Having the mics on and actually hearing you both conversating with each other clearly is a game changer to this channel! Keep doing what you do! Cant wait to see how this channel blows up and progresses. ill with u guys every step of the way 👏👏👏👏 much ❤️
I love your channel so much! You guys are so honest and hard working. It’s so refreshing compared to all the flash American teenager channels who may work on 'supercars' but actually do a rubbish job repairing salvage and don’t really know what they are doing. Well done representing the best of 🇬🇧 Makes me feel proud. We do it right!
I was quietly confident that your gearbox would fit and all you needed was to swap a few brackets. I think the new clutch already installed was a bonus and more important saved a good few pounds! I have to say I have never in all my years working on cars seen such a strange liquid come out of a gearbox, seen some horrible oil but not that!?? Anyway a very good result in the end, just took a bit longer than expected. Well done Rob and Chris once again. Just a quick thought Rob I keep forgetting this, You wearing contact lenses, I would suggest wearing safety glasses when under a vehicle. I mention it as my brother got something in his eye and damaged the lens luckily not his eye but the optician said it could have been worse. Have a good weekend Rob and Chris , we will see you soon.👍👍💪
Amazing content on The Citroen DS3 the car is back on its 4 wheels. The car runs and drives with no unwanted knocks or bangs. The gearbox must feel really sweet on the car and all the gears change perfectly. Well done guys you’ve earned a great profit out that car. That gearbox wasn’t expected to go wrong with this car. But that’s gamble you take when buying these sort of cars. You’ve gotta to be in it to win it. Have a lovely weekend guys.
Well done Rob & Chris with the gearbox I knew it would be sorted as it was in your hands & you don't let anything go that isn't right & now everything is sorted & looking very Smart 👍👍👍
That gearbox was really knackered!! I bet its never had an oil change in it's entire life ,that horrible fluid that drained out of it tells the tale. Excellent job guys.That spare gear box you had from a doner vehicle ,including no cluch replacement,saved yourself a substantial amount of money. Hope that car is sold soon.
I've just bought one of these myself a couple of weeks ago, and £2500 is a fantastic price for a well sorted car. I certainly could have snapped this one up if I'd known just a little sooner. Great content as usual guys. New mics are great
It looks like the strange hand soap we've got at work 😀 I have no clue what it actually is but that liquid hand soap actually has swirling glittery stuff in it that looks an awful lot like the metal filings in this oil.
Brucie bonus 2 video Monday, lovely treat thank you guys! Bonus is that you had the spare gearbox and now you have a little extra storage space too. This as always is a nice little runner and worth every penny, well done guys. Now for the 2nd video to watch👍👍👍
Rob so good to see you get involved instead of I ll go and get parts!!! Absolutely entertaining!! Guys you have gone from strength to strength! Absolutely well done 👏!!
I had one of these on a 10 plate same spec lovely car to drive ,very reliable but the sills were absolutely rotten and none were available at the time (only last year) so sold it to a welder fabricator who was going to make his own. Miss it very much.
If you put some rocks with minimal gap between them (bricks for example, 3-4 layers or more, depending on how much weight the fireplace can hold) on top of the stove in your garage, they will hold heat for several hours and even when the fire has gone out, there's still heat coming from the fireplace for a couple of hours. Just an Estonian thought, because we have saunas which have similar construction and quite a lot of us still use fireplaces for everyday heating during winter in -20. But otherwise, excellent video as always! Always waiting for more.
Some people shouldn't be allowed to own a vehicle. The abuse that car has had is shocking! It's good that you have rescued it and cured all of its pain and ended it's suffering and that it will go to a good home, remember a DS3 is for life not just Christmas! Great content as always lads.
What a touch, and again yet another gem. Fair play gents, you've got yourself a blinding result there with that little runner. 🙌💪😁. After seeing the amount of stuff that wasn't clipped back in and what was coming out the gear box and then Rob and Chris giving us the SRUK run down on what was wrong with it just says one thing. That gearbox or the entire car for that matter was not looked at by someone who knew what they were doing. So again I repeat myself, you get what you pay for. If you want a job doing properly take it to someone who knows what they are doing.... Now erm, Rob how many coffees will it take when my car is due a service to get you and Chris to do the job. You've kinda set the bench mark high in terms of doing things to a high standard 🤣.
