[@martinblackbird543]

I'd love to see a Rob and Chris documentary, how you both started in the business, funny stories, how you met, etc etc etc

[@thomasweatherford5125]

YES!!! School photos of these two chaps would be outstanding too!

[@davidminns9799]

Yes totally agree with you that's the video I want to see👍

[@bs190905]

YES!!! A back story of how you too got into the business is a must

[@robertbryant3805]

Great idea mate.

[@Uk45local]

Haha! Yeah be a gd watch

[@shanehnorman]

For an old road-warrior like me, it's instructive to see the endless procedures needed to revive a damaged modern car. The basics are the same as ever - radiator, hoses, pumps, etc - but the keyboard work is an eye-opener to someone who never got beyond feeler gauges and ammeters.

[@johnturner4400]

The petrol in the tank has increased in value by 40% since you bought it!

[@colinwhite5355]

What a really decent bloke - good to see someone who genuinely cares about others. It’s called selflessness. Remember it?

[@keithgreen9009]

That strange water pump with electric belt activation you recently did has helped so many people.... 👏, I seen a viewer pointing chops garage to have a look and it helped him out .

[@trefj1369]

I love to see you bringing cars back to life, especially with secondhand parts, much more environmentally friendly than buying a new car :-)

[@remenisionz]

Watching that fella sort the key out was mesmerising. Really interesting bit of content! He really did know his stuff, top lad for coming to your rescue!

[@01matthewc]

You 2 are a right proper pair of automotive magicians. A lot of people, myself included would have thought post accident that that Audi A1 would never run again. Yet again great work guys 👏👏👏👏.

[@stuartbatchelor1970]

Great video guys. Been following you for a year or so and wanted to say a big thanks. You've inspired me to get into my own car repairs. Just finished my first project. A Cat D citroen C1. Had to put right a proper cowboy repair and a full body rattle can respray in my garage. Thanks again and keep the vids coming. All the best Stuart.

[@terryramsey1470]

Fantastic again rob and Chris I am always blown away by your work and knowledge about the vehicles you buy 😀 and how you always find away around any problems that you come across. Have a good weekend looking forward to the next one also the wheels look a lot better in silver 😀.

[@johncoombs3128]

That guy at the start of the video knew his stuff regarding keys ect, Another milestone seeing the Audi Moving

[@geoffpartington1527]

When I see the engin bay of a car on your channel it looks like an alien space ship,I'm 68 my first car a mark one cortina you could see the ground below the engine there was so few components !!

[@karter5351]

Great to see the key being cut and coded. When you've got all the gear and plenty of idea, it looks so simple.

[@ccjelley2390]

I always enjoy the clear descriptions of what's been done and what's to be done which accompany your close up shots. What a brilliant channel and a great enterprise you're running.

[@1978JonBullock]

Rob, Chris, great to see how the locksmith coded and cut your new key in no time at all without the need to go and get ripped off at an Audi main dealer. always interesting content lads .

[@dazzasp3]

It's always a pleasure to watch you guys truthful and honest keep up the good work 👍

[@kevoc3268]

Another great video Rob and Chris.It's brilliant seeing subscribers wanting to offer their services to ye at a good price yet again.I can see ye both are getting a new lease on life with the projects getting finished up 😀👍🇨🇮

[@stephenricketts7764]

I am so pleased that the A1 is finally running and driving. Six months isn't anything to be ashamed of Gents, you have been doing quick flips and a Jolly, well deserved BTW. I remember there were a few small dents on the car so why not make it look good, it has low miles too. Hope you have a great weekend Rob and Chris and thanks for the Video.

[@mistermikeanson]

Those wheels look ace! Locksmith man was interesting to see - thanks for showing that.

[@chrisstyles4630]

So good to see it running under its own steam this one has been a quite the journey to get to this point & so looking forward to see it finished 😀

[@thefloorkiller]

Great work lads and I definitely prefer those wheels in silver, not a fan of black wheels, and Chris cleaning the centre cap motif, those details just finish off lovely refurbished wheels

[@KMorse-toughnut]

Has the final video on this car gone out? Has been unbelievable watchig the transformation of this little car! Love our channel guys!

