Unfortunately, after leaving my V12 BMW 7 Series sitting for a while due to being on various trips, the car now won’t start. Fingers crossed I can work out a fix and get the thing back on the road!

If you want to make big inroads in vidlogs like these.. You need:
1. Battery health, alternator checker
2. A quality booster
3. Several trickle chargers
You need to purchase quality items… Count £300 all in…
Then you can keep the batteries in shape and verify their lifespan. Keep them charged correctly. Get a booster to start vehicles without going down jump leads.. Safer and better…
I always try to purchase a bigger CCA battery with the existing dimensions if possible…
BMW especially don't like old batteries.. The vehicle is plagued with error messages if the battery is old (60% or less life remaining)….
Whats under your nose?
Did u rly put your seatbelt on only to backup the merc? Great job otherwise
Rather than the american garage you mentioned, I would say this has all the makings of a @Hubnut style channel.
4 cells in the battery , each cell 3v x4 cells 12v so three dead cells if your reading 3v
An afternoon's work… changing a battery… not trying to sound rude but anyone competent with cars will laugh at this. Fair play mate but I can do a timing chain and clutch quicker on one of these.
Try to do something original.. The Top Gear stuff /rip offs have been and gone..
I have never seen such a fuss to fit a car battery.
Damn, I guess it’s good if you have a yellow or yellow accented car there… look at those plates ! What an eye sore… they’re like almost 2ft. wide too !
It’s your batt bro… it started fine when you jumped it. And you’re getting a 12v reading when it’s running, so Alt and starter are fine, batt is just dead.
Oh you figured it out…
Poor guy, RIP
Good lad Joel. That V12 does sound very well. Great channel. Lovely Boxster too.
DUDE, NEVER try to jump a car with the doner car running, it will bugger up the doner cars ECU. Just connect them, Neg first, then pos.
I know that feeling Joel. "YES, I've fixed something myself!!" Awesome.
I had the back pain as long as I could remember when working on my car. It completely went away once I started getting good exercise — jogging.
You should check if the alternator / charge controller is functioning optimally. That is one of the main causes of batteries to fail.
Brilliant job, next time I’d be carful and leave on the battery protection covers when sliding into position, reason being if you were to knock the battery over and it touched the bodywork of the car it will short out with a lot of fault current, which wouldn’t be nice!!! Order than that good job
didnt know you smoke ?
Nice work, mate — as an X5 4.8iS owner I've been through quite a few batteries, and I know what you mean about pulling your back! I hit the subscribe button as you're a good fella and the vids are really enjoyable. Power to you 😉
Love man from Zambia,you are the reason I bought a 7 series ❤️❤️❤️
"coming up!!"
Yes tell me about it! My back was damaged in 1988 and it plays me up daily