Reminds me of my mate's old Orion 1.6 Injection (A reg) where the gearbox was bolted back together after a clutch change using the wrong bolts.....it disengaged itself from the engine block and destroyed both itself and the clutch.
Love how your not greedy with the prices rare in the car trade to find honest genuine people who would be genuinely gutted if they accidentally sold a car that was bad and would prob give your money back not that I could c that ever happening there very thorough
Friday night and that was more entertaining than anything on the tele. Seeing the other bodgery, whilst it was in the air, belt and braces, I'd have spent the small amount of extra time to take the clutch off and see if there was more hidden bodgery lurking. And it would be nice to see the internals of the box before you put it in the skip just because of the oil, glitter and water. Just rip it apart and show a minute segment in the next episode. Then lob it in the skip. Voice of the GPS: Leave the roundabout at the first exit Rob, or go around a few times looking for it. You live here Rob! Navigation terminated. Find your own way home...🙂
Enjoyed that build. I would defo wait for the log book issue and sell the number plate. £500 is a great lift on top of the profit for the actual build. Great job guys 👍👍
Good vid lads 👍 Could do short video on whipping the old box apart would be interesting Plus you could take the input shaft out and you’ll have a Citroen / Peugeot clutch aligning tool 👍
Let it go with the reg plate that's on it. The new owner can take the plate off , swap the reg to the one that was on originally, put the personal plate on a retention certificate and sell it in their own good time.
Rob so pleased you mentioned the front number plate, it was affecting my OCD😂😂. Brilliant video that is one sorted DS3 absolutely stunning. Total credit to you both.
Lovely car that burgundy color adds a classy look to it. Great save thanks gentlemen. And Rob you have hopefully quieted the doubters with all you hard hands on work in the last few videos I knew now we all do LOL
That car should be considered a lucky escape, I doubt most people would have seen it through as you have done, it would of been a parts donor or a "race what you brought to the field" banger.
Thanks once more Rob and Chris for a smashing video. When I was a lad the weekend started with Ready Steady Go. Now it starts with SRUK. Great work again.
Another great repair chaps !. I was going to joke about the dashboard flashing “1st January 2007”, you have a new Time Machine ?!….just need to get up to 88 MPH…and …
The old Shiteroen turned out OK. Water in the Gearbox, Water In the number plate, it hasn't been through Rufford Ford by any chance, a bit of hydrolock wouldn't have done that engine a favour either. All sorted now though
You two have taken that from dog's dinner to dog's danglies and you deserve every penny of your profit and also much respect to you for giving the valeter a drink for dealing with the rank interior of it.
Good video. Maybe sell it for something like £2800 and give the new buyer the details of the guy offering £500 for the reg number? Very minor point but I think there's a gap between the chin spoiler and bumper on the passenger side - missing a fastener? Would be interesting to open up the old gearbox and show what state it is in inside.
Evening Rob & Chris. What a fantastic result on the gear box 👍🏻 Just shows you shouldn’t throw anything away lol 😆 So glad you’re both making a tidy profit as you both do out a lot of time and effort fixing them up not forgetting making these absolutely amazing videos 😀
Great result on this one Rob, when you showed all the loom etc not replaced properly above the gearbox I just knew it had a new clutch (had similar cars myself) so good to save a bit on that.
It’s quite clear in the flood water as somehow got into the gear box and oil that’s my thoughts, but going on it’s a nice looking motor that has finally been sorted out hands on video enjoyable thankyou
Good work guys, but defiantly sell the plate (hopefully to a subscriber) the online DVLA assign/remove a private number plate is so easy nowadays takes 5 mins and only 3 days for log book strikes aside….
