THIS MUST BE THE CHEAPEST 2024 HYBRID IN THE WORLD

[@GRfourfun]

Love Chris’s honesty and transparency, didn’t need to do that but he did.

[@markmurphy3578]

I think that there’s still a panic in the industry about dealing with hybrid vehicles when they are damaged. For you guys it’s well worth a shot at one of these every so often. Top job! 👏

[@perunut4656]

Good to see Edwin excel in his profession, and be proud of what he does. An inspiration for others.

[@martin54123]

Love the battery faux pas, just shows we are only human and it happens to all of us! Great video as always thanks guys.👍👍👍

[@paulbeecham8313]

What a belter, great work from Edwin, so professional, as for the Pyro fuse well every days a school day we all learning with new tech well done 👏

[@ged3680]

Hello Rob and Chris, great little update video. Well done on getting it fixed. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.

[@geordiejones2]

I love you guys you deserve this so much, Chris.

[@kenlizzio7096]

When I saw the temporary fix on the pyro fuse, I thought that was a heads up for people to watch for when they’re buying a repaired hybrid (a “temporary” bypass that stays there), but from the sounds of the video you’re saying that the airbag warning light would give the game away. That’s good news. Looks like you guys are on a big winner here. 👍

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, this is going to turn out to be a very nice result and a nice car. What a bargain, enjoying this one. Airbag guy was brilliant. Alex.

[@kevinisaac9139]

Great video lads can’t believe how quick he did that dash that car is bargain of the year 👍

[@tomtodhunter1776]

If airbag and dashboard fitting, was an Olympic event, that lad just won gold. 👍

[@Airbag_Service]

😂

[@jfwbufg781trub]

I wish I had a good pal I got to work with every day! Love the dynamic between the pair of you - do you never have a falling out?!?!

[@xavierj.5650]

11:04 "I floored it!"...😂😂😂😂 Chris a Legend!

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Guys I’m so jealous of the friends that you have, Josh is a genius , Edwin does the dash and airbags in next to no time and all with a smile on his face, brilliant guys 😊

[@philtucker1224]

Rob I know you paid £2900 for the car and the Car Vertical estimate for an undamaged one is approximately 23k but eventually even after it’s gone to the next man to sell (at maybe 15k ?) someone is going to be driving around happily in a basically brand new lovely car! 👍👍👍👍

[@markhall0670]

always appreciate the content and the hard work involved with wihat you do . keep it up fellas

[@GregTyler-h9t]

Chris is human after all ! lol great work you make it look easy

[@hotdogcf1463]

Just wanted to let you guys know I really enjoy your videos. You’re very authentic and remind me of my father. Top work guys.

[@barrytillman2818]

What I like about you guys is that unlike some people you don’t mind admitting when you make an error . Well done lads very good and informative video

[@stevenmoran4060]

All Renault hybrids always start in EV mode. Dead handy when you have a flat tyre and ignition turns off after 30 seconds making it impossible to use the tyre inflator repair kit! As for lane assist etc, on Renault cars you have to turn them on as default is off, brilliant idea.

[@silverback7170]

Spot on guys, dashboard man was impressive, looking forward to the finish on this one! 👍

[@Mechanicalrob]

It’s nice when cars are relatively new and bolts are clean and easier to remove 😂 I work on 20 year old cars and most of the time is taken up removing corroded parts!

[@marklivingstone3121]

What a purchase this little rascal was. That air bag geeza was a different level knows his craft fair play lads

[@WillThePlank]

My wife has an identical car except in black (March 2024 Esprit Alpine Clio Hybrid) The way the hybrid system works is quite interesting, it’s a 4 speed clutch less gearbox driven by the old reliable 1.6 Nissan petrol unit and a dual motor setup, car has no starter as it’s started by an electric motor, has electric AC and coolant pump too! When driving this the engine will cut in and out randomly and it almost acts like a CVT the way it holds revs half the time unless you’re flooring it which is when both the petrol and electric motors provide power for acceleration. Also interesting to note that it won’t always start when you “start the car” depending on battery charge and climate system demand, can drive it in EV only mode up to 30MPH depending on how much juice is in the battery. All in all the Clio hybrid is a great little car! She’s done nearly 10k miles in it since March and loves it.

