It’s 10 k worth of KZbin content,that’s all that matters to you ❤❤😂😂

[@ryanhall1210]

To put it in neutral, there’s a bolt underneath the car. You have to undo 40 spins. We have had a couple of these break down at work already. Happy to call and talk it through with you. Any of help, just message. I work at Fiat so happy to help.

[@Piner5074]

Thanks for all the great content over the last year. You are absolutely my favourite channel by a country mile, So have a great Christmas guys and a drink on me

[@sruk]

Wow, thank you! So much

[@jasonfoley9622]

Mega Car - guys - These guys need to be on Quest - sod Car SOS or Drew Pritchard - this is what the petrol heads needs and the public would know how to save money from the rip offs, the information on part numbers would save the public loads of money, go guys have a great festive period - well done I say - Jason

[@bigphilswheels]

You could always pull the drive shafts out of the box or hubs. The wheels will be free then. Just a thought. 👍👍

[@peterhaigh5764]

I used airbag service last week for a full airbag replacement very reasonable!

[@peterdale7896]

Looks like a learning curve for all of us repairing this EV. It's going to be interesting.

[@BigDave1965]

Vauxhall/Opel was purchased by PSA in 2016 , they then merged with Chrysler / fiat and formed Stellantis, to get it out of Park you can undo the Park Finger , needs to be turned 80 times , that motor looks like the same one as we fit to the Vans up North. Badged, Vauxhall, Peugeot, Citroen, Opel and Fiat , badge engineering at it's best. Any advice on how it works get in touch. By the way make sure you charge the 12v battery while it's off or it will not go into ready mode. Plus recharge the Aircon.

[@duncancassarwheelan6777]

worked on an ecorsa recently, main reason it would not start was fan motor damage and those brown relays for it on the left. as soon as we plugged in the new one and replaced the relay and some fuses it was fine. since electric motor and batteries depend on the coolant, it will not activate with no fan motor communication. 2021 corsa, used the autel diagnostics.

[@ooheaven1459]

If it's anything like my old 500e there is a park release on the end of the transmission. Looks a bit like an oil filter housing with a rubber bung in the end. Remove the bung and you can wind the park off with a t20 or t25, can't quite remember which. It takes quite a lot of turns. Access is from underneath.

[@penfold1007]

Fiat, Vauxhall, Peugeot and Citreon are all parts of the massive Stellantis Group. Parts are shared around the whole range to cut the cost of production. Good luck with the parts search guys.

[@matthardwick2872]

It’s no wonder car insurance is so ridiculously expensive in the U.K. when they are writing off and paying out on this relatively easy fixers. Criminal.

[@crisfiler6128]

"The aluminium crash bar is quite expensive at £170 odd".....come on Rob you got ££££ to play with at that purchase price! 😂😂😂

[@PeterGoodman-nq7zy]

Stellatis is the manufacturer for Fiat maserati lancia Peugeot citroen, vauxhall jeep chrysler So they all share parts.

[@bobmazzi7435]

I don't know how to get it in neutral, but a drive shaft will probably come out pretty easily. And that will probably be easier than spending hours figuring out how to trick the trans.

[@smooth239]

If you ever have problems moving cars due to wheels locked or handbrake will not release, use baking trays under the wheels for easier moving both on and off the truck or on concrete/gravel surfaces.

[@richardjones5255]

Well worth a great punt, Happy Christmas.

[@chrisstratford3043]

Hi chris and rob in your conversation with josh actually fiat is owned by stellantis who own Peugeot citroen vauxhall jeep Maserati hence why all the parts similar. Another good project finishing off the year as you started... looking forward to 2025 merry Christmas lads

[@ardharold9468]

Stellantis Group owns Peugeot, Citroen, Chrysler, Alfa Romeo, Fiat (and Abarth), Dodge, DS automobiles, Jeep, Lancia, Maserati, Opel(Vauxhall) and RAM so a lot of parts may cross over all these brands.

[@michaelhynds8035]

Well done gentlemen, a fantastic purchase. I’m sure it will work out very well for you.

[@huwdavies6650]

It shares its platform with the Peugeot e208 and e2008, Vauxhall Corsa e and Vauxhall Mokka e, also the Jeep Avenger, The Alfa Romeo Junior and the new Lancia Ypsilon. You will probably have more luck finding some smaller components used off the Peugeot or Vauxhall sister cars as they have been out since 2020 or thereabouts.

[@andyb7031]

As an idea, why don't you get a couple of baking trays to use under wheels around yard. It'll make moving cars around easier??

[@Rodders20004]

If that’s based on the Vauxhall/peugeot based you can’t get them in Neutral with out it running, I had to pick up 23 plate Citroen ds3 electric which is probably the exact same car and just decided to stop in the middle of a busy road, I managed to load it and took it to the dealer, luckily I managed to get neutral and the handbrake off, even the main dealer was impressed it wasn’t in park, the guy said these cars come in daily and the drivers always struggle to unload them and end up using a special track vehicle or they bounce them off the bed of the truck

[@martinthompson54]

Hi rob and Chris, good luck with the wee bitsa car, hope you both have a merry Christmas and Happy new year, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

[@michaelkember8102]

Wow what a nice car, I can see Rob letting Claire have it for 6months and still sell for a very nice profit. Have a great Christmas guys, 🍺🍺

[@richardwardle1206]

I’m in the same boat currently. Got hold of a 2022 500E RED edition for £1950 doesn’t run like yours. But with 12v I can put it in neutral and take parking brake off. I was told it will run with a reflash of the system but needs all electrical Items replaced first. Let me know how you get on.

[@seanfindlay4054]

There should be an unlock button near the console , or if you've disconnected the battery , jump start it from there

[@richardhine6682]

It's a stellantis car, you're gonna find fiat, Peugeot, Citroën and Vauxhall parts all over it 😊

[@jasonmann191]

Should be able to put box in neutral by winding the gearbox in manually. If the same as Peugeot and Vauxhall then it should have an oval shaped cover on front of gearbox with 2 screws in. Then once that’s removed you just wind the screw(8mm I believe) about 90 times until it’s out of park. Better done with all power disconnected as when you put ignition back on it can put it back in park again.

Struck gold there! Also, EVERYTHING under that bonnet is PSA, so motor and mechanical parts wise, they should all cross over nicely. Can’t unfortunately however put PSA body parts on a Fiat😢😂

[@timroberts2919]

Wow!! What a christmas gift that was. Great find guys

[@davidearrigone9411]

That’s a great deal and you guys always find very good deals! However, I can’t believe the insurance let it go so cheap and don’t even try to repair it. Yes, I know it’s “structural damage” maybe but, this is also the reason why in UK prices of car insurance are getting out of control. In other countries they would have repaired it nevertheless and this is why insurances everywhere else are much cheaper.