Wow what a bargain little car I think it’s beautiful I’d love it well done lads shame the engines a bit high my daughters leaning to drive would be a lovely car but too much on insurance for her but by the time she’s looking at getting one I’m sure you’ll have something in - Merry Christmas
Hello Rob and Chris, nice result in the end. What microphones did you get in the end, they are very good. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
This sounds like it's been driven through a flood and the engine has hydrauliced. That would explain the water in the gearbox. Good to see it rescued 👍
Great video again lads, I’ve always said that I don’t understand why people don’t change their gearbox oil, it’s basically doing the same mileage as the engine! Chris & Rob, I must send you’s a new battery for the clock in the garage😂
That's a lovely well sorted little car. Definitely worth doing when you crunched the numbers. That was fortunate it had a recent clutch. That's the first time I've seen metallic grey paint used to lubricate a gearbox! 🤣 Top work, both. 👍
Do a colab and offer it to Chops Garage, be perfect for him. And number plate change and logbook, etc doesn't take long now, I did mine a few weeks ago and it took less than 5 days to get the new V5 and Number plate retention form.
Great finale for this car. Those seats look well comfortable with the big bolsters. Whoever gets this motor will have a few years of trouble free motoring if they maintain it regularly. How many older cars breakdown because of maintenance issues! Back the BMW next ? 👍🇬🇧😎
I wonder what the inside of that gearbox looked like. Used to have a 1.6 diesel c3 picasso, which used to whine quite badly in reverse. Even changed the clutch on it, when it was under 50,000 miles. After watching this im now wondering if tge gearbox was failing. Alas no longer have it as it was written off!
My mate had one of those brand new and the gearbox was whining after 6k. It was a common problem. Citroen wouldn’t even look at it unless she paid them so back to the lease company it went.
Nice flip boys ! Rob quick question…..I’m trying to look thru your old episodes but what happened to the LSE and the Range Rover Sport ?? Sorry if I’ve missed it somewhere?? Thank you !
Lads you're underselling yourselves. Seriously. Youre admirable in your policy of leaving some for the next guy but people will pay good money and perhaps a premium to know you've looked after their new car. Anyway, see ya Monday!
Just when you thought that car couldn't surprise you anymore, the gearbox was a smoothie and the new clutch being a Brucie bonus so what a win for you guys 👍🏻 it's a cracking sounding motor now but does make you wonder about it's previous life 👀😅
Those front discs are horrendous. Im surprised you didn’t change them. I think that gear box had been a gearbox for too long. That will be a sweet fide for someone.
Maybe that was a Rufford Ford car! It’s been used and abused but glad to see it all fixed up proper and back on the road instead of in the scrapyard. Great vid as usual guys. Cheers!
Good to see you bring that car back from the brink. It’s a nice spec in white with the maroon accents and leather interior. At £2500 it’ll be a nice little motor for somebody who will hopefully show it more love than its previous owner👍
Those Guide bush's all go like that, release bearing fails and then kills the rest of it, OE is same price as pattern but you should check the end float in the input shaft when replaced, not that I know anyone who does
.... well done again guys - you'rere the go-to channel even before the world cup football (although that may change in the next few weeks - or probably not after tomorrow with france!) - I'm one of them who keeps asking about the orange oil drip feed tank, to the side of the multifuel stove - how does it work / what is the purpose of it?
I`m sure I`ve seen that gunk that came out of the gearbox on a Dulux colour chart.... looked more like paint than oil ..... whoever did it previously probably used whatever liquid that was close to hand !!! 😕 Silk purse from a sows ear now tho` 👍👍👍
I'd put money on it being the same lad opened and "resealed" the gearbox as overlooked the wear from the release bearing. Water ingress into box then causing failure that probably only became obvious after it sat idle for a while. At least it failed in the yard and not after new owner had it for a while
Came good in the end, as we all knew it would. That'll do someone a right treat now at 2500 and they'll be safe in the knowledge it's a well sorted example! 👍
Having the mics on and actually hearing you both conversating with each other clearly is a game changer to this channel! Keep doing what you do! Cant wait to see how this channel blows up and progresses. ill with u guys every step of the way 👏👏👏👏 much ❤️
Love the lack of bullshit in these videos, No fancy intros, no product pushing, Just great content about doing work properly.
I love your channel so much! You guys are so honest and hard working. It’s so refreshing compared to all the flash American teenager channels who may work on 'supercars' but actually do a rubbish job repairing salvage and don’t really know what they are doing.

