Sorry everyone milage is 104000 👍please don’t use the pinned post to comment I won’t see it 👌
Brilliant job on the van Rob and Chris 👌🏼😎💯🏴🏴🏴
Great result for the ‘Katie Price’ van. It had a knackered ‘box and the back doors had been smashed in but it’s now ready to take a few more loads.
😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Rob “this is the one where I got lost” Chris “I don’t know - it’s a regular occurrence” perfect 🤣🤣🤣
So annoying that people think they are entitled to be able to come to your place of work and Chris' home and think they can just turn up and be able to come in for a tour or something lol another great video guys carry on with the great content an looking forward to some Moreau day videos it's been a while lol 😝
Jokers…absolute p155 takers.
I can Chris departing with the hasstle with it ,Let's face it , He's worked hard / Very clever guy and had it all before social media .
Yup, some absolute weirdos about
Top job again lads,youll need to get a big Rottweiler running about to keep the fans at bay
How weird would it be to turn up like that - some people are short of marbles
I prefer the usual music you use, not a fan of new. There a few tunes that’s unique to the channel and I associate it with the brand salvage rebuilds. I do think you both deserve your privacy putting out loads of free content for us people should respect that. Another great video thank you lads
I would love to stooge around watching you guys work and ask a hundred questions. But it’s Chris’s home and property and it’s a workplace for both of you. I wouldn’t even dream of imposing on you, and I am pretty sure if it happened too much the youtube channel could fold. Respect is the word here. Best wishes. Thanks for all the fun and knowledge.
I know where SRUK is located (and quite a few others) but respect the privacy of all CZcamsrs to whom I subscribe. Those that simply turn up are out of order, some even knowing that CZcams is often not their full time job. There are those that do CZcams full time e.g. Mat Armstrong, who has told his story on his channel but even then I would not want to interfere in their day to day life, nor at his shop, the location of which is obvious.
To such people: Stop being rude, you have no right to just pitch up, it is harassment! 🙄
Chris property is totally out of bounds. Maybe you guys will try a few meet and greet get togethers. You guys are getting popular and maybe a car meet could be good. Might make a good video. The MG auction was a step forward in meeting Joe off the street. Music is good Rob and every video you’re getting better. Take care guys .
Love having ‘crunch the numbers’ back! Best bit in my opinion. That van took a bit of work but you both made it look effortless.
A great finish to another fine product. I always watch the full video and love the breakdown and chat at the end. I enjoyed the new music so keep it coming. Great vid as always, stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏽🙂
I always watch the videos to the very end and always will do. Really sorry to hear that some people thinks it’s acceptable to just turn up at the yard when they feel like it. It’s very disrespectful considering that’s Chris’s home not just a work place. Another cracking job fellas. Looking forward to the next video and hopefully some bonus ones over the summer 👍🏻
These guys live about 0.5 miles away from me and I would never dream of turning up.there or ever disturbing them great video as always guys
That bit of storage area would be ideal for a outside 2 post lift for vans ect that you and chris cleaned
That’s out of order people turning up at ya gaff!
Enjoying the new music and new bits and pieces you’re doing Chaps, as always - keep up the great content!!
That's crazy how people just randomly turn up... Why on earth would anyone think that's acceptable !!!
Anyway good vid lads & good luck with the sale !!!
been here since 24k subs never missed a video, always great, always educational. liked the tune and the banter, fantastic channel.
Great outcome with this van..Well done Chris & Rob.
Perhaps a "NO COLD CALLERS" sign on the gate will help
Hot callers only
CCTV in action 🎬 😎
Thanks for bringing the numbers back! 👍
Rob and Chris, I love your channel - I avidly watch every video of yours in the Barossa Valley, South Australia. I promise you one thing I will never pop by your workshop and bother you during filming.
Great vid again both of you! With Rob doing more mechanic based jobs lately it won’t be long before you need a dedicated camera man! This channel should be on TV in replacement to some of the rubbish that is put on there these days. You have both worked extremely hard and I have a lot of respect for the content you put out. Keep it up! 👍🏼
Perhaps Rob & Chris could call for submissions for new season tunes for 2023 for timelapse thus giving the subscribers the choice of preferred artist 🎨, I quite like 👍 female artists 🎨 only a thought, hopefully a consensus could be reached 🤔
Eric at South Main Auto had the same visitors and calls problem, had to have a gentle rant about it. You guys are earning your corn, people have to respect that.
Music without lyrics is the way to go. Great job men.
Your place of work has to be out of bounds to anyone unless invited. You work for yourselves so no need for visitors. Yet again great video and hard work, and I always see it all 100% and look forward to every one. 👍👍👍👌
Music is positive addition , and while rob was talking at the end all of a sudden after seeing the old salvage rebuilds shield on the back wall i had a nostalgic moment remembering the tym when i saw it on youtube and did the ryt thing by watching the video and following you two , cheers guys we are a team
That's a bargain as it's got new clutch, brakes full service etc etc! I bet none of the vans you were quoting can give much service history, you can give a video history of all the work👍 I make that better than any book full of blurry stamps?
