I'm assuming that if you know your way around heavy machinery and you get your hands on a broken down one for cheap its probably not all that difficult.

I’ve got to say that for a 12 minute 45 second video, reading all of the comments has been the funniest hour I’ve spent in a long time. Just glad to see you finally admitted it’s a Micra 😂😂😂
So I’m kinda on the edge on becoming a reme mechanic but this video definitely pushed me off it. Driving and working on tanks just seems like an absolute dream job
Awesome video. Soon as you can get the whole of the shop interior sprayed with foam insulation. Will be so cold otherwise unless you have an oil fire or something,but still get cold.ThankQ.TkEZ

Jesus the amount of people that dont understand the whole 'M1 Abrams' joke....... like do you people think a bloke who works on tanks doesnt even know what its called?
Can people please stop calling that thing an Abrams? It's a Chieftain. The Chieftain is already an awesome tank, completely worthy of respect and what not without doing the equivalent of stolen valor and calling it something else. The Chieftain doesn't need to steal good the M1's good reputation. It was already the king of it's own era of the Cold War.
@@Tattletale-Delta I googled whistlin diesel Abrams and Google agrees this is indeed a whistlin diesel Abrams tank. I don't even need to use my eyes 😂😂, I just know what Google tells me is true 🤣. Nice chieftain though..at 70 tons, is a beast, unlike Eddie 'the beast' Hall's mini me APC 'tank'. Tbh, I think he really wants to get an Abrams, especially when he promised to get a Bugatti Chiron when he hits 10m followers; at $1m, an Abrams is affordable compared to an in warranty Chiron.
what do you think these brit tanks were like for the troops, they don't seem terribly reliable - even a bit skitterish. if you were relying on them for your life, well it doesn't really bear thinking of.
@@subsnovideos-mk8du in diesel's video there were a couple of jokes made in which they called the cent a abrams, the publisher of this video was attempting to make a follow up joke but unfortunately a small minority of people like yourself didn't seem to catch this
Why don’t you have a small charger like 1600 ma and leave them connected during your cold weather, that way you won’t get dead batteries and they are cheap you just need lots of extension leads and time.
Yes it is a 12 piston, 6 cylinder, 2 stroke diesel. Sounds great but had reliability problems. Made a lot of, usually unwanted, smoke too. Is it normal for this version nit to have the "smoke box" above the gearbox?
The Cheiftain has to have one of the best engine sounds! 👌🤤
its 2 stroke diesel im pretty sure they always sound good
6 bore 12 cylinder I'm led to understand
@@ferventheat Opposed piston
Same for that mean growling of a Leopard 2....immense bass 4tw
Opposed piston 2stroke diesel the Deltic is better as it's morrer
The Chieftain is such a beautiful tank.
Just like the centurion, it looks absolutely perfect. From the turret, the hull the tracks
I was just thinking that
@@F4Wildcat I prefer the Vickers Mk.1 over the centurion but still another great tank.
only real problem it has is the engine, that leyland is so unreliable atleast on the early models
And a pleasure to serve on,as long as you had a good engine

Abrams that pal
The joke --->
You 👁👄👁
Actually, that's incorrect. There is a guy in Texas who has one. When he got it the turbine was blown up, he had to rebuild it at a cost of $270,000
Yes you can
how does one get into restoring tanks? very interesting and niche content tho, i like.

By chance you done have any German Leopard 2A7 laying around? Really looking to get into this Tank stuff😎
Not at the moment
Australian gov has about 100, parked up never used. Rght next door to the unused Abrams
That is not high, I used lifts to 220ft in my job. Addicted to your videos . Loads of stuff on cars, but Tanks, Tanks are cool, keep up the ace work!
I presume lots of lads from the BAOR are getting flashbacks about starting Chieftains in German winters
What a beast. I build a Chieftain tank model when I was a teenager. Tamiya in 1/35 scale.
I have that same model on my shelf I'm going to make another in Berlin brigade cammo. Great model

I did 12 year's in the REME as a vehicle electrician very happy days spent on salta training area or bombing round West Germany in a samson .

You need to insulate the walls & ceiling in your workshops one day.
In my own opinion chieftan still is the sexiest sounding diesel ever for a tank
💯
Cody has the best tank amongst any TH-camr
Cold weather starting tip from a Canadian, run a hair dryer down the air intake for a few minutes, then hit the starter 👍
Love this series. Keep up the good work.
This is one very lucky man, having iconic tanks and in good conditions too

So sick 😍. And that sound 👌

BL L60 Bus Engine put into the Chieftain MBT, it was under so much stress that it always broke down.

And he'll wreck it and then it will just sit and deteriorate when he gets bored with it, which will be a huge shame.....

Does that chieftain not have a GUE/donkey engine. If it does why not start that and use it to do a main engine start?
It didn’t have one
@@MrHewes thank you, I only ask as, when, I was a very young soldier. If I did a cold main engine start and found out I would be in the poo!

Will improve starting.
Good sound!
Looks like your pampering the luxie...
Id love a centurion. Such a good looking tank.
Chieftain
so is the tank going in a shipping container stripped down or as a hole just lifted onto the ships deck?
Most likely a specialist roll on roll off ship.
Container ships aren't suitable for one off items.
I hate it when I can’t cold start my tanks. It’s annoying.
When desert camo is all it takes to mistake something for an abrams
I bet he ends up putting monster Max's body on that.
Stick some veg oil in there shell be grand
I dont see an M1 in this video
I'd love to own a tank like that. The engine sounds incredible. How much do good condition tank cost? Can you drive that on the roads?
Subbed for the t34
How come you don't use the GUE before starting the Main Engine? Just a matter of interest.
Because there isn’t a GUE in this Vehicle
Does your fuel ever gel over the pond
M1 abrams gas turbine engine not a diesel. But it can use diesel fuel.
Just to clarify, this is not a M1 Abrams. It's an Chieftain tank from the UK.
