I’ve said this before on these channels. My mate is a genuine craftsman like Chris with 40 years experience. In the last 15 years he has gone over to the assessor side which used to be done by personal visits. He has now to his job via photos from home with insurance companies all too willing to write vehicles off, it’s cheaper. Needless to say he’s ready retire. That’s why you see so many inconsistencies.

[@therealdeal195]

As a car technician this car shouldn’t ever been written off for 2 doors and few air bags let alone cat s it shouldn’t even be a cat n lol

[@ukcarflippers2220]

Copart now assess and puts the cat marker on them my daughter works for large insurance company and there aware Copart are not doing a great job

[@garyhoward2628]

If Rob is having troubles sourcing the doors, maybe the cost of the hire car for the original owner was the thing that tipped this car over to salvage. Totally agree should not have been a cat S,it makes for great entertainment. These chaps will not be greedy in the resale either so there's a win win for all.

[@brianbickle7395]

People WFH just looking at pictures??

[@mcjordi]

@@brianbickle7395 yep

[@Bo88y22]

Soon cars will be disposable as even minor damage to an electric car battery will render it a write-off. No- one has the knowledge as yet to repair them at a reasonable cost. This is the prelude to that.

[@pip6136]

Using the damp water on the headlining as opposed to the dry water Rob? 😆 🤣 😂

[@davidleon420]

😂

[@stevekelly5166]

'Damp water'. That needs to be on a T-shirt 🙂 You could put 'Dry Water' on the back. I'm just pulling your leg Rob. Amazing to see you gut the inside, and put it all back. Between you and Chris, there's nothing SRUK cannot do. Can't wait for part 2 (or anything you post).

[@1978JonBullock]

That X3 is going to make a cracking motor once finished. That's the only problem when you buy the newer vehicles sometimes spares are hard to come by.

[@davyboy888]

Completely and utterly bonkers that this vehicle is an insurance write off... even more so that it is a Cat S. We wonder why we're paying so much for car insurance... here's the reason why. It's a flipping scandal.

[@SubjectiveFunny]

I do not dislike the time-lapse clips, as long as you narrate over the top of them.

[@martin54123]

No-one expects you guys to know 10O% about every single car so don't beat yourselves up, it's a journey of discovery! Great video as always and thank you for sharing.👍👍👍

[@leonwilliams3221]

With the prices of Labour and parts it’s easier for them to write it off, but that reflects in our renewals… the whole system needs throwing in the bin and reworking

[@rpwhite05]

Love that damp water 😂

[@81adamlittle]

Glad you clarified that damp warm water is better than just damp water. I don't think anybody is assessing them, they're all too busy dealing with fraudulent claims to concentrate on the genuine ones!

[@christopherhulse8385]

No wonder car insurance is going through the roof when insurers are writing everything off.

[@jonathanbeale3978]

I was just thinking that. 2 doors, paint, airbag kits and some trim. It is black, so many of these are black

[@kevintucker5364]

Thank goodness for time lapse, I'd rather watch more time lapse than miss an important job because you've not time lapsed it. The problem is you can't please everyone,whichever way I'll still watch your content regardless. What a lovely motor. Keep up the good work lads.

[@brianrundle9219]

Good job again fella. Just remember “He who has never made a mistake hasn’t done very much/made anything”

[@AK.2425]

A perfectly & easily repairable car written off, and everyone’s wondering why their insurance is so high.

[@w.a7795]

When air bags go off it's an auto cat s by the engineers was told this

[@ewanstewart8011]

I can honestly say that I’ve never found one of your videos boring guys 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿👍🏻

[@MatSpeedle]

Guess we all know where Stevie Wonder works these days then... at Copart assessing salvaged cars. Great job on those airbags Rob, anything that involves dropping a head lining is always a pain in the a***. You made light work of that one.

[@Toby_the_Glen]

I think they know 'exactly' what they're doing when they destroy the curtains.

