I know many people don’t need downstairs bedroom or any further renovations for disability or when they get older . London lacks this due to space but many people forget about practical uses within the house. So when I look at prices for the house it doesn’t make sense for the value of the property and future renovations . London homes mostly have extension into the back and loft room but you can’t add no more . It’s good seeing different areas and how the houses are used and built up . If you have the money it’s clear the adaptations they can make in their homes but I’m curious on how long they live there as some only live for 12 years or so and move on . Quite interesting as farmers own waterways and land also some people use solar or other sources of energy instead of using government resources. That is also very interesting.

[@troyrichards6978]

I have to commend you Daniel because before I started watching your videos over a year ago now, I never once had any interest in building or materials and since then you have made me into an addict, so thanks for getting me hooked on something of great interest which won't damage my health 😉👏 Keep up the great works as all of your videos are pure 💯🔥🔥🔥

[@allthegearnoideaoverland]

Got to respect Daniel for the way he dealing with these software crooks. Patience and taking emotion out of it. Not an easy task!

[@BackyardMechCon]

You need to get some sponsorship from an car alarm survailance company!!. There is definitely an opening there for one. You need a system with Proximity sensors and some sort of internal cctv system which uploads footage to your cloud , email etc. of people near/inside your vehicle. As for sealing the back door glass. Get an internal door opening handle fitted inside. That would satisfy the trapping inside issue. Don't tell people what security is fitted at they might target it again 😅.

[@jacobytes8720]

For the lego set, get it and keep it as you said as a reminder how your journey started

[@jvoric]

14:08 vans don’t USUALLY have rear windows…they have a manual door release inside…in the 90 commercial variant there’s a tail door internal manual release located in the left side D pillar! So you could have a cage fitted as long as the manual release is still accessible from inside the cage!

[@bredeyyy7402]

That’s incorrect, you can spec vans with/without windows on the back doors and sides

[@jvoric]

@@bredeyyy7402 the majority of vans don’t have rear windows…they still have manual door release on the inside regardless.

[@petesmitt]

@@jvoric You stated vans don't have rear windows, which is incorrect; just because the majority of van buyers choose not to have windows fitted does not mean vans don't have rear windows.

[@iluvfionaleggate]

Your car is a target, people who don’t mind stealing things see your Ashville wheel cover as a souvenir to put on their wall, also just get a piece of metal made up for the back window, if it’s been done twice it will happen again, it’s a commercial vehicle having a glass rear window is pointless and only causing you issues (something to bear in mind for when you get your new one)(not too sure what Urban are talking about, vans don’t have windows on the back door in case you get locked in the back)

[@punitgovind]

100% agree, common sense to do what you have suggested!

[@darkbug007]

Every car now is the target, they will rob you day/night all the time.

In Scotland at all the HGV VOSA MOT sites ive used, they put the weight on the truck with either ton concrete blocks or a hydraulic press which pushes down on truck.

[@cyberprog]

I remember seeing this when I went with my friend to get his truck tested. Very interesting to watch being done! This was in the south west of england.

[@bubandit06]

Yo, my fiancée got me an "It's Monday" tee, and the quality is top grade. If Ashville start doing tools, I'm going to have to make up projects as an excuse to get the full set😅

[@danielwillow1979]

Instead of having such dark tints why not get 20% tint so people can see in, but get the cage material just over the windows so potential thieves see that they still couldn’t get in if they smash the glass. Inside you could have a clip to remove it, hence allowing a person locked in to get out.

[@unknown14191]

Lexan (Polycarbonate or bullet proof glass) would be better substitute. Care have to be taken to use screen cover to prevent UV exposure from sunlight causing the glass from becoming opaque when parked.

[@Chris-Thistleton]

I think the reason they break in is because they can already see there is something in the car.

[@danielwillow1979]

@@Chris-Thistleton yes, but the point I’m getting at is adding the cage to the windows only.

[@danielwillow1979]

@@unknown14191 do you know how expensive bullet proof glass is. He may as well just keep replacing and he’d still have money in his pocket after a year

[@MajorMac621]

Did you lot not listen. The main reason he can’t is because of safety. Incase someone got locked in. Bullet proof glass is like putting a steel panel. Also you can still have clear glass and they’ll still break in. Probably more so. They ain’t after his jacket or jumpers. They want his bag in the hope of camera gear. You lot are dumb man

[@Deerky23]

Benji is some man, mad to think how you managed without having someone direct in the yard

[@mattyj624]

Hi Daniel, I too have to do loaded brake tests on the volvo I drive. So what we do is to have volvo do the 6 weekly unloaded, then as long as you get a loaded brake test within the same week of that 6 weekly it's valid, so I just do a drive by on the way past to a delivery. Get a nextbase in car dash came that records front & back when parked up.

