You guys do better videos than any of the current crop on TV with their huge budgets & productions teams. Thanks for taking the time to record & share.

[@scrapyardwarriorvlogging]

I really like these abandoned new-ish vehicles being brought back to life, like the Focus that you guys did a while back. Have a great weekend 👍

[@MLB975]

I agree! Makes really intriguing content.

[@alextripp1230]

Hi Rob and Chris, what a touch, nice to see it getting sorted properly. Unbelievable it was just left for so long eh. Washing it turned it from looking 150K miles, back to just 5K miles, very satisfying this one, and will be a brilliant purchase for someone. Cheers, Alex .

[@garysimpson3900]

Rob I just knew you couldn't resist getting the jet wash out & giving it a clean up😁

[@christopherclarke5978]

You guys deserve them deals as you both work hard enough to have a little luck every now and then, this one will turn out just like all your other projects, spot on. Somebody will be getting a cracking Van when it's done.

[@BigButtocks967]

This is the reason everyone’s car insurance is so high, because insurance companies write off vehicles like this where the value of the vehicle clearly makes it worth repairing but it’s easier to just write it of. Good find and a great video. Cheers.

[@tonightwefly]

Because they have to have them professionally prepared and lots of government red tape, garage reoairs for this would be thousands with the 'body work' too. The whole systems a farce.

[@blairoutproject]

You beat me to it.

[@iainmacleod4007]

You have struck gold there. Cannot understand why the previous owners failed to repair a five week old vehicle. The mind boggles.

[@adzhx]

How brilliant are your subscribers Rob & Chris reaching out to you with gems like this, I thought the insurance would have fixed this up though 💁

[@rogerblackwood8815]

You can only assume its an unintended third party only job? Someone get asked to deliver it, says yea I'm insured to drive anything, but forget it's only third party? Because you're right, the insurance would have had that done and dusted?

[@jonpowell8014]

Landed on your feet with that one chaps, bloody van prices are mental!!!

[@jbillingham68]

cant believe that van was just parked up and not fixed but then again they have done you both a favor as we all know you guys will have that back to a nice looking van as you guys don't hang about can't wait to see the end result keep them coming guys 💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍

[@djb7897]

That would be a cracking base van to convert into a camper.

[@cornovii3012]

I've had a set of spring clamps slide round on me under full compression, managed to throw it into my brick shed just before they give in, took a massive chunk out of my shed wall with one hell of a bang. Never take chances with springs people, these will kill you no problems.

[@lukecowell7516]

I've never had an issue but you are right not using clamps properly or not at all is a potential death sentence.

[@neilburns8869]

Out of the 3 French automobile manufacturers, PEUGEOT definitely are the most classy when it comes to making their vehicles. I know that Clarkson, Hammond and May were often poking fun at Peugeot but when they did the episode dedicated to the History of Peugeot what Clarkson did say was that when Peugeot decided to put their minds on doing something they tended to do it VERY, VERY WELL. I honestly believe that you have got a real bargain with the Peugeot Boxer 2 litres turbo diesel 18-reg. I look forward to seeing you continue with it. Get the new driver's side door, new front wing and all the other little bits and pieces seen to.

[@kerbsiderecycling2694]

Guys nice van always good to see chris getting more involved on the intro and alot more talking

[@simonwoodward438]

Great score that !!!! I ran one of the last first generation (06) from new for 275k it was super reliable and cheap to run, great vans

[@dansmith6909]

nice little chuckle at that wheelarch liner entry on the list

[@timday6087]

This is definitely my favourite youtube channel. Love the content and the positivity. I thought Chris had signed a sponsorship deal with Costa Coffee the way he was holding that cup for the first minute :)

[@russ8949]

Great vid guys, I’m on my second company Boxer and they are great. First was a 15 plate and I’ve now got a 68 from new. I’m just about to touch 100k on the 68 plate and it still runs a dream. Gets serviced regularly and I’ve just changed the starter myself. Also you will be surprised what you can fit in the back of these things.

