No one else is doing content like this . I’m truly shocked that you manage to find the time and genuine enthusiasm , to keep publishing these . I mean two a week is a huge commitment. Simply marvelous

[@xvsupremacy7190]

Agreed and it’s still not enough , the more the merrier, now the grandson is latching on and he doesn’t even drive !

[@Bootneck-RMC]

As someone who has been following the channel since not long after it started, I have just realised something after watching this video. Most vehicle repair/rebuild channels, as they get bigger, tend to rush through the repairs and builds and also edit out a lot of what is going on. With salvage rebuilds uk, it's the total opposite. I have noticed that you explain things more in-depth now than you did when you were a really small channel and you also explain exactly whats going on right down to the changing of the smallest screw and nut & bolt and I don't know about the other viewers, but I for one am truly grateful that you do this, as I have learnt a massive amount about the repairing of cars just from watching this channel. Not only is this channel entertaining, but it's one of the best vehicle repair educational channels on KZbin and that includes the ones on the other side of the pond as well. So, a massive thank you from me Rob & Chris, and I just hope that all the other viewers appreciate what you do for us as well. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🙏👍

[@sruk]

Thank you for the lovely message bud much appreciated and thank you for the continued support 👍

[@sammytheseal2307]

I have to second all of that 👍

"One o'clock Sunday, there'll be another film for ya!" We're being spoiled lately guys. What's not to like!👍😆

[@simongoodey490]

Anybody that lays their engine parts out on the bench as precisely as you two do (7.24) is never going to fail. Great Job!

[@daveq8338]

What a superb genuine channel this is. Good to see your enjoyment out of getting something working where others have given up

[@Ktmandsuzuki]

Love that saying suck, squeeze,bang blow. I was taught that as an apprentice 22 years ago

[@saturninofantetti828]

Yeah I love it too, learned it 45 years ago when I too was an apprentice mechanic.

[@smoothmicra]

Modern engines so well engineered and robust, that one has done a few miles and will do a few miles more with the new belts and covers. Good job chaps.👍

[@deanwainwright4204]

Wahay, brew time whilst Chris works and Rob natters on... 💯🤣🙃

[@dozerblade]

Thank goodness for entertaining channels like yours Rob , TV these days is crap!

[@jackmillin]

I bet fords 2 year 30K miles oil change interval plays a good part in these engines dieing. We've got a load of them at work and to think the oil only gets changed once every 2 years or 30K miles is mad, they get start stop hammered from 7AM until 5PM everyday and not one will have the oil level checked in that time either. Top upload again 👍😎

[@JulesAtCumbria]

Love the fact that you're so CHUFFED, Rob, even with CHUFFING injectors! Great work!

[@alcasey3551]

From time to time I read some of the comments and, from time to time, I see the odd comment about Rob not doing as much as Chris! What those people don't realize is that Rob works on most weekends, films & edits the videos, picks up ther projects, does the MOTS, cleans the cars and yes repairs them as well. Now Chris is more repairs orineted and more reserved but Chis deals with the customers, buys parts, picks them up. Each one of them has their own strenghts! You don't really think they should be the exact copy of each other or their partnership wouldn't be beneficial to either of them! They need to be able to complete each other to make for a great success; which they are. Just my $0.02; some comments really rub the wrong way and are of no added value, I think.

[@Elvis_TheKing]

“Wang it over, Chris!” 😁 Love it!!!

[@NeilsCarsAviationTravel]

So happy for you both. All the garages we spoke to just wanted to replace the engine. It’s been great following the work and will definitely be ordering a Wang it over T-Shirt on the weekend.

[@georgedavidarthur274]

what a nightmare from an old guy used to 1960,s to 1990,s motors ,,,,, congrats to you guys.....

[@dallass8665]

Love watching you guys from Aussie land all the rebuilds you do keep up the good work and thanks for the great content 😉

[@geordieron5864]

Rob and Chris. Bravo to both of you, this must be up there as one of the most interesting and intuitive videos you've put out. Nothing comes sweeter than success!