[@mikeberry304]

Great job guys , this one certainly was a Salvage Rebuild , but it's been fixed properly and will be a minter for the next owner , well done 👍👍💪💪

[@teamemusrcreviews3225]

Morning all, what great progress, I’ve had a project A4 off the road for 7 months now and engine changed this week and perfect, I know how you feel and reassures me there are others in the same situation and it comes good in the end. So enjoyed your vid today as I did what’s called the Highland cross yesterday(see google) and am just a tad tired, looked forward to sitting on couch today every step of yesterday! 👍👍👍🚗🚗🚗

[@bobnashnash7965]

To enable sat nav you need to buy the SD card from TPS and put ODIS on to program it. Regards Bob

[@markfoden765]

Nice to see the audi running and driving after so long,still a bit to do but should be an easy sale,hard week this week in the heat so have a good weekend guys👍

[@richardjones5255]

This one has been a bundle of work for you guys, and no mistake. The list of sundry odd bits to find and replace has led you on a fair old dance. Six months of careful gathering is finally getting you moving forward, still, it was great to see it finally takes its first steps after its 'slight upset'. A shame about the bent leg, but I guess these last minute snags are to be expected when cars have been walloped. At least you can have a relaxing weekend now, hopefully cooling off after the heat of today.

[@pomnichowski]

Much Thanks Fellas You always have such wonderful content to share with us all

[@jimmac715]

Nice to see/hear the A1 running. All your hard work starting to pay off on this one. Top wok again guys.

[@stevewells2327]

Lads you certainly do tip the wink on all comments. Folks don’t know how hard it is to stay on top of this - I certainly appreciate the odd nod the wink on the odd message I pop in there fro Malaysia. It’s appreciated and I know a lot of lads do too. Lovely vid on the key cutting. Do keep churning the content out. Perfect is not what we want.

[@sruk]

👌👍

[@jamesgay3207]

Great video - can't believe its 6 months but what a transformation. Keep up the momentum and hopefully a nice little earner for you.

[@davidwalker8099]

its very intresting towatch the david

[@traustisigurdsson2974]

Im watching you guys from Norway. Great material you guys are putting out. Keep up the good work💪💪🍺

[@HansdeRooij]

Thanks for the positive vibes 🙏🏻

[@johnelbro127]

Great effort and hard work on a severely damaged car, specialists at work. Anyone could trust buying from you two. 👍👍👍👍👍

[@stevedane787]

Looks like its all coming together. However, if you do find any odd little bits that need replacing, Sods Law says they'll be in the most inaccessible place possible. Looking forward to the next one

[@davidperry3234]

Best auto show on you tube by far always look forward to the shows brilliant keep going guys 👍

[@p8ddy]

The steering one and a few others are because the battery was disconnected. The steering one probably isn't an issue 0 when you run the car, make sure you get the steering from lock to lock, that re-sets the sensor. I replaced the seats in my Seat Leon, I got a load of codes that wouldn't clear. Within 1/4 driving and getting the steering lock to lock they were all gone. Awesome work as always!

[@hoggmotorsport]

Excellent guys, it's a massive milestone when you get a salvage motor with no keys running and driving, even better then you find out its low mileage too 👌 Have a great weekend 👍

[@chrishines6048]

Great job lads! Well done. Great to see it starting up and moving under it's own power

[@jamesdavies3194]

Hey Rob & Chris.. Love all your vids, your dedication to the work you do is a real credit to you both.. Keep up the good work.. God bless you both

[@williamdonly7966]

Audi A1 fights back !! So good to see that little audi of the ramp, and back on its wheels . Well done guys for comming this far !! Again fantastic video, never dissapoint!!

[@matthewwebber3982]

Great to see it finally move under its own steam it’s a weight off your shoulders there look forward to the next video guys keep up the great work

[@rogerblackwood8815]

Really enjoying this one, it must be really satisfying to see it come together from the state it was in when you started? That is about as much rebuilding any salvage car will get, any more needed would make it a write off😜

[@casperwillinghamculleton3287]

Absolutely amazing how far it's come wheels are amazing love to watch all ur videos when I have time 💯💯

[@v88krb]

Rob & Chris, great to see it run and , hopefully not too long until it is complete and fit to return to the road. Hope the airbag bits are not to troublesome. Enjoy the weekend, stay safe in this heat.

[@General_Confusion]

So the key man was very young, very hungry and really really knew his stuff. So just like Chris apart from the hungry and young bit.