[@acorndogs904]

What a van great content Hopefully you have all the parts Thanks for this weeks content Have a good weekend fellas

[@markp98]

You guys give me inspiration to get my MK4 escort van back on the road, but when I get a day off my misses always want some 💩 done around the house. Love your videos guys , keep up the good work. 👍

[@Andy-qo6rq]

Camper van in the making. The back is mint would make a great conversion to a camper just in time for the summer 👍👍👍 boys weekend away beautiful van 👍

[@danapier702]

Another great video boys! Finding I spend most of my free time on KZbin these days. Who needs a TV licence

[@1978JonBullock]

Rob , Chris, You literally have scored a new van that is only just needing a MOT. Absolutely blinding deal especially when there is a current shortage on any new/nearly new Vans about at all . Seeing it after that wash show's what a cracking van it is going to be once you and Chris have worked your magic. Good luck on sourcing all the bits you need.

[@chriss9310]

Fell on your feet with this one guys. I'm stunned that it was written off with such little damage. Someone is going to get a new van for a remarkably good price. Looking forward to seeing you replace the bodywork around the door/wheel arch.

[@richthegill]

I need to see how Chris is getting on with the Viva. That's what I'm here for!!

[@charlieboyok]

Yeah , like your first love.... had for a year or so , then had a barny with cf bedford van & Lost that argument with both ( the other being court) life was so unfair when you are young😭

[@userwl2850]

Making your KZbin channel was a brilliant move. You get to buy and sell with your videos from your subscribers. 👏🏻👏🏻👍

[@julias-shed]

Love how you give a shout-out to all the local businesses you use 😀

[@grahambell6719]

guys the square holes in the front wheel arches are meant to be there,some vans have plastic trims around the arches but that model does not have them but the body shells all have square holes

[@pauljohnson4871]

All the videos they do are totally brilliant to watch and what can be achieved rob & Chris have a great weekend keep up the great work

[@25Wineman]

Three very different and interesting videos this week. Have a great weekend. Thanks Rob & Chris.

[@robindthornton]

What a result ! That's a belter of a van/. Nice to see Chris in the intro~ best Motor Trade double act going. Like youm Rob I wonder why they didnt mend, mind you their loss is your gain. More great content . Looking forward to seeing you mend it, Thanks for the entertainment.

[@autochampwandelen]

As someone who loves Peugeot Boxers (for being a unique alternative to the generic Sprinters), you guys are angels!

[@thelivingdodo2]

At 9.20 when you were wondering about a trim missing, it's not. I work for a van hire company too and the XLWB have plastic wheelarch extensions and these are just the holes that would house the clips. The XLWB use the same pressing as the LWB which doesn't have them. Hope this helps if someone has not already mentioned it.

[@David-xc4us]

And my weekend begins….thanks guys this is always my chill out watch at the end of a hard weeks work 🍻

[@md-detailing]

Rob always find great Vans and deals! For a 4 year old Peugeot Van its really low mileage,similar to that age have atleast 50-100k miles. i wish you the best of luck on the rebuild Rob and i cant wait for a new video on the Boxer :D

[@matthewvenet1082]

G101 is going to get a workout with all that green

[@MediocreHero66]

Well what a beauty, the van that is, ha! What a find, low miler and a small repair in comparison to previous projects. Looking forward to the number on this one for sure.

[@alessandroceretta2603]

Love this serie and this veichle, very interesting to see it repaired and finally back to work. Those vans are produced here in Italy by Sevel.

[@chrishart8086]

Love the videos, love the content, you guys give me loads of tips to keep my cars maintained. Well done and keep up the good work

[@johngaskell68]

Great video as always lads,what an amazing find and only 5k miles ! That would make a brilliant camper conversion if you went that far with it? Then it would make some serious money ..! Looking forward to the next one already , keep it up 😃👍🏻🙏🏻

[@stevedane787]

Well, I reckon you've given us 3 videos for the price of one there Rob! 1. First look, 2. Will it run? 3 First wash. All we need now is fitting the bits and crunching the numbers. What's the betting you keep this and sell the Berlingo? Thanks for another cracking video.

[@01matthewc]

What an absolute waste, only 5k miles on a large 2018 van and nobody has bothered to even attempt to fix it up or sell it on until now?? Hopefully you 2 will put this right as this would be an ideal cheap, modern and low mileage set of wheels for a builder, tradesman or courier. This van really will be top notch when finished.

[@darrenmartin4014]

I've been running my 8 year old Peugeot Partner (100% reliable) for 5 years and I could still draw back the same money (£5k) I paid for it. Van prices are nuts at the minute.

