Quick trip to collect a top quality purchase

Quick run out to collect a van! Is it spares or worth repairing ?

[@tonyblake642]

I can carry 3,500kg in my Peugeot Boxer van. Only at night though for some reason.

[@josephrowley2172]

Or on a Friday!

[@petermorgan8311]

Rough arse mechanic rides again!!! Fucking love it 👍🏻

I used to be a recovery driver and drove a Bedford AWD Beaver tail and a spec lift AWD Bedford and also a Ford Cargo 7.5t beaver tail. That was until I changed jobs in 1999. The spec lifts were mot exempt but the beaver tails were not. All were tacho exempt. A couple of years after I left, I heard by one of the drivers who drove Iveco spec lifts all drivers needed HGV licences because of towing vehicles on the spucs and the weights being towed. The company was not going to put hte drivers through hte hgv test and said it was the drivers to pay for it or find other jobs. Nearly all the drivers left and the company closed down. lol

Iam a DIY mechanic (own car only) have been for 20 years.. everytime I watch your videos I wonder what is he working on today 😂😂... love your videos.... "Top quality parts"😊

[@brentsmith5647]

Brilliant video thank u 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@simonjones7785]

if your only recovering broken down or non runners then it is classed as recovery no need for an operator license , but like you AL iused to run a tacho plate (mot tacho cert to those who dont know )I used to run an 814 alongside a sprinter and a daf 45

[@paultaylor9652]

As always a great watch, keep them rolling out.

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

Cracking video as always Al 👍

[@steve5772]

Parrot's looking a bit sick - Love it! 🤣

[@jamesward5721]

If that came in here, it would be classed as "Just slight rust" compared to the usual Sprinters I get to work on.

[@jamesward5721]

Them compression reduction injectors are for making starts easier - they ensure even the crappest battery can turn the engine over... if you fix 'em, you'll need a bigger battery,,,,

[@Mark---]

Brilliant content. Learned a few things as well 👍 Especially enjoy when you rescue a car that's stood for years and you get it running. Cheers 🍻

[@johnshaw4140]

nice one Al , a few more spares for the parts bin

[@JohnHonda101]

This is so refreshing seeing stuff like this, you're doing a great job.

[@davidlough2182]

Brilliant video Al as always. Definitely some injector seal issues there 😬😁

[@martynfilmer8177]

Stumbled across your channel really enjoying it the way you come across is brilliant don't take anything too seriously 😂

[@petercodrington3558]

Top notch work as always. Thanks for sharing

[@PaddyWV]

Good you "know your onions" (and weights and measures), the M6 Constabulary in Lancashire (I've seen "tweeted") are regularly bemused by the number of overladen Sprinter vans they come across.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Hi 👋🏻 Al. Fantastic as always 👍🏻 Loved the parrot 🦜 joke off the cuff lol 😂 Why do folk just drive and drive until there vehicle just stops 🙄 I change my oil every 5/6 miles and that way I can see how evening thing is looking on the engine etc or big Al will get it lol 😆 Happy Easter 🐣

[@-DC-]

I went to Fareham one night with a supposed Max Weight Trailer to find an extra 5 Ton of Batteries onboard 🤣, Thought the DAF was struggling at 49 Ton 👍

[@jonnypritchard6609]

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

Cheers fella 👍

[@gullett125]

Wow! Which part of Guildford as that's where I live?

[@simonjones7785]

Ive repaired worse sills than that a good sheet metal folder and a joddler would sort that sill

[@Mr80sliveon]

Thats engine abuse. The driver must of had serious nausea driving that for so long for that much carbon build up plus 2 more blowing like a hurricane...

[@smx250]

so you can actually collect vans ? i want my engine rebuilt after my conversion is done with you, would you collect from portsmouth ?

[@johnnycash4350]

Any LT 6 Cyl videos coming up?

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

Only had on i over the last few years, don’t see many of them 👍

[@matthewjohnston5145]

Hi Al do you have any tips on removing my grand cherokee 2.7 mercedes engine glow plugs, I think the tip on cylinder 1 has swollen and won't come through the hole

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

They are a bit renowned of snapping off right at the top, there is a drill kit to remove them if this happens. I’ve never had one that’s swelled up at the end. I’m assuming it just wont unscrew ?

[@matthewjohnston5145]

@6D Diesels Mercedes and Volkswagen van specialist yeah I can unscrew it but it won't pull out the head

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

I expect you’ll find fella you’ve only got the top half of it , my got be worth seeing if it’ll pop the rest out if you run it. Otherwise you’ll have to snap the electrode and the extract the rest of it

[@matthewjohnston5145]

@@6DDIESELSDorset great, I'm looking forward to that job thanks Al

[@diabrettic]

probably an ex Amazon van

[@RSCOZZY]

Nah, they're worse 🤣 And the Amazon vans are far, far newer...

[@leightondavies6867]

When you pulled that chunk of rust of the back N-S arch and it flew towards the camera it actually made me flinch like a jump scare

[@kevinhillier2085]

What’s your eBay Id?

Love a bit of bank holiday Diesel Al 👍🚐