So sorry you had that unacceptable behaviour, Chris. You deserve to be treated with the upmost respect.
I was reading the comments ,there are lots ,i agree people should not turn up to the workshop as you say you guys do not do outside work, if i saw you both say at the parts place or MOT station i probably have a chat about work and cars ,good video as always (just found out u can slow it down in the settings)
Nice to see you saved a potential scapper. kudos to you giving out good contacts too for anyone needing parts, engine/gearbox rebuilds, electrical components etc. crunching the numbers shows how honest you are, very rare these days in the trade. nice one.
As always a great video and superb insight into the work involved getting these vehicles back into a usable condition. Who do some people think they are expecting to be able to wander into Chris's private property to have a look around how the like it if you was to do the same to them at they're home. Come on people show these brilliant gents some respect.
I believe I heard someone pushed the button six times, what the doorbell needs is the instagram link sign ( remember to leave your phone number ), warn ⚠️ the cold 🥶 caller live action is taking place & finally your on CCTV. Unsolicited salespersons by appointment only.🤐
I like the new music, great result and another well repaired and cheap van for someone, great video Rob and Chris 👍🏻🏴
Hi Rob and Chris what a brilliant job on that van and thankyou for a great video take care both 😌👍
Hey rob and chris, love your videos and I’m always impressed with how honest and transparent you are with your pricing and how thorough and professional you are with your rebuilds. Because of this
I was ready to buy this van , and last Monday was waiting patiently for the Instagram post notification, I’d even copied and pasted my response so I could message straight away and hopefully buy it. My message was sent less than a minute of the van coming up for sale, I obviously wasn’t quick enough. You win some, you lose some.
My only suggestion though is, guys like me who are loyal subscribers and genuinely want to buy one of your vehicles but don’t get there soon enough, should at least receive a reply thanking them for their loyalty.
I sold cars for many years so know about keeping potential customers happy, and I just think you should acknowledge subscribers who tried but failed to buy one of your vehicles.
I know feel a little bit let down. I know you must get 100’s of messages, but subscribers like myself are why you’re channel allows you to sell these vehicles so quickly and also generate income from the videos.
I hope you take on my suggestion.
Hi just a bit of a comment/observation etc I love this channel but could Chris not have more input and show what he is doing and explaining a sort of Chris shows routine he’s clearly a clever guy I truly appreciate you are both in this together but mostly it’s one voice either way I’ll always watch but maybe a bit variation a bit of change you could do questions with Chris on his side and a bit vice versa I don’t know but either way I’m still watching 😃😃😃
loved it when chris said it's a regular occurence rob getting lost! i did laugh!
Nice flip, music ok with me. Going to make someone a great work van.
Like the change of music, welcome back the numbers, love Chris' comment about Rob always getting lost, excellent content again, what more can I say!
I am 3 months late to the party but still really enjoyed this series on the 2017 Vito. You turned it into a nice van. I like the new music. Agreed, it's annoying and slightly creepy when people turn up uninvited at your yard. I live fairly near but wouldn't dream of just walking in, I've got manners and I live a busy life. And Josh did a lovely job with that gearbox.
🥳🥳🥳🥳back with crunching the numbers 👍👍,ignore the analytics guys and hopefully you read all the comments saying we wanted this part so thankyou,great video and you Rob laughing at Chris nearly going through the bushes🤣,that will be a steal still for someone guys,definitely enjoy your choice of time lapse music,agree with you at the very end it's Chris land and your business etc so you don't really want people coming over disturbing you but I have to say if I lived local I would love to meet you guys but still probably just wouldn't turn up I would atleast message you and ask you and if you said no sorry I'd respect that,cheers guys
I was going to comment on the music before you said. Really enjoyed it.
Thank you Chris and Rob, we really appreciate the time and effort expended to make this content. Also, I think the new music is great. Bravo! All the best, Lofty.
Little tip for you guys with bleeding the clutch undo left hand brake calliper nipple and the clutch bleed nipple connect a pipe between them top the fluid up as most noe share the master cylinder pot and pump the brake pedal no topping up until after it’s bled it back bleeds it and works every time on most cars and especially the vans with the Renault Nissan running gear hope this helps you in the future 👍
Guys, that works out at £4609.00 not £4009.00.Sorry to be so particular but I love the "crunch the numbers" section. Keep up the good work👍
I'm glad you said that, I assumed I'd added it up wrong in my head!
Great video as usual glad you included the numbers I hope people respect your privacy and stay away from Chris's property.
