[@davidminns9799]

Chris is getting so INVOLVED love it😊 you two really are an awesome double act👍 it's my 60th birthday today and no better way to spend it than watching you guys do what I wish I could. Keep those videos coming 👍

[@sruk]

Happy birthday David I hope you have a lovely day all the best Rob & Chris. I’ll pin this so all can share the love 👍

[@damianfuller74]

Happy birthday young man! Cheers everyone and enjoy what's left of this break.

[@davidtrice8307]

Happy 60th birthday David happy Easter

[@markwoods3071]

Happy Birthday 🥳🥳

[@simoncarney9944]

Happy Birthday David! Hope it’s a good one. 👍🏼

[@stevenmoran4060]

A second video just to show the finishing touches would be good.

[@goyadressunofficial]

I don't see a problem with Fiat 500 videos as long as the problems to be tacked vary each time.

[@sammytheseal2307]

"it's done 135k miles, or 67k twice" Made me laugh lol, a good way of thinking of it 😂

[@martinnightingale6033]

Nice job . We did a clutch and gearbox change on a mk2,Escort rallycar . In 20 minutes on a 30 minute service . In pouring rain . All great fun . That was back in the 80s . No wonder my back hurts and my arms are falling off .

[@UberAlphaSirus]

You beat me then, 4 hrs, pissing cold rain on my own with 1 trolley jack. That was in the 90s mk 4.

[@acorndogs904]

I've a feeling Chris is getting into this content making Always wants the best angles The mans a legend though for giving us " mechanical fiat 500 " bank holiday content

[@Pauljn67]

You two are like a more realistic wheeler dealers duo. Normal down to earth guys making an honest living. Excellent!

[@Charlie_Crown]

That's exactly why it's great content, zero bs, plus zero "ooold out yarrr 'andddd" crap

[@beentheredonethat6885]

Another entertaining video. As an oldie, I must say how pleasing and refreshing it is to hear two colleagues who can communicate with crystal clarity and without a single profanity - not even a hint of impatience.

[@ianpickersgill3211]

I wonder if I dare show this video to my wife. I constantly tell her not to ride the clutch when at traffic lights. One day she will listen.

[@d.c.Jones70]

I think it would be good to have a second video to show just how good you can make it look without it going to paint.

[@-DC-]

GM had the clutch change perfect on the early MK2 cavaliers didn't have to drop the box never seen a more practical design in all my years in the trade, fantastic content guy's 👍

[@sruk]

3 clips and 1 pin it was a good idea 👍

[@carguyuk7525]

The hardest working KZbinrs - Saturday working just to keep the rabble happy on Monday. Brilliant content. Cheers.

[@nevillemorley5926]

Nice tip about holding the clutch in. Out of gear. Handbrake; and relax.😄

[@joshnnik]

I just love watching you two, it’s magic. After a 5 year apprenticeship and 45 years in the trade it’s great to see someone else grafting, happy memories. Thank you so much.👍👍

[@dsummers8191]

67 twice! Nearly fell off my chair laughing at that one. Reminded me of a chap who used to refer to cars with a high number of previous owners as being popular! Enjoyed this video and as we are now into it we ought to see the conclusion. Thank you.

[@TheDarrenc1973]

Yeah would be good to see another one on this motor....

[@geion54]

Cracking video lads so nice to see pro's working.

[@TheDaf95xf]

Evening Guys. Another great video with some great information and telling people not to ride the clutch 🙄 Rob you was absolutely correct saying don’t bad the owner of the car as people do get upset!! But good information is 100%. Can’t wait for part two. Thanks for taking the time out for this one as time with your family is important 😃 I’m sat in my lorry in Fakenham so it was a great way of chilling after my trip from Manchester. Take care cheers Stevie 😎

[@markrudd917]

Definitely want to see the clean up. Scratch polish outs are something we can all do on the driveway, so seeing how you approach the problem is useful and interesting. Keep the videos coming boys but don’t flog yourselves!!

[@kevinthomas1259]

Great to see the clutch change and you explaining how it's failed. Thanks for working a sataday to get a video out for easter monday, hoe you guys had a good easter. Looking forward to the next part on this one.

[@barbaraneville5036]

Chris getting well into this Vlog stuff

[@garethmccash5986]

Hi guys....I found your channel while in hospital & loved all the various vehicles you were working on. As an ex mechanic I can identify with everything you do....the joy of a correct diagnosis, the filth & not to mention the cold....keep these coming 😊

[@silvermane9370]

Part 2 - bring it on!

[@trevorjarvis3021]

The overhead filming was brilliant - bit like a spaceship docking with a space station - left a bit, right a bit, up your end - donk! That’s it we’re in!! Cracking turn around that! Expertly done! Excellent content Rob and Chris.👏👏👏👍🤣😌

[@steveegginton535]

Definitely need the facilities and equipment of a garage to change the clutch on a modern car these days. Good result for you guys that a new clutch has it driving again. I think the wide variety of cars and jobs you feature is one of the strengths of your channel - keep em coming !

