Do you have a TikTok account I found you on TikTok is it you or is it someone else?

[@sruk]

It’s us bud yes 👍 @salvagerebuildsuk

[@littlebigman6957]

​@sruk . How can secondhand be brand new???. That doesn't make sense. 😮

[@markfoden765]

​@littlebigman6957 you obviously haven't been watching them for long as it's an on running joke😂😂👍

[@davidcrompton4071]

Great achievement in one day Rob well done, needed lots of patience 😊

[@davidcrompton4071]

Great achievement in one day Rob well done, needed lots of patience 😊

[@malcolmhutchison62]

I’m always amazed how you both can see a light at the end of a job like this, I honestly wouldn’t wish to take on a job like this on these modern vehicles, you both really know your business 👍

[@abuhamza1970]

What a saga! Testimony to the build quality of Volvo which are one of the most underrated brands of car today. Can you imagine 100 years from now where Rob and Chris’s great grandkids are salvaging rocket parts to rebuild spacecraft? 😝

[@duncanhopson324]

Well done Rob, it never fails to amaze me how you remember where everything goes.

[@RichieReportsUK]

He's got a video to look back too!

[@kevinmatthews2620]

look at it this way Rob , 7 hours on that one 5 hrs on the next, plus the confidence in knowing "yeah it just a volvo air bag kit no problems there" , plus you have found a new parts supplier ,double bonus :)

[@danielbrown4133]

"Brand new, Second hand one" an oldie but a goodie.😆

[@timothysimpkins6229]

I've got 2014 Volvo V40 R design, I was amazed to see the inside of the dashboard of the car in the video.

[@mickboakes7023]

Have to admire your patience and knowledge Rob. Well done you. All the best. Mick.

[@davidroberts4367]

Good job Rob, a lot of patience & a good memory essential for the airbag swap over

[@paultaylor9652]

A good days work, well rewarding at the end of the day Rob.

[@paulbeecham8313]

Nice days graft there Rob, good to see how careful you are with the dismantling process, great work ethics 👏👏

[@michaelhynds8035]

Really well done Rob, a big job. I fully agree re Volvo quality, yet also straightforward with so many components such as nuts and bolts the same size and put together logically. Thank you.

[@v88krb]

Well done, Rob. It helps that you have done the change on other cars before but always good to set yourself a challenge and huge satisfaction to get it done and complete. Good day's work.

[@garethbond3631]

Ere Rob. Without the airbag kit being done car is not repaired. It is ‘much’ it’s part of the process of bringing the car back to service. Nice one mate. 👍👍

[@GamerPolygon]

Great job on the Volvo Rob, can now see why Volvo has the safety reputation it has with all those airbags and numerous bolts.

[@trev8591]

Brilliant! I've been looking for a decent Volvo breaker for ages! Thanks Rob and everyone who pointed them out.

[@ged3680]

Hello Rob and Chris, another hard days work, but a nice result. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@daniellynch5182]

We have the identical car and you are correct, where my vauxhall uses two screws for the glovebox the volvo uses 7! When I saw the inside on the first video I thought you were mad tackling that!! Good work and glad to see my cars twin being brought back to life!

[@darrenjones9504]

Great job Rob. Must be very satisfying when it’s done. Can’t help thinking that these air bags should be a lot easier to replace. Disgusting that the complete dashboard is now scrap 🤔

[@Bellakelpie]

I have just gone through having my 2016 V40 repaired after it got hit by a Toyota 4WD. The one thing both the repairer and I learned, is that if any of the collision avoidance sensors or blind spot monitoring sensors are disturbed, they have to be recalibrated in order to get them working properly after the repairs have been completed. We got a dealer to do the recalibration. (The insurance company paid 😉) Now having stated that, the crash repairer who worked on my car also said that the thought behind , and the design and build of the V40, is amazing. He said that the repair job was straight forward because of the way the car was built, which meant the work was like putting a kit together. Your video explains to me what he meant. Thanks guys.😂

[@skodakatie7341]

Well done Rob, great work, that looked very complicated ❤.

[@Fenders25]

Well done Rob, that looked a mammoth task.

[@TerrapinTrader]

HERO!!! No question. No way would I try to do that. You, sir Rob deserve a medal.

[@davidh2022]

Well done Rob, that was a proper strip down fella but what a result to get it all sorted!

[@markswift1477]

Phew ! what a job Rob, well done, great content you made it look easy but I know it’s not.

