It's so heartwarming to see the respect and politeness between Rob and Chris. It really is!

Chris is so laid back. If he doesn't become the new James Bond then there's gonna be riots. Great video 👏👏👏

Darren, don't forget you still owe me a fish and chips!

@tonyroyle4217 3 года назад

You guys are brilliant 👏 i envy you're friendships and being able to run your own place. Just to top it off your both really decent and honest blokes. To find honest decent dealers nowadays is difficult. Fan for like here. Would love to have a coffee with these 2 and watch chris at work, seriously intelligent man. All the best to you both and your familys. ✌👊.

@memyself7413 3 года назад

The consideration, tenacity, politeness , thought and really hard work that you two put into your efforts, give everybody listening, and watching, a lot of hope. We all wish that "Rob and Chris" were here to take our cars to........because you (Both) are, without a shadow of a doubt, truthful and honest. We trust and we like you.

@richardjones5255 3 года назад

A great turn around on the Vito Van, nothing missed out, and nothing glossed over. Considering the gamble you took, the journeying about and all the brisk work you have done, you have earned a fair return for your confidence. It is a valid point, you stuck your necks that bit further than others with your winning bids, the seller had his money, you won the vehicles, and worked the profit. An excellent result for everyone in my book.

@bradwhiteuk 3 года назад

Quality of these videos has really taken a step up recently. More Chris in the videos is great! Keep 'em coming guys 👍

@ged3680 3 года назад

Hello Chris and Rob, great team effort on these vans. Special thank you to Chris for his continued ‘pieces to camera’ very much appreciated and enjoyed. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

@GSKickel 3 года назад

Another great video lads. Really enjoying Chris getting more involved in the making of the videos and explaining his techniques as he works his magic.

@koreainsincere 3 года назад

You two are a bit special. Modest, unassuming but bloody brilliant. This is such good content, we're lucky to have you on here.

@johnmehaffey9953 3 года назад

That’s more like it Chris I really like the way you’re beginning to interact with the camera and telling us what you’re doing, just like rob to get you welding again, glad you are charging proper money guys , people shouldn’t forget that you are a business and you’ve got overheads , ie the garage , heating, electricity, etc, enjoyed the vlog guys

@petedig5809 3 года назад

Rob, don’t ever apologise for making a profit. You are so transparent with the numbers and everyone can see the quality of the work you do. No matter what you make, someone is going to get a great van at a great price, especially in the current difficult market. You both have a living to make and you take the risks.

@robturner7945 3 года назад

Rob on another adventure, Chris is a bloody genius and oil glugs when the can is not tipped sideways 😁. Superb as always.

@Michael-m4y 3 года назад

Nice to see chris doing more on the videos

@williamdonly7966 3 года назад

Well done Chris, doing your peice to camera fixing that door. What another awsome buy guys !! Quick turn around, well done for taking the gamble !!

@willchet9241 3 года назад

Props to Chris for making an effort with filming.

@benwaterton805 3 года назад

Love it when Chris pulls out the little tricks for the door great video.

@General_Confusion 3 года назад

When your trying to put oil in an engine, just make a small hole on the handle to let the air in Rob. Or, spend a tenner and get 20 plastic funnels and leave them laying all over the workshop.

@jamesbrett6518 3 года назад

Once on a Channel 4 program, Bernie Fineman was tell8ng everyone his "tip" of rolling a magazine up. Far easier to cut down a drink bottle

They dont do mess , tidy guys

@chriseccles1454 3 года назад

Short round head screw will reseal ready to use for used oil disposal. We used to mix used oil and proper creosote to protect wooden fences especially new posts at family home.

@SalimKhan-gk1fh 3 года назад

Why not just hold the container sideways then it will not ‘glug! As u pour into engine simple!

@ZL-jr5xp 3 года назад

Chris taking over camera duties, well done!

@stevedane787 3 года назад

Nice bit of "gentle persuasion" from Chris to realign the door. Quick flip and a good profit as well Can't be bad.

@robertwinsper7409 3 года назад

History repeats itself. My dear departed Dad spannered and drove for a member of the Birmingham speedway team. Every year they would purchase a big car, Zodiac or suchlike "up north" as the team transport, replace the rear bumper with a channel section to carry a bike and away they went . The season finale was always at Wembley where they would sell the season 'bus'. The price differential was usually enough to negate the overall cost for the year.

@alextripp1230 3 года назад

Hi Rob and Chris, now this is a tidy van, nice to see you fitted new front tyres. Chris was mustard sorting that front door out so quickly. Nice quick turnaround and enjoyed the video guy's. Cheers, Alex.

