honest which is certainly not common in the car industry.

[@shopsmile9336]

Good luck trying to buy one, they like hot cakes

[@steveosshenanigans]

Same here

[@carolotsful]

What a clever young man , the knowledge he holds is amazing . Also I loved the way Chris was watching him with an honest interest . Great video yet again ❤

[@Pokémimepete]

16:25 Chris is a man with a wealth of knowledge he’s learned more about car repair and how to get around a problem than most main dealers longest serving mechanics

[@danielodonnell445]

When josh was talking Chris was in serious learning mode 😂

[@bz849]

Josh is a very clever kid like he’s on top of his game for being so young his knowledge is crazy

[@gtthompson5818]

A while back through your channel I heard about Josh and JR. He now looks after my Evoque and strangely earlier today I organised a service and mot with him. So thanks Chris/Rob 👍🏻 Top guy is Josh and JR.

[@petersykes8891]

Funny to watch Chris in the background listening and taking it all in,your always learning and Chris is a proper professional and one of those naturally talented people who could turn there hands too anything and be great at it. Only those who know,know. 😅😅top class 👍👍👍👍👍💪💪🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲🇮🇲

[@tonya9955]

Nice to see you knew someone to get past the security gateway and get it running. Should be a very nice vehicle when you guy's get it done.

[@AndyK.1]

Chris favourite saying; It was running ok when it crashed.

[@poconoparker]

Amazing progress and hats off to Josh as well. It's scary how complex cars are becoming. Would hate to think about working on these cars in 10 or so years

[@markspearing9320]

Hello Rob and Chris , just wanted to say how much I enjoy watching your channel. You both have a great rapport, and different qualities that makes you work so well as a team . Rob’s boundless enthusiasm and excitement, especially when you are first trying to start a non runner haha, To Chris’s unbelievable skill on all aspects of repairing these broken vehicles. Been watching you guys for a few years now , discovered you when I stumbled on the Ferrari build . Love the variety of your Channel , from the fiat 500’s to the Maseratis, to the caravans, motor homes , cabin cruisers , garden finds etc etc all brilliant content . Never get. Bored of your channel, where some of the bigger channels go a bit ott and are less watchable these days. Anyway I am waffling now ! Keep up the good work guys and merry Christmas . Mark

I’m just assisting with the same ‘non’ start fault on a Golf GTD. I can’t imagine the fault will be identical, but from my own research it might suggest that the body control module is not providing an ‘authorisation’ to start. The automatic version of modern cars incorporate an ‘interlock’ relay which is served by the position sensor on the gear shift lever. When it’s in ‘Park’ with your foot on the brake it energises the relay to provide power to the starter motor relay. A chain of events !, but it’s possible on the Maserati that the airbag system has spooked the body control module to prevent the authorisation start sequence. Have a look Rob to see if all the electric windows function correctly etc. Josh can look at the live data to check that the gear selector position can be seen by the body module. Because you can quickly overcome the ‘check’ sequence and bypass the interlock relay, I think it will be fairly straightforward to diagnose. Good luck !.

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, parts not cheap on this one, Josh knows his stuff, hopefully he'll sort the electrical faults out. £1000 for a light just makes ya wince no matter how long you've been in the game. Great video, Alex.

[@patrickjmorgan]

Josh and his Team have my Range rover sport at moment, due to your recommendations!

[@nicholasdavies6264]

Josh knows his stuff .... excellent diagnosis 👍

[@teamemusrcreviews3225]

Long day at work driving and looked forward to tonight’s video all day!!! My son’s latest project arrived today, Mk2 ST focus🙏🙏🙏🚗

[@johnpells5992]

Almost there guys , easy repair for you ! Can’t wait to see the numbers , good luck guys

[@karter5351]

Great stuff guys. The sort of risk that you take with these non runners does create great content. Josh is a very clever guy and listening to him talk about 'jumping relays' to fool the ECU, Clucking Fever is that.

[@malccy72]

Love the Terry Tibbs impression. All the best to you both, really enjoy the vids.

