One important number you forgot to crunch , how much change did Chris find.
😆👍
Great video guys, spring and ball bearing on the 5th gear selector is called the detent - that’s what stops it jumping back out of gear 👍
" hiya love, salvage rebuilds have got my old van on + they are fixing it up, lets watch it together over tea"
21:40, "THATS NOT MY EAR-RING YOU ******** GET OUT" " thanks lads, i'll get my coat"
keep up the good work chaps...
It always amazes me how clean Rob looks even dealing with the oily bits. Keep up the good work.
Very handy fix to the gearbox. Interesting video. Thanks to a viewer for his advice.
That will now be a good little runabout for someone. I don't remember ever seeing bearings showing like that, strange. I like the quick fix for the gearbox, pitty they're not all like that saves a lot of work. Thanks Rob and Chris for yet another intereesting video.
Great video as always guys did make me chuckle when Chris used his little grabber to retrieve the money ££.Look forward to seeing your next video 👍
Great fix on that Gearbox Chris n Rob 👏 Reminds me of the Vauxhall Cavaliers year's ago when you could slide pull the first motion shaft back through the end of the box and replace the Clutch without removing the box 😆
Used to a real handy job.
Best Channel on TH-cam by a MILE
That selector fork is a classic case of someone holding it in 5th on the gearstick. Tbh you would likely have got away with a new selector & a mainshaft nut tighten but a box at £100 is a no brainer.
This is why i never hold the gearstick after changing gear unless im going to change from one gear to another pretty quick
@@VSTV1993 exactly. I cut my teeth in circuit racing & even now all these years later my hands are still in the ‘race position’ as you just never know when you’ll be put sideways. I had one bloke try to drive me off the road once-except I’m sort of used to that. Looking back I wish I had put him on his roof.
Only a few minutes in but can already tell it’s another great video cheers chaps!
Thank you 🙏
Great to see the new gear sorted the 'wibbly wobbly' old one, that was a good steer the viewers gave on that repair.
Its really nice that the salvage rebuilds family get together and give you their experience. Nice video, thanks.
Monday’s always get better when an new video from SR UK comes on ! Great job guys 👍👍
Cracking little van for someone. Chris was in his element with all that change on the go! Interested to know exactly how much he found during his little treasure hunt 🤣
Liked as always! Someone I know has a fleet of jiffy vans going round building sites etc, and he got a bit sick of Citroen suspension parts wearing out, so now buys the Toyotas, which are also slightly bigger. Great ride in a French van though. Looks like that one has a new lease of life due to you two 😀
Bought an 03 reg Berlingo at 12 months old. Used it for courier business for 8 years and hammered the nuts off it. bloody thing was indestructible! Recommend them all day long.
Good little van for someone, it will do a turn, saved by Rob and Chris, superb, always interesting seeing the progress
A lovely move to demystify how gear boxes do their magic; they are not black boxes never to be opened, after all. As long as you have the confidence, they can be fixed. What a great job, very sensible to stop and check every step before moving on to the next move. Great step by step record, of how to bring the van back to life and upgrade it to fully fettled. I loved the jackpot moment, digging out the cash. Having fun at work, what a great day.
Nice little van for someone.
Comline definitely helped you on this one an made it worthwhile for a vid 👍
The technical term for the selector fork ball bearing is a detent. A slightly undersize socket holding the ball in would make fitting the selector easier.
Watching this on holiday in Portugal can’t get enough guys
That's a cracking little van for the money, it's cleaned up lovely, and certainly doesn't look high miles. I like the coated brake discs. Chris has done alright, change wise! Lol! I used to use shoe scuff cover liquid on worn gaiters, just to tidy them up. It works a treat. Shame about the BMW, but it'll help lots more with parts. Top work. 👍
I tell you something it's not very often you see a couple of guys working together with such a good rapour as you guys. Total legends 🙂
got lucky there with that 5th gear.I have been watching some early videos from you guys and its amazing how Chris has grown into the Chanel
That was interesting, I had 5th gear go on my XTR and was told about tightening the nut without dropping the box out. I'm not a mechanic so phoned around a few places for quotes and came across a few scammers not interested in doing any work on the box but offered me a refurbed fitted one for £1500. I did find a honest garage who talked me through what they'd do, they did have to change the gear which they kept and showed me and it was exactly like the one in this vid, I was charged just under £400 and was well happy, the garage is now my go to for all work that's needed.
