Watched new wheeler dealers (without Ed) and thought my god, the quality on TH-cam is better than the so-called TV. You guys need to be on the Box soon
@@priteshchampaneri5101 The quality the two boys put into the TH-cam, trumps most new programmes on the TV. There is a reason why nobody watched TV anymore 😂
I agree watching Rob and Chris is much better, but wouldn't want to see them on TV with a director and crew telling them what to do and say. Telling Rob to cut the waffle. It would kill the reason we watch these guys - 100% genuine characters and real life content!
Rob, apart from dribbling some oil into the low compression cylinder, the only other quick investigation you could do would be a leak-down on the problem cylinder just to see where the air comes out - induction system/exhaust system or crank breather for problems with inlet valve, exhaust valve or rings/piston.
I spend 6 years working at mini in oxford. 3 in paint and 3 assembly. Fluid fill breaks and air con was my main job. They are bad cars but not the worst I’ve seen! Love the channel ❤️
Glad to hear Chris is on the mend I'm so impatient at this point of diagnosing a fault cant wait till you've got the head of to see what's going on in there
Must be strange in the workshop without Chris, when you're working with someone for so long you form a working partnership and spur each other on, you two make a cracking team, I really enjoy the videos and I've not forgotten about the Mercedes, hows that doing. Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing Chris back next week and the workshop will be back and buzzing.
I'd love to work with use would learn so much and no short cuts hate working on my own aswell it's nice to have someone to chat to through out the day keep videos going and content is s cracker love it
Good to have an update on the Mini. Going to be more labour intensive that some of the body repairs you have done so looking forward to the next installment and seeing Chris back too.
Great news about Chris - great video of investigations on the Mini. Don’t put your self down Rob it must be tremendously hard doing it all on your own! Thanks for keeping us all entertained and informed. 👍
Just found your channel last month and it great remains me of year again got rushing to newsagents to get my copy of car mecane will be watching all your old ones
Nice to see rob keep it up as it gives me and no doubt all the other subscribers so much of interest to look forward to hopefully see the magician Chris back next week
Hi Rob. So it's Henry 8th time again by the looks of it..." Off with her head, off with her head" 🤣🤣🤣 Hope it turns out to be something simple, Cheers, Bob
Great to see the Mini making an appearance. Another great session, thanks for all your efforts, all the best to you and Chris, stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏼🙂
Rob as a relative newcomer to your channel just wanted to say I’m hooked 😁 and I’m currently working through all your past videos and car rebuilds. Looking forward to future projects 👍👍
Good camera for white teeth Rob 🤣🤣🤣better then the BBC. I have MS can't get out much & have to stay in bed a lot. I look forward to your videos helps keep me entertained they are so good your personality makes them better then all the rest trying to make these types of videos. They help me a lot thank you. All the best hope you never stop.
Chris your boys doing good, channels on the up. Get yourself well, there's no rush. Rob, time to get involved and get some waffle down you son, sounds like the mini's going to turn in to a maxi job. Looking forward to the next installment. Keep well, stay safe, and carry on.
Loads of expert comments on here .. lets hope its as easy as piston seals mate .. have you the gas kit for the rad expansion tank too ..see if its the head or not .. keep em comming Rob top channel .. welcome back Chris with a big mug of tea !!!
Really Great news Chris is returning Back !!! I think you have achieved a lot on your own, hip hip hooray for once again sharing great content in your videos.
Absolutely love the r56 minis . Had one of these as my first car so they’re quite sentimental. Nice to see you’re working on this. Might get another one again 🤔. Good luck on the working this one out.
Without doubt it'll get fixed to live again and when it does it will be a nice motor. Buzzing that Chris will be back next week and can't wait to see what other project you've got coming! Appreciate the work to give us something to look forward to 3x a week!
Good news about Chris. Great video Rob. Worked with a lad for two years, for two weeks after he left I realised I’d bought three brews he was never going to drink 🤪🤪
Rob, you'll find out whats wrong and I have no doubt that you will fix it as well and me for one will keep watching - It's great to hear Chris is getting better !!
My monies on a cracked piston, I’ve just rebuilt a John Cooper Works that had a really good blown piston, and got 2 Cooper S convertibles sat on the drive, one with a snapped chain, one with a slipped chain! Great engines these PSA lumps 😁
Another top quality video and has a nice twist in investigating the problem which leaves me guessing in my head what I think it might be hehe makes u involved, also never understand why any one would dislike a video especially when it's 1st class vid as always
Rob, you're the only guy I know who can work in a garage with clean white trainers and come out spotlessly clean. Whats your secret?? Lol. Get that head off , all will be revealed .👍😎
Your clock has stopped on the wall 😆 top upload again 👍👍😎😎
It’s never worked bud 👍
@@sruk that shows how observant I am then 🤣 I've been watching you for nearly 2 years and I've only just noticed 🤣🤣
Do a video on fixing the clock Rob 😂
Omg me too watching years and just noticed the clock 😂😂😂

I agree. Can't stand the new WD. Much prefer watching Rob and Chris.

@@markf4720 very true
The last 6 months I've been addicted to you tube , the standard this Channel churns out and others is far better than anything on tv .
I’m my opinion one of the best car TH-cam channels about. Keep it up buddy.
I agree!
Bring back the old BMC A/B series engines good luck great content Rob.
Best wishes to Chris, looking forward to his return as I'm sure you are Rob.
Best wishes to Chris, Looking forward to his return as I’m sure you are
Best wishes to you both Chap, loving the uploads ! Keep on keeping on.

Great video mate, love seeing these problem solving episodes! 👍🏻
very interesting Rob the compression testing - I had not seen it done before. hope we can cure this mini
10: 38 - such a great time to have a clock stuck at: either the pub's still open or it's not too late to get a McDs breakfast...
Should fix the clock so we can measure the progress against the fast play video
Great video mate looking forward to Chris coming back and both of you getting involved 🔧
Rob, you're the only guy I know who can work in a garage with clean white trainers and come out spotlessly clean. Whats your secret?? Lol. Get that head off , all will be revealed .👍😎
All the best to Chris, I said it before but that car will sell no problem, it’s a stunning colour and model. Take care 🏴😷
Look forward to Chris returning. Best of luck with the R56, great driving cars when they are running well.
Good luck with your appointment and hope your appointment goes ok