[@nickhoward9343]

Your channel is genuine informative. Don’t change yet you’re both good the way you are legends.

[@daystatesniper01]

Great video as usual lads ,the dream team is making this come along quite nicely and i am sure Josh will sort out the gremlin crack on !!!

[@markrussell3810]

The TCU includes a basic stolen vehicle tracking solution. As part of the start sequence, it handshakes, using a secure code, with the body system. If the TCU is not working, then there will be a crank inhibit as you are seeing. So check the TCU, connections, supply, and internal backup battery

[@andrewrogers4341]

Chris as usual making the enormously skilled work look easy

[@stephenpalmer741]

Rob , Claire’s going to be chuffed to bits when she gets this from Santa 😉

[@greighooper5295]

Best car repair channel on here, by far, fantastic content!!!!!!!!!

[@keithfletcher6123]

Josh’s face as the screen just fills with red boxes 😂

[@deanhawthorn5783]

love josh.....he is amazing

[@eddieblaber1009]

Yep watching Chris experience is amazing such an expert, but you are both experience Chris and Rob great video great content 👍

[@stekwack]

Did you forget to mention where Josh had traced the starting fault as you didn't mention it at the end of the video?

[@harryc3725]

What a contact to have, Josh for a young guy has so much knowledge 👌🏻

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello Rob and Chris, I was just thinking ; "it's not what you know, but who you know" and Josh is your man on this project !! Well done with the work you have done in getting this car road-worthy once again. Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

[@properpropertyplanning2412]

Incredible car, great video guys, so good seeing your amazing channel pass 320k, going from strength to strength. Best channel on KZbin by a mile.

[@ged3680]

Good evening Rob and Chris, great video and you can see all your hard work is paying off. Looking forward to the next update. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.

[@greggbutler9344]

Robs new car is coming together well😂😂😂❤❤

[@raymondpearce6306]

Rob are you keeping the car it a lovely car great video Rob and Chris

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Brilliant work Rob and Chris on this Maserati GT,apart from the paint and the key,it runs and drives perfectly.

[@rosskirkland3089]

I had an open circuit code on merc airmatic compressor circuit earlier this week. After a loong time studying the wiring diagram, I eventually took the engine compartment fuse box apart & discovered the earth pins that the control side of the relay push into were slightly splayed apart. A wee tighten with some pliers resolved but I probably invested several days of diagnosis time.

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Josh you’re a genius, the guys were fortunate to find you and become friends ( with benefits) 😊, modern cars are a nightmare, sorry got distracted then my wife began talking so I’ve stuck the ear buds in she,ll never notice, great post again guys

[@terryramsey1470]

Mint video as always fellas Chris never seems to amaze me with his panel beating skills and his knowledge and patience 👍 josh came up trumps as well she is starting to come together fellas and I hope it's not going to be very expensive on the parts take care and stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Sundays video 📹 already 😊❤

[@nickhoward9343]

Thank God it’s Wednesday and it’s salvage rebuilds 😉

[@tns5044]

Fantastic to hear it running gents, what a relief that must've been

[@WilliamStevens007]

So glad you have make some really great progress with this car, I have quite a soft spot for these. Great job.

[@iainmacleod4007]

Josh knows his stuff, I am sure that when he obtains a wiring diagram then the reason why the relay will not energise will become clear. I suspect that another module is the culprit. Modern cars are so complex, basically mobile computers.

[@stephenricketts7764]

'It's Alive!' Well Josh to the rescue once again, he knows his stuff without a doubt. I was only saying to someone the other day that modern relays are generally reliable. We know though that this is an almost new car so a wiring diagram is the best hope of diagnosing the fault. It might even be something quite simple that the crash has knocked out of wack and it thinks it is still crashed but I know Josh will sort it for you Gents. Good progress on the bodywork as well although we knew there was not much of that to do. Thanks Rob and Chris for another great and interesting video. 👍👍

[@sarahfrith1984]

Chris has a huge amount of knowledge, josh is next level!