Bad news when the oil has scrap metal value
And it's so emulsified, you could paint your kitchen walls with it 😄😄
Or maybe that colour would look better in the bathroom.......
Lovely surprise keep them coming sound is perfect as well good man Rob
That’s water not metal in the oil.
You two are better than any television series ! What an interesting colour that liquid out of the gearbox.
Amazing content on The Citroen DS3 the car is back on its 4 wheels. The car runs and drives with no unwanted knocks or bangs. The gearbox must feel really sweet on the car and all the gears change perfectly. Well done guys you’ve earned a great profit out that car.

Excellent job guys.That spare gear box you had from a doner vehicle ,including no cluch replacement,saved yourself a substantial amount of money. Hope that car is sold soon.
Sell the plate, free money for an SR Christmas lunch. Thanks for another great series boys. All the best Daz
I've just bought one of these myself a couple of weeks ago, and £2500 is a fantastic price for a well sorted car. I certainly could have snapped this one up if I'd known just a little sooner. Great content as usual guys. New mics are great
Mics are working a treat guy's and that DS is sorted. Great result Rob.
Rob says "unexpected video"
We say " awesome content" 👌
Kudos as well for lifting that gearbox out 💪
That gearbox oil is unbelievable. Not seen many like that in my time.
It looks like the strange hand soap we've got at work 😀
I have no clue what it actually is but that liquid hand soap actually has swirling glittery stuff in it that looks an awful lot like the metal filings in this oil.
@@Ragnar8504 That'll be the industrial waste the neighbouring Chinese factory wanted to dispose of.
What a result having a brand new clutch perfect little motor have a great weekend guy's 👌👌👌
Brucie bonus 2 video Monday, lovely treat thank you guys! Bonus is that you had the spare gearbox and now you have a little extra storage space too. This as always is a nice little runner and worth every penny, well done guys. Now for the 2nd video to watch👍👍👍
Great watch !!! Rob and Chris , come across as a pair of diamond geezers !!!
Rob so good to see you get involved instead of I ll go and get parts!!!
Absolutely entertaining!! Guys you have gone from strength to strength!
Absolutely well done 👏!!
The new Mic's are great, I can hear Chris gathering the shrapnel from the cars! 🤣
I had one of these on a 10 plate same spec lovely car to drive ,very reliable but the sills were absolutely rotten and none were available at the time (only last year) so sold it to a welder fabricator who was going to make his own. Miss it very much.

Well done boys, a nice car in the end to go with a nice earner, respect to you for offering the cars out at a reasonable price.
Brilliant as usual.
You are the Maverick and Goose like Top gun of Salvage rebuilds
Friday night and that was more entertaining than anything on the tele.
Seeing the other bodgery, whilst it was in the air, belt and braces, I'd have spent the small amount of extra time to take the clutch off and see if there was more hidden bodgery lurking.

Enjoyed that build. I would defo wait for the log book issue and sell the number plate. £500 is a great lift on top of the profit for the actual build. Great job guys 👍👍
Great job but you've likely downgraded refinement and economy. The Berlingo gearbox runs only 23.7mph/1000 revs, the DS3 a pretty tall 29.7mph.
Good vid lads 👍
Could do short video on whipping the old box apart would be interesting
Plus you could take the input shaft out and you’ll have a Citroen / Peugeot clutch aligning tool 👍
Nice work guys,the Citroen DS3 looks a nice car.to have the clutch at hand has saved some money.having it cleaned has made it like new again.
Let it go with the reg plate that's on it. The new owner can take the plate off , swap the reg to the one that was on originally, put the personal plate on a retention certificate and sell it in their own good time.
Rob so pleased you mentioned the front number plate, it was affecting my OCD😂😂. Brilliant video that is one sorted DS3 absolutely stunning. Total credit to you both.
That van was the gift that keeps on giving 👍😃 Great job guys
Brilliant well done guys can’t believe the mess of the oil in gearbox well done guys it’s ready for new owner 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Lovely car that burgundy color adds a classy look to it. Great save thanks gentlemen. And Rob you have hopefully quieted the doubters with all you hard hands on work in the last few videos I knew now we all do LOL
That car should be considered a lucky escape, I doubt most people would have seen it through as you have done, it would of been a parts donor or a "race what you brought to the field" banger.