[@chrisclegg7156]

Looking forward to seeing you and Chris doing you’re magic getting this van back on the road 👍

[@matthewgibbons4525]

Won't the diesel fuel have decayed after sitting for that long? Risks the fuel filter and injectors I'd have thought

[@johndawson221]

On a separate topic there’s a late 4.2LSE RangeRover on auto trader for £27.5k !!! Take your time chaps, another few months and you’ll be north of £30k. Great work, keep up the great content 👍

[@Kevmac332]

Rob... Chris fantastic 👏... you gents work hard and are very fair with onwards value..... really happy for you both and wish you well...

[@ged3680]

Hello Rob and Chris, Excellent van and will get snapped up. It like brand new. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

[@anthonyg4671]

When I was young I wanted to be Batman, now I want to be Rob and Chris :-)

[@paultaylor9652]

Lovely Jubbly, try and find another one, think you got a great deal there guys.

[@christopherheritage5651]

You made me spit my coffee out! Chris and his S**t Shield!!! Love it guys thanks. I work in quite a stressful environment and you boys always make me feel relaxed after a hard week. Thank you and keep them coming guys.

[@BritishBoy1971]

Wouldn't that van be an ideal one for Chris to convert into his very own Camper Van, as he was after having one? You could share it throughout the year.

[@BritishBoy1971]

I don't think you'll ever get another like that with such a clean interior, especially in the back!

[@shauncole9509]

Great work lads think it's time for a recap on all your projects guys !

[@paulwalker427]

No matter the price its a steal just looking at it, top work as ever

[@richarddoogan963]

22 mins before Rob gets the sponge on it, I'm impressed by your restraint mate, you must have been sweating !

[@1972dsrai]

I would love to see you guys convert this into a camper van. They're getting very popular right now.

[@rbcleaningskegness9191]

From my neck of the woods. A right touch Rob and Chris especially the price of vans at the moment. Have a great weekend guys 👍. From Richard

[@WoodyBoy1992]

Still waiting for the Bentley video!!!!

[@koreainsincere]

Ahhhhh, after a hard week of work we have a new video from you guys. All is right with the world again.

[@notmanynamesleft]

I don't understand how something so new is just left when it has a big resale value once fixed.

[@G58]

Maybe the previous owner claimed on the cost of the damage but didn’t carry out the work. Then after three years it was written off on the books, so any money was profit.

[@G58]

[@arthurblundell6128]

clearly not a write off by any means and as you say so clean and brand spanking -- smart purchase lads !!

[@SuperLittleTyke]

I washed my 7-year-old white Suzuki Alto just before its MOT and a clean car just seems to drive better. Here in Lincolnshire in the winter the rural roads are constantly muddy from the numerous tractors. Your van find video was very interesting. I started my apprenticeship as a motor mechanic in 1961 in Cranbrook and later at Linton just outside Maidstone, so I have worked on countless vehicles during my working life, which included working for Ford in Germany for 10 years. Are you planning on further videos of this van as the work progresses? Great video! How it takes me back 60 years.

[@kevoc3268]

I don't know how the subscriber pulled this one off for ye but huge credit to them.I bet many people wanted this van.Worthwhile repairs,nice price,nice van,big profit.

[@Mountain_Bike_Archaeology]

Only 8 mins in and I'm already like, get it washed, get it washed, get it washed!

[@barrytillman2818]

Love the videos great to see two guys working so well together 👍

[@HonkyHorton]

Something really satisfying about a scruffy vehicle getting washed and the shine come through. Bet instagram is going nuts with messages already, asking the price of this van. Cheers lads another great Friday night video 👍👍

[@remenisionz]

Another awesome video lads! Can’t believe it’s only done 5k miles! Shame the company who owned it never repaired it. But atleast you can give it some TLC now. Someone gets a nice practically new van, you get a tidy profit, everyone’s a winner! Keep it up guys!

[@alanelder3259]

I wonder why they didn't fix it as well Rob ! Super video , looking forward to see it back to pristine. Hope it's a big earner for you guys !

[@tycorcoran6965]

Everything is too far away for Lincolnshire, from somone living in a village in Lincolnshire!

