[@My_father_was_a_toolmaker]

One important number you forgot to crunch , how much change did Chris find.

[@Charlie_Crown]

😆👍

[@iainf]

That selector fork is a classic case of someone holding it in 5th on the gearstick. Tbh you would likely have got away with a new selector & a mainshaft nut tighten but a box at £100 is a no brainer.

[@VSTV1993]

This is why i never hold the gearstick after changing gear unless im going to change from one gear to another pretty quick

[@iainf]

@@VSTV1993 exactly. I cut my teeth in circuit racing & even now all these years later my hands are still in the ‘race position’ as you just never know when you’ll be put sideways. I had one bloke try to drive me off the road once-except I’m sort of used to that. Looking back I wish I had put him on his roof.

[@davidspedding3523]

Great video guys, spring and ball bearing on the 5th gear selector is called the detent - that’s what stops it jumping back out of gear 👍

[@paulriggers1558]

" hiya love, salvage rebuilds have got my old van on + they are fixing it up, lets watch it together over tea" 21:40, "THATS NOT MY EAR-RING YOU ******** GET OUT" " thanks lads, i'll get my coat" keep up the good work chaps...

[@kriscameron81]

Who else wants to no what the key ring said 🤔😉😂😂

[@thomasmorris9587]

Cracking little van for someone. Chris was in his element with all that change on the go! Interested to know exactly how much he found during his little treasure hunt 🤣

[@nevillemorley5926]

Very handy fix to the gearbox. Interesting video. Thanks to a viewer for his advice.

[@stephenricketts7764]

That will now be a good little runabout for someone. I don't remember ever seeing bearings showing like that, strange. I like the quick fix for the gearbox, pitty they're not all like that saves a lot of work. Thanks Rob and Chris for yet another intereesting video.

[@karter5351]

Great to see the new gear sorted the 'wibbly wobbly' old one, that was a good steer the viewers gave on that repair.

[@michaelstaunton1632]

Monday’s always get better when an new video from SR UK comes on ! Great job guys 👍👍

[@robertallen3441]

The technical term for the selector fork ball bearing is a detent. A slightly undersize socket holding the ball in would make fitting the selector easier.

[@johnglover9935]

Bought an 03 reg Berlingo at 12 months old. Used it for courier business for 8 years and hammered the nuts off it. bloody thing was indestructible! Recommend them all day long.

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

I tell you something it's not very often you see a couple of guys working together with such a good rapour as you guys. Total legends 🙂

[@howardlake6178]

Liked as always! Someone I know has a fleet of jiffy vans going round building sites etc, and he got a bit sick of Citroen suspension parts wearing out, so now buys the Toyotas, which are also slightly bigger. Great ride in a French van though. Looks like that one has a new lease of life due to you two 😀

[@toddlerj102]

Nice little van for someone. Comline definitely helped you on this one an made it worthwhile for a vid 👍

[@ryanhanks1913]

Watching this on holiday in Portugal can’t get enough guys

[@mikeharvey9844]

Selector wear often caused by drivers resting their hands on the gear lever, causing the selector to rub constantly and wear out. Keep hands on the steering wheel. Great vid guys.

[@charlieboyok]

mike harvey , here in Australia we steer with our left hand & lean the right on drivers side door , so there is little chance the gear knob gets a workout. ( abit like council workers leaning on the shovels hahahaha)

[@misterthegeoff9767]

@@charlieboyok Tried that once on a long drive down to the South of France. Spent the next week with a suntan on only one arm.

[@tomtodhunter1776]

That's a cracking little van for the money, it's cleaned up lovely, and certainly doesn't look high miles. I like the coated brake discs. Chris has done alright, change wise! Lol! I used to use shoe scuff cover liquid on worn gaiters, just to tidy them up. It works a treat. Shame about the BMW, but it'll help lots more with parts. Top work. 👍

[@acchaven]

Any chance you could give Chris a mic. Hard to hear him at times.

[@dubiousricardo]

Lot of older manuals had that on last gear cos drivers used to rest their hand on the gear knob putting slight pressure on the selector and that tab, one you showed us, would wear!

[@jbbumpkin]

The word you are looking for to describe the spring, ball bearing and groove is, I believe, a detent.

[@jofh7633]

I put some comline discs on a few months back. They still look like brand new! Great products 👍

[@mrmeg01]

Best teeth in the business

[@marksheyworth7888]

got lucky there with that 5th gear.I have been watching some early videos from you guys and its amazing how Chris has grown into the Chanel

[@anthonymillar6183]

Cheap wee van rob 👍 it’s funny how Chris gets so excited when he’s finding change 😂 👍 👍

[@rhiantaylor3446]

You need to have a good long look at the returns made on that van - way, way better than most. Keep it coming please !