[@julianowens4071]

Rob , your so talented,I’d imagine 99.9 percent of us would shiver at the thought of doing these types of jobs

[@iantaylor5618]

great video very informative, your time put into all the work you have done will greatly help people who need to do the same. many thanks.

[@keithweybury5212]

I owned a 2018 Volvo V40 that my son now has. Excellent motor and well made as you said Rob. I now have a 2022 Volvo All Electric C40 Crossover, Excellent well made motor as well.

[@peterdiamant8506]

Great work Rob. Superb attention to detail

[@mikejba]

Definitely not for the faint hearted. Great job Rob!

[@stephenricketts7764]

Well you often say 'every day is a school day' and this was a learning curve. Now you know how to do it I am sure next time will be quicker. I suppose it makes sense for them when building the car to put the roof lining in first. Well done Rob for getting it all back together in a day. I hope Chris manages to work his magic on the bonnet it will save some money but that is for another video. Thank you for another interesting episode from SRUK. 👍👍

[@johndrew3202]

You and Chris make an amazing team! Still always prepared to have go at a new job and patient enough to see it through, and learn from it for future reference. Golden Maxim - take plenty photos.

[@callyk5678]

Hardest working you tubers, inspired me to do a hell of a lot of work on my own cars I would have never taken on. Keep it up guys

[@marksmithard7801]

I don’t envy you doing that one, Rob. 7 hours, fair play on that. Great video thanks👍

[@kevinisaac9139]

Nice one Rob very interesting video looking forward to seeing the next one 👍

[@trainmanbob]

And now Rob you know why I have owned so many Volvos. Quality, great design, and not that bad to work on. And they last...I had a 164 in the day with with over 350k miles on it and it ran like a dream. Cheers, Bob

[@jacfox7263]

Been great to see the channel grow and expand. Keep up the great work rob and Chris

[@recruitmentwebsites]

Any troll that says you do less work than Chris have never done what you just did, respect.

[@terryramsey1470]

Really great video 📹 as usual rob how you and Chris get your heads around this is unbelievable to me. I get a headache just looking at it you 2 have the patience of saints to take these kind of jobs on .take care and stay lucky and healthy looking forward to Saturdays video 📹 😊 ❤

[@danielbrown4133]

Volvo have not changed over the years, everything is just plain hard work!

[@carlevason237]

Cracking Job Rob it makes a change to see you doing the work for a change 👍👏great job mate

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Everything in that dashboard looks so daunting as your doing it but your experience a big help I guess in that job . Well done very interesting video 👌👌

[@danielsellers8538]

Watched on larger details tonight, Rob, very informative and interesting description and tips enjoyable thank-you 😊

[@toolrestoration]

Well this took you - a professional that long , its put me off ever doing a volvo!! . You have amazing patience Rob !!

[@andrewfoster1316]

looking better now with all airbags orted. ive used volvo/saab breakers before there amazing we call it volsa for short but always worth a check. it gonna be a nice car when done great video

[@stuartclayton4257]

All in a days work Rob 👍 First time for everything and now you have the experience for potential upcoming Volvos.

[@kevinfisher7142]

Wow that was hard work Rob, brilliant work mate well done.

[@johnpritchard2772]

hello Chris, well that was a job and a half, so impressed with what you have acheived in this one video, and how good the end result with all electrics working!! Looking towards the next part. Best wishes from Lincolnshire

[@sruk]

Lol Chris wasn’t in this video bud 👍

[@stevenjones1972]

Hello Rob, great work on the Volvo dashboard,it looked technical to do but soon sorted it.

[@paulm3965]

Another fist class repair/replacement undertaken by patient, professional craftsmen. Informative, excellent workmanship. Is it any wonder that these cars are written off due to the labour involved. Good video rob, I look forward to the next report.

[@cypeman8037]

Enjoyed that. No wiffle waffle between you and Chris.

[@terrybooker45]

Top job Rob, considering it was your first time with a Volvo

[@mrpaul5726]

Cracking Days Work Rob, Bravo.

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, good days work there mate, nice to see there are specialist breakers for Volvo. Bit more to go, and will be another very nice buy for someone. Alex.

[@eltonpage4312]

lot of work Chris on those air bags great work 👍

[@trishhartland5156]

It’s coming along lovely mate well done Rob brilliant job x

[@Alexander_l322]

I probably will always have a Volvo as my main everyday car for these reasons you mention. I think they are the best all round cars on the road and they make a car to suit everyone. The one you’ve got is lovely especially being R design.

[@smtsoftwaresolutions1966]

Good effort Rob, that's a lot of work in one day.