[@BlackLung911]

I used to own a 1990 2.5Di Transit Custom with lift tailgate. One of the best vehicles I ever owned, until it got nicked in August 1999.

[@alanmulley6484]

omg you guys are awesome. You show everything important and relevant. Can't believe how thorough you both are and it has been a joy to watch you do this repair. It is so refreshing to see mechanics(engineers) do a job properly and explain everything so well. Just subscribed and look forward to watching more of your videos

I love these videos where you have to do some detective work to diagnose what is wrong with an engine and fix it. Great work fellas, keep it up!

[@mikeclifton7778]

I think we were all nervous about the restart, in fact, if we had been a studio audience you'd have been handing out cigars like a proud new father! The look on your face was priceless! Thanks for making my day!

[@sruk]

Lol 👍

[@richardjones5255]

Phew, some interesting new angles on engine rebuilding in this one. I am glad the valves were all okay, and that there was no head damage or the like. Certainly engine design has changed over the years, Engine bays looked crowded these days, but the complexity of the drives in that engine were something else. You have the essential patience to make sure that all those timing points are right, but that was the only way to get it all set up and well worth the care you took. It sounded lovely once it started and was clearly a much happier motor than before. The rest of the journey should now be a less tense journey to success and another nice result. A great start for the weekend - shame about today's weather, anyone for boating? If Sunday is like today, your weekend video will be welcomed by thousands.

[@decmason9140]

Fantastic job, Lads. You got stuck straight in, with your usual attention to detail and all the proper checks and tests. Proper fault-finding. It certainly paid off. Top blokes.

[@rodhili3946]

The first start up after a rebuild is one of the most satisfying things ever. I punched the air when it started. How sad am I? Since my dad rebuilt the engine on his morris 12 it's got me every time.

[@andywakefield9826]

Iv said it before but the mutual respect between you both is great to see. Also theirs no ego from either of you. And as much knowledge you both may have you still take on other people's suggestions. Great blokes. Keep it up 👌

Brilliant guys hi I'm a mechanic from Dublin just finished 2018 transit custom 2.0 ecoblue replaced cam belts and oil pump belts oil pump and vacuum pump oil light was flickering on and off belts were starting to break apart and clogging up the pump pick up these engine high cost regular maintenance there only 85000 kilometres with regular servicing

[@sruk]

Luckily the oil pick up filter was still allowing oil to pass through. Most of the debris was in the bottom of the sump and I think it has the upgraded oil pickup fitted

[@trevorjarvis3021]

Rob and Chris that was absolutely brilliant, - to think that every single one of us that watches the video today has learned something through it. To be fair I was as excited as you Rob and indeed just as pleased that it ran ok! Wow, what a job!! Ford designed and brought out the model T Ford in 1908 which had such a simple engine / design - where on earth did the engine in this Transit come from??

[@banksy2012]

Your sounded as happy as Larry when that started well done both of you you had me grinning from ear to ear

Rob/Chris at one time we ran 60 Customs but now down to 40 now actually like the vans but mechanically bloody awful things.We only keep the ones we have now for 21/2 years or 60000 mks that way we avoid major mechanical issue's or at least most of them.We have also found that parts very expensive and also the vans are not that cheap to buy anymore.we have bought some of the latest vivaro,s but I think they may not do so well.We are I think going to buy around 35 of the latest Renault Traffics after all can't be any worse than the Customs,hopefully,also Ford back up is sometimes awful..

[@mark_p300]

I'm still sitting here scratching my head, wondering what the heck the engineers were thinking with that one. It's a completely unserviceable assembly! Just to get their hands on a new one entailed buying an entirely new engine and stripping it for parts! Madness. According to other comments this is a Peugeot engine? It looks nothing like any Ford engine I've seen in North America; not that we have many little four-cylinder diesels over here in the first place...