Lot of older manuals had that on last gear cos drivers used to rest their hand on the gear knob putting slight pressure on the selector and that tab, one you showed us, would wear!
Nice quick fix if you know what you are doing as you both obviously do! Great video thanks for sharing guys 👍🏼
Pat Butcher has been in that van at one point and left her earring behind. Lovely little van and I found it very interesting to see you two swap out fifth gear rather than just swap the whole box. Good job keeping it on the road it will go on for a good while yet.
Hello Rob and Chris, another great video and, ‘it was getting cheaper by the minute’.
How much was the money found total in the end?
Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Cracking result on the berlingo & it's come out looking great the bumpers look new excellent mini valete & great resale price someone will be extremely happy top work as always Rob & Chris 👍👍👍
The Salvage Rebuilds team done good again. Well done guys. Totally right not to do the bodywork....saves a dig into the profit and really isn't necessary for the kind of tradesperson who is going to buy it. Cheers, Bob
I put some comline discs on a few months back. They still look like brand new! Great products 👍
I can relate to Chris ,I worked at a garage quite a few years ago ,I was a valeter and the first thing I did when we got cars traded in was look for money under the seats !😄👍
Hello Rob and Chris,the results of the van are brilliant,with a mini valet done it looks alot better.it will make a great van for someone.
I am really getting to enjoy all those little baby cargo vans you guys are working on and returning to service. These guys are carving out a place on my car bucket list. Those things are cute and cuddly little guys. Silver color really looks good on this little guy. I normally don’t like hub caps (wheel trims) but on these little vans, they dress them up to be quite spiffy. I bet they are economical, light and nimble little town puddle jumpers. Not something we see much of here. The Nissan NV 200 and the old upright Ford Transit Connect’s are the closest equivalents we have here in the states. These shorty vans are not often seen here in the states.
I have the minivan version of the same and they really are cracking little motors. 50+ mpg on long trips, 45 around town and the load bed is 6'x4' with the back seats out so big enough to do proper work. Mine's converted into a micro camper because that's just about big enough to stick a bed in the back even. Sadly they aren't gonna make it to the states unless you guys repeal the chicken tax or a domestic manufacturer realises there's a market for them. Even the transit connects only made it to the states as a loophole where they sent them over as minivans then converted them back to cargo spec.
@@misterthegeoff9767 the chicken tax is not going away anytime soon. The politics of it is very very deeply imbedded in our congressional infrastructure to make any significant change to it. However, there is a bit of a loophole due the current USMCA (ex-NAFTA) agreements. They could be made in Canada or Mexico and sold in the US. Very much in the same way the Ram Promaster is made in Mexico and sold in the US.
Good little van at the end of it, think the price is fair given the current level of demand. Looking forward to the new project already!
You need to have a good long look at the returns made on that van - way, way better than most. Keep it coming please !
Nice job as always Gents. Solid little van that’ll do someone a good turn for not a lot of dollar. Another enjoyable watch.
Great video, easy for us amateurs to understand, and pleased Chris got a bit of shrapnel for his retirement fund.😅😅😅
Just fitted some comline disks and pads on my 13plate caddy, have to say I'm well impressed with the quality and price.. Would recommend
This has just saved someone a small fortune, as always fantastic content, always a pleasure to open your posts, and to be honest, I really look forward to the next one👍👍👍
The word you are looking for to describe the spring, ball bearing and groove is, I believe, a detent.