[@adrianflower3230]

Top work Rob👍 7 Days if I'd done it 🤣

[@aaronthomas1897]

Where would we be without Salvage Rebuilds......

[@martinthompson54]

Hi rob, what a great job on the volvo, can't believe you done the airbags on your own great job mate, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland

[@stephenfarrow368]

You did well there Rob ,brilliant job

[@md-detailing]

Brilliant work as always Rob! Volvo of that era has a really nice textured dashboard and plastics! :D

[@philipsearls1946]

Once again Rob, I will give you an A plus in your showing, and Description of a how to Video. Big thumbs up.

[@deanharriss2029]

Fantastic rob. Great job

[@johnpells5992]

Good job rob , I think you have earned you’re certificate in airbag installation 😂😂that looked a mission , good luck guys 👍👍

[@gary6579]

Mark the owner is a great guy....Fantastic process well, we use him on the volvo forums, also Lee at LB Volvo spares telford...

[@williamdonly7966]

Another challenging car rob, but absolutely well done for persevering with it 👍, just a fantastic enjoyable video, thankyou for that.

[@leacullen9491]

Did my xc60 curtain airbags with the headliner still in, found volvos very easy to work on

[@johnhughes7274]

Good Job done Rob!!👍👍

[@mikey_bb]

I had a '13 V40 D3 (the 2.0 5cyl one). Drove brilliantly & such great build quality. Pretty stylish & lots of spec. One of the few cars I miss to be honest. Considering it's basically a Focus underneath, they are in reality worlds apart...

[@KevinThomas-kxtphotography]

That strip out was a task and a half 😁😁 Well done Rob.

[@markwilkinson2673]

Well done , very talented , respect 👏

[@deepfryblue]

i am a city and guild panelbeater( body repair tech now haha) of the old school variety with nigh on 50 years exp. and only recently threw it away because of these nightmare strip/assemble scenarios. The last vehicles i worked on were '21 audi s8 hit hard in the r/r and a virtually brand new Jag i-pace hit full noise frontal, both fantastic vehicles to work on, the Audi was a breeze really, but as you say getting one's head around the procedural dilemma is the mind fk i do not need. You do a great job of an explanation of pitfalls and tips for this volvo airbag s&a( i love volvos) I work in an engineering shop now; lathes, milling, presses etc and specialising in aluminium tig welding.. much easier haha-- love this, new found, channel and dig the pommie(p.o.m.e. = prisoner of mother england) accent, i'm in nz and have been for over 40yrs..rock on man

[@georgeriggs8611]

Nice job Rob well done 👏

[@andypaul382]

Absolutely brilliant as always guys

[@adrianwilliams717]

Your a brave man Rob!👍

[@raymondpearce5245]

You have done a great job Rob all ways a great video Rob and Chris

[@JG-nx3jg]

First time I've seen a car I own on this channel, only ever taken the door panel off to release a sized latch, can't imagine how much faff this was, you must have had a right sweat on

[@chrisstyles4630]

Rob is the dashboard & air bag master can't wait to see if Chris can repair the bonnet 👍👍👍

[@michaelmcsorley3254]

He will I’m sure

[@STEVIEBHOY]

Star drives are called Torx screws Rob 👍💯

[@mrmawson2438]

Great work Rob

[@jonathanfrankel6787]

Nice one , watched with internet as I have an identical R design , also a 65 plate, although mine is a D4 engine.

[@johnelbro127]

Great work and such dedication to to it correct, craftsmanship. 👍👍👍👍

[@vwgolffancarreviews7111]

Great job rob and Chris keep it up the front seats has got airbags in them

[@julianginniver5785]

[@davidpayne7898]

Well done memory man putting that lot back together great video rob Well done mate

[@andybrace4983]

Lovely old job Rob.....good days graft you put in 💥💥💥

[@01matthewc]

These V40's are really nice motors. Personally, I prefer them over the VW Golf, Seat Leon, BMW 1 series & Audi A3. For me, it would either be one of these or a Mercedes A Class in this category of vehicle. Hope you make a good profit out of this one. I was going to say I hope this one turns out good, but all of the cars you 2 get your hands on turn out good.

[@TheBusracer]

Thanks guys for the content I’m on holiday at present in Saint Tropez and always gets my fix before bed lol 😀

[@roypowell3450]

Blimey Rob what a day you put in, no popping out today boy! Well done mate, very good video.👍👍

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Looks like hard graft Rob, don’t think that I’d have the patience for that type of work, well done Rob, nice post if just to show that restoring cars isn’t easy

[@kennethmckee1570]
