What gentlemen you are!
That gearbox would possibly pass a brief test drive for a private sale, from cold, but again, you will do the right thing and get the car spot-on.
You are proving that you don't have to be a shark to make a living in the motor trade.
You deserve your well-earned successes.
That's it mate, just about everyone else would flip this motor and let the punter soak up the cost on a cheap car. I know Chris and Rob are in a positon where any corner cutting or dodgy dealing is outed but I don't believe for one second they would sell something on that they wouldn't keep or pass to a family member., even if it wasn't all on CZcams.
It takes a lifetime to build up a reputation as an honest car dealer though and that's worth way more than a gearbox and clutch.
No sooner do you finish saying you don't even want to talk about illegal substances in case CZcams gets the hump then Chris goes "I got a pot here".
Thought tge exact same thing 😅
Best UK based channel on CZcams by miles, no one can fault the quality of repair work Chris does, great stuff lads.
Shame about the box, hopefully you can still make a few quid and give someone a cheap run around.
Jim I'd go as far as global for me, vice grip is very very good as well, so is Dylan
@@1666matt I love Derek and the family at VGG , my favourite channel of all.
That’s why I keep watching you guys. Not only do you do a great job and entertain us. But you are just so honest and straightforward- absolutely a credit to the motor trade. Thanks and keep up the great work.
It's always so nice to see you guys working in perfect harmony. Hopefully the van gearbox isn't lower geared. Great vid.
That poor thing has been absolutely hammered! Well done for rescuing it!
These two are the most honest car salesmen in this country im sure. As people have eluded to in the comments, a test drive would probably not even pick up on the gearbox but becuase you are decent and honest you'll fix it.
Evening guys. You’ve done it again sorting out the engine and made it look smart 😊 But your honesty has paid off again making you the best on CZcams 👏🏻
It's a shame the gear box went but it's good that it went while in your hands because we know it's going to be fully sorted by the time you sell it £400 isn't a bad price should see a good little profit out of this one & will be smelling Fresh 😌 great content as always 👍👍👍
NO PROBLEMS ... ONLY SOLUTIONS... you immediately sorted out the problem about the gearbox ..good bit of re cycling too .. such a lovely channel guys .. you both foil soo well together .. really enjoy your input
Yet another peachy video.. love the way Rob gets so excited when it runs, no matter what the thing is... Rob you've got to be confident, Chris the master craftsman is at the spanners 🔧 ..😂😂
You guys are really giving another chance to these damaged cars to be on road and save environment infact recycling these salvageable cars is not environmentally friendly.your work is helping many sides of world helping lower class people to own something honestly repaired and helping global resources.cheers guys keep up the good work.
Right that is the engine sorted. To be fair you could not have known about the gearbox until you gave it a shake down Rob. Fingers crossed that gearbox you have will fit, let's hope so. A good interesting video once again. Thanks Rob and Chris, I am sure there will be enough left in it for you both.👍👍
so close to finished, but you guys have done so many gearboxes it wont take you long, at least its now a runner!! cant wait to see the new office , thanks for the content guys 👍
Great video guys. It's a good job that you noticed it before you sold it. Keep them coming.
Wow!the knowledge you both have, is incredible, brilliant to watch and listen 😊
Good idea about the Berlingo gearbox, but I think it's a lot lower geared than the DS3.
Fabulous video yet again guys a pleasure to watch you at work!!!
Great video guys, as always brilliant attention to detail. Nice that you can put that car back on the road as it has so much life left in it and a real shame people abuse cars like that but someone will benefit from a well sorted car now.
"It's got two chances" was one of my Mum's favourite sayings when you were uncertain whether to try something or not. God bless her.
Mint video 📹 again fellas 👌 nice to see Chris has not lost his touch with finding the lose change 👍 .pity about the gearbox and clutch but I am sure you will make a decent 😉 drink out of it honest as the day is long fellas take care and stay lucky and healthy 👍 looking forward to Wednesday's video 📹 😀 already.
Excellent video, you guys going that extra mile on this one, just proves how genuine you are .Well done.
You guys are the ultimate recyclers! You're gonna bring that shed of a DS back from the brink and you even re-used the box the Beemer rear quarter came in to lay underneath the front of the car while you sorted the engine. Luvvitt!
