🚗 Marcus Rashford's Rolls-Royce Accident and Repair
The video begins with the story of Marcus Rashford's Rolls-Royce purchase and subsequent accident. The car, initially bought for £700,000, was later acquired by the speaker for £84,000 after the accident. The speaker discovers the high cost of replacement parts, particularly those from the Mansur modification, such as a £52,000 exhaust. The video also delves into the challenges of starting the car due to a ghost immobilizer, a theft prevention device. After solving the starting issue, the speaker and his team proceed to strip down the car, assessing the damage and planning the repair process. They find that the structural integrity of the car is compromised, with a damaged boot floor and rear subframe. The speaker expresses his inexperience with working on a Rolls-Royce and anticipates a steep learning curve.
💸 Expensive Parts and the Search for Solutions
The speaker continues to discuss the high costs associated with repairing the Rolls-Royce, particularly the Mansur parts. He details the process of removing the exhaust and other damaged parts, including the rear subframe. The team is relieved to find that the chassis has not been misaligned, despite significant damage to the subframe. The speaker also shares his attempts to order a new rear quarter from Rolls-Royce, only to find out that the part is extremely expensive. He then discovers that the previous owner of the car, Marcus Rashford, had salvaged some parts from the wreck, which are given to the speaker. This includes a variety of items, such as a Mansur bag and wheel cap, which could potentially save on repair costs. The speaker also shares an anecdote about the car's front bumper, which was sold on eBay and then re-acquired for a fair price.
📈 The Cost of Repairs and Legal Loopholes
The speaker discusses the costs of repairing the Rolls-Royce, including the eye-watering price of a rear quarter from Rolls-Royce. He also talks about the legal aspects of the car's damage, explaining that the insurance payout was due to the other party's fault in the accident. The speaker reveals that the car was not categorized as damaged, which is unusual given the insurance payout. He explains a legal loophole where insurers are not required to categorize a car as damaged, which can lead to higher resale values at auctions. The speaker also discusses the influence of manufacturers on the categorization of cars, hinting at a deeper issue within the industry.
🔧 Repair Strategies and Financial Considerations
The speaker outlines the extensive damage to the Rolls-Royce, including broken engine mounts and a damaged front subframe. He discusses the high costs of repairs and the decision to use a different Rolls-Royce as a donor car due to the unavailability of crash-damaged or other problematic Rolls-Royces. The speaker introduces 'Sue,' a 2015 Rolls-Royce, as the solution to their repair dilemma. Despite the financial setback of purchasing Sue for £97,000, the speaker believes it's the only viable option. He explains that parts from Sue will be used to repair the damaged car, and the unused parts will be sold to recoup some costs. The speaker acknowledges the financial risk involved but sees no other alternative.

Transcripts
Marcus rashford bought this Rolls-Royce
for £700,000 he later crashed it it then
went to a salv Oren and I bought it oh
my God for
£84,000 later found out that mansor
parts are extortionately expensive
£2,600
that's £2,000
£3,200 for that but the reason this car
is so expensive is because it's mansur
so I think I'm going to have no choice
but to replace them but what we didn't
know was what actually happened on the
night of the
accident but today we found out the
truth rashford has watched the video and
then his team have reached out to me and
they've G us some Vital Information when
I first picked up the car we were really
struggling to get it
started come on Rolls-Royce come on we
tried everything over and over again
someone stopping it but then I know what
it is we eventually got it started
yeah now we thought the reason why it
wouldn't start the first time was to do
with the brake pressure you have to push
the brake down before you press the
start button and with the brake line
ripped off at the back we wasn't getting
much brake pressure but we clamped the
brake line after getting it started the
first time and it still wouldn't
start but now we found that actual
reason and why it wouldn't start the car
has a ghost a ghost immobilizer is
installed by a third party company and
it's there to prevent theft even if
someone was to get in the car with the
key they wouldn't be able to start it
unless they had the special code to
enter in before pressing the start
button but now I've got the secret
code
so I'm going to put that in and then
we're going to see if it starts up after
I put in the secret code Matt don't look
okay you reckon
on it did the
hazards how did we start it last time
without the
ghost oh my those we were out there for
hours out there for hours trying that
well that's one problem solved anyway
now we I think uh we got a lot more to
get on with well that's one lot of
weight off my shoulder but let's not
forget this car is really badly damaged
and a worry there's even more damage
that we can't see yet I don't even know
where to start like this is going to be
a whole new experience I've never worked
on a rollsroyce before who has I think
we're going to learn a lot as well but
all of these damage Parts have got to
come off because well they're not
staying on first
Bol we're going to start stripping off
the bottom of the car including the
exhaust which my dad's on to now and
then we're going to remove everything
that's broken Bren and after we get all
of that off we should be able to measure
the chassis points to see if everything
is straight off comes the exhaust which
is a Manor exhaust £52,000 just for the
rear part and the front part is also