Selector wear often caused by drivers resting their hands on the gear lever, causing the selector to rub constantly and wear out. Keep hands on the steering wheel. Great vid guys.
mike harvey , here in Australia we
steer with our left hand & lean the
right on drivers side door , so there
is little chance the gear knob gets a
workout. ( abit like council workers
leaning on the shovels hahahaha)
@@charlieboyok Tried that once on a long drive down to the South of France. Spent the next week with a suntan on only one arm.
Rob is it true that you once dropped a pound coin and Chris reacted so quickly to grab it that it hit him on the back of the head? 😂
Great video once again and one of the best car channels on TH-cam. Keep up the terrific work chaps 👍
Cheap wee van rob 👍 it’s funny how Chris gets so excited when he’s finding change 😂 👍 👍
As described 👍, nice little van that will get someone out of trouble 🤓👍, nice job on 5th gear ⚙️👍
Hi rob and Chris, another great show, what a great wee van, from marty in Belfast northern Ireland God bless
Nice little cheapie , great result for you boys , really nice to see you doing well for yourselves
You both work hard and obviously have a great relationship
Long may it continue
Health wealth and happiness lads 😉
Nice one lads, Uber pleased that you have saved another one, rather interested in this for myself, but i imagine the demand will be off the charts, and the mileage is a little high, i will buy one off you one of theses days…. Crack on doin what you’re doin, the content of the channel is fantastic, can’t wait for Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays….. 👍
Great video, Rob and Chris, love your videos, many thanks
Hi from durham guys👋👍 great job on this one another quick flip to keep you going 👌 do someone well and nice to learn about 5th gear install👍and those mounts where shot like ""hanging like a picture "" hanging! "" thanks for your time guys be safe and see you soon👍👋
Absolutely outstanding video.! Top notch to your subscribers for leading you down the path of the gearbox repair. What a money saver and one for the learning file. Bloody good job 👍🏻
Another great video. Van looks alot tider than you make it out to be. Very tidy with the occasional knock and scratch which for 10 year old van with 150k+ isn't bad at all. And the technical term for those top mounts and 5th gear selector is 'fubar' haha
Definitely worth saving, proven itself to be a reliable and capable van.
What a superb video Rob and Chris!! Great to see the work being done out side on the yard, just as many of us would have done. Lovely fifth gear repair, how simple is that!! - it’s going to be a good sorted van for somebody no doubt about that. How many pennies / £ eventually went in the coffee fund? 😂🤣✊
Great informative video, love seeing Chris find the coins and very happy to see you’ll make a great return on this one, you both deserve it. A PDR guy would have that looking like a van with half the miles on it.
The Citroën van lives to fight another day !! Thanks to you guys, another cracking video !! Would love some clues to your next project ? A close up pic ?
Till the next video, take care guys !!!
Great job lads. Turned out great. I can totally understand Chris and the coin thing. I worked as a valetor in a rover main dealer many years ago. As I hoovered the vehicles I loved to hear the clang of coins going up the hoovers metal tube. I couldent wait to empty that hoover each evening at closing time. And if you took seats and centre console out that was a treasure trove!!. You never lose that little bit of excitement. Eh Chris??😅😅👍👍
Nice quick fix. Nice one guys. Know it will sell straight away.
Chris and his technical terms"wibbly wobbly" a cracking termonolgy :) :)
It's amazing you can repair that 5th gear so easily - thanks to your subscribers!! :)) Looking forward to the "mystery" project!
Detent is the thing in a gearbox that gives you the notches on the selector rods.
Best bit of the video is seeing how happy Chris is fishing money out, that’s a few more MCD coffees paid for.
Addictive viewing , love watching two guys at the top of their game
5pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays, beats any rubbish that’s on the telly!, another great video,cheers 👍👍👍
Brilliant video guys. Like you say, be a good little van to get someone out of trouble. Nice bit of courier work maybe. Great to watch you again. Really curious as to what the new project is already. Look out for a video I’ll send you fellas via Instagram just for your interest.
thankyou both,another great video,all the best.
Guys - use the coins (and earring?) you found towards a new heavy duty spring compressor set - they're only £20 or so.
