Tell you what fellas,i wouldnt think twice about buying a vehicle from you,you know its going to be 100% 👍

[@SugeRealest]

With cars there is no guarantee it won't fail, brand new cars break.

[@200degrees.]

I was thinking the exact same mate .

[@itsmephil2255]

Same here,you know Chris and Rob have gone through any vehicle with a fine tooth comb

[@jasonhobbs5611]

@@SugeRealest yeah all things break but it will not be down to negligence from Rob and Chris

[@SugeRealest]

@@jasonhobbs5611 yh but unsuspecting customer buying will always feel like u had em over when car breaks down

[@jeffhunterhoskins69]

Hi Rob and Chris I live and work on the Isle of Wight and yesterday saw the chassis cab you took the bed off and it still had the timber on the frame with the mudguards attached interesting and informative content as always keep up the great work

[@gc5384]

Thanks for the update

[@brianallen858]

Can't beat the salvage rebuilds UK videos 👍👍👍

[@andrewreynolds8233]

Got to agree , absolute quality 2 guys who really know there stuff 👍👍👍👍👍

[@fookdatchit4245]

I absolutely love the longer videos and no compromise on the quality. Rob you were born for this you tube lark. Excellent work.

[@islandhopperstuart]

Rob, to confirm absence of coolant leaks I'd always pressurise the system with air to force coolant through any leak paths. Much quicker than getting the engine hot, and you have a cold engine to work on afterwards.

[@arthurblundell6128]

You both obviously take great pride in doing jobs well rather than quickly - great to see all the different vehicles and jobs

[@richardsheil5289]

Well and quickly

[@stuart30ful]

I've just had an amazing idea for a stand alone video. Rob comes and collects my Vivaro Van and Chris can then prep it for full respray and sort out some cosmetic issues along the way. Once done Rob can clean it to new van standards and before crunching the numbers you lads could give it a full service and brim the tank with fuel. Obviously as its "Content" for the channel...you surprise us all by saying "No no this is on us no need to pay". You free Friday afternoon for Collection Rob...lol.

[@chrisbardell]

Great vid. We all go on about Chris’s engineering skills, but Rob ain’t no slouch either. Well done on this punt, definitely worked out.

[@keithfletcher6123]

Chris walks through closing scene … obviously Rob’s visual cue for “waffling on”. Chris must set a timer … 🤣

[@ColinPrince]

Really enjoyed this series. I can’t understand why car manufacturers make things so complicated, I guess it’s to put people off repairing them yourself!

[@TheOriginalDaveJ]

Another cracking job gents. I love watching and interacting in your videos. Keep up the good work and keep the content coming. I think the majority of us would like to see Chris doing the bodywork, it would give some of us the confidence to try it ourselves. Wee tip for the copper washers (any copper washer). Heat them up till they're orange then dip them in water. Softens them up up you get a perfect seal.

[@ConnorA21]

Great video, you are correct definitely pot luck trying with that van, you both do such amazing mechanical work, ignore the haters, keep the work up, you two definitely deserve a holiday 👍👌 you always give me a ❤️ so kindness is always appreciated and free of charge so here's some back ❤️ lol

[@DecalCentralUK]

I admire your fairness Rob, well done on the van mate

[@gdfggggg]

I’m a trained diesel mechanic and worked on Volvo trucks back in the day. I’ve no idea if you guys are qualified but if you have a basic understanding of engines and a bit of common sense most things are doable. And, these days there’s so much information available there’s no reason why we shouldn’t have a bash.

[@vegasphil]

Would you consider doing a bit of a camper project on it? LWB is ideal - Pop top, window van conversion and a camper furniture/bed build. Would be worth strong money for a nicely finished van and hold their value well too. You both seem to like your campers and with your attention to detail and skill it would be great to see!

[@DanLeeds10]

Glad it’s worked out so well, they definitely do really suit the colour coded/sporty look so can see why you’re both tempted to go down that route.

[@andrewforeman5716]

Good to see you taking the lead Rob. You and Chris should be well happy with the results of this project.

[@robinjones6999]

Nice one Rob - all the best

[@alexandermcalpine4691]

Good work guys 👏🏻

[@pathallinan3920]

Top draw stuff again lads, its great to see two honest lads grafting and making a few Bob

[@MarkSmith-io3qd]

I’d make a campervan/day van conversion out of it. Good content for the channel and with all the staycations going on in the U.K. , you’d make a good profit out of it.

[@neilt7145]

If there's uneven wear on each side of the rear brakes you need to take the sliders out, clean them up and put some slider grease on them. Fantastic channel guys.

[@ryanj8283]

Cracking work as per lads! Wouldn’t think twice buying a vehicle from you, always go extra mile instead of just throwing them out

[@williamgrady4088]

What a good feeling to know the vehicles you buy are as good as sold before you even work on them. Brill content as usual

[@alexjones3103]

One of the best car/van/engine sites on KZbin.

[@laurafogg6064]

Lovely job that. Amazes me how you two are never phased and make every job look easy. Top jobs

[@andrewwilson1118]

Another one bites the dust keep them coming 👍👍

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, great video and what a nice van.. colour code it, put alloys on it guy's, it'll look really smart.. cheers, Alex.

[@CF21LDB]

Ah lads brilliant you always pull it off. Rob don’t worry about the time lapses you can’t be expected to record live all the time would take you hours alone to just to upload it.