[@stephenfarrow368]

Very good viewing guys, dashboard guy was very good at his job

[@eggy1962]

from my personal point of view.....really enjoying this one....probably because we have a yaris hybrid....its 10 yrs old and been faultless.

[@williamdonly7966]

Fantastic buy guys, just to see the smile on your faces when that car powered up ❤ priceless !!

[@FFVoyager]

6:00 It's a line from the IT Crowd "Have you tried turning it off and on again?" 😆

[@brianmckenna3440]

Another great video Rob and Chris can't wait to see the finished car

[@stephenricketts7764]

Great to see she is now running and very smooth as you would expect for a new car. Chris, we are all entitled to the odd mistake and good that you can laugh about it as there was no harm done. We all know Josh is good at what he does so well done to him for his work. Well dome also to Edwin for his work in double quick time. We know you are capable of doing it Rob but it is nice to see someone who does it everyday. Now it is just bodywork to do and not too much damage there just a small pull on the Auto Bench. Thanks Rob and Chris for another very interesting video. 👍👍

[@colinhealy2726]

Totally agree with you, Rob and Chris, about using second-hand parts. I work in a body shop, and 9 out of 10 cars that would come in to be fixed, we would be able to source second-hand parts at half of the cost of that they would cost new.

[@catxls1835]

Another great video Lads. I look forward to Wednesdays and Sundays because of your video's.

[@Nicknofish]

Great video, as always, boys. Nice work. Love the pratts oil container on the shelf!! Cheers.

[@johnpells5992]

Well what a bargain that’s turned out to be , going to be a lovely profit on this , good luck guys 👍

[@davefrench3608]

Shocked at how little damage is needed to write a car off. Great result so far.

[@danpeters5028]

Good content guys love the channel been with you guys years im not a fan of electric cars i will be honest but never the less good bit of stock fair play to you and chris you biyj together make the channel complete both excellent guys andnyour knowledge on cars is amazing absolutely love the channel as you keep it real thank you for uploads

[@garyroper7237]

for a change,when you sell it,make a decent wedge and enjoy it

[@restoringsalvage]

Just sat down with some dinner, perfect time!

[@johnpritchard2772]

Hello Chris and Rob. I so enjoyed watching this video. The speed at which the dashboard was changed, a gold medal award!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire.

[@markopolo9559]

Love that colour, in the sun light its got a gold look to it, amazing bargain this Cleo!

[@anthonybrowne4022]

Fab video guys, never let us down great you both get secondhand parts,Rob and you Chris are the recycling Kings 🤴🏻🥇🤴🏼🥇🤭😂😂 keep up your great work guys 👏🏻🫶🏻

[@roypowell3450]

There Rob I use to think you took your time doing the dashboards! JUST JOKING!😜. I hope those parts are not to expensive from the dealer...Cracking when its done...👍

[@Hybriddiag]

A tip for you guys...any hybrid vehicle if you disconnect 12v battery it will not get in ready to drive mode on first fireup..you have to turn it off and back on ..its normal with prius and axela hybrids or lexus hybrids...cheers loved it i was shouting to check pyro fuse😂

[@richardjones5255]

It looks like another great project coming together, well done.

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Absolutely superb video lads, unbelievable talent by all concerned 😊👏👏👍

[@stuart2897]

Brill video lads . Loved it when chris booted the clio 😂😂😂

[@paulshields6738]

[@davidbarnsley8486]

What a great job Edwin made of that dash board I do like the colour of that car

[@nigelrudd670]

Sunday tea time sorted 😎👍🇬🇧📛

[@michael-s8h1m]

golden balls strikes again , looking forward to the number crunch

[@Jason-zh7wo]

This car has to be the best buy ever!!!