Brilliant to see this van really get the 2nd lease of life, especially with the parts being cheap/free. Good to see the gearbox was relatively straightforward considering and it will give someone many years service now 🙂
Another great video that was really easy the change that 5th gear turned out nice little van 👍
Hi Rob and Chris, good days work, be a good work van for sure. Alex.
Great job Chris and Rob with little budget jou can save a lot of money , before the exit a bought commline part online in the uk met now its to expancife we pay import tax over the parts and shipping
Great job guys that little van will definitely help someone out , look forward to the next project
I expect you will be inundated with buyers for that van. It will serve somebody well for very little money. Excellent.
Hi Rob and Chris yet again what a great video thank you take care both 😌😌
Another one done and ready to give some more service as workhorse. As ever Chris makes sorting the gearbox look easy. Think you transformed that van and it will soon be on its way. Shame about the BMW but if the numbers don't add up it has to go!
What a handy fix on that geat box,will help a lot of people well done lads👍
Interesting to see that 5th gear repair, nice job gents!
Well done guys another great video and your getting up towards 250k subscribers which is well deserved 👍🏻🏴
Brilliant little van Rob and that’s bound to be in someone’s budget to use to earn a living for themselves. Fixing those little dings and scrapes would definitely be a waste of money as you could get as much damage in a week just doing deliveries in London for instance! Keep up the great work boys, and great to see Chris in such a good mood too, ( it’s marvellous what a couple of two pound coins can do! Ha ha!) 👍😊😎
Great to see you are replacing the essential parts why the previous owner and others skimp on basic maintenance blows my mind in the end how much did Chris find in change you never said
Great save by Rob !!
Chris could have had a nail somewhere that hurt while coin hunting.
Brilliant as always Gents.
Many thanks for your videos it’s always a pleasure to see you guys doing a great job and taking time out to do great content.
It has been especially good as I am recovering from a heart attack and your content makes my day a bit shinier 👍
Rob and Chris top work as usual not a bad little motor for its age and miles 😉 Chris must be losing his touch after nearly leaving those pound coins in well 👏 spotted rob .
Great little van. Suit someone who just starting out doing their own business. ❤️✌️👊
Another outstanding video guys,although it is a high millage vehicle it was an easy mend to the gearbox pads and disc replacement ect.Good lucrative profit too.As regards the white BMW,a very wise decision ln selling it to a breaker.One last thing Rob,you haven't crunched the numbers on this BMW.
Great video guys ,well worth that a tidy van ,love the gearbox fix good job 👍👍
Great snapshot of Chri's amazing knowledge and scavenging skills there Rob
Good Content on the Citroen Berlingo Van guys. The van is finished and ready to be back on the road. Amazing content Lads. See you on Wednesday.
Thnx for the update on the BMW 320i.
Excellent content again guys 👌
Cheap enough little van for someone with a full test too! Had to laugh at Chris fishing for money 😂 and was that what he disappeared off to do when the new project arrived 😂😂
Thanks for the update on the Beema 👍
Same issue with my van 5th works, but snatches and jumps when engaged. At least its an issue that can be dealt with 👍
Super work on the van and that should give a good few years of hassle free service to the new owner. Meanwhile Chris is obviously being paid sub-minimum wage for his efforts....scrabbling around for spare change - what's he like?!
Similar with vw caddys when low on gear box oil no 5th gear top it up and hey presto
Another cracking video. Chris must be a god on the grab machines 👍
Love the new music.. sounds like the new equalizer sound track.
Another top video boys
I used COMLINE products and they are really good quality and price :). Another nice little van :)
I love that saying, "it's been a 5th gear too long". As always a great show guys!!
The demand for those 5th gear sets has just created a ripple on the Dow Jones … 🤣
What an amazing little fix on the 5th Gear ⚙️ and I hope Chris found enough money for a pint 🍺 for you both as you deserve it for your hard work!
Great video as always, it does not matter what car etc or condition you two will sort it, wish I needed a van. 👍👍👍👍👍