[@itsmephil2255]

And it's videos like this is why I love watching SR-UK Awesome job guys

[@ianratcliffe2299]

Cracking video guy’s, you took a massive risk and it paid off 👍 I think Chris wants to put a set of alloys on it get it colour coded and then give you a cheque and keep it for himself you can tell he’s in love with it 😍

[@mattridge5986]

Great result on the van. Defo colour code it and keep it. 👏👌👌

[@jackmillin]

Top upload again guys 😎👍

[@stevenjones1972]

Hello Rob, great work on the Transit Custom,it runs sweet now,alot of hard work gone into it.the results are worth it.

[@wardw1169]

Love the channel guys! Just learned about it, now watching earlier episodes. Am i mechanic myself, but nice to watch you guys fixing things. Geetings from Holland.

[@mikedarling-holmes5434]

Great turnaround on the vans you do guys -the usual great content we expect of course !

[@robertarmstrong905]

Loving your channel from Harrisburg,Pennsylvania USA.

[@stevewhite1444]

Great video and loved the bit where Chris is sat on the wheelie stool with a cuppa supervising 😀That one paid off and just shows how with some investigation vehicles can be saved. I think Chris has his eye on the van, coloured coded and alloys? Could be for Chris? Looking forward to Friday already 👍

[@ianberry1713]

Another fantastic ‘wrap’ video guys. Really appreciating the longer content.

[@13smarts1]

Great viewing, I am in Australia, have found from previous experience with these Puma engines that quite often you can get parts a lot cheaper through Land Rover, as this engine was used in the Defenders, and Land Rover don't charge as much as Ford do for some parts! (might help if you ever do another one)

[@paulkelly3012]

Another good in depth video guys, many thanks. Roll on Friday !!!

[@md-detailing]

Great video as Always :D Just detailed a Croatian police Transit today,came out really well ! I just love you honesty Rob and Chris,we need more pepole like you :D

[@benevans3733]

You two guys work so hard and chris is a legend

[@donok2222]

Love how you explain stuff. Never change

[@peterdavies3862]

Van looks fantastic, well done Rob & Chris - experts in bringing the dead back to life! Seriously, its so satisfying to watch you pair at work and the end result - especially the numbers at the end.....

[@bedclintred]

It's been a great watch. 👍😁😎🌞

[@mariohughes2289]

You guys are amazing. What a cracking video. Your attention to detail is faultless. Someone's going to get a very tidy van.

[@stevebobojones]

Pure Talent Rob n Chris,the next video suggestion by u Tube was a Orange Transit with a pop up roof camper conversion long wheelbase looked great I think you have struck gold with that one .

[@mrdeafa25]

Fascinating to watch. I don't know one end of an engine from another but its amazing to see what you achieve on your vehicles and what a high standard you get them to before sending to market. Great stuff.

[@michaelwalker1145]

You can update that front end to the latest one. There is a load of things hidden in them vans ,especially the basic ones. The wiring is there for a 12 volt outlet on the drivers side where the rear light wires are. Custom owners club is the place to look .

[@joshuawoodford7977]

Can’t stop watching your videos, keep up the excellent work Rob and Chris!

[@generalt1090]

Great job lads! Glad it all worked out!

[@benevans3733]

Hope you are both staying safe and well

[@GRfourfun]

Brilliant video as always, you really turned this one around. Considering you’ve never done one of these engines before, it’s very impressive. This is my favourite channel on You tube, great content that’s always interesting to watch. Thanks lads.

[@jo_clarke1960]

Shows what knowing means, diagnosed and repaired instead of jumping in with engine change. Looks good, keep/sell, do bumpers, not etc. I'm sure at some me stage you'll wish you kept it, just depends on how much you need the extra carrying capacity daily. 👍

[@terrymatthews1726]

Another good and well detailed video and a result you've both had with the van it just shows from the amount of people wanting to buy it that you and Chris do a 💯% good job.👍👍

[@pamboskourtoulos5239]

The time lapse makes it looks like a simple repair. But to me it looked like a nightmare. Great video showing alot of patience. Take care.

[@trishhartland5156]

Lovely video again and this time Rob showing his skills your normally behind the camera filming Chris, it was lovely to see how talented you are too, you have a fabulous team between the two of you there’s nothing that can’t be fixed I do love this channel I’d love to see you guys get a tv show I think it would be brilliant

Great video guys do wheels and colour code bumbers looks brilliant anyway well done

[@memyself7413]

I don`t think there are any other mechanics or vehicle traders that will match you two for straightforwardness, honesty and integrity. If I hadn`t have witnessed it, I would have doubted it. What an absolute pleasure to have found your channel.

Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

[@sprograt]

Glad to see it up and running. Keep those videos coming.👍

[@adamtoms2726]

Excellent number there gents, nice when a gamble pays off. In regards to colour coding, if the buyer wants to do that it can be something they do. I don't imagine you'd see a return on that extra effort, but a nice idea. Keep up the great work.

[@malcelwell7209]

Hi rob love the videos but can I give you a quick tip and save you some hassle. When you leave the key in the bonnet release it’s prone you get snapped off when you walk passed it 👍

[@JayJay-cy5us]

Love a good crunchy waffle keep up the good work guy’s 👍🏻👍🏻😁

[@MattMcKimmie]

Well guys I love the fact you give us all the info very clear and precise.My mates always wonder how I know about cars etc it due to watching and listening to guys like yourselves.Keep up the hard graft Matt in Aberdeen

[@davidhughes1634]

Well done Rob & Chris,you took a chance & lucky it payed off, never the less you still had to do the wk,colour coded the bumpers make it stand out from the rest & look more apealing.
