DID THE £500 2016 MG STAY CHEAP AFTER THE REPAIR BILL ? £££

[@inchaseable1]

Chris is a machine. Wearing a hoody in a car in that heat ,doing a full dash in a flash.

[@bingbong7316]

I has been the coldest Spring in 10 years down south, the hoodie was needed with the north-easterly breeze for sure. You're right, he's quick - he's getting the next Merc dash lol

[@RWL2012]

​@@Annoyingirl221 needs a Salvage Rebuilds T-shirt!

[@darrenboffey9871]

Hi lads. The work is easy for you as you do it every day, I've been a builder for over 20 years and all the work I do is easy, don't go woke and apologise. Hope everyone enjoys there sunny weekend.

[@g.d2450]

that's one of those Chinese 'fook saic' engines

[@jhonchan4770]

Saic stands for shanghai automotive industry corporation. biggest car manufactory in china. started as a car repair shop in 1910 in shanghai now partners and produces gm , vw cars.

[@andyjacklin9950]

Yes Rob just the glove box out as long as the dashboard is still attached to it 😂😂

[@jsgamingtutorials9890]

These were very affordable when new, £8399 for a basic model - £10499 for the top of the range model with leather interior. Our local dealer regularly had brand new ones for less than the list price.

[@andyspencer1010]

Absolutely love it putting family first nice one guy's 👌👌👌

[@valleystaff7031]

Just gave my mother in law a new car. Im giving her the brake pads next week 😁

[@Alexander_l322]

Don’t forget to repair the brake lines as well 😂

[@arjanvanraaij8440]

Good one!.

[@iansuefray1572]

Rob, putting a commentary over the time lapse really raises the quality of your videos. You’re up there with the very best, Wednesdays and Saturdays have never been so good.

[@darrenmayberry]

No need to explain why the car isn't available to buy. Good job and it is a nice car. What an amazing gesture to arrange to get the car to your mother-in-law. Happy birthday to her as well.

[@redmed10]

Never understood how mechanics can disassemble so much stuff and put it back together and not end up short of screws or have too many left over.

[@johnmills7888]

You don’t have to justify what you do with the car Rob. Family first mate always! Love your content always.

[@darrenwhelan8173]

As Always Rob/ Chris pure gentlemen, lovely car to give to the Mum and as an added bonus its her Birthday, total respect for you guys. Loved the Video aswell.

[@neilstokescvwshrewsbury7939]

I Enjoy nothing more than watching a good KZbin video on a day off I’m surprised you guys have not been approached by a TV production company As I mentioned in the last video, Chris’s new found confidence is fantastic to watch. Another top draw video both 👍

[@Simon-ry1lw]

I watch more stuff on KZbin these days than anything else, the smart TV was the game changer when you could easily watch on big TV

[@chrisevans403]

Mate, you don't need to justify, its clear over the last few years of watching the channel that you guys have the highest levels of integrity and honesty. I`m no mechanic, but I watch to appreciate the level of skill and transparency in doing business.

[@ianruthven2868]

No need to justify where the car goes Rob, cracking content as always, always been unsure of the new MG's but not bad at all for a cheap run around 👍

[@steverandall5814]

Heater core replacement...the universally hated job by every mechanic in the world! Chris made the job look like nothing, but I think he could make brain surgery look like child's play too. Great set of priorities giving it to a family member instead of just flipping it. You're both good men with your priorities straight.

[@wirdy1]

You do realise that a car to friends or family means a commitment to fix it forever!. Been there, done that 😊.

[@anthonymillar6183]

You should do video of handing car to Claire’s mum rob 😊

[@davidjewood]

That’s not a glovebox out. It’s a glovebox out, out🤣

[@roypowell3450]

A very nice thought for Clare's mum Rob. I hope Chris left some change inside for fuel 😉!! Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys...

[@kevinnye5132]

Very Happy early Birthday Claire’s mum 👍🏻, just a reminder Rob it’s my Birthday soon too 😂😂👌🏻.

[@Jmcg1959]

You both should look after family, fair play to you. Another great video😀

[@Hjd10]

What is it with car manufacturers, they start a car build with the heater matrix...

[@tonydewey3023]

MG = mums go-kart, great saying from someone previous, 😂

[@markplenty2631]

Lovely birthday present.. great job guys

[@alanveck5756]

Is it common for a heater matrix to go on a car that’s only 7 years old? Another really interesting video, Thankyou Rob and Chris 👍👍👍

[@wayneo1234]

Don’t blame you guys family comes first would of been interested in the little MG tho 😊

[@PixelVogue]

Mum puts it up for 2500..... 🤣🤣

[@stewartwalker7740]

Lovely gesture Rob and happy birthday to Claire’s mum 🎉

[@jubrum2476]

Nice touch handing a replacement car over but it is a MG... not the nicest of chinese cars. you did a great repair though.

[@andrewentwistle515]

What a quick transformation job done on the MG3. It is nice to hear that it is off to Family and makes a Great Present. I look forward to seeing the next Project Vehicle for the Channel.