Semi Congratulations on getting the DS3 up & running. What a pity that the gearbox is Kerput. I look forward to seeing the next episode of Salvage Rebuilds.
Still a profit in this little motor my opinion one of the best small diesel engine made, and to hear it fire up first key proving my point 👏👏 great work despite the gearbox issue
Hi Rob and Chris what a great video that will be a great car at the end take care both 🙂👍
Hope you dont forget the Duel Mass flywheel swap as well when you do the clutch. You may find it's that that's breaking down when you release the clutch pedal. Great car though boys!!😎👍
Another great video guys 👌
Keep up the good work!
Great video Rob and Chris perfect job guys
Brilliant Rob and Chris, another perfect job.
Great stuff as always gentlemen, very interesting content. Thank you for sharing.
And yet again every reason why this is simply one of the best channels on CZcams. Keep up the good work.
Tuff luck with this one, and someone will get a very good motor, well done you two. 👍👍👍👍👍
Coming along very nicely. Well done. No probs waiting for the gearbox and clutch to go in.
Good evening Rob and Chris, car coming on well , shame about the gearbox , but you will get it sorted. Thanks for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
In Canada, when someone says "It's got two chances", it means "Slim or None".
Sooo much respect for the real world content. The commitment to honest trading is really affirming - thank you for being honest car guys. My fave you tube channel without doubt. 🤝
Hey guys back watching your channel after a break. Should have loads of videos to watch.❤️✌️👊
It is great to see that the right thing is being done , & you are sorting the gearbox as you two would anyways . Looking forward to the next video guys . All the best Keep em coming .
Well done guys another fabulous project your doing it will be sorted ,well done
That came together so nicely and then, what a bummer. Sounds like you have a plan for the next stage of repairs.
Hello Rob and Chris,the Citroen DS3 starts well,the gearbox is bit of a pain that it needs a new one,maybe cleaning the engine has made it sound a bit rough,the interior looks alot better now.
Nice first car for new driver when finished.👍👍👍
Lovely car. Always liked these and that is now a solid car with the major work done and still to do. 👍👍
Well done chaps, a frustrating end but a fairly easy gearbox to replace….
every time i see a car in that state, i just imagine what their houses look like....
fingers crossed that box fits
sounds like the lower g/box mount is shot as well
keep up the excellent work chaps
I have been really looking forward to this video. I really felt sorry for this little car, it's had a very hard life. I was made up it fired up first go, it sounds lovely, and cleaned up nice too. Shame about the gearbox but at least it's happened now. At £400, I feel you'll make a good profit. Try an Aircon cleaner in the car, it might help get rid of the smell. Looking forward to the next instalment.Great work. 👍
Better for the gearbox issue to have reared it's head now rather than 100 miles after selling it because now you and the prospective buyer have saved money, them on travel costs and yourselves on recovery of it to fix it. It certainly wouldn't have dented your reputations though because you two are so much trusted within the SR community.
Hi, guys been watching for a while but cannot get over how you get on with things top content.
I'm disabled and have my eye on the Discovery Sport so can't wait till you finish and crunch the numbers A1 guys A1.
Nice video 👍 just to say also loved the Sunday extra video 👌 class 👌
I love your honesty Guys, top work
Rob that car is running sweet as a nut and it looks really well. Once the gear box and clutch go in - what a cracking motor.
thanks boys hop you have a good christmas from your number one fan
Another excellent video once again well done guys 👍👍
Hi Rob and Chris, shame about the gearbox, but is what is, will be a well sorted car once completed and another great buy for someone. Alex.
Nice. What a lovely job you've done.
Hello Rob & Chris, another enjoyable video, and I wish that the crew which clean your cars out were here where I live, for they do such a good job, and it's not that exspensive from what you say you have paid!! When the gearbox & clutch is done, this will be a great car for someone, and I hope that you will be asking a price that gives you some profit too!! Best wishes from Lincolnshire.
Another great video guys such a shame the gearbox needs doing but will still be a good car for someone 👍
Well look forward to seeing the building project
Nice Video Rob and Chris !👍👍👏👏👏
Another one saved. Glad that video with smell wasn't invented yet lol. The gear box was a boomer but well.
