    It's a horrible place to be when you are searching for a fault like that but the feeling when you eventually find it makes it all worth it. Well done Rob.

    I do love how Chris makes pulling these dents and damaged areas look so simple but im sure it takes years of experience and the correct equipment. Well done Rob in finding those damaged wires. Dont see this one taking too long. Keep up the great content and I look forward to following along for part 2.

  • @minidave1994
    @minidave1994 Месяц назад +3

    LIN communication is similar to canbus but single wire… it’s used for non important things; but its master and slave… the master unit asks for info; the slave responds on the same wire. But because it’s single wire you have an issue at one module or connection, you get faults galore! Had a similar issue with a bmw m5 with water pump issues as it uses LIN for them also. Good spot! I recon it was probably the brake pedal switch that cause the ignition to not come on properly though, as you need the brake pedal to start.

    Rats are a bugger. I live rural Scotland and they eat my washer fluid lines on my truck; they're attracted to the heat from the engine bay in the winter. I made a sheet metal box that is wheeled over the front on the truck, and slides underneath. Acting as a cage of sorts to stop them getting in the engine bay. Not perfect, but it works...for now.

You've actually inspired me to now get my E60 back from the garage that's ignored it for a year and fix its crank, no start fault myself (before anyone asks, I'm an electronics engineer by trade).

    FANTASTIC RESULT ! Your perceverance paid off !
    Pranking Chris was a nice touch!
    Rats are a real pain - I was offerred car storage on a farm some years ago, and declined, due to the worry of rats chewing the electrics.
    In mountainous parts of France they have a beastie called the Stone Martin.
    THEY make rats look like wimps, and literally destroy anything electric in a car.