[@Palo-jm7xc]

You'd think Volvo or whoever testihn would just have some concrete weights like the lego blocks that they can lift into the tipper bodies to do the test. Then just remove the blocks once done and be on your way. I don't know anything about lorries so unsure of the technicalities of the test but in my eyes this seems like a decent way without having to have a pile of aggregate on hand. The companies doing the inspections could even use it as a selling point as why to use them.

[@Rebasepoiss]

All vehicles sold in the US must have a manual boot release inside the boot for such occasions. Maybe it's possible to fit a manual release in the Defender as well. This way you could install the cage and still get out if necessary.

[@davidhopkins9021]

It has one

[@GrahamWP58]

Belated our birthday greetings. Great content as always, you can fit a protective film on the inside of the rear window which prevents the glass from shattering all over. We had it on cab windows for safety. See you in the next episode.

[@i.saac_kalungi]

You should change you number plate. Everyone knows it as do the vandals.. blank the new plate out going forward on your future videos!! Just a suggestion and get rid of the body kit which makes it stand out.

[@tunezisalwayscrying5221]

Not many work as hard as you do, Daniel. I love your channel and have been here from the off. Sadly, having to use my backup account now. Keep up the fantastic work my friend and don't let the b*stards grind you down mate.

[@rmil4531]

I admire your attitude Daniel, it’s so frustrating.

[@fiestaturbo]

A metal grate over your window is 100% allowed, in every car/van there is a built in mechanism usually behind a little pop off cover that anyone locked inside can get off and open the boot/ back doors

[@dickie8184]

I'm currently converting a cow shed in France into a home/gite business, I find your channel helpful and motivating. Been watching for a couple of years. 👍

[@muzza6047]

The attention to detail on the build is second to none. If I was loaded and getting a house Ashville would be doing it.

[@girthiusmaximius8486]

11:30, Brother I live in detroit what I would reccomend is to find an old ford truck (1970-80's) with 80k+ miles on it and get it repaired, Make sure it has a bit of rust on it and no hub caps on the tires. It will be more reliable than anything you've ever drove. You seem like the type of guy who would drive a work truck anyway :) Ps. This works.

[@justincollingwood]

I run a hgv repair garage and ref the hgv brake tests we get them done 1st thing in the morning then the lorry carries on to do its load then return later for its inspection

[@stuartwindow6080]

Or just use a Bowmonk Brakecheck decelerometer as they are approved for testing .

[@andreitrif8068]

Hello, My advice... Just buy a brake test unit and start doing them in house. You can do the 6 week inspection at the dealership and can do the loaded brake test pre or post inspection when you catch it loaded. You will save tons of money and time .

[@examinerian]

A custom Monopoly Ashville Edition: now that's something to go for. "Serious" instead of Chance, (leave nothing to chance, right?), every station you land on has to be to the shout of "Are you not Into Trains?!", not sure if O'Donovan's should be Mayfair or Jail, but Southern's and Fox's definitely need to be on the dark blue and dark green. Players' pieces include a size 13 steel cap boot, a tipper, a volumetric, Terry's Amarok, stuff like that, if they'll do it! Instead of houses and hotels, have the "Not-LEGO" blocks and shipping containers. 😁

[@jimrichards3916]

Foxy has had a couple of exhaust pipes rust out on 18 month old Volvo's as well Daniel. Very expensive to fix if you buy the pipes from Volvo. Baz and Cal fixed them themselves!

[@djpmz]

[@catalinamariutei883]

I am sorry for you Daniel for having the car broken into. It happened to me in Cardiff as well and is such a nightmare to deal with changing the glass and insurance. I recommend a sticker saying: somebody tried twice before, no values left in the car.

[@gregchapman5556]

Get some concrete blocks made up with lifting eyes. When the tippers and grab lorries go in for PMI send Ben with them. They get repaired when it’s time for the brake test Ben cranes in the weights. When done they get removed. The lorry can then go straight out to do a muck away or go to the yard to load.

[@JohnSmith-ie1tu]

Nice to see you helping to build a better Slough. God knows we need all the help we can get.

[@kapiwie3015]

Daniel two things. Back door you can order a version with no glass solid door only. Second with weights I have two DAF tippers and all we do is send them empty. if they require a loaded break test we send our hiab over which loads some concrete blocks onto them. Other option is take the truck and once its loaded for a job on one day send it to scania in morning for brake test and then straight to job

[@heavykoe]

Make sure someone didn't put an air tag on your car . If they did, they would know your location and keep harassing you. Unfortunately, that's the world we live in at the moment.