[@leatherles]

Understatement of the year from Rob "The brakes work so that's handy"! 😂

[@philipmulville8218]

😂

[@j4zzx297]

Sorry boys but you don't need a special computer to get past the security gateway. You can buy a £20 cable to bypass it. Watch some of Italia autos videos.

[@arthurblundell6128]

Great video -- Josh is a gold plated mate !

[@chris_3636]

Another interesting video. Is the electrical problem sorted now then?. It seems to be starting ok?, but earlier in the vid Josh had to by-pass a relay 🤔. How did you solve it?.

[@peterdelamare]

They said at 11:50 that they have to bridge the relay to start it.

[@johndoyle4723]

Thanks, well done. Tackling an Italian speciality car is always a risk, hope the numbers work out.

[@paulbeecham8313]

Fantastic to hear her running, well done Josh 👏👏 cannot believ3 how easy thet wrote it off as a Cat S..... Stevie wonder assessment me thinks 😂

[@darrenstevens3798]

[@Rupertbearjay]

😂😂😂

[@mikeherbert7664]

Any news about employing your own in house painter seems ages ago that you were contemplating this

[@nicholasdavies6264]

Really pleased it went so well Chris and Rob 👍

[@stephentann358]

Your both very brave buying this car as would expect it to be rather expensive to fix. But as always Chris has worked his magic on some of the panels & you have sorted out the wheel etc. It will be a nice car when it is finished. Well done guys on another interesting video. 😊

[@stephen579]

No car needs to be so complicated. It's become a joke now just how many unnecessary bits are added to today's vehicles.

[@alimack5489]

It’s so us normal folks can’t fix them! Makes them more money simple as that

[@petertilford7523]

They do it, not because anyone wants it, but because they can.

Hi rob and Chris, great job can't wait to see it done, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

[@TheMG4hubcap]

Brilliant vid guys at least it’s driving now

[@georgedaville4662]

Great job as usual, fantastic attention to detail. Once Josh gets the electrics sorted job’s a gud un👍🇬🇧😎🤬

[@Jay-B1750]

What a beautiful car, always wanted a Maserati. Is that a new Fiat 600e I see next, 👀👀👀

[@joej9684]

Possible a Fiat 500xl? 🫣

[@grahamhardy1358]

Once you get through the firewall I believe there is a diagnostic check that goes through the relays

[@theessexhunter1305]

Worth his weight in gold that Josh! Got you beat on wing price Robbo! Started the big work shop in 89 and the first car in was a Shadow 1 Flared Arch and the bloke wanted a new wing. £887.00 I remember all the lads in their workshops came around for a look, the Landlord wanted to buy it lol Still got the twin headlamp bezel lol

[@davidstocking1622]

Lovely motor that gents. Hope the starting issue is resolved by now. Look forward to paint.🤟

[@itsmephil2255]

Great work as ever, especially Chris with the metal work, the master. Beautiful car👍👍👍👍

[@trekshogun]

Beautiful motor ,coming together nicely,be interesting to see what the fault is relating to the starting 👍

[@gmanboyo44]

[@danielgibbsbarlow8069]

Wow a £1000 headlight can buy cars for that lol it's looking good though and well done to josh for getting it started few small gremlins to fix no problem bosh

Silly question i take it youve checked all the fuses? Normally there would be a fuse feeding the relaywith power

[@Raf-zu5le]

Wow, fantastic car and fantastic video! I like Chris's tip too with the metalwork. Where do tradesmen like Josh learn their skills, with dealers or elsewhere?

[@TheDaf95xf]

Super cool looking car 👍🏻 Love seeing Chris bashing metal Rob 😊 I can see Chris having this one……..🤔

[@darrenuppington8967]

That Mansory glue gets everywhere😂😂😂

[@muffindell]

A big sigh of relief that the engine and box is all good, the gamble paid off

[@dimitristamatakis2431]

Having another layer of security is to prevent easy access like in Range Rovers. Without it hacking into modules and bypassing startup securities is too easy. Annoying to repair but makes sense.

[@dannyperez2k11]
