Finding a decent MOT station is a rare and beautiful thing.
So many of them these days have completely lost sight of the original purpose of the MOT ie. to ensure a vehicle is safe to drive on the roads and instead treat it as an excuse to find the most nitpicky pettifogging reasons to find something wrong.
A vehicle isn't "unroadworthy" just because it's got a dirty numberplate. Although it may be "unspeedcameraworthy"
Another brilliant video. It's good that you are telling people about businesses that are good and trustworthy.
Great to see you promoting a local company.👍
Another episode from 6D, what better way to end the day….. Al, you have a knack of being able to bring life to old motors, keep it up!
You got to be on the ball watching the tail swing on the back of that recovery 😊
Absolutely love this channel great work Al your a star my friend 👍
Man is selling treasure 🤗👍🇮🇪
20k now boys... Hats off to you, this is a great channel.
Cheers fella 👍
Yeah put the visor and lights on the green sprinter . You can always take it off at another time
Audi TT rebuild - yes please.
Love your stupidity and humour, I'd be keeping the Sprinter as is because it could start to look like a fairground owners chariot in no time 😂
Daisy bell will make someone a great camper fudgys capri takin shape great video al
Great work Al 👏
Yes please re the TT👍🏻
6 D DIESELS IS THE BEST PROGRAM ON TH-cam. THANKS FOR SHARING AND KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK. FROM TERRY AND HAZEL IN THE UK.
Cheers guys and thank you for the support 👍
Brilliant work again put what you think suits you stick it on temp and see if you like it ,
the truck looks a 100/10% as you and Fudge always do thanks for the up date about the garage .
They're asking $30,000 USD for nice examples of these in the US. Some of them are 50 years old with 200,000 miles on them, but the Tech Hipsters still pay it.
That was a job well done looks fabulous thanks for the video
Another good update
You always put out great videos Al 😁😁
Visor 🎉 and hows about a nudge bar ? 😂
AL well interested in the TT when you get round to it 👌
A man finishes his truck and it's all lighty, lighty. I personally would have liked LED headlights in it as the LED's make Halogen's look like glow worms. Anyway, the Capri is coming along nicely and the VW camper is lovely and at around £17,000 would be ideal for most people, I prefer the BIG VW camper/dampervan that hopefully you and Fudge will finish soon.😁👍👍
4250 for that LT35, given the condition, is a very very fair price. I'm sure you'll sell it no problem.
Put the visor on Al
Great video pal love the fact you get these Motors back on the road, the old ones are so much better than all this new shit they are making! Until next time. 🤙
With the price of new vehicles to day you have to keep older cars and vans on the road for as long as possible keep the videos coming 👍
what no uncle albert just del boy lol
Good Vid Al , I like your new car/truck lift , I was keen on buying your 2 post one , but I’ve only got single phase electricity and live in northern Spain 😒👍🏻
With them mobile lifts on hand in place of the fixed ones, it certainly looks so much better with the floorspace, though, don't be tempted to fill it up with more projects, could be back to square one again... :P
Those lifts are fab, you are like Colombo with your one more thing end of videos 😂😂
Cracking al
Daisy Bell is indeed a beauty. Probably one of the best examples still on the road and fortunately with a solid roof.
The recovery truck is looking great. Yeah go all out and put the sun visor on. Have a good week. Marc from Australia 🇦🇺
Fudgy is takin over with capri posters, more merc banners etc required
I so look forward to your videos, another brilliant addition..!, leave the recovery truck as is no need for anything else. 🙏🏻
Another brilliant video Al. Would love to see the TT finished. Please get Fudge to show us around the capri, it looks amazing. Cheers 🍻👊🏻👊🏻
Love those OM602 5 pot engines, they sound lovely and pull like a train, best Mercedes engine ever produced and last virtually for ever, used to sell them new back in the day, they would do 500k plus miles all day long and not break down like the more modern junk!😊
Workshop looks loads better with the two ramps out of the way and you now using those mobile ramps
Sprinter recovery truck looks superb Al. Looks pretty good lit up at night. Those new lift towers are impressive. Liking the ideas going into your projects that you enjoy doing. I'm for supporting the channel now things are taking off.
Great vid again. Those portable ramps look really useful.
Al, the tipper project sounds great pal looking forward to seeing you and fudge tackle that.
WOW the VW camper is a great price, really interesting video
hope no other driver gets to see that G B sign up close or they will defo be in trouble lol, al & fudge keep the great videos coming love them.
I totally get that Al opening the join button up. It Will help with fund's. TH-cam don't pay that much just on ad's alone. Don't you just love that when someone says dont rev a cold Engine 😂😂. Happens to me all the time
Recovery truck looks great now, I hate those sun visors so for me it’s a no. Looking forward to the next ones Al 👍🏼
I fancy a set of those lifts for the workshop. Much better use of space as they can be put almost anywhere. When I served my apprenticeship in the bus garage we used to lift double deckers with them ... That was a scary sight 🤣
Need a big set of stones to get underneath a double decker 😮
Bet it's been never-ending
Another great video has always al and fudgy 👍
I think leave the Recovery truck classic. Love the 4.6 idea too, how cool to have so much treasure
If you need someone to drive the TT to the South of France Al, let me know 😁
i had a 312d recovery truck bloody loved it thing would pull anything just died one day on me would tick over but try rev it smoked and wouldnt go above 1.5 rpm no one could fix it wish i new you thing went gambia
No leave it all it looks good as it is the van with out visor ..
Cant beat the the sound of a 5cyl. Loved my 310 went like stink
Best vans ever made. I wish I kept my 308d mwb instead of upgrading to a 311cdi 4x4. You've done another amazing job again.
Great video again Al keep them up, don't think you need the sunvisor on the the recovery truck.