[@mickymac6571]

Insurance Companies will just write them off for convenience, costs them nothing they just put the premiums up.😎

[@DjNikGnashers]

This ^

[@BlackLung911]

It is mad why the insurance companies write off cars which have minimal damage, my car was scratched very slightly & most of the damage could be polished out with a MOP. I had to fight tooth & nail to make the insurance get my car repaired,, my insurers did not even have to pay for the repair as the third party had claimed responsibility for the damage. 😊

[@bettyourcampervan]

Another beltin video 😊

[@mcjordi]

Lovely looking motor 👌. I agree no way a cat s

[@jbillingham68]

can't believe that was written off just for that little bit of damage as you normally get far worst cars in the workshop can't wait to see more keep them coming guys 💯💯💯👍👍👍

[@milaabaigar536]

Bmw , engine , chain ! Parts ! Mega money from the stealerships , looks nice though guys 👍👍

[@garysmith9985]

Nice to see you have a corner of the yard reserved for only black BMW's.

[@chrishomer1079]

Rob that strip out and rebuild looked a total nightmare,you did make it look easy but I know how hard that work is . Awesome

[@geertvandermeer4938]

Rob, I am happy to hear that you're using water that is damp.

[@amazulu3401]

That was extremely funny, and he said it twice !

[@mikej857]

Everyone thinks they can now repair salvage hence the silly prices at Co Part but it means there are lots or badly repaired cars being put back on the road. Nice car though and surprising the damage warranted it being written off given the age and mileage of the car

[@dozerblade]

I hate working on the interiors, full marks Rob you are great at this.

[@Ivanho1981]

This never gets boring, thanks men 👏🏼👏🏼

[@tombo1001]

Thanks Rob & Chris always a great watch!

[@nickhoward9343]

And another thing. What a top job Rob 👍

[@SpeccyMan]

Great work. That seat is a work of art. I must admit to a little chuckle at "damp water" though. 😉

[@DP-pn4uz]

Another great video lads love watching

[@grahamhardy1358]

I love the X3 and the new shape is beautiful

[@kevingould6725]

Great video Rob and looking forward to seeing the next. 😊

[@mrmawson2438]

Cracking job Rob cheers guys

[@nevillemorley5926]

You make it all so easy, Rob. Look forward to seeing the new doors. Nice car

[@ctiley2212]

I wouldn't worry about time lapse, it is very interesting and highlights how much work is involved in what is needed to do what you do. Personally I find it very intriguing.

[@OFA_Garage]

In America we'd call slicing the airbags a release from seller's liability. Another great video gents!

[@alyc36]

Another great video. Found your channel a few weeks ago and really enjoying the content. Keep up the great work guys 👍👍

[@johndrew3202]

It is always good to see you learning by experience still Rob. Even better hearing you pass the advice on to the viewer. Lovely job,

[@ged3680]

Good evening Rob and Chris. That is a really nice looking car especially the interior.Lots of hard work. Looking forward to the next update. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

Nice work Rob lots of clips and bits. That X will look amazing Soon Thanks so much for sharing Gentlemen

[@Andy5634]

[@anthonyobersteller2947]

Rob and Chris great job on the BMW X3 looking forward to the next video.😊

[@pauldavies6037]

Blimey what a job Rob amazing

[@Riothamus]

[@belfastbornstephen]

Brilliant stuff lads

[@garygray4640]

[@johndavey72]

Great content Rob . Thankyou

[@johnmehaffey9953]

Nice one guys that hour you stayed frees up practically all of next day, used to do it regularly myself stops all the palaver of getting everything ready and working yourself into the proper frame of mind, great post again guys

[@Nicknofish]

Great video as always boy's. Luving it. Cheers

[@bigboy1170]

As usual lovely bit of salvage boys 🤙

[@zzhughesd]

Another belter lads. Nice buying Rob. Keep nicking them

[@ianpovey7939]

Well done, guys, looks like you’ve struck gold with that one. I’ve had one of these from new and they are a great car. It’s good to hear that they are well built and engineered. Cannot wait for you to crunch the numbers

[@tigers586]

Top class video! Enjoy your Sun chaps 👍

[@davidroberts2386]

Excellent video, really interesting how hard the guys work to be able to sell a decent X3. Good job...

[@victor58010]

Not the end of the weld,you always manage to find parts where other people would give up! Best show on youtube,you guys work harder than anyone I know,and deserve all the good things in life.Many thanks to you both for the excellent videos,you put other dealers to shame with your work ethic,and honesty ,politeness to each other ,and positive attitude.