damaged I'm hoping we can get this
repaired and you know
what when he was a kid he was a man new
supporter I was as well is that true
yeah Glory suppor
maybe I should have been a mansori
supporter instead because offc come more
damag mansori parts and now I'm on to
removing the heat shielding which could
unveil even more damage underneath it
wa but luckily this time the boot floor
looks okay in places because on the edge
it is all pushed up and I don't think
this is going to be fixable along with a
rear subframe as well which is
completely ripped apart and you can see
here a drive shaft has been ripped out
the
differential as I mentioned the plan is
to get the rear subframe off so we can
inspect the back of the car so now my
dad's on doing the prop shaft which
transfers the drive from the engine to
the back wheels all the differential and
with the differential loosened we can
lower it
[Laughter]
down it is out and doesn't L any damage
underneath look at this look look at the
fuel tank it was I think they call it a
saddle because it looks like a horse
saddle it goes on a horse I think that's
what they call it any football puns for
horses horses or Saddles no really no I
don't think
so no Sadler is that a no Adam Sadler
that he's sad no the fuel tank is
another thing that's damaged we can see
a hole in it here we're going to have to
get back onto that later because now our
concentration is onto the re subframe
we've got to disconnect all the wire in
which is connected to the subframe from
the chassis of the car so we can lower
it down without breaking any of it along
with the wireing we also need to
disconnect the brake lines as
well and one thing I've never seen
before are these hydraulic lines which
go to the anti rollar I assume these are
there just to stiffen the suspension
because the car is so heavy but as these
are attached to the chassis we're going
to have to take them off there should
now be only four bolts holding this
subframe to the car this is what we're
most worried about are these four bolts
going to be still in line with each
other we're going to have to measure the
distance between each of them once we
get it down but that this one's worrying
because that looks very I mean look even
look at
this yeah should we get it down
then yeah it's not looking promising at
the minute look how bent that bolt is I
can only hope that the bolt took most of
the strain of the accident and it hasn't
pulled the chassis out of line now I've
got the Jack underneath the rear
subframe and we can start to lower it
down and disconnect it away from the
chassis of the
car oh right this is what they use in
the body
shops go in
it we going to go
across we need to measure the points
diagonally across where the subframe
bolts to the chassis and if we get the
same measurement each side we know the
chassis hasn't moved
89.6 and now we're going to go from the
right to the back
left come on come on and we didn't have
to move the tool at all which means it's
the exact measurement what does it say
I've Not adjusted it I think that's good
we don't have to do anything there which
is good news it's actually great news
none of these mounting points for the
subframe have m moved at all and to be
honest I thought they would have with
the amount of damage that's on the
actual subframe you can see here the
broken parts which have pulled off it
but we still have that structural damage
in the boot floor here to deal with and
the misshapen rear quarter so we're
going to be ringing rolls Ro later to
find a priz do you know the exhaust is
off yeah it would it I wouldn't be a
YouTuber without starting it with
without the exhaust yeah I think we need
I just want to hear what it sounds like
that's what you used to do when you were
17 with the fiesta not
let's see what a straight pipe rolls Roy
sounds like cuz this could be quite
funny just doing the
ghost I don't know how loud this is
going to
be oh it's not it's not that loud sounds
good now we all know what a straight
pipe rolls Roy sounds like I guess we
ticking things off the bucket list now
we're going to inspect the damage to the
boo how did it get that
damage it hit a lamp post it didn't spin
it did it hit the post and then it
straight into the back of the
net now you see when you try and close
the boot it doesn't line up at all and
we can see the boot hasn't moved on the
hinge so at the minute we're guessing
that the hinge is well of a Bend or it's
moved wherever it's boled to inside the
car so I'm going to start stripping the
carpet out to see if we can see anything
further what the hell is all of this
it's like a PlayStation 2 look oh no oh
it's damage reckon up still work now
I've got a better look at the hinge and
I can see it's bolted to the rear parcel
shelf and to get to those bolts I've got
to strip the interior out but I just
genuinely think that that hinge is bent
and then we've got all of this to sort
out there's a lot of damage underneath
all of this electronic stuff which I
think most of it is to do with the sound
system so we're going to take all of
that out taking mental notes of where it
all went back together and now I can see
the damage underneath if you've seen the
videos before you'll understand that the
car is built up of all different
sections so look you can see a section
there that's a cool little section like
even the back of the seats all in
sections as well and the way to fix all
of this is just to work out what section
is broken and replace that section the
only issue is this is structural damage
and we don't know whether uh Rolls-Royce
are going to sell us any of this and if
they
don't new rollsroyce Jing now what I'm
doing here is trying to call Rolls-Royce
to try and order a rear quarter because
sometimes manufacturers won't sell you
structural parts unless you're a
registered repairer like Aston Martin
and Porsche in the US and I've got a
funny feeling Rolls-Royce is going to be
the same we're looking for a rear