[@markofalltrades9229]

Which of you had the can of lynx out of the passenger door? 😆

[@DavidSmith-es5kw]

What a fantastic thing to do . Great work as always both of you. A video giving her the new car would be fantastic

[@martinthompson54]

Hi rob and Chris great job on the wee car, Rob anything to get in the mother in law good books lol, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless

[@nickluckleek2445]

Chris is one top dude when it comes to cars wish he lived near me but can't not mention Rob what a channel love it 😊

[@notrut]

I did hundreds of these on Maestro Vans in the 80s/90s ... It looks like nothing improved when MG Rover was sold to Nanjing Automobile/SAIC in 2006/7 by McBlair/McBrown/McDarling ...

[@islandhopperstuart]

Good job lads. However I would have air tested the new matrix prior to fitting: could be a generic problem....

[@bingbong7316]

Happy Birthday Clair's mum and enjoy your prezzy!

[@v88krb]

Got to look after mother in law!!

[@zampa4ever]

Bloody lot of work for the heater matrix. I did one back in the early 90’s on my old escort with one from a scrap yard. It took about 45 mins and no more than 6 screws. I’m not a mechanic.

[@rachaelwyatt754]

I do not understand people saying it is wrong to say a task is easy. As an example to fit a set of tracks on an Abbot SPG is extremely heavy but if you know what you are doing it is easy if tiring. It is obvious Chris knows what he is doing and often makes a job look a lot easier than it probably is. I am retired and disabled but I still know/ how to do certain jobs from memory. I could tell you how to fit a gearbox into a centurion with the Rolls-Royce Meteor. The non supercharged Merlin. Sorry if it is boring but some things you just do not forget. :)

[@mickymac6571]

I think it's the amount of work needed for a given task, all that disassembly for a simple part replacement,like removing a wing on a Renault to replace a lightbulb.😎

[@paulbate7872]

we got a 19 reg one in yellow wife loves it and of course family come first keep up the good work

[@Brinslade]

S.A.I.C is the name of the Chinese owner of MG. They are actually the largest car making in China. They also do work for VW., Skoda, Buick, and many other brands. Their Wu Ling mini car is the best seller in China.

[@trainmanbob]

Great little car Rob. Nice decision on the new owner....right to put family first. Well done to Rob and of course to Chris. Nobody does the matrix like Chris. Cheers, Bob

[@ShedTV]

A few hours work saves a useful runabout from the scrapyard. Great work chaps!

[@daisythecamperb9883]

Great little car , well done guys ,great to see you helping your family out. I've been watching a while ,you really don't have to justify what your doing with it . You guys are so genuine, you help so many people out and always ask fair money for an excellent job . Your both so genuine. Keep up the great work .

[@smiffy5467]

Your Mother in law is going to be well happy with that little car… My Mother in law rides a broomstick 🧹 😂 Nice one guys.

[@mikeymike3634]

My mother in law rides a broomstick as well. Dreading it failing an MOT for loss of bristles or woodworm.

[@deanwood2332]

its not disappointing Rob . you should look after family first.

[@johnpells5992]

Great video , a nice little car , good you can help out you’re family , on to the next one 😂😂good luck guys 👍👍👍

[@picklesrule69]

Family comes first, what a great present

[@richweighell7233]

bring back the days of the Cortina, 5 minutes under the bonnet and job done.

[@davidavis8190]

Another great job Rob , is there. Nothing Chris can't do top man , Great idea to give it to the mother in law , you guys did the work , And family comes first , 👍👍

[@raymondpearce5245]

Well done Rob it great to get it to Claire mum well done Rob and Chris a great video guys

[@seancoleman8528]

A lovely gesture to give as a present, why shouldn’t you have first dibs nicę

[@Audio178bpm]

£128? For oil,filter n plugs?? Not a chance.

[@petermoss9853]

Would love to see you guys do a Q&A Video

[@stevekelly5166]

To Robs' mother in law. Happy Birthday

[@bt1804]

Too cheap at £2000. Cheapest that I have seen is £3600 on a 14 plate

[@davidhughmurrayuk]

That’s a retail price. Should be cosmetically refurbished and have a profit margin for that, which probably means whoever sold that car would pay right around £2k for it (although you could take off the service and valet from the margin).

[@stevendavies8070]

Good on you guys, hope she enjoys her little run about, if I had given my mother in law a car I would of cut the brake pipes first, only joking 🤣😂

[@richardjones5255]

Totally applaud the whole production this time. Yes, it was a-spanners-by-numbers-game and a lovely no-nonsense fault and fix. Time-consuming with all the bolts to pull and return to their homes, but what a lovely sounding little engine. I know my hearing can leave a lot to be desired, but when you were speaking having left it running, I thought you made a mistake and had switched it off. If you cannot support the family at no cost to the partnership, who can you look after?

[@essexdavenorton]

as the old saying goes family always comes first

[@duncanmcewan1049]

SAIC is an abbreviation (so S.A.I.C.) - Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation. The new MG might have no relation to the MG of old - but they seem decent cars.

[@stuart2897]

Fair play to you both . It's good it's going to a family member. Enjoy all your videos. Look forward to seeing the mercedes finished.