[@stephenricketts7764]

Top work on the interior with those airbags and seat belts. It was a lot of stuff to remove but you got there and they did an excellent job of the drivers seat which saved you a lot of time, no need to send it to the upholster. Thanks Rob and Chris for another great video from SRUK. 👍👍

[@frankjames7247]

You are the man for the air bags Rob, but what a lot of work ps a lovely motor. I must be blind as I never saw it !

[@stevenjones1972]

Hello both,what a nice car,the two doors second hand are a nightmare but you ordered new.thankfully no sill or panel damage.cant wait to see it finished.

[@briansweeney2291]

Another great find rob and Chris nice car once again,just shows you how hard it is to find parts secondhand on the newer models 😎👍

[@andrewwilson1118]

What a good looking motor , you are getting some nice stuff 👍👍👍

[@rph31015]

"Damp warm water" 😂 gotta love him 🙂

[@peterallen143]

Nice car great job as always carry on the great videos love the channel ❤

[@keithweybury5212]

Lovely clean low mileage motor Rob. Well done on the fix thus far.

[@Hillbillymills.]

Lovely car that guys will be stunning with its new doors and a splash n dash and out the door. Will sell in a heartbeat no doubt. Another great vid lads ❤

[@michaelhynds8035]

Great stuff gents. Keep up with the damp,warm water. Do well with that one.

[@mariohughes2289]

Cracking video lad's thanks for sharing 👍 😀. Happy ST Patrick's day..

[@a.f.m6737]

What a lovely car. I hope it will be well loved by the new owner. Can’t wait to see it on the road again.

[@peterdnreynolds777]

Excellent video as always!! 👍🏻

[@philkfoto]

Rob there is absolutely nothing boring in my mind watching what you do, same as Chris working away. Two wizards at work.

[@gareth838]

I dont really like bmw but this one looks lovely

[@ragnarironspear1791]

Great channel guys look forward to your videos

[@michaelnaughton1393]

Rob, great idea to use "damp" water on the roof lining... dry water just won't cut it.

[@danielwalker8737]

It's a nightmare to get hold of is dry water 😂😂

[@knoxyish]

nice one rob ! another good car !

[@philkfoto]

Good to see your honesty Rob about the module, most would overlook mentioning the error. How you actually remember where every bolt screw etc go is amazing. To me now at 75 and with some brain power, it would be a nightmare. I don't trust myself now and would keep double checking everything.,......afterwards!!!

[@colinwhite5355]

In the past 24 hours I’ve watched the nightmare fire you had with that Range Rover followed by a couple of vids on a HA Viva. Pure agony v pure joy.

[@arweldavies8438]

Cracking video as usual. As it goes, I'm looking at changing my 3series touring for an X3 so once it's done, I may well be giving you a shout Rob.

[@adrianowen6524]

Another great video guys nice one thanks!. 👌👌👍👍...

[@karter5351]

Good stuff Rob, a few hours graft on that and it is coming along really well

[@RobDavies1972]

Top work lads, as usual

[@slottaway]

Can`t source the doors...... I feel a ` Hold my Latte, I got this ! ` moment coming from Chris🤣

[@raymondpearce5245]

Rob you have done a great job a lovely car keep the video coming Rob and Chris

[@johnshaw8481]

Well done Rob , those bits look pretty fiddly , pain that you couldn't find complete doors 2nd hand but hopefully the new doors painted by Smarts won't cause you a big headache...looking forward to your midweek video , cheers boyz

[@herbierossiter7421]

Well done you two, Rob don't change to much as it's what I absolutely love watching. Chris' has been headed off with the change, the look on his face heartbreaking. Take care you two, can we get an update on the puppy please?

[@stephenfarrow368]

A brilliant job rob ,car looks amazing inside ,well done ✅

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Great content as always well done 👍👍👍

[@terence2678]

I would be happy driving that car even with damaged doors. 😂

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Another brilliant video 😊

[@ME-ke7qc]

great vid lads thanks

[@marksmithard7801]

Top Video chaps. Thankyou 👍

[@CON1FER]

Great video lads. Your right about Insurers. Many of the Cat N I get from Copart have so little damage it’s laughable. No wonder insurance is so expensive these days.