[@rahimhussain2260]

Power steering fault is very easy to reset, you do a basic setting on the module 44 and recalibrate the steering I have a cheap Autel that can re calibrate them. Takes 2 minutes, I’m sure you guys will have a scanner capable lol

[@martinthompson54]

Hi rob and Chris, great job great to see the wee car going. From marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

[@ged3680]

Hello Rob and Chris, watching the Friday video on a Saturday as the other half book a social engagement last night. Yes, I’ve had a word. The little Audi is coming on well. Good to see progress on the other projects. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@johnmcmahon4364]

Wow after 6 months how do you know where all the the parts go Jigsaw great video again lads

[@brianboys9015]

I learn something new every time here. Thanks.

[@paulbeecham8313]

Another box ticked boys, sounds as sweet as a nut, shocked how you guys remember where it all goes back together, i have all on remembering which draw my pants are in 🤣

[@HATCHETHAS]

Not sure but VW's have bonnet sensors which must be opened then closed to clear the oil sensor, worth a look.

[@davidcurran6164]

Another great video Rob & Chis, understanding a little about the key programming was really interesting. As for how long you have had the car I was amazed, but looking back at what arrived and seeing it now what a stunning transformation, you guys should be really proud, great job so far, can’t wait to see it finished. Thanks as always. Dave.

[@gleng6812]

RE comments i really appreciate the likes and reply you guys give to my KZbin comments, for the size of your channel and how busy you both are I acknowledge the effort you go through as it's more than most others! 👍

[@sruk]

We alway try to read all of the comments 👍

[@carlevans285]

So refreshing and glad to see the wheels done as they should be, transforms the car

[@fromthetoon1602]

Lucky the key man isn’t a car thief he made it look easy! Going to be a good little car this A1, I’m looking forward to the wings and bumper going on

[@deanishere7237]

The locksmith guy seemed to know what he was on about... Good vid lads !!!

[@jondoe3623]

A job well done. I tried the stuff you cleaned the camper brilliant stuff and cheap I would recommend cheers

[@muhammadmungur9139]

Cracking Content on the Audi A1 guys. The car starts runs and drives which is a good sign. The car is almost there. Chris has to prep for paint and get the rest of the jobs done on the car. Amazing work Rob and Chris. keep up the good work. Have a good weekend.

[@deekokeegan5990]

Well done lads lovely to hear and see the little a1 going under its on stream 👍🏼 😎👌🏼

[@HowardLeVert]

Lovely to see that little Audi running about again - that'll be a very nice car for someone and yes, the silver wheels look much better.

[@sonofedmund5004]

Chris has got his shorts on, summer is really here!

[@bathfun]

So true..

[@ewanstewart8011]

Just read the first comment and I agree that a background video about the two of you would make great viewing, I’m sure you guys must have some tales to tell 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@organiccold]

Oh same key as my 2008 A6. Happy days to see the A1 running on its own power. Have a good weekend guys.

[@PREMIERAUTOLOCKSMITHS]

Looks same but completely diffrent the audi a1 key is working also for audi q3 the audi a6 key is also working for audi a7 and vice versa

[@paulriggers1558]

we use a big knife like that to cut off the old tyre valves, health + safety visitors said we couldn't have it, so i stuck some masking tape on + wrote "tyre valve removal tool" on it. it now passes, as a "functional sharp edged tool"... bless them... so what time is it now rob ?

[@bobnashnash7965]

We do have the dealer tool if you want that sorted.

[@NickHudson2]

Brilliant watch again Guys 👌 Good to see the car moving under its own power again and those wheels look so much better back in Silver

[@jasonmiles5043]

Locksmith doesn’t wanna be on camera…..quite clearly see him in the reflection 😂😂

[@PREMIERAUTOLOCKSMITHS]

I cant hide very well😂😂

[@organiccold]

@@PREMIERAUTOLOCKSMITHS haha

[@philtucker1224]

Yes but let’s not mention that as the lad wanted to remain private and We should respect that. Plus he was a good bloke.

[@sruk]

O dear 👍

[@chip1pan]

That's not a drill that's a endmil.l but hey ho never mind. Still a great video boys as usual 👍👍👍👍👍

[@trainmanbob]

A1 now starting to look and be A1. Great work lads. Have a good weekend.