On a below zero night in Ireland with a big snow forecast, can't beat a Rob and Chris video 👍👍👍🍍☘️🌻⚡🙏🦾❤️🇮🇪🇮🇪🇮🇪
Thanks once more Rob and Chris for a smashing video. When I was a lad the weekend started with Ready Steady Go. Now it starts with SRUK. Great work again.

Well done Rob & Chris what a great transformation job that you have done on the abused DS3.
You two have taken that from dog's dinner to dog's danglies and you deserve every penny of your profit and also much respect to you for giving the valeter a drink for dealing with the rank interior of it.
Good video. Maybe sell it for something like £2800 and give the new buyer the details of the guy offering £500 for the reg number? Very minor point but I think there's a gap between the chin spoiler and bumper on the passenger side - missing a fastener? Would be interesting to open up the old gearbox and show what state it is in inside.
Cars coming along nicely Rob.The price of the parts is eye watering.When its finished though its going to be an awesome car.👍🏻
Evening Rob & Chris. What a fantastic result on the gear box 👍🏻 Just shows you shouldn’t throw anything away lol 😆 So glad you’re both making a tidy profit as you both do out a lot of time and effort fixing them up not forgetting making these absolutely amazing videos 😀
Well done chaps, all that hard graft has made an old banger into a great little runner. Great work Rob n Chris.
That car is like triggers broom , at least after all that work it will give the new owner peace of mind
Great result on this one Rob, when you showed all the loom etc not replaced properly above the gearbox I just knew it had a new clutch (had similar cars myself) so good to save a bit on that.
It’s quite clear in the flood water as somehow got into the gear box and oil that’s my thoughts, but going on it’s a nice looking motor that has finally been sorted out hands on video enjoyable thankyou
It hasn’t been in a flood 👍
Loving the 🎤 lads! We hear everything now, even Chris cleaning and putting his tools away,🤣
Great video as always, keep up the great work!
You two lads are so clever fixing car's. Merry Christmas.
Good work chaps! My only input on number plates, taking them on and off is they're a pain in the...!
Nice to see you both back at work😉a nice little job to get you get back into the swing. Looking forward to the 22 reg! Cheers guys...
Good work guys, but defiantly sell the plate (hopefully to a subscriber) the online DVLA assign/remove a private number plate is so easy nowadays takes 5 mins and only 3 days for log book strikes aside….
Just one of my favourite channels, always great content
Sell the plate to balance out the shortfall on the Focus you dropped at Kent Salvage.....swings `n` roundabouts 😉
Another great video guys .mics are ace gd to hear you both. 👏
Wow what a bargain little car I think it’s beautiful I’d love it well done lads shame the engines a bit high my daughters leaning to drive would be a lovely car but too much on insurance for her but by the time she’s looking at getting one I’m sure you’ll have something in - Merry Christmas
You could've gotten the contents out've the gearbox with a magnet. Once again, you're showing how it should be done. Nice one chaps.
Poor DS3 has had a hard life boys.Good thing it's in the right hands now
Hello Rob and Chris, nice result in the end.
What microphones did you get in the end, they are very good.
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged.
I watch all your new video and look forward to them each week. Keep up the great work.
This sounds like it's been driven through a flood and the engine has hydrauliced. That would explain the water in the gearbox. Good to see it rescued 👍
Great video again lads, I’ve always said that I don’t understand why people don’t change their gearbox oil, it’s basically doing the same mileage as the engine!

And number plate change and logbook, etc doesn't take long now, I did mine a few weeks ago and it took less than 5 days to get the new V5 and Number plate retention form.
Another winner fellas . Great work and return 👍
Great finale for this car. Those seats look well comfortable with the big bolsters. Whoever gets this motor will have a few years of trouble free motoring if they maintain it regularly. How many older cars breakdown because of maintenance issues! Back the BMW next ? 👍🇬🇧😎
Another great video guys.. can’t believe the state of that oil! Would have thought the van gearbox would have different gear/ final drive ratios?