[@kevingould6725]

Family first especially the mother in law. What a great little run around.

[@timtaylor9080]

I'd recommend testing the new part. Unless you work for the government. They do everything at least twice

[@markknott6477]

Perfect little run around for the mother in-law 👍 blood over water all day long Rob!

[@deenunya7735]

Good little Car, Rob,if that ULEZ Comes into play, I'm Guessing it will Cover Your Location, How will affect you? , all the Different Vehicles & Here there everywhere fir the Parts Etc

[@ianbradley9838]

Happy birthday to Clare’s mum ! Enjoy the new wheels 🎉

[@mrpaul5726]

What a great place for the Car to go, you and Chris look after everyone else so of course you have to look after your own, spot on my friend.

[@nealterry5]

You don't have to justify what you do with any of the vehicles. As long as you and Chris are happy, that's all that matters.

[@taxidude]

Well done lads. Great patience. I have bad dreams about jobs like that.

[@1970boggy]

Really not my sort of car but great video guys It’s your company guys, you always have first choice.

[@Simon-ry1lw]

I changed a heater matrix on my MK2 Cortina in 1978 and weren't as difficult as that 😬

[@Graham_Langley]

The one on my 205GTI slid out to the RHS of the heater while still in the car and would have been even easier on a LHD one without the column getting in the way. Had a 306 XSI after it and its heater matrix failed twice, the first while still under warranty. That was a dash out job.

[@krisshutler]

I think for content that viewers request a car with a budget. Leave Rob and Chris to find the motor. Run it through the workshop. Viewer buys

[@ianwaddell2421]

Exellent lads brilliant keep it up

[@davidshattock9522]

The parts getter is awelcome diversion in the heat I think I am not a Harley fan.normally .but your one is tastefully done.and nice

[@jimhartland1939]

Family first fella every time

[@loviedebiasio8864]

Thats a great thing to give her the car. You guys are the best

[@-DC-]

Last Heater Matrix I did was a Sierra lying upside down in the footwell 25 years ago 🤣, You guys earn every penny 💪.

[@tiocfaidharlaeringobragh2623]

That was what I did my very first matrix on 28 yr ago my back still hurts now 😂😂

[@philtucker1224]

Rob the time and effort you put into repairing these little cars is mind blowing. I can’t help thinking that after 2030, the value of this type of salvage and reclamation work on (pre-electric) is going to skyrocket..

[@thedeadstig123]

Those 1500cc engines are pretty bomb proof, they even have a timing chain You don't hear much go wrong with them tbh

[@andynightingale7335]

Family first Rob. Lovely thing to do for her. Top stuff lads .

[@seanfindlay4054]

Rob ,, fair play to you , I knew it wasn't gonna get sold to anyone ,, as you say family come first before anyone ,, it's a classic little car ,, happy driving to its new owner ,, enjoy many more miles in Mandy 👌👍😉

[@leonb2637]

Sure you could have sold it for a profit but you do have to consider keeping the family happy. Seems like a good choice for the mum. You and Chris did a nice job and a bit of 'sweat equity' into it. Too bad you had to degas the a/c but your trade connections and on the other work held the cost down.

[@markswift1477]

Great outcome, I am sure Claire,s mum will be delighted, happy days alround, happy birthday Claire’s mum

[@kevinfisher7142]

Made a lovely little car for her, well done again guys.

[@scott02464]

Mate you don’t need to justify where the car is going, you deserve to do as you please with it bud

[@KevinJones-ye3vw]

Family is family Rob , & family comes first . Nice little car , great video . Looking forward to the next one . Oh and if the job is easy to you guys just say it's easy , that is what you do , & you do it every day . I work for a car manufacture and to me my job is very easy because i'm used to it .

[@hfraat25]

Whatever the car if it's basically sound it does what they are supposed to. Transport a2b. Nothing wrong with a b....r

[@adriansmith1410]

Make a great first car for someone who's just past there test everything works now😉👌spot on

[@chriswilkes4350]

It's your car, Rob, so no need to worry about the car being available. Seems like a nice little car at a good price.

[@MizraPaul]

SAIC is an acronym for Shanghai Automotive Industry Corporation

[@garyquartley1084]

Well done Rob, no better outcome for this little runabout. Just changing the subject, I heard McDonalds are stopping disposable coffee beakers. You'll have to take a reuseable one in. What are you going to do for your nuts and bolts?

[@marke293]

Rob do you mind sharing what branch of A2 tyres did you use for the alignment ? As I would like to take my car there for the alignment. Keep tha cameras rolling great content as always

[@paultaylor9652]

Cheap motoring, if that's all you want, you pay your money that's what you get.

[@ernestpeacock5671]

You've saved another car from the scrap yard nice one 👍

[@timbird5494]

Great video Rob the talk over is brilliant thanks for making these videos 👍👍

[@johndoyle4723]

You have to be brave to own one of these older MGs, but you get what you pay for. Thanks for the video very interesting.

[@gunder3]

Stupid question, if you have the big oil drainer why not use it. Cheers from Melbourne