Ref the sunvisor : I am often hired by companies in an advisory capacity so my advice is add-visor
Nice vice grip garages shoutout at the end! Great channel
Great vid as always Al bling up the sprinter recovery truck 🎉
So many projects 👍
I drove them all from new back in the day 310 312 316 2.7 and LT 35 2.5 medium and long wheelbases when i was working for a transport company in holland. I made a lot off miles in those vans. Now i own a LT46 2.5 myself wich i convert in to a campervan and simply love that van. But the mk1 Sprinter with the mighty 2.9 is for me the one.
Such great memories loved every mile with those vans and still miss them. Love your channel and also very informative you have so much knowledge about those vans. Both Sprinters and LT.s great great channel you have. Greetings from a big fan 👍
I think i am 6D diesels number 1 fan 😎
Good Morning Al. I Hope that Fudgy is alright and feeling Positive. Life can have it's ups and downs. He does have Yourself as his Support and a very Good Friend Al. It really so Incredible to see the Progress with your Amasing Projects. 6Diesels just gets so much Better Quality and with it's video's. Each vehicle does it's own Character and is given a second chance, to be Restored and to be put back on the road again. Excellent work you have done Al, with the green Recovery Vehicle. I really like it's brand new Lights that you have Installed Professionally. She did Well passing her M.O.T. What a Beautiful example a Camper Van/ Mini Bus. Stunning Interiour, Bodywork colour is really Lovely. Her Engine sounds really Good. She would make a Good Holiday Touring Vehicle, for her new owner. That is a Good price to sell her for. She will not have a problem, finding a Buyer for her. Daisy Belle is Absolutely Stunning and Gorgeous. Fudgy, is doing Extremely Well with his Rare Capri Project, it will look absolutely Stunning. Very Well Done to him and his Superb Restoration Skill and Quality. Thank you very much Al. Give my Regards to Fudgy when you see him. Tell him from me, Things will get Better and please do Not worry. You are doing Great my Friend. Thank you very much Al for Sharing your Excellent video. Big Respect to You and Fudgy. Jonathan.
Great video mate, recovery truck looks the business.
Brilliant video Al the recovery truck is looking great
Yes sun visor plus bonnet screen
Nice one Al
Makes sense why you got shot of your 4 post ramp , nice commercial lift Ali
Cheers fella it does open the place right up 👍
Tidy tin top westie, I’ve got a 68, £16k is a reasonable price for it.
Al, driving up to the mot station , it looked like the speedo cable wasn’t working 😂
It’s electronic and it’s works perfectly 👍
Top video al be carefull spraying waxoil when painting other cars years ago we had a load of furniture we was spraying reacht had to be all redone we couldn't find out what was causing the reaction until we noticed a cleaner spraying counters down with pledge wax . Top job on the recovery defenlaty needs a nice visor
for safety ...some lights on the front... When recovering...
Love all the videos al n fudge keep up the good work top quality lads

Brilliant video Al keep it up great work guys

Another great video guys keep them coming
oppps...no smoking in "works" vehicle!
Well just be ignoring that ruling ….
Nice video and good work as always x
Busy as a one armed bandit 👍
Can you successfully ‘tune’ or remap a 2017 lwb 314 without any consiquences ??
very good video 👍😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
Very Very Very nice Mercedes indeed another great video 😅
Lt for life xx
Of I lived closer ...I would see if you can get my Passat B 5/5.back in the road. Been sorn...since pancreas decided today itslef..lol...
What’s the crack with the 05 I’ve o the to your right at the end Al?? Loving the videos mate, can’t wait to take a membership 😊
Most of them are parts wagon or acting as a shed 👍
@@6DDIESELSDorset ahhh fair enough :) how’s trigger btw
Working perfectly thank god 👍
Great video Al, what’s happening with the Citroen XM?
Mrs D could drive that one to the festival of the unexceptional 😅
Hey al would a raffle for your new project be an option? A lot of TH-cam channels do it ???
Never really considered it fella 👍
it's a shame you can't change the B to another T on the recovery truck reg 😂😂
What an unfortunate numberplate!
Have I missed a video on rebuilding the Vito camper swap over?
Nope they’ve had a few financial problems (unexpected and not a problem) so it’s all on hold at current 👍
No sun visor needed !
is it possible to get the shield under the engine for the w901/w903 anymore ?
Don’t know if you can buy new ones, they came with two sump guards normally missing
You may need a recovery truck to follow you to the festival ! Which buzzweld product are you using as there a few choices ?
It’s there chassis wax and no!! I’ve got a 309 turbo D as support wagon lol
Great video Al as always!! That recovery truck looks and sounds good. I do like the VW camper. Also a question, do you still have the van that had crane mounted on it? Just finished watching that video this week.
That is the new recovery truck fella, original plan was a quick fix !!! lol two years later … 👍
@@6DDIESELSDorset Was meaning if you still had the van with the cherry picker. th-cam.com/video/R9jPub2K9cc/w-d-xo.htmlfeature=shared
Here's a comment Al. 😊
Brill vid
Don't put a tipper body on it just put the hiab 011 on it it will sell better 6d diesels
1:02 Not to be confused with a Porsche gearbox!! 😂😂
Keep sprinter as is.buy a personalised plate instead
Years ago I learned the really flash wonga’d up lads had a old commercial in perfect working order all be it cosmetically challenged with a reg that’s worth as much as a decent Roller or Aston Martin .
It’s a total P take
Said lads being older as in when the van was new they were young uns
Is the recovery truck a 5-cylinder or 4 cylinder it sounds nice when you give it the beans are you going to tart the wheels up
5 fella 👍
Is the same engine they put in the big Audis Love a 5 cylinder diesel sound especially when you give it some stick 👍