Private property with no gate/barrier allows public access if you did't know i myself don't know what you have but a sign and rope/chain across the entrance means private property also helps if you put up a sign saying enter at your own risk as the wife is about.
10ft high gates
Great video, cheap van that. Can’t believe people pitch up. Very subtle way of approaching the subject and saying it’s a no no. Hope it stops it. Thanks chaps👍
Great video as usual shame about the people turning up sadly you do get the odd plonker who turns up I’ve seen it happen to other creators and it’s a shame as 90% of people who watch wouldn’t dream of doing that hopefully they have now got the message. Thanks again for the content guys
New music was spot on Rob. As for the stalkers, get a big doberman.
Hello Rob and Chris. Another excellent video and the music was great.
Good price for the van I think it will get snapped up.
I hope people respect your property Chris.
Another fine example of you two working together.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Thanks for doing the numbers, like some others have commented, I find it really good to close things off.
Loved the music guys, really good for a change! Can you list the tracks..? I can see a Chris and Rob drive time compilation in the making..👍😀
Another really interesting video. Not a fan of the vocal backing music as for me it detracts from what I'm watching. Much prefer the instrumental music.
Seconded
Thirdeded
Forthed
Fifth
Great video. I loved the music. Also watch to the end to see the numbers. I stay watching because not only do I learn something new but respect that you always leave a bit in your deals when you both buy and sell.
Well said about visitors, not a rant but you and especially Chris must have been furious, I know I would have been. Great vid as always but please, please can we have the numbers for the Audi gearbox repair? I really want to know how much you saved doing it yourselves.
Many thanks as always, Jon.
+1
I thought it wouldbe £7500, maybe a bit more,, think you selling youself short. Nice tidy sorted van, someone should be well happy with it.
Liking the new music (Vicki Vox) please put the artist name and track in the description! Not on having uninvited visitors to the workshop keep up the good work!
Well said Rob, Chris needs to be left alone. It’s his home. Prefer the instrumental music but I know you have to mix it up 👍
Well that Merc will be almost better than new, congrats 👏 to Comline for their support to your channel Rob.
Love the music 🎶 particularly the female artists 🎨, sorry to hear 👂 of the drama concerning the door 🚪 bell 🔔 glad to be 12, 000 miles away, I can't hear Chris cursing half way thru a new project. Keep Comline sponsorship coming. 🍻🤑👍👌👏
Thanks for the numbers ! Enjoyed the new music too.
Yeah yeah, I absolutely appreciate when you try some other music besides the default ones available.
Like them car bits too as a matter of fact.
Cheers from Finland
Those paint finished Comline Disks are a brilliant idea & design
Another great video lads! As for the people coming round and bothering you, please guys, be respectful. Rob & Chris are only doing their job. If you see them out and about or down the local shops, say hello and all that, that’s fair play. But don’t go round to their place of work, and start harassing them. Show some respect.
Lastly, Rob/Chris. Would you ever consider doing a video on like basic maintenance, so how to service your car and change brake discs/pads. Using one of your projects as an example? A lot of us already know how to do these things but there could be people that don’t? Just an idea! Keep it up!
Excellent video as always gents. Loved the music too. Keep up the fantastic work.
If you want to see the guys and have a chat, go and see them at a event, I am sure they would like to see you. Do not go to there private home that is not on.
Lot of work to get the Vito back to life guys but as usual after all the hard graft u put in...on with the next one👏👏👏
Great video, and another valuable vehicle saved. Love that you worry about what we think of the music, but life is short guys don't be losing sleep over the backing tracks 🚚🔈🔉🔊
just to give you the heads up,we are resurfacing the old sheppy way in a couple of days,stop n go so expect heavy traffic,the car wash fellas :o)❤
Great video again.
I understand that people want to talk and have a walk around, but it’s about respect. I don’t believe that it is fair on you guys to have to deal with that. I hope people understand that.
And I don’t mind what music you use. As long as neither of you do the singing!
😂
Be fair guys, you wouldn't like strangers turning up at your house. Not on. Another really good buy for someone. Nice.
As always another brilliant vid, the viewer (especially those who may be considering a purchase from you) knows exactly what the initial problem or condition of the vehicle is and through your professional mechanical skills in the repairs and parts replacements can see that they would have a sound and safe vehicle, I`m impressed that even the minor problems (like a scratch on a mirror casing or bumper moulding is addressed) and you even go to the trouble of pointing out any minor blemishes which the camera may not show, also useful tips on how you tackle certain problems are helpful for the ordinary diy guy, finally after crunching the numbers the price you ask for a finished project is great, your both honest and genuine guys, can`t wait for the next project.
Great video as usual guys, thought the new music was good! 🎶
Change of music's good, but not vocals/singing, imho.