@benevans3733 3 года назад

Well done to chris for getting the lines so good on the drivers door

@gavowassy7655 3 года назад

Cracking video.. Love that Chris is doing his bit to camera... Keep saying it this is what wheeler dealers should be like... You guys need to be on TV

@stevedane787 3 года назад

I would say that being on TV is the last thing they want. As things stand,they have total control over the content, whereas being on TV means that you work through a production company, so you have to do as the director or producer wants. Look at the way Wheeler Dealers went down the pan when it got sold to the Americans. Don't change a thing.

@stephenricketts7764 3 года назад

Taking a chance on all those vans is as you know part of your kind of work. Generally you manage to get off OK. That was a bit naughty with the roof but I have seen it before, it is usually just laziness, take the rack off and can't be bothered to plug the holes . The same goes for the door, just throw some washers in that will do. You two would never do such a thing I know but you are right Rob in saying how far do you go. Great video and numbers gents have a good weekend Chris and Rob. 👍👍

@kingdick30 3 года назад

Well done guys, had a few of those vans now and still running one, really dependable and well built and main dealer parts are surprisingly priced. Whoever buys it will be well pleased.

@philtucker1224 3 года назад

Rob and Chris, I’m really enjoying this format where you are both inputting your contributions to the repairs as you go. It’s like actually being there helping to do the repairs….- very very enjoyable. Best regards from “an old Thanet boy” 😊

@1mic3 3 года назад

Am I alone in wanting to see the new gear knob in place ? 😂😂😂 great video as always 👍👍👍

@craigburrow8403 3 года назад

Nice one on this one - Nice to hear Chris join in with the explanation on the door fix - Keep it up lads - I really enjoy watching your channel. Cheers

@andyparker522 3 года назад

Love the Chris segments. They really balance out the videos.. keep up the great work guys!!

@arthurblundell6128 3 года назад

THese Wolverhampton ones have been so interesting --after they have run out could you find some in Edinburgh to keep us all going !!

@anthonymillar6183 3 года назад

Chris done brill lining up door I’m driving vitos years lovely to get in and out of all day Mercedes strong engine 💪🏻💪🏻 That’s nice profit rob Even though collecting it was a pain 😂 Great video both of you Keep it up 👍 👍

@pamboskourtoulos5239 3 года назад

When i first saw the van, i said to myself, no way too much exterior to do, but you did it again bravo. Have a great weekend

@ged3680 2 года назад

Hello Rob and Chris, another excellent video showing how you both work as a team to get projects done. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged

@jimgardner9044 3 года назад

I think the technical term you are describing is "GLUG GLUG GLUG" but I just call it and air-lock. Special thanks to Chris for taking the time to show us what he was doing with the door. Cheers, Jim in NZ.

@jonathanhammond3748 3 года назад

Quality fix yet again guys. Great to have Chris’ commentary too! Brilliant channel. 👍

@darrencowley8265 3 года назад

Hi Robin Chris I know I keep on saying the same thing week in week out but but what a great video again take care both 👍🏻😊

@sruk 3 года назад

Thank you we appreciate the comments 👍

@richardadriver 3 года назад

You've certainly struck lucky with these vans, they've al been pretty serviceable and decent looking. A bit of Chris & Rob magic and they are back on the road earning someone a crust.

@stevet1963 3 года назад

Nice job guys Chris is really coming out of his shell with his narration and dry humour 👍🏻✌️🙌🙌

@telfordlive 3 года назад

Rear tailgate and twin side doors is a great configuration. Tailgate keeps the rain off you.

@sammytheseal2307 3 года назад

Thanks Chris for the narration, keep it coming pretty please 😉

@sara-tc_uk9383 3 года назад

Great video as always guys. Love that Chris is getting more talkative, just needs a t-shirt now that says "I'm learning to waffle" 😁

@jerzywoking1699 3 года назад

I remember someone on Dragons Den developed an attachment to screw to an oil container to stop the oil from glugging. He was crestfallen when Peter Jones said "just turn the can on its side and it pours perfectly". Exited empty handed.

@kevinthomas1259 3 года назад

Great to see Chris straightening those hinges. A brilliant return for not too much work, but appreciate the trouble you go to to pick them up.

@sonnytaylor6580 3 года назад

Love how Chris is getting involved 👍🏻 great video guys, keep them coming!

