Hi Rob and Chris I live and work on the Isle of Wight and yesterday saw the chassis cab you took the bed off and it still had the timber on the frame with the mudguards attached interesting and informative content as always keep up the great work

@fookdatchit4245 3 года назад

I absolutely love the longer videos and no compromise on the quality. Rob you were born for this you tube lark. Excellent work.

@islandhopperstuart 3 года назад

Rob, to confirm absence of coolant leaks I'd always pressurise the system with air to force coolant through any leak paths. Much quicker than getting the engine hot, and you have a cold engine to work on afterwards.

@stuart30ful 3 года назад

I've just had an amazing idea for a stand alone video. Rob comes and collects my Vivaro Van and Chris can then prep it for full respray and sort out some cosmetic issues along the way. Once done Rob can clean it to new van standards and before crunching the numbers you lads could give it a full service and brim the tank with fuel. Obviously as its "Content" for the channel...you surprise us all by saying "No no this is on us no need to pay". You free Friday afternoon for Collection Rob...lol.

@chrisbardell 3 года назад

Great vid. We all go on about Chris’s engineering skills, but Rob ain’t no slouch either. Well done on this punt, definitely worked out.

@TheOriginalDaveJ 3 года назад

Another cracking job gents. I love watching and interacting in your videos. Keep up the good work and keep the content coming. I think the majority of us would like to see Chris doing the bodywork, it would give some of us the confidence to try it ourselves. Wee tip for the copper washers (any copper washer). Heat them up till they're orange then dip them in water. Softens them up up you get a perfect seal.

@vegasphil 3 года назад

Would you consider doing a bit of a camper project on it? LWB is ideal - Pop top, window van conversion and a camper furniture/bed build. Would be worth strong money for a nicely finished van and hold their value well too. You both seem to like your campers and with your attention to detail and skill it would be great to see!

@gdfggggg 3 года назад

I’m a trained diesel mechanic and worked on Volvo trucks back in the day. I’ve no idea if you guys are qualified but if you have a basic understanding of engines and a bit of common sense most things are doable. And, these days there’s so much information available there’s no reason why we shouldn’t have a bash.

@DanLeeds10 3 года назад

Glad it’s worked out so well, they definitely do really suit the colour coded/sporty look so can see why you’re both tempted to go down that route.

@ColinPrince 2 года назад

Really enjoyed this series. I can’t understand why car manufacturers make things so complicated, I guess it’s to put people off repairing them yourself!

@keithfletcher6123 3 года назад

Chris walks through closing scene … obviously Rob’s visual cue for “waffling on”. Chris must set a timer … 🤣

@neilt7145 3 года назад

If there's uneven wear on each side of the rear brakes you need to take the sliders out, clean them up and put some slider grease on them. Fantastic channel guys.

@ConnorA21 3 года назад

@ianratcliffe2299 3 года назад

Cracking video guy’s, you took a massive risk and it paid off 👍 I think Chris wants to put a set of alloys on it get it colour coded and then give you a cheque and keep it for himself you can tell he’s in love with it 😍

@alextripp1230 3 года назад

Hi Rob and Chris, great video and what a nice van.. colour code it, put alloys on it guy's, it'll look really smart.. cheers, Alex.

@13smarts1 3 года назад

Great viewing, I am in Australia, have found from previous experience with these Puma engines that quite often you can get parts a lot cheaper through Land Rover, as this engine was used in the Defenders, and Land Rover don't charge as much as Ford do for some parts! (might help if you ever do another one)

@memyself7413 3 года назад

I don`t think there are any other mechanics or vehicle traders that will match you two for straightforwardness, honesty and integrity. If I hadn`t have witnessed it, I would have doubted it. What an absolute pleasure to have found your channel.

Great video and loved the bit where Chris is sat on the wheelie stool with a cuppa supervising 😀That one paid off and just shows how with some investigation vehicles can be saved. I think Chris has his eye on the van, coloured coded and alloys? Could be for Chris? Looking forward to Friday already 👍

Great result on the van. Defo colour code it and keep it. 👏👌👌

@michaelwalker1145 3 года назад

You can update that front end to the latest one. There is a load of things hidden in them vans ,especially the basic ones. The wiring is there for a 12 volt outlet on the drivers side where the rear light wires are. Custom owners club is the place to look .

@malcelwell7209 3 года назад

Hi rob love the videos but can I give you a quick tip and save you some hassle. When you leave the key in the bonnet release it’s prone you get snapped off when you walk passed it 👍

@jo_clarke1960 3 года назад

Shows what knowing means, diagnosed and repaired instead of jumping in with engine change. Looks good, keep/sell, do bumpers, not etc. I'm sure at some me stage you'll wish you kept it, just depends on how much you need the extra carrying capacity daily. 👍

@pamboskourtoulos5239 3 года назад

@domenicoforte1799 3 года назад

I was told by a friend in the trade that the issue with the wet belts is that the oil pickup in the sump gets blocked over time and the belts fail. So check that oil pickup there might be an upgraded part available. The thermostat housing are a common problem, the modified part has a sensor removed from it stopping the vehicle going into a false limp mode and sending the wrong temperature to the ECU

@adamtoms2726 3 года назад

Excellent number there gents, nice when a gamble pays off. In regards to colour coding, if the buyer wants to do that it can be something they do. I don't imagine you'd see a return on that extra effort, but a nice idea. Keep up the great work.

Great result guys, you took a gamble on it , mechanically now mint , small bit of bodywork to get done , vans bringing strong money Rob at moment , price it up off we buy any and see what it's worth , my mate got 7700 plus vat last week for a vivaro 1.6 bi turbo diesel on a 2016 with 98k on it , with small body damage and bumper damage on the front , the van looks a million dollars, well done with the repair, you guys can sleep at night as you do the job right !

@andrewwest9252 3 года назад

In the absence of trolling through all the posts - you can heat up copper washers, til they glow and plunge them into water. This re-anneals the washer, so you can use it again - I've done this many times and it works :-)

@mattlawton4715 3 года назад

Yes but washers are cheap no point👍

@TheMase60 3 года назад

Both me and son were going to buy vans but prices are stupid right now.Absolutely the right thing to do that van is to bling it up fit the body kit and alloys vinyls on the bodywork then ask proper money because if you dont the next owner will only negative it's not a aircon van.Would be disappointed if you don't make a big profit on this one

@hammerwell0868 3 года назад

Great video and a very nice looking van . Since I've been watching your videos it's given me a bit of confidence to get out there and try doing bits on my own car, I've recently attempted the sills on my VW golf and I'm happy with it but I have to go through the mot process now and see just how good or bad I've done . Only other things I can see wrong is the splash plate on rear brakes are corroded, also the boot on rear suspension is split, no leaks but just wear and tear , not sure if this would fail would it ? But a massive thank you to you both for taking the time to make these videos and Rob I love the way you try and show us as much as possible whilst doing the work , you've really helped a subscriber here and saved me a few quid , so if I'm ever down your way I'll shout you both a drink 👍

You might know this already so apologies if you do. When buying from GSF always look online first and use the discount code on the page, the same parts are always cheaper online than they are when you call them or go into the shop. The more expensive the part is the more you save, but as an example those rear pads that you bought for £19 are £15.53 online. You can click and collect or get free delivery if you spend over £20