[@simoncarney9944]

Definitely worth a second video to see how it cleans up! Another great little video to keep us entertained. Thanks Rob and Chris. 👍🏼

[@adrianriley780]

Thanks Rob for giving up part of your Easter to keep us entertained. Nice content 👍

[@portlandsean]

I remember learning to drive the instructor teaching me to always put it in neutral when stopped at a light. 40 yrs on I still do it out of habit. Good to now know why. always stay teachable.

[@Milnoc]

I learned that early on last year when I bought my first car. I'm glad the previous owner took good care of the little Abarth.

[@davidhatton4423]

Hiya guys, I've never seen a release bearing that bad, drivers don't realise this when sat with the clutch in. Another good one guys.

[@chip1pan]

Top brass guys. Another great video. Who hasn't ridden the clutch, we all do it and all will. Not a bad motor for the milage looks clean and tidy. Very nice first car for someone. 👍👍👍

[@Surmanator8989]

Glad the release bearing was toast and not the gearbox itself. Thank you for the bonus video last Sunday too 👌🏻

[@aecguy]

With your workshop and your projects that would be the best holiday for me.

[@owenbell307]

Yes Rob! I love how involved Chris is getting making you put out a video on Easter Monday. He may have been a bit skeptical at first but you can tell he really enjoys this now

[@mrwick7961]

i always make sure i take the car outta gear when ever stationary. and this is why :) great vid guys

[@Charlie_Crown]

Another cracking video Rob and Chris, nice little run around that Fiat 👌

[@jonb8241]

Great work... as per usual. Giving the Gearbox a good clean up sets you apart from the rest, shows you both take pride in what you do and how you give the best you can for the next owner. Follow a few on the old KZbin ... and for a couple the others, it’s just profit over doing the right thing for the next owner. Keep it up guys, you make a good team 😎👍

[@thejackofalltravels8267]

It would be nice to see a video of the wheel repair all its own. I understand that there are some secrets to keep but it’s so important for what you do.

[@sruk]

We already did that video bud 👍

[@grayfool]

That release bearing was sooo mangled! Crazy. Nice job.

[@davidashley4386]

A couple of good guys doing honest work, brilliant !

[@cinccave5459]

The best thing about your videos is that there is nothing fake about them. Because you are so real it shows and even if half of all your videos were about 500s you would still be entertaining. I can't wait for the second video on this 500.

[@In_memory_of_Dad]

Fair play Rob you boys did another real good job mate. I bloody love you guys, this is definitely the best channel on KZbin. 🙂💪👍

[@benevans3733]

Really like your longer videos

[@markdoyle6414]

I'm amazed how clean you guys seem to be able to keep yourselves while doing these projects. As soon as I go near a car I covered head to toe in dirt. Great video.

[@davidrigby1837]

Thanks for the fiat 500 upload 👍 👍

[@martynriley715]

Great stuff it's nice to see fine work .

[@rpwhite05]

You definitely know the drill with anything 500, specialists of the trade 👍 another top vid bet you’ve helped loads of amateur mechanics with the know how

[@vinimaguire8109]

Those little Fiats are becoming real popular down under here in OZ too who would of thought the little 500 would make such a come back just shows ya that original design is a good one. Nothing wrong with riding your clutch at a junction especially when your handbrakes a bit iffy

[@1mic3]

Great video again guys, nice of you to ask people to be respectful of the previous owner, just shows the kind of person you are as well👍👍👍. Looking forward to seeing the finished car, perhaps an engine clean as well?

[@TheBg604]

Great video Rob and Chris. Hopefully you enjoy some time off.

[@finleyplympton]

i think those 500s should be done more on the channel , i love them !!

[@shaunmccauley5129]

Thanks 😊 both another brilliant video

[@ewanstewart8011]

That Chris is good to us making you do a video when you wanted a day off 😆 hope you guys are enjoying your long weekend 👍🏻

[@garycarter2523]

Defo another video on it.

[@xvsupremacy7190]

Yeah defo

[@neilstokescvwshrewsbury7939]

I like the video’s on Fiat 500s Nice to see & hear more from Chris, he will be crunching the numbers at the end next 👍 Enjoy what’s left of the Bank Holiday Both 🐥🐥

[@peugeotdudeandson4485]

Glorious. I'm glad you put a video out today It's the only way I know what day were at lads lol. Brilliant as usual

[@johnyoung267]

Rob - Chris, a head lamp for some of those jobs is a great invention 😉

[@jeffshaw4553]

That was nice quick turn around 😊😊👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽

[@xvsupremacy7190]

I bet the former owner wants to buy it back lol 😂

[@jamesreeve9037]

Wow that was mullered ,I suppose your part of uk is heavy on traffic, causing a lot of stop start, but for 135k it's done well, nice little run around or first time car...Great video as always

[@richardjones5255]

Well done, you achieved your one day fix. It was another good episode. Seeing the conclusion would be a nice touch. When I learned to drive, I was instructed not to ride the clutch. Clutch bearings were often graphite, and abuse wore them away, sometimes through the metalwork. Alternative, ball race versions replaced graphite bearings. Some, lasted for the life of the clutch, (though the ball races could become noisy), a few failed early. I wonder, was that one of the Friday-afternoon-bearings, destined for a short, exciting life? The failure was very messy for the bearing.