@super6954 3 года назад

Thanks for another great video, I bet Chris finds straightening doors back either goes easy or they are a pain. over the years I've probably done 50 steel framed tractor/machine cab doors guys have smacked into gateposts and other things and that's what I find. Yeah that dogs smart with that ball. We use to fatten 5000 pigs a year here. Those animals ripped the boards off in the barns and figured out pushing a 6ft long planed 2x6 piece out of a mesh gate in the end of the barns with 6" x 4" holes in it. Quite often we'd find stuff they found or ripped off outside in the mornings where they chucked it out after playing with it for a while. They'd even throw all the bits of a Stanley knife out over a few days if one got dropped in there while cutting strings on bales and they found it. Take care guys.

@davep4589 3 года назад

I think after all this time we are all aware how much Chris doesn’t like the camera, BUT he’s more involved now and he’s really good at it, just like anything bloody else he does 😇😇 so please carry on Chris, another good video with a nice wage at the end of it very well deserved to,

@DB71170 3 года назад

What's that dogs name Ronaldinho 🤣 , nice bit of Chris explaining what he's doing etc . Not bad set of Van's so far & a decent profit well deserved guys 👏. Stay safe and look forward to seeing the next one.

@jamiemason9548 3 года назад

@murdi511 3 года назад

Nice wee turn.. Amazing it probably took less time to fix that door properly than the bodge did. Just shows you that it's only easy when you know how

@roypowell3450 3 года назад

Did you change that blasted gear knob? It was mentioned several times. Chris the "van whisper " now....another good video guys enjoy your weekend....

@drewbowler 3 года назад

Would have been good content to see the wheels get sorted, the seats deep cleaned and the ply lining replaced and upped the asking price. Great video as always 👍🏻

@v88krb 3 года назад

Good to see you making a good return on your work, but 'railway station' please!! Someone is going to get a nice van, hope it serves them well. Great content, thanks again guys.

@cornishrider 3 года назад

@howardlake6178 3 года назад

I'm such a dimwit I didn't realise the importance of hitting like, not that I didn't like all your previous videos! So, eventually I'll go back and check I've liked all of them! Loved the dog interlude. Dog lovers will like this story i heard at the weekend about a greyhound who was too clever for racing. He could see that if he hopped over the fence a couple of times, he could get to the hare first 😂

@williamchisholm5776 3 года назад

Another great turn around for you guys well done

@stekwack 3 года назад

Love the van Rob you can't beat a Vito, and will run forever too, making me miss the 2 I had. What a bargain that van was and will be when you put it up for sale.

@sonofedmund5004 3 года назад

Chris works his magic on the door, Robs got the knob and the glug! Dream team!

@neilkay159 3 года назад

Twin side loader doors are really rare on Vito..there usually minibus version. Good van and a good price!

@johnkaimins9998 3 года назад

This is an interesting comment, for I have not seen any Vito's here in Australia without twin side doors. Must be a UK thing.

@Tim67620 3 года назад

Another great video guys and a really quick flip, even with the travelling. Don't forget to change the gear knob. You must have mentioned it four times. All the best and great stuff.

@Wightmech 3 года назад

Great van guys and again another really good practical lesson from Chris. Thanks both, looking forward to the next one!

@neilfairless4589 3 года назад

Tilting the can on it's side lets the air in so helps the oil come out. Old school that Rob.

@sruk 3 года назад

I know bud old school is best 👍

@ZG0002 3 года назад

It's like a good wheeler dealers where they actually make some money and the guy doing the buying and selling isn't a absolute bell lol. Considering the content is of mostly run of the mill vehicles it's some how really compelling, I think that's just testament to these two nice chaps does things how they should be done. "You watching that guy again??" "What they fixing this time?" Is often heard from the Mrs. 😀

@oldboy1690 3 года назад

@Highbury007 3 года назад

Like watching your video spent a lot of time on sheppy in my youth but now live in Essex just seeing the old bridge and of course your repairs great fun to watch

@superbear617 3 года назад

Don't apologize for a smart business decision! You earned it! By the way, what did you do to the cargo area to clean it up with the water damage, etc.? Did you replace the panels or ??? Good luck on the next one!

@kevinnye5132 3 года назад

Nice to see you directing yourself now Chris 🤔 finding your own camera angles 😉, is there anything you can’t turn your hands too 😁. Blimey Rob could watch that dog and ball game all day 😁, do you have any half inch washers spare 🤪👍🏻. Nice video guys and have a great weekend.

@generalt1090 3 года назад

@tomjohntig 3 года назад

Great little work van, good to see Chris use his knowledge about how to manipulate panels to factory spec with a piece of iron and brute force lol. It’s a shame about the company that went into liquidation but good that you and Chris putting the vehicles back on the road Rob. Pity they haven’t got any company cars to get rid of the content would have been great and you could have got a 6 month rail pass Rob lol. Thanks for another great entertaining video looking forward to the next one. Tom