I wonder what the inside of that gearbox looked like. Used to have a 1.6 diesel c3 picasso, which used to whine quite badly in reverse. Even changed the clutch on it, when it was under 50,000 miles. After watching this im now wondering if tge gearbox was failing. Alas no longer have it as it was written off!
My mate had one of those brand new and the gearbox was whining after 6k. It was a common problem. Citroen wouldn’t even look at it unless she paid them so back to the lease company it went.
Result with the box! Could you guys do a video on the transfer of the plate if it goes ahead? It's a grey area that has always put me off doing it
Got a DS3 box in my expert tepee 1.6 so much better on the motorway and saves a pile on fuel as it no longer screams to death.
Nice video, interesting content and your accent helps me to keep my English at a decent level! Thank you.
What a cracking little car now you've sorted it & another one saved from the scrap heap, well done chaps👍
This little car is so cute, now you two guys have worked your mechanical magic, it runs as well as it looks❤.
Another winner guys, enjoyed that, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Would the gear ratios in a van be the same as a sporty little hatchback. I would have thought van lower geared, as a heavier van and less powerful ?
Nice flip boys ! Rob quick question…..I’m trying to look thru your old episodes but what happened to the LSE and the Range Rover Sport ?? Sorry if I’ve missed it somewhere?? Thank you !
So that is a DS3:
Desireable Salvage
Diligently Sorted
Done smashing !
Well done guys, another great video and a very acceptable profit.
Cheers, Bob
Lads you're underselling yourselves. Seriously. Youre admirable in your policy of leaving some for the next guy but people will pay good money and perhaps a premium to know you've looked after their new car.
Anyway, see ya Monday!
Just when you thought that car couldn't surprise you anymore, the gearbox was a smoothie and the new clutch being a Brucie bonus so what a win for you guys 👍🏻 it's a cracking sounding motor now but does make you wonder about it's previous life 👀😅
Like the background music on this episode. Seemed to work well with the task at hand.
Those front discs are horrendous. Im surprised you didn’t change them. I think that gear box had been a gearbox for too long. That will be a sweet fide for someone.
Maybe that was a Rufford Ford car! It’s been used and abused but glad to see it all fixed up proper and back on the road instead of in the scrapyard. Great vid as usual guys. Cheers!
Good to see you bring that car back from the brink. It’s a nice spec in white with the maroon accents and leather interior. At £2500 it’ll be a nice little motor for somebody who will hopefully show it more love than its previous owner👍
Those Guide bush's all go like that, release bearing fails and then kills the rest of it, OE is same price as pattern but you should check the end float in the input shaft when replaced, not that I know anyone who does
.... well done again guys - you'rere the go-to channel even before the world cup football (although that may change in the next few weeks - or probably not after tomorrow with france!) - I'm one of them who keeps asking about the orange oil drip feed tank, to the side of the multifuel stove - how does it work / what is the purpose of it?
I`m sure I`ve seen that gunk that came out of the gearbox on a Dulux colour chart.... looked more like paint than oil ..... whoever did it previously probably used whatever liquid that was close to hand !!! 😕 Silk purse from a sows ear now tho` 👍👍👍
great videos as always....lots of content and no greed....what can i say...keep em coming....saves me watching ronaldo crying again
Very nice one, Rob and Chris. And happy holidays.
Yes sell the number plate it’s wasted on that car really 🤷🏼♂️ great video and a great job on the little Citroen 🚙
Mics are banging, great addition.
I'd put money on it being the same lad opened and "resealed" the gearbox as overlooked the wear from the release bearing. Water ingress into box then causing failure that probably only became obvious after it sat idle for a while. At least it failed in the yard and not after new owner had it for a while
Came good in the end, as we all knew it would. That'll do someone a right treat now at 2500 and they'll be safe in the knowledge it's a well sorted example! 👍
An unloved car given some love... well done guys fab little series 👍
Great vid and well done on the fix.
Prob the best salvage rebuild guys ive ever watched on You Tube. Love your channel.😀😀😀😀😀