[@trainmanbob]

The Salvage Rebuilds team done good again. Well done guys. Totally right not to do the bodywork....saves a dig into the profit and really isn't necessary for the kind of tradesperson who is going to buy it. Cheers, Bob

[@stephenwhittaker741]

Rob is it true that you once dropped a pound coin and Chris reacted so quickly to grab it that it hit him on the back of the head? 😂 Great video once again and one of the best car channels on KZbin. Keep up the terrific work chaps 👍

[@wotrulke5868]

Nice quick fix if you know what you are doing as you both obviously do! Great video thanks for sharing guys 👍🏼

[@kevinmatthews2620]

Chris and his technical terms"wibbly wobbly" a cracking termonolgy :) :)

[@paulthepill]

That was interesting, I had 5th gear go on my XTR and was told about tightening the nut without dropping the box out. I'm not a mechanic so phoned around a few places for quotes and came across a few scammers not interested in doing any work on the box but offered me a refurbed fitted one for £1500. I did find a honest garage who talked me through what they'd do, they did have to change the gear which they kept and showed me and it was exactly like the one in this vid, I was charged just under £400 and was well happy, the garage is now my go to for all work that's needed.

[@marksaunders2500]

Hi from durham guys👋👍 great job on this one another quick flip to keep you going 👌 do someone well and nice to learn about 5th gear install👍and those mounts where shot like ""hanging like a picture "" hanging! "" thanks for your time guys be safe and see you soon👍👋

[@trevorjarvis3021]

What a superb video Rob and Chris!! Great to see the work being done out side on the yard, just as many of us would have done. Lovely fifth gear repair, how simple is that!! - it’s going to be a good sorted van for somebody no doubt about that. How many pennies / £ eventually went in the coffee fund? 😂🤣✊

[@thomasfrancis5747]

Guys - use the coins (and earring?) you found towards a new heavy duty spring compressor set - they're only £20 or so.

[@tee_m]

Good little van at the end of it, think the price is fair given the current level of demand. Looking forward to the new project already!

[@peterdavies3862]

Super work on the van and that should give a good few years of hassle free service to the new owner. Meanwhile Chris is obviously being paid sub-minimum wage for his efforts....scrabbling around for spare change - what's he like?!

[@anthonyhawkins9239]

As described 👍, nice little van that will get someone out of trouble 🤓👍, nice job on 5th gear ⚙️👍

[@mr4x41111]

Nice quick fix. Nice one guys. Know it will sell straight away.

[@paulie-Gualtieri.]

Definitely worth saving, proven itself to be a reliable and capable van.

Great video, Rob and Chris, love your videos, many thanks

[@martinthompson54]

Hi rob and Chris, another great show, what a great wee van, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

I expect you will be inundated with buyers for that van. It will serve somebody well for very little money. Excellent.

Nice little cheapie , great result for you boys , really nice to see you doing well for yourselves You both work hard and obviously have a great relationship Long may it continue Health wealth and happiness lads 😉

[@hoggmotorsport]

Excellent content again guys 👌 Cheap enough little van for someone with a full test too! Had to laugh at Chris fishing for money 😂 and was that what he disappeared off to do when the new project arrived 😂😂 Thanks for the update on the Beema 👍

[@americanrambler4972]

I am really getting to enjoy all those little baby cargo vans you guys are working on and returning to service. These guys are carving out a place on my car bucket list. Those things are cute and cuddly little guys. Silver color really looks good on this little guy. I normally don’t like hub caps (wheel trims) but on these little vans, they dress them up to be quite spiffy. I bet they are economical, light and nimble little town puddle jumpers. Not something we see much of here. The Nissan NV 200 and the old upright Ford Transit Connect’s are the closest equivalents we have here in the states. These shorty vans are not often seen here in the states.

[@misterthegeoff9767]

I have the minivan version of the same and they really are cracking little motors. 50+ mpg on long trips, 45 around town and the load bed is 6'x4' with the back seats out so big enough to do proper work. Mine's converted into a micro camper because that's just about big enough to stick a bed in the back even. Sadly they aren't gonna make it to the states unless you guys repeal the chicken tax or a domestic manufacturer realises there's a market for them. Even the transit connects only made it to the states as a loophole where they sent them over as minivans then converted them back to cargo spec.

[@americanrambler4972]

@@misterthegeoff9767 the chicken tax is not going away anytime soon. The politics of it is very very deeply imbedded in our congressional infrastructure to make any significant change to it. However, there is a bit of a loophole due the current USMCA (ex-NAFTA) agreements. They could be made in Canada or Mexico and sold in the US. Very much in the same way the Ram Promaster is made in Mexico and sold in the US.

[@squeakers27]

Another great video. Van looks alot tider than you make it out to be. Very tidy with the occasional knock and scratch which for 10 year old van with 150k+ isn't bad at all. And the technical term for those top mounts and 5th gear selector is 'fubar' haha

[@mcplindgren]

Brilliant to see this van really get the 2nd lease of life, especially with the parts being cheap/free. Good to see the gearbox was relatively straightforward considering and it will give someone many years service now 🙂

[@johnginty2715]

Great job lads. Turned out great. I can totally understand Chris and the coin thing. I worked as a valetor in a rover main dealer many years ago. As I hoovered the vehicles I loved to hear the clang of coins going up the hoovers metal tube. I couldent wait to empty that hoover each evening at closing time. And if you took seats and centre console out that was a treasure trove!!. You never lose that little bit of excitement. Eh Chris??😅😅👍👍

I had worn forks on my 1970 MKII Cortina. Due, I believe, to resting my hand on the gear stick while driving. Pressure then constant against the gears wearing the brass. Considering this van is 5th, suggest it’s the same cause, especially higher mileage.