quarter for it is that something that
you can sell to us you wouldn't be a
problem the quarter panel it is shown
available from rollsroyce so essentially
what when we order from rollsroyce we
can get them in two working days the
price is
89599 plus the B oh
wow £8,000
w00 a lot
£8,000 600 plus V plus V for just that
for just that what's he made out of gold
how can it be that £600 just for that
and then we need all them bits at the
back are you regretting this
yet we are in Manchester Home of
Manchester United and we have some
goodies and a few stories to tell in the
back there's some parts of the rolls Ro
Manor that has been a great story and
that has been a good a win that's been a
win now about to take a loss we think we
may have found the bumper for the
Rolls-Royce rap but I'm going to have to
pay for it and there's a story behind
this let's go get it first so after the
first video went out rashford's team
reached out to me to say they had some
parts left over from the car in his lock
up now Apparently after the accident
happened the car got trailered there and
a lot of parts were hanging off it so
they took them off to keep them safe
some of which stayed safe but one thing
that didn't was the front bumper and it
ended up getting listed on eBay for
cheap really bearing in mind this mansor
front bumper wouldn't go on any other
rra but someone still bought it and I
don't blame them it was a bargain but
before we get back to that let me show
you what I got from rashford's
place a mansor bag which included a
mansu car cover worth
€90 a flannels bag which included Manor
floor mats worth 1
,500 a mansuri fordge carbon fiber front
grill surround worth
4,900 a mansor boot floor mat worth €
760 a Rolls-Royce Rave front grill with
the mansor inserts and badge price
unknown a mansor wheel cap worth
€129 the Black Spirit of ecstasy price
unknown now I want to say thanks to
rashford's team for giving us all of
this cuz they didn't have to but this
has saved us so much money but they also
GS more information on the
crash the original the actual bumper
from the Rolls-Royce we're going to
explain the story but it oh there is a
oh look is it crack there in a dent it
is slightly damaged but all of this we
know how expensive all of this is so we
have saved a bit but again let me
explain so it turns out the guy who
bought the bumper off eBay was also
biding on the car and wanted it just in
case he won it which obviously he didn't
so he then listed it on Facebook
Marketplace for
£3,000 which to be fair is a fair price
this thing's worth £12,000 without the
extra bits on it so then I bought it but
in my opinion someone's been a little
naughty here and the bumper should have
stayed with the car all along and then
your extra bits like this carbon fire a
bit on the side €
4,600 so it's €1,000 € 4,600 for the
pair of them that front splitter is
extra I I I don't even know it's
probably going to be around £20,000 for
this front bumper on top of that inside
all of here they are like daytime
running light
things
but one thing that we still don't have
the umbrellas
they didn't have them they still we
still don't have the umbrellas who's got
them someone's got them someone's got
the umbrellas I will not stop until we
get those
umbrellas next thing we got to remove is
that broken fuel tank from underneath
cuz a lot of the stuff is bent that
b i then remov the filler pipes of the
tank oh no who say it had no fuel in
well not it shouldn't have fuel in the
filler is there a football to do with a
mess oh that's very
messy okay the football puns are getting
worse by the minute with the hoses off
we can now start to lower the tank down
remembering to disconnect the electrical
connectors which go to the fuel pump
which sit in the tank now I mentioned
earlier that rashford has seen the video
and his team said he's a little upset
because the crash wasn't his fault and I
believe him the insurance actually paid
out and it wasn't his insurance that
that paid out for the damage it was the
75-year-old L that caused the accident
let me explain how the accident happened
this was the road where the crash
happened now further up the lane splits
into two now from my understanding the
74 year-old was driving in the left lane
and rashford moved into the right lane
but later down the road she went to
merge into the right lane and hit
Marcus's car sending him into a spin and
smashing down the post here luckily both
both of them are okay but it was deemed
the 74y old lady's fault so if the
insurance paid out how come it's not
categorized that is a whole different
story in itself and there's apparently a
legal loophole we found someone who can
explain that for us but before we get
onto that story we've got a front
subframe to remove because you can see
here it is completely ripped apart and a
lot of the arms which attached to it are
pretty bent as well first thing off are
the wheels then we can remove the Arch
line more structural damage I didn't
even spot
this look at
that oh after that front caliper is
coming off and all the brake lines and
electrical connectors that connect to it
remember this car has only done 1,000
miles so a lot of it is pretty much
brand new so we want to keep it that way
so we can reinstall
[Music]
it then I'm going to be taking the break
disc off again which is pretty much
brand new and my dad's undoing all of
the hydraulic lines which go into this
thing underneath the car which we still
haven't worked out what it is and now
I'm undering the bolt which connects the
steering rack to the steering column
inside the car so at the minute the
engine is resting on this subframe and
if we start lowering the subframe the
engine is going to come down with it but
the gearbox which is attached to the
engine is mounted here to the chassis of
the car so it's still kind of all as one
we want to get the subframe down but
leave the engine in now what I'm going
to do is undo these two bolts
here which are the two bolts which are
