We tackle the first of the ex fleet Transit trucks. Is it straight forward or have we bought a load of headaches?

You gonna convert one into a ULEZ compliant recovery van for yourself?
Great video once again lads, looking forward to seeing all these vans being worked on 😉
Would be awesome if your mate would let you film the transformation into the recovery truck. Would love to watch that 👍🏻
As usual, great video chaps. Wondered, where did Chris get his boots from? Fancy a pair for myself 🙂
Great content as always
Nice pickup guys and cheep 💯👍👍👍
"8:25" yeah "Porkies" 😂❤
Those guys down at the car wash work like Trojans. They always add more to a vehicle's worth than they charge.
another cracking video guys and thats a nice little profit you got and can't wait to see what your going to do to the rest of them trucks you still have looking forward to seeing what's next on the channel keep them coming guys 👍👍👍👍💯💯💯💯
Rob remember to swap the lock barrels over
You guys are so decent, asking bargain prices, doing great work, and entertaining us. Why do I get the impression Rob's missus doesn't like stinky wet van seats in the house? 😅
Hi rob if the other garage said they had the manifold off and new gaskets and it looks like its never been done it makes u wonder if they have changed the wet belt and charged the customer for it great video as usual guys
Where's the joke part gone 🤔🤔🤔🤣🤣🤣🤣 fantastic video though
Nice one lads 🇮🇪
NICE
Well done guys very nice van 😊😊😊😊
I used a dehumidifier to dry my car out after we all got soaked on a day out did a great job.
Great turn around guys….. are you going to share how much you got for the 17 truck that’ll be made a recovery? Love the vids as always
Used to run mixed fleet of trannies, York & Kent engines + a few v6 petrols, they were bulletproof engines for sure.
Halfords do an upholstery spray which is brilliant and won’t break down the sponge over time like water will
Just seen your videos since you hit just over 100k and in the last few days recently started watching them again. What was a huge surprise is Chris being on camera I know previously he didn’t want to be on camera being on camera/ social media isn’t for everyone but it’s great to see and he comes across very well on camera he’s doing a fab job.
Del Boy ….at 10:36 😊
Good video
How expensive are ford parts
Transits look good such a shame the engineering in them is so poor
Good vid
I'd be interested to hear how VAT affects your business and how it is payable on a truck but you have not said anything when you've had other work vans. It will also be interesting to hear how much you make out of the whole 'fleet' when the last one has gone. Good content, thanks.
another great video, enjoyed that one
First start sounded like an old grey Fergie, second souded like a Transit, if the previous owners are watching this they'll not be using that garage again.
Great video contact guys as always. 👍👍👍👍
Well done Gents. Pricing is very reasonable. Great motor for a small business.
Great video gents- liking your professionalism!
I work for an auction site we specialise in vans and we sell these things with this mileage and condition for £8K+vat all day long, someones getting a bargain 👍
Rob – If You make sure to give us an update on what You guys did with the other not video'd vans I'm sure that would keep us all happy 😀
Quick turn around, in and out, well done👍👍👍👍
Did you say tanar bridge? You mean Tamar bridge rob 😂
I hope the sellers watching the channel so they get them selves another garage to work on their fleet. The work is shocking.goid video.
When you arrived at the total, you forgot to deduct the amount of loose change Chris found in it at the start.
Do you want to sell a couple 😊
I would be happy to watch all transits or as many as it suited you to do videos on
Great video
Thanks
Guys
Love this content Guys….cheers
All Transits wear the outer edge on the passenger side tyre.
No matter how many times you get the wheel alingment done, it will still wear down the outer tyre edge first.
A customer of mine would call me out a few months after fitting a new tyre for him, to turn the tyre around on the rim to get even wear on the tyre!
Really fascinating, 1st timer have subbed.
this'd go for 15kusd
Always enjoy the decency of these lads – and their ability. Can’t help finding myself hearing Pete Cook and Dudley Moore. Sorry.
The thing with Robbing a Van for Bits and Charging Yourself an Estimate for that Bit is that you may want to Fix the Van that you have Robbed from for a Sale and as you Add the Bits back onto that Van that was Previous Robbed you will be Charging Yourself Twice for the same Bit.
9:28 nice nose
Sounds like the bottom end is about to fall out
To be fair might be no harm to tell the place u bought them trucks off to find a new garage ….