[@kevat310]

Great vid!! Love the cheap car turn-arounds! You are getting good at working on the 500's. You should advertise clutch replacements on 500's and charge £500. You could make a nice bit of quick money to put in the till.

[@stuartball9507]

Yeah would like to see 2nd video on you cleaning it up and doing the numbers please.

[@jonathanhammond3748]

Great video guys. Still enjoy the Fiat 500s and as ever your work is so good to watch. 👍👍

[@kevinfisher7142]

Well done once again guys.

[@kimcharlton9536]

I now rob can't resist a fiat 500!!! Good video as always

[@obrut0002]

Roy Castle would be proud - dedication!!, cheers Gentlemen

[@organiccold]

Bring another video on it. They are funny.

[@TheKnobCalledTone.]

Rob: No more Fiat 500s on this channel guys Also Rob: Welcome back to a new video and a Fiat 500 Never change, Rob. 👍

[@stewills9711]

Wow, that is some serious clutch abuse. Not seen a release bearing that bad since the wife had a manual.... #ClutchLivesMatter xD

[@leslietingey3873]

can't wait to see it finished , nice colour grey ,well done

[@classicgamer4451]

Another good videos guys Chris is getting into these videos you two are well legend's would live to another one on the fiat 500 nice one guys

[@StevieTyrrell]

Great content. Defo want to see the finale.

[@dylanh1978]

Excellent video fellas.

[@ronanwood6891]

The bushes on the rear shocks are very common for going if the rattle isn't the exhaust.

[@philipnewton7524]

Would love to see a other video on the 500 fiat its a nice looker goodcars 20 years a fiat where a rot box and gearboxes always crunched thayhave now came a long esy since the 1970 and 80s great video Phil n stoke

[@chrisbullen4340]

I think I speak for the majority of the subscribers when I say we understand Chris ‘ camera shyness.........but I have to say I’m loving his increased presence with the channel great guys keep it up

[@markwilliamson811]

As always great content. I hope you both had a nice Easter and enjoyed the time off. Excited for part 2!

[@markwoods3071]

Thanks for the bank holiday video👍 Would love to see a 2nd video on this little Fiat.

[@tonyblake642]

I watch you guys do stuff I can do myself (filming excluded). Difference is your not swearing, moaning, or ridiculing anyone. You have my respect as well as I am sure that of many others.

[@thefamilyrobbo]

Little Fiat: Nice bread and butter. Definitely up for part 2. When I learned to drive many many years ago, my dad always had a go at me if I held the clutch in. "You'll wear the release bearing" I can hear him now 😊

[@lucythemoggy1970]

yes please rob can we have another vid on the 500 please!

[@KevinLee-ww3ny]

And, yes please, second video 😊

[@owsi2297]

Great video👏 you have to really appreciate the effort that goes into making these videos 👍 top stuff guys

[@maxwynne01]

And I was thinking you weren't going to be doing anymore of these on the channel, its good to see you doing one again.

[@Ogma3bandcamp]

second video please, great stuff

[@brixtonsaint]

Good on ya lads. Hope you got a well earned rest on Easter Sunday.

[@dellboy1419]

Great to see you back on a Fiat 500, can't get tired of these videos.

[@rbcleaningskegness9191]

Definitely a second video on the little 500 Rob and Chris, and thank you for taking time out over the Easter break to get one out for a Monday video. Hope you had a good Easter guys.

[@01matthewc]

Lovely little car for the age/ mileage. Excellent, clear and informative video as per usual.

[@Manley2220]

Definitely a Second video 👏🏻

[@BC-sk9xo]

Great vid lads. Quick to refurb this nice little 500. Happy Easter 🇬🇧

[@foesure]

Spot on,be nice to see the wheels on👍

[@davidjenkins351]

Great video I'm thinking of buying a fiat 500 Abarth in a couple of months thy look like fun cars to drive great video keep up with the good work

[@enzodisciullo2557]

Always love the 500s!

[@ryanj8283]

We do love some g101 haha, I use it all the time it’s magic

[@garycurry4600]

I love watching Fiat 500 videos...or any videos you guys do, for that matter. I’ve learned so much watching your channel. Thank you for sharing.

[@KevinLee-ww3ny]

I do love you two working together, you read each other so well. Cheers for the constant supply of interesting stuff 👍

[@Tarten21]

Great video again ive told many people about sitting in traffic with the clutch down it seems they are taught this way now. Sadly many people do not get involved in or understand the mechanicals of a vehicle nowadays and the car has become a daily tool for travel rather than a cared for machine you want to make last.

[@mrpaul5726]

Thanks for showing us how its done.

[@thomas316]

Interesting bearing failure mode. Will be interested to see how sorting out that scratch goes. 🙂

[@chrisyoung5573]

That's a bad habit of mine too. Looking at that i must try to change that. I had no idea that's what it can do. Lesson learnt for me today