The new office will be nice, with the CZcams plaque in the back and a nice sofa to crunch the numbers hehe
I had a petrol one of these DS3's from brand new in 2012, they're nice cars. Only downside was the large doors in carparks.
"I've got a pot here, Rob..."
I think you have!!
🤣🤣🤣
Sounds like the dual mass 👍 great video gotta love a shitroen
you both will get the car spot-on, there's no way you would let it go the way it is, we all know that.
Cracking content guys, it will certainly be a very well sorted motor when you have finished it. 👏👍✊
You guys deserve all the respect, many traders would dump that car, that's not how you work, kudos to you both.
Nice little runner when it's fixed up with a new gearbox and clutch as well. 😀
I love the DS3 Rob,looks mint and has a lovely interior,glad to see it run! :D
Previous owner kept the interior covered 😉
Brilliant again there fellas. Shame about the gearbox and doing clutch now but it’ll be a great buy for someone for sure
It may not be the gearbox. If it has a dual mass flywheel the chances are that will be away. They normally rattle more hot than cold worth a check. But you have the low milage box so no point second guessing. Great to see it up & running.
When you get the log book sell the number plate separately to cover the cost of the gearbox & clutch kit.
I CANNOT believe how much of a BARGAIN that car is. Boys, you need to go top dollar with this one, it's going to be a belter is this one...!!!
Fantastic work as usual fellas, thanks for keeping us entertained..!!
Nice little diesel for economy and cheap road tax, it’s a shame about the gearbox but I am sure the Berlingo box will fit ok and then you will make a good wage out of a fully sorted motor. Thanks for another great video Rob & Chris Tom
A good source of scrap cardboard to lay on whilst working underneath a car , especially at this time of year is Halfords ( new bikes being bought for Xmas ) just ask if you can take the old packaging boxes .
Another one saved. Experts at work.
Great video yet again. Keep them coming please
Great job guys , you have done a lovely job on that and a nice car now Good luck 👍👍👍
Great video as always Rob & Chris,hopefully the gearbox you have fits,is that a private plate, if so, should be worth a bit.
Nice job there guys Shame about the gearbox am sure you can both get it sorted will be a great car once done
These videos are so satisfying even though we are just watching them and not doing the work.
Someone did'nt deserve this motor,, great video lads 👍👍
You make everything look so easy, and no shortcuts taken. Bad luck with the gearbox, but at least you have one in stock. It will make a nice well sorted car for someone 👍😎
Great video guys but you could do with a few hazmat suits when cleaning that motor out .
What a sickner after getting the Citroën going the clutch goes too.True what you say Rob the cars just no been looked after.👍🏻
Thank for a entertaining educational video 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
The inside was a disgrace, I couldn't drive a car like that, great vids guys.Aussie Graham
Great vid - would happily see one of you doing the gearbox as well!
Great video nice work thanks 😊
Another cracking video lads ,a pity about the gear box but you'll sort it .
Doing the right thing as always Boy's ,well done .👍
Excellent turnaround in recovering a car that deserves to be on the road to a better car owner . Pleased you discovered the faulty gearbox early. Looking forward to the next video replacing the parts as well as the important number crunching 😀😀
Great video Rob and Chris 👍
I sometimes put foil on the lens if the lens is really flooded, dries them up in 5 mins or so
thankyou gentlemen,,your work and morals are outstanding,,👌👍
Cracking Ep, as ever Boys !
Am gutted are well looking forward to gearbox coming out see what's happened
We use to put a bit of tin foil on the front of the headlight to dry them out quickly. Coming along. Great job guys.
Jon, could you expand on that tip please?
Pull the bungs off and hairdryer in the back till the condensation has cleared, leave the bungs off until the light has cooled then seal up. Job done.
Great progress, it did sound sweet. That interior, Oooofta, proper mingin, but those Wacky Backy Airfresheners are quite popular these days so it seems. Unlucky on the gearbox
I hope that the Berlingo gearbox sorts out the latest problem, that way all you will need is a clutch kit and a lot of labour. The engine sounds great despite the abuse it has suffered previously. Some people just don’t look after their cars.
