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

[@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.

[@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.

[@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

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.

[@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.

[@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.

[@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...

[@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.

[@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

[@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 .

[@andyspencer1010]

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

[@andyjacklin9950]

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

[@stewartwalker7740]

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

[@anthonybrowne4022]

Great job done on the little MG, what a lovely birthday present for Claire’s Mum she will love it Rob 🫶🏻

[@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 👍

[@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

[@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 , 👍👍

[@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.😎

[@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 😊

[@johnmills7888]

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

[@martinstevenson7462]

Good job as always Rob & Chris and no need to justify yourself hope you’re mother in law enjoys the MG keep up the great work you both do .

[@stevencowles8419]

Nice one, that will be a great runaround and not too much of a disaster if it pick up a few door dings in the supermarket car park

[@georgedaville4662]

Lot of people slagging off these motors, but for someone on a tight budget it is the ideal solution, they were not dear new! Great content and another vehicle rescued from the crusher and going to a good home👍😎 23:04

[@cclow9494]

Always a joy to watch these repairs and where any steps are not filmed a detailed explanation is always provided.👍

[@sofa-lofa4241]

Giving the car to Claire's mum is a great gesture, no-one here is going to get peeved at that, Love the new parts getter, I saw the original video of the bike... Nice👌...I look forward to seeing you coming back with a bumper strapped across the tank 🤣

[@kevinnye5132]

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

[@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.

[@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

[@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 👍👍👍

[@johnpritchard2772]

hello Rob & Chris, I so enjoy watching your videos! What a great little car which has been sorted out in a proper way! A grand car for your relative, a special birthday gift!! WELL DONE !! best wishes from Lincolnshire

[@timbird5494]

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

[@arthurblundell6128]

great stuff -- really interesting "straightforward" job to quote Chris

[@bingbong7316]

Happy Birthday Clair's mum and enjoy your prezzy!

[@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

[@jeffshaw4553]

Brilliant guys well done can’t believe the mess from the leaking of the heater matrix but well done for finding the issue your family gonna love this little run around 👍🏽👍🏽bless ya this is what I love about you guys always thinking of others 👍🏽👍🏽what a lovley thing to do

[@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 .

[@kevinramsey1040]

Hi Rob, really like in the VoiceOver on the time lapses thank you 15:16 15:43 15:58

[@tomtodhunter1776]

Great video, and a fantastic outcome. I hope Claire's Mum enjoys her new car, and has a very happy birthday.I changed a dashboard in an Astra mk 2, and they are pretty similar attachment wise, but I imagine that the MG dash is much sturdier than the cardboard type material the Astra's was made of. 🤣

[@markswift1477]

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

[@dietersmythe9649]

Love the differences in terminology, “ramp” vs. “hoist” Keep up the great work chaps!

[@stehaughton5074]

Top job guys, Chris at his best yet again, Happy Birthday Clairs Mum 👍👍

[@johnelbro127]

Great little cheap car. I have so many memories of the old MG’s being 78. Always loved them. Great video guys. 👍👍👍👍

[@TheDaf95xf]

Great video Rob. Woohoo 🙌 Chris on a dash removal lol 😆 So you should give any car to whoever you like Rob. You’ve both done so much to help others and family is no different 👏🏻

[@stevenjones19-m8i]

Hello Rob and Chris,top work,now the heater matrix is done and service it is a tidy looking car,alot of work needed but it is now done.

[@raymondpearce5245]

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

[@Jay-B1750]

That's such a lovely thing to do. Couple of quid each and she's got a nice little run about. Charity begins at home, just goes to show with the bumper you need to think things through before going at it like a bull in a China shop! Still a good little series 👌👍

[@islandhopperstuart]

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

[@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 👌👍😉

[@nickdavis8467]

Good on ya Rob & Chris, smashing little runaround as Mike Read would have said, all the very best to you both from Nick in Wolsingham.

[@Simon-qn5wm]

Well. Done on the quick turnaround. Only ever done 1 heater matrix on a 2000 Audi A4. It took me 3 days

[@Jmcg1959]

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

[@aprilchambers-baird2117]

Amazing skill and confidence doing that one....What a great birthday present! 👍

[@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.

[@johnpells5992]

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

[@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..

[@ianbradley9838]

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

[@danielbrown4133]

A kind gesture for family Rob. Good on you 👍.

[@72neillyboy]

Nice one guys 👏👏 always good to help someone out when you can 👌👍

[@wirdy1]

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

[@AndrewKNI]

A brilliant video. I keep seeing similar MG3s on the road in Belfast. Seem very popular and great value. 🙂

[@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.

[@ShedTV]

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

[@knoxyish]

a nice little hatchback ! good work by chris getting the dash off and on!!

[@g.d2450]

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

[@KarlKKC]

a cracking idea rob and a lovely gesture, well done on the video too another awesome one from you and chris 👌

[@downtheshedwithjason]

this car is what i call an '' '' ebay special '' '', perfect for guys like you to buy cheap and put the effort and reap the reward, but to stripping a car to that extent, bollox to that. well done guys. not seen end of vid yet but hopefully a decent profit in that one

[@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.

[@jbillingham68]

another cracking video guys and what a lovely gesture to give it to the mother in law just goes to show how much you help your family out can't wait to see what's next on the channel keep them coming guys 👍👍👍💯💯💯

[@thefamilyrobbo]

Ideal as a little runabout. Perfect timing as a birthday present. Great job as ever 😃👍

[@TheMondeozetec]

Good too see proper handbrake, beware if u do a HS model make sure u apply electric handbrake as they don't auto engage when turning off the ignition, like other manufacturers do

[@jimschafer9196]

Great repair good reveal, brought back memories of my '85 mustang R&R the heater core.

[@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

[@paulbate7872]

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

Good evening Rob and Chris, great little car, nice video and Claire’s mum gets a nice car. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.

Always put family first, putting a smile on Mother in laws face priceless ❤ nice one lads 👏👏

[@MalteseMafia]

Great Video 👍 nice little motor 👍 build quality looked ok

[@mcplindgren]

Another car saved from the clutches of the scrapper. Didn't look like a bad job to be fair and great to see it go to a good home 🙂 have a great weekend 👍🏻

[@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.

[@nickhelm2420]

I'd never actually seen one of these before the first video, we went shopping and promptly saw two of them both red !!🤓🤓

[@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.

[@terryramsey1470]

Great video 📹 and workmanship as normal fellas 👌 👍 😊 turned out a good little cheap motor to do and get a nice drink 🍸 out of it 😊 .Good luck to claires mam I hope she likes her birthday present. As usual fellas you are genuine and honest to the core 😊 ,stay lucky and healthy 👍 looking forward to Wednesday's video 📹 as usual 👏.

[@sruk]

It has electric everything climate pdc leather Bluetooth etc it’s hardly basic lol

[@adamtrewella]

Yeah true my mk3 never had Bluetooth it did have a bass tube and Peugeot 205 1.9 gti alloys though and my pdc was great when you nudged an object you knew you were too close lol 😆

[@frankjames7247]

You two deserve a medal for fixing that, love how you went on the bike for the part. Give the car to the mother in law, score some points with the wife.