Glad to see the numbers are back. :) 👍
I can't believe that people would cut off before the end of the video and miss some classic Rob waffle , I watch this stuff for your interaction , Robs waffle and the mispronunciations , classic boyz .Yet another blinding build and no doubt a very happy buyer to get a well sorted motor for a damned good price...If Chris gained a little weight , you two could rival The 2 Ronnies 🤣
Loving the work chapz , keep it up and thankyiu very much
You should get Chris to dig a pit under the ramp and then you can stick him in the hole to do that kind of work a bit easier , and stick an old loo down there for him to sit on. Good job under tough work conditions 👏👏
Fame does has it down side. Couple of mechanics being stalked. Would you believe it. Great content lads
With near a quarter of a million subs you are always going to get a few cranky comments, try to ignore them !
You’re going to have them lining up for that little beauty. Nice work guys - been waiting to see how Josh’s rebuild performed - faultless! Nice series on the Vito, really enjoyed it.
Yes I use live at a house next to work shops that I owned blood people use to turn at weekends made me very angry at times so no what Chris feels like not fair when you both work so hard. Keep up the good work don't let them grind you down Phil
Since you asked, I'm not keen on the music in this video. The music in your other videos with no vocals was just fine.
Totally agree and the tunes get familiar you link it to their brand
Agree
You should do an electric conversion on that old Range Rover. Much easier than it sounds and you have Chris 💪 You'll be able to get serious cash for it..
Worth more standard then electric
I stayed right to the end of the vlog to help your analytics expecting some fireworks and dancing giraffes 😂😂😂 ..... but fair play fellas. Another quality job. Shame on the subscribers overstepping the mark and I hope your friendly guidelines are adhered to 👍🏻
I suspect a lot of subscribers have managed to locate your premises by looking at the road signs when you do a test drive, Google maps then bingo they’ve found you. Totally agree nobody should just turn up and expect you to drop everything. However it’s a sign of how successful you’ve become. You could do with a third party to do your meet and greet and security, how about your better half’s ,they could put a flea in the ear of any unwanted visitors.
Great video, as usual, not a fan of the music used in this one, I'm not complaining, but you did ask for feedback, so just putting it out there.
Great turn around 👍🏻music is refreshing👍🏻leave the. Guys alone to do the content and wait for it to be uploaded. Rob you still need to tie up the loose ends on the A1 with the numbers, also we need an update on the white Audi😅
"This is the one I got lost wasn't it Chris?"
"Don't know Rob, it is such a regular occurance"
You guys are the best!!!
Brilliant love the new music brilliant Rob and Chris
Great to hear some different music.
Excellent video lads from memory there used to be a tool you could get to do the rear shoe hold down springs quite narrow with a slot in the end
Access was through the wheel bolt holes many thanks keep up the good work
Great job on that van. Was a good wee series! Def love the numbers- don’t change a winning formula lads!!!
Great Series, Nice Work.
Music, not my thing but I'm more interested in what I see and what you say.
Can't believe you had to add that bit at the very end. I'd love to have 10-15 minutes of your time for a chat, but I must be one of 1000s.... Hopefully common sense prevails and things return to normal...
👍🏻
Well done on this one, A BARGAIN for someone, and yes its not on turning up at chris house uninvited ! be respectful of his place, just watch the videos and join in this way.
The gearbox driveshaft oil seals sometimes leak after a job like this.
Should have renewed mine.
Hopefully the tracking was done seeing the sub frame and other bits was taken off guys.
Top video.
i think those seals where replaced
Great video as always, just a couple of things for the viewers when fitting a new clutch,always clean the new pressure plate face as this is coated with a protecting film to stop it rusting while on the shelf, if not cleaned off this can glaze the friction lining of the new clutch plate, also you should add a very light film of grease to the input shaft and finally inspect the flywheel face, looking for any hot spots, if there are any have it faced.
Every time I see you fix up a van, I want a van. I have no use for a van, but I want a van. ☺️
you need a van
Agreed. I want a van too. Not sure what for but I get tempted every time….!
Great vid, but prefer the old music. Thanks Guys...
There was another channel on CZcams who had the same issue
The guy moved house as he was a little spooked
Another man gave him the Co originates of his house
What's wrong with people
You fellas do a great job and I hope you get no more unwanted visitors
Brilliant vid, love the gearbox repair and the new music.
You got the sleeve dirty of your new hoodie. Claire aint gonna be too happy when you get home. I can hear her now telling you that you shouldnt be wearing your best new gear for work.
Great content as always.
Not sure about the new music
Can’t wait for next video
Great video guys, funny watching Rob nearly ended up in the hedge, best comment, Rob said “I think I got lost on the that train journey” Chris replied “not sure Rob, it’s a regular occurrence these days” 😂🤣😂🤣 brilliant, made my Wednesday.
Well done bringing back the number crunch at the end as love to hear what it all cost