[@fqcraigus]

Check the conditions on your o-licence from vosa as the way they word it to do with pmi’s it sounds like you MUST have a loaded rolling brake test how ever they work it that they would LIKE to see a rolling brake test how ever using a tapley meter which you can buy and use yourself and it supplies a print out is sufficient for a 6 week inspection and will also highlight any issues you may have. The compulsory one is carried out during the vehicles annual mot. We have many customers that we complete a tapley brake test for and when audited there is never an issue reguarding brake tests and they have even questioned the auditor and have been informed that unless their roadside checks are questionable or mot history is bad that vosa will not require a laden brake test. Hope this helps

[@kennethbowen494]

This guy talks sense, get yourself a Bowmonk BrakeCheck you can do 6 weekly tests and print the results which is accepted.

[@stuartwindow6080]

As said, a Bowmonk BrakeCheck handheld decelerometer will do a test and is in the guide to road worthiness as a accepted brake test alternative to the rolling road.

[@dennisphoenix1]

Dan you should use IBC containers for load testing , that's what we use for adding load onto flatbed wagons . They are filled with water to add 1 tonne per IBC . They can be filled and emptied easily as it's only water .

[@kristian4279]

Hey Daniel, Invest in some Clear window tinting.. So when they attempt to smash your windows they will still be held together via the Tinting In most cases.. as it will act like a laminate. From a Tinter!

[@amogrows]

or get a less showy car, like a 2011 Vauxhall Corsa bag-of-shytte for £100 with a regular number plate on it so he can enter and leave the city undercover

[@GenaF]

Absolutely loving Terry's new theme tune when driving the Mini Digger, I was curled up in a ball whilst laughing 😂😂😂

[@evilmorganfreeman2726]

In regards to lorry weight testing, have you considered large water bladders to simulate load, that could be filled at and by garage. The water bladders though similar would have different material properties, due to slosh. However due to water being sub optimal conditions, if the truck braked to standard with water, it would brake excellently with aggregate. Just my opinion as an engineering student

[@Paulscnccreations]

Here in south wales whichever company does the brake checks (DAYS FOR INSTANCE) give you the option to use their weighted water tanks. They load it on and off. There is a small charge but probably costs less than having to do it your way.

[@leojilka]

Love watching your stuff !!! what about wrapping your rear window in a thick clear plastic ?

[@dstat79]

Well done for laughing it off bro , respect! 👊🏻 Keep up the good work, love the videos 🙌🏻

[@rarp8681]

Don’t know if it is possible but we have telematics installed on our trailers that give live and constant updates on brakes. This covers the loaded brake tests with the exception of an annual MOT

[@essex1416]

Get a rolling break test machine in your yard around the back, can do you own ones rather than messing around with what you have to do? And anyway it’s 4 times a year it don’t need a brake test every PMI

[@jaredwoodward919]

Add a film to the window wich allows the glass to be pushed out but prevents the glass from being pushed in from the outside. It will not stop the glass from being broken but will stop the glass from creating a mess on the street or inside the vehicle. Cleaning up the broken glass is wasted time and money.

[@Peekay0012]

First of all 🎉Happy Birthday and hope you had a great one🎉 Love it, wish you all the success Haters are not going to change, they have nothing better to do Perhaps think of some slim reinforced roller blind modification to protrude out of the door trims, which would not be visually seen externally, just an idea With the weights for loaded brake test, maybe send the lorries with some concrete barrier weights to load and offload as required when performing the tests 🙏

[@AHomelessDorito]

Highly suggest replacing the rear window with a metal/plastic panel if possible!

[@Karl-w5d1h]

YO daniel have lost alot of weight you know. Missed this vlogs. Am back again watching. ps when i get rich, i want ashville to do my house. God willing. Yo inspire alot of young men. Keep up the good work.

[@pigalex]

24:25 i wonder if scania/volvo could keep sealed water tanks on hand (that are full to the brim). that way you can pop one in for the brake test and they could keep em on hand with the existing water

[@JagJGaming]

25:26 What a throwback I was there for all the home games back in the 15/16 season

[@imortaliz]

have you looked at offroad window guards for land rovers ? might help since they have to cut away metal to even get to the window :)

[@simonsymeou6449]

Love the way you deal with real life situations and any problems 👌🙌

[@truefalse207]

14:00, get a solid back door with rear view camera that links up to the dash or a separate screen in the front

[@emmettculleton7165]

You can buy a cage light thing that will screw to the inside of the door across the window. Then if they break the window, they still can’t get in so hopefully they won’t break the winter and it will be black and it will be plastic covered for screws on it job done

[@tomrooney7523]

I had a commercial repair centre in Glasgow we would do the inspection and any repairs on the day The customer send in loaded truck or trailer within 7 days of inspection 15 mins turn around it worked well for them and you only need 4 loaded VBT Including MOT test

[@williamsharp9050]

One thing that urban can do is they could put in a Pull tab on the inside which allows you to open the door from the inside when locked in which they will then be able to put a solid door on the back

[@differentgearuk]

There’s a button in the rear of the defender on the left hand side to open the door if your locked in. It’s mid way up and about 30cm in, you can’t see it from standing at the rear with the door open as it’s on a sloped bit of plastic, JLR should of put it with the tow bar button so people can find it 👍🏼

[@petesmitt]

11:40 the tinted windows prevent prospective thieves from seeing if anything of value is inside; I use a window van and chose not to tint the windows, because I wanted passersby to see nothing of value is inside.