[@willjones4379]

I looked at one of these this week. 18 plate 45k £18000 +vat the garage wanted. Lovely vans

[@anthonyburn8838]

Looking forward to seeing this one to completion. Good van. I love the way you talk about Lincolnshire as if it's the end of the world 🤣

[@thefamilyrobbo]

😂 I was going to make the same comment. A true South Eastern boy. In Rob's world, Lincolnshire could be somewhere between Mars and Jupiter. 😀. Brilliant with cars, crap at geography. We love you for it. 👍😀

[@leedstown]

Rob and Chris I can't understand it was written off at 5 weeks old why it wasn't sent to Copart by the insurance company or repaired by the owner, did the owner take a pay out and asked to keep the van?

[@KingstonHomeMaintenance]

Hey guys isn't the jump start point under the bonnet not from the battery, think you can fry the circuits. Its on right hand side under bonnet and a yellow label for earth point, worth a check.

[@Ian-ic9lv]

The green tree sap is like the old factory transit wax they put on new cars. It seems to protect the paintwork.

[@cwwiss1]

Oh yes lads what a score. I bought a 6 year salvage 308cc with only 5.5k on it for £3300 plus auction fees so know exactly what you must be feeling right now. I've driven it for 2 or 3 years now and still haven't stopped smiling ;)

[@paulhayes1683]

Very nice van once finished even the jet wash made big difference 👍 😀 Another Chirs and Rob masterclass in the making 👏

[@mcplindgren]

Wow. Great to see this is being brought back to life. Unbelievable that it's been abandoned all this time but at least you'll see a nice payday from this 🙂👍🏻

[@catxls1835]

Go Lads!! Chris is the man. I've not seen him beat or stuck by anything yet!! Thumbs up for a great team!!

[@joesture9991]

Local van dealer (edinburgh based) are selling boxers (I think your one is a L2 H2?) with

[@TheVanderfulLife]

Its soooo annoying as I was saving up for one and just as I was nearing my target they've jumped quicker than I can save, what was previously selling for 9k+vat now it's 15k+vat as you say!

[@S.ASmith]

The camper conversion market is part of what is making these vans hard to come by! People be needing them for work or fleets and they end up as campers instead.

[@dermotmurphy7109]

Gonna be cracking big workhorse for someone, still like a new van, nice one lads good luck 👍👍

[@gonecywers]

What a gem, Rob & Chris. That will definitely be a win for you, and for the one who buys it. Great video and looking forward to when you actually repair the rest of it.

[@levisgates4349]

Love your work guys all the way from Nairobi Kenya

[@ryanhiggs3370]

Used to drive a 68 plate boxer at my old job on long journeys they aren’t comfy but still smart looking vans

[@timpearson5086]

Really looking forward to this series. I own its sister, another 2018 Boxer Length 3 Height 2 model in white which I bought new and converted to a camper. It'll be interesting to learn about repairing it via SRUK, probably better than the disappointing workshop manual I bought, which no longer gives much model-specific advice in the way printed ones used to. Check that the replacement front wheel and bumper corner are not for the Length 4 model, which has bigger wheels and extra plastic wheel arch protectors. The wheel arches all contain holes to attach the plastic panels, but only Length 4 models use them.

[@tracktime1196]

WOW Rob what an amazing purchase it's mint!!! Super lucky to get offered it they normally end up at auction. Chris list "Sh** shield" had me in stitches

[@herme99]

You guys need to sell a T shirt 'very very repairable' 😉

[@tonymerrett]

seconded -good call!

[@deanishere7237]

Soon as I saw that fuel gauge fly up I thought "will Chris say anything" ? Very satisfying watching you jetwash it Rob with the clouds rolling over :) Good vid lads !!!

[@johnpells5992]

Excellent , what a lovely van , easy repair can’t wait to see the numbers 👍👍👍

[@ewanstewart8011]

Great find, I really can’t understand why that van wasn’t repaired, even now when the price of good low mileage ones is through the roof. Good for you guys and your channel 👍🏻🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

Another fantastic video guys. I love the subscribers want you to have their vehicles as they know they will be done right.

That is indeed very clean in the back not to mention externally. An acquaintance of mine has the Citroen version which he calls his expensive shed in that he stores in the back whilst seldom driving it. Thank you.

Or is it Costa sponsoring Chris? ☕️. 🤣

Was Chris sponsoring Costa Coffee at the start of the video? The way he was holding his coffee looked like it... 🤣😂 Excellent video as always and what a result on the van, I can't believe someone just gave up on it after a prang...

Rob, in the app you use (to record checking out a Car Vertical check) can you disable the zooming in/out. Cause that doesn't help in showing the details. Just scroll. Thumbs up!
