Great news about Ronnie he’s a credit to the fleet Ben👌A lot of us watch the channel for you so would definitely still tune in to the review videos, I think if it’s something you think you could enjoy making a video on then go for it 👍

@SleafordRecovery Месяц назад

Thanks for the kind words Nick. It's something I'll have a think about. Cheers

@GenaF Месяц назад

Respect to you for not selling out and doing review videos (at least since I have been subscribing) I always think such advertising videos are insincere by most RU-vidrs. I respect those who don't do them.

All these recovery vehicles without MOTS get caught out on DVSA check points!😮 Great to see Ronnie with a good solid pass & Inspector been correct on your tacho😊

The first time I took my own 7.5 tonner for an MOT it failed. I had replaced the manky side marker lights with some fancy LED ones and I quite fancied some of that wide relective tape which I applied down the full length of the body. The reason they failed it was because there were no reflectors on the side - the old marker lights had reflectors incorporated. But what about the relective tape? No good as it has to be separate reflectors! 😳 I my opinion the reflective tape is far more visible than any individual reflectors!

@DanielElkin-w5x Месяц назад

Long time viewer first time commenter... You can check MOT status of HGV by searching vehicle MOT history, this will also show advisories that we're recorded by the examiner. Also the same for cars/vans etc. If you have the logbook number you can also see where tests on non hgvs were done. This goes back to 2018 if I remember correctly. On the same site you can check for recalls on the vehicle you are searching for Love the videos, always uplifting. Keep it up 🤙

Well done on the MOT Pass. You mentioned about advisory’s. I’m led to believe that with commercial MOT. You don’t get any advisory’s, you either pass or fail.

You can still get them mate. Last year I got one for a patch of rust near the screenwash bottle. Sorted it last week 👌

@davidbeeston2481 Месяц назад

I was never that interested in the products that you reviewed and there are so many on RU-vid that do this now and some I no longer follow because of it; they have morphed into Influencers who are two a penny nowadays. Having said that I did purchase a 'TopDon' jump starter after seeing your review, but don't tell anyone. I do enjoy your videos and please keep up the good work.

Content!

@simonburr2248 Месяц назад

Why don’t you do separate videos, so you do your main vlog then do the reviews away from the main vlog. I know it’s a bit of extra work, but it could bring you some extra income for your channel. That way if people don’t want to watch the reviews they don’t have to and if the views don’t show it’s worth it then you can bin them! But you don’t know until you try and I often do a RU-vid search on stuff I’m buying. If you want a chat about doing the reviews etc. you know I’m just round the corner from you I can pop in and have a chat.

@SleafordRecovery Месяц назад

Yeah maybe a good idea. Cheers mate

@@SleafordRecovery we did it on our other channel for 5 years, did the main content then the advertising features separate, that way you don’t sell yourself out for sponsors and you can make decent money if they give you a discount code.

That wasn't the test pass certificate, only the brake test readout, they stopped giving pass certificates at the end of April 2024. However if it had failed you would have been given a paper test refusal certificate. Analogue tachographs are required to have a calibration every two years with a full calibration every six years. Windsreens should be kept clear at all times not cluttered up with flags, what are you, recovery or a mobile gala?🤣