[@paultaylor9652]

👍From me, great work but wouldn't like to be testing it up and down the drive with the heater on full Rob.

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Nice work Rob and Chris,the engine is back in and starts and ticks over nice.the new key is brilliant and it's perfect.

[@richardagent1924]

Dealer spares are always priced to the car. The VW part would be cheaper and the Skoda part cheaper still. Back in the 70's I wanted a floor mounted washer switch for a Mk III Cortina. It was out of stock at about 4 quid. The same switch for an Escort was 3, and the Granada was over 5. I bought one for a Transit @ 2 pound 50 ish and removed the extra bracket that was riveted to it. Nice to have a helpful spares specialist.

[@kevinisaac9139]

Brilliant job lads sounds great I love your videos looking forward to seeing the next 👍👌

[@Matthew-uc3rd]

Chris and Rob all of your videos are fantastic are you going to be doing any more work on the motor home which you bought

[@haydenuk02]

She sounds great.Amazing work and thanks for taking us along take care

[@neilfairless4589]

That will sail out the doors guy's when done, real nice motor it is and with that mileage!!!

[@johnburns8010]

Good to see the wee audi back on her wheels . Considering what yous started with .

[@bernarddalbeck2199]

Great content guys it’s why we follow the channel.

[@tomtodhunter1776]

It runs great, very quiet. The refurbed wheels look great. Much better in silver. I really enjoyed the key cutting and programming. The new key lathes are certainly quieter than the older ones. Is the old strut the original one?

[@pauljohnson4871]

Love these videos. So much fun to watch & how you turn wrecks into decent cars

[@Rugbyman269]

Great camera technique Rob , not always the case with KZbin channels

[@sruk]

Really appreciate that thank you got to be our first ever compliment on camera work 👍

[@peterhorn5042]

I do miss the old music...... And I'm glad to see that Chris his leg's are as white as mine. 😄

[@roypowell3450]

It's been a very enjoyable week of videos this week. Nice to see the end of the "Forsyth Audi Saga" (almost) 😚. Enjoy your weekend guys...🍻

[@davidwood7872]

Great to see the wheels turn on the Audi it’s been a long project 😎

[@barrykenward9178]

Cracking video, shame about the wheel kicked in, but as you said “that’s salvage” - 6 months, where’s the time gone 🤔👍👍

[@matthewc.419]

Well done lads 🔥🔥💝💝💝💝💝👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 Good to see the car running carnt believe its only a 1.0litre !!!!!!🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️🤷‍♂️ Take care have a nice weekend 😊😊🙏🙏 How did Chris get the farm ??? Was it his father's?????? What a ranch !!!!!!

Great stuff gentlemen, well done. Great to see it starting up

[@Eoinc773]

Lovely jubbly, favourite KZbin channel, thanks for taking us all on your endeavours

[@jackiemay9471]

on vw you disconnect the battery you will get power steering and tpms a few other lights till its driven and lock to lock till it learns abs sensors and sas i use ross tech site for code descriptions causes and solutions gives direction at least

[@sruk]

It’s crash data bud it has to be reset 👍

[@peterperry5378]

you are brilliant Rob with your explanations and methodology well done .

[@angry7518]

Another great vid. Literally every car you get in comes with over half a tank of fuel minimum, ha.

[@simonwaters1965]

I bet when they sell the cars, there’s a few dregs of fuel in the tank like a true garage 😞😂

[@daystatesniper01]

Nice video lads ,this tangy re-build is coming along quite nicely

[@marcusharrington4017]

Got a corsa at the moment that’s been a pain since I’ve bought it, looking for a good used car. Looking forward to see how this one goes 👍🏼

[@michael195b]

Result! Nearly there, won't be long to it's finished. Always enjoy the videos.

[@alancraigie7951]

Lads, as always, the best channel on KZbin. 👍

[@chrisbartram3034]

The PAS will probably sort itself with a few turns lock-to-lock. The angle sensors lose their calibration.

[@myalfie]

Great way to start my Saturday morning with a savage rebuild video thanks guys it was fantastic as usual! The Audi’s looking beautiful again.

[@markbennett6658]

A ‘savage rebuild video’ - Well certainly this SALVAGE project has taken a savage amount of time and effort to get moving under its own steam👍😂

[@superbear617]

Well done! Nice to see this one driving again. I hope you have a good weekend....