[@frankjames7247]

You learn all the time, more and more of these are appearing, so good work lads. ps get that boat in the water !

[@jamest5149]

There are specific EV high voltage courses, mainly around safe working practices… would be worth doing as EV’s may well become a bigger part of your business.

[@trekshogun]

Excellent video guys 👍

[@timjackson1904]

Thought Rob was a bit slow with the dashboards! :) Joking

[@mickdevlin2252]

Great video lads, always interesting 👍👍

[@georgepaterson4825]

Well done guy's that was a real snip looking forward to seeing the next one 👍

[@martinthompson54]

Hi rob and Chris great job on the wee car, good luck with it, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

[@dean-ryanmiller2757]

Another cracking video from you both as always. I believe to open the boot from outside there is a button on the bumper between the number plate lights

[@Ro32da72]

So true Rob, you make your money when you buy, and blimey you bought well with this one 🎉👍 it'll certainly make you a few quid 🏆

[@ianfender8142]

Your enthusiasm is fantastic

[@garrybritton9415]

Ooh la la le clio is electrique ❤ Well done and great input as evet 😊

[@1978JonBullock]

What a bonus lads. Took the risk and it's paid off.

[@K0ALA.]

Sustainability at its finest.

[@Fenders25]

Great to view video, another great little motor with a good profit for you both. 👍🏻

[@terryleaman3038]

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Rob and Chris, brilliant work done on this Renault Clio,we have power and doesn't it go 😅,it will be a nice car.and everyone is after a automatic.

[@stephenboodle4555]

Good video guys..cracking car by the speed chris was doing down the drive..Great insite to the new generation of cars coming through..👌👍👍

[@petrolhead28]

Love the fact that chris missed the pyro as he had a charger on the jump terminals. Even a genius is fallible. 😅

[@limitedgrip4763]

Lads you don’t even realise how hard is to respray this colour is not many body shops take this type of colour on it’s most unpredictable colour it can match from first respray or it can go wrong on 10 th one good luck even blending can go wrong 👌👍

[@raymondpearce5245]

A brilliant video Rob and Chris Edwin did a great job well done

[@johndavey72]

Thanks Guys . Another electrifying result ! 😅😅

[@keithweybury5212]

Nice vehicle and you both crack me up when you work on an electric car. Good profit in this one gents.

[@CarolineGower]

Nice car lads! Edwin leaving his dongle behind made me proper chuckle 😂

[@peterjones4785]

I had an alfa 159 with a leccie fault.Everyrhing told me it was related to the fuses. But the fuses tested all ok. It turned out that when i tested the fuse for continuity the probe was pushing the contact which showed it was good. Two bloody days before i realised lol. The joys

[@jamesdunican1750]

Fantastic work Well done 👍

[@stehaughton5074]

Great video guys 👍👍

[@Michael-m4y]

[@adammcilwraith4601]

[@johnelbro127]

[@iancheshire9143]

The release for the boot is at top of the number plate recess in the bumper!

[@gregbarrass8529]

Well done lads makes up for the Range Rover engine 👍

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Brilliant as always

[@peggyontherun39096]

Great lads yip had to be the pyro fuse great clip

[@daystatesniper01]

A one chillie car coming along nicely

[@andyspencer1010]

Another cracking video guy's 👌👌👌

[@AdamsWorlds]

Easy mistake Chris. All allowed a few bud lol. Fair play on the airbag guy doing it at speed.

[@ShedTV]

I see the old mouldy Discovery is out front and the rotten HA gone. Is it container moving time soon? 😀

[@kip_san]

Be interesting to see how quick the dealer can get the parts. I know on the Renault forums that people have been waiting months for stuff especially lights.

[@iainhill8600]

Great Video Thankyou

[@e46spartan75]

Hi rob please may you put the link for the airbag team in description it’s not there

[@jamesallen712]

Looks like a nice earner coming with this one IF the dealer parts are not too expensive.