[@menko22]

''Desperate people'' nah fam, they do it because they don't wanna work, they wanna take from hard working people. they have a choise and choose to do it.

[@pepperoni927]

Daniel try this for your car it might work Polycarbonate is the stronger material at 250 times the impact resistance of standard glass. Polycarbonate offers much more resilience than acrylic, making it ideal for highly demanding applications like bullet-resistant windows.

[@cyberprog]

Downside is they will probably then smash the side windows!

[@petesmitt]

@@cyberprog There aren't side windows to the storage area..

[@toolrestoration]

Just get your windows done in armour tints, can still remove it from the inside . Outside makes it unsmashable ( can still eventually break it but still not get in . )

[@cdl13]

Regarding loaded brake test. Why not get your hands on a second hand set of Brake rollers. Maybe, MAHA, VLT, or BM. Easy enough to use. Fit them in your own workshop and do brake testing in the yard yourselves.

[@stuartwindow6080]

Or just use a Bowmonk BrakeCheck decelerometer that is approved.

[@stephensimister3013]

Daniel,as you may or not know you can get security film that stops people smashing the glass in on your rear screen. It will shatter but will not give way and allow access into your vehicle. But will push out so people can escape in an emergency!

[@MrModerate_kane]

if this is a LR, then check the forums for back glass blowing out, related to wheel on back door. I would check that also, if it keeps happening i would check its not that issue.

[@ItsRyan.]

Would a conveyor system be more efficient for emptying the train carts? Or is that just not a viable option?

[@jonbell2305]

[@TheTorkerman]

Here in Australia on our buses we use anti shatter security window film, it’s 20 Mil thick (Mil not mm) and has worked great , if the window is smashed it retains all,of the broken pieces and makes it a lot harder to gain access through the window, ya boy should look into it

[@paulw5358]

[@steorris]

[@robertparsons3368]

Try leaving the tint of the rear window, if T-leaf can see what's in the back then might not bother smashing it in.

[@amogrows]

Rule of thumb is not to leave anything in mota anyways. Opportunists are always lurking. Daniel ought to have multiple cameras, so at least he can get crystal clear images of the offender(s) and bring em to justice.

[@UmarWaqasAli]

Another great watch of an episode . Crazy to see cars windows get smashed in central London . Just catch a Uber next time lol . The construction blogs are the one .

[@spark3564]

Maybe you can sell scania some concrete blocks that they can load and unload themselves for the break testing.

[@benjaminlewis3903]

You can get some dashcams that do front and rear. It wouldn't solve the problem but would certainly act as a deterrent.

[@auwz66]

Urban are leading you the wrong way, there is no requirement to have glass that breaks on the rear door. My advice is to get the glass covered with an anti smash film, on both sides. Smashguard sell a 250 micron film that will do the job. Then put a thinner 100 or 75 micron on the inside.

[@tylerstansbridge4263]

I havnt seen plumb slate in years as it was supposedly ran out nice to see they have found some more

[@MichaelMcintyre-w8i]

Why not get your own brake tester and do in house testing or cast some concrete blocks to simulate a load . Put them on with the grab test the brakes take off with the grab tipper can go back to work and only one wagon returning to the yard

[@adamchant2590]

Could you not have a cage inside the back with a emergency pull cord on the inside witch Will hing down if someone becomes locked inside. Just a idea 😉👍 and I think a GB rail freight/ ashville model train set around the top off your office would look amazing 😉👍

[@Nick-rm3rn]

I had the same issue with a Defender 110 Commercial…. Get a limousine black out tint film put on the rear window works a treat stops people seeing in, your car may have the clear sight mirror so you should still be fine for visibility when reversing

[@suresren]

When putting chains on your hiab loads do you realese that potting the chains on you are using the hooks the wrong way around as the clasp on the hook is up against the securing eye, hook the cjains in the other way around so the hook itself is in the loop and the strenth of the the hook is being used instead of the clasp on the hook,

[@josephwebster499]

Watch out as computer software does not have to work, the precedent was set 20+ years ago. I had a clause put in the contract that they would take the software back if I was not happy. But didn't state "take back free of charge" so was charged for over 50% of the cost and offered a partial refund. After a year and a month before court, a deal was agreed that I paid for all hardware. My solicitor said I would loose in court and would cost £100k in costs but I would not back down.
