Voice Overs during the timelapse really helps, Rob, well worth the extra time put in. 👍🎙

[danb]

Not sure why people give Rob a hard time in the comments. Without Rob there wouldn’t be any videos at the end of the day… think about it. It’s a partnership and he clearly does is fair share of the work. They play to each others strengths.

Another super job guys, @ the two minute past ten workshop😗. I like how you were enjoying you sarnie Rob and watching Chris getting on Rob 🤣. Enjoy the rest of your weekend guys...👍

[davecoleuk]

Well done Chris, YOU worked hard on that one.

[super]

Thanks for another great video, the vans looking good as all your repairs do. I think you are going to find all the parts prices are going to double if they haven't already, and more stuff will become unavailable even with pattern parts. I paid 6K for a non damaged 2010 F150 truck here in Canada a month ago, I did all the work in my spare workshop time to "MOT" it rebuilding brakes, some steering components, exhaust manifolds and a service with oil and coolant flushes. The parts bill is over 3K and some of that like park brake cables was hard to find in non OEM/spiteful when I did find them and this is a common truck sharing parts from about 09 to 2014. I valued that Truck at 10K before I started and i'm pretty well there and the insurance confirmed that's it's book value yesterday when I paid sales taxes on it. Anybody that bought it, and paid for the work I did was going to be 5K plus in the hole again. There was nothing in it realistically to buy and flip it, luckily I'm in it to keep it quiet a while. Take care guys.

Everybody needs a Chris in their life. Wish he was in mine. All the best. Mick.

Chris got cracking once again with the bodywork. I am pleased he managed to save the bonnet, one less panel to buy. He did a great job as always. The stickers came off quite easy which is great but as you said they have not been on there very long. Nice job Gents. If it were me I would do the airbag before the paint just so that it doesn't get knocked. Thanks Rob and Chris for another fine video, have a good weekend. 👍👍

[jamesallen]

Another van showing off Chris's skills on the bodywork. This ones going to be top notch when done.

[philtucker]

Rob I appreciate the problem with getting parts, the newer the vehicle the less chance of finding parts at the breakers. That puts you at the mercy of the rip-off dealers that we all have to shell out for when we get our cars serviced! Brilliant work by Chris as usual. 👏

[solpcb]

I have the same van but the Citroën dispatch psa equivalent & just like you the front end parts we're extortion ! I did however save on a rad pack from a grand Picasso as there the same, the lower rad support was from a 308 so there's alot of identical bits. The dash was a bit of a nightmare to fit as there's a big bar across the middle which will need undoing. Airbag module is right beneath the gear stick under the carpet I also had to solder a new connector to the driver airbag as it was burnt.

[Jumm]

I’ve a 2016 vxl Astra and since Vauxhall was taken over by PSA the price of service parts is astronomical. A service on the Astra was more than my Audi.
Brilliant work again guys.

[simonbailey]

Rob, I’m sure the voiceovers on the timelapse add work for you, but they massively improve the content. Nice one lads.

[philipallen]

Thanks for the video. Maybe interesting to look into getting some spay foam insulation on the workshop roof to keep it more habitable for you guys.

Nice job Chris ! Hard to believe that Peugeot parts are more expensive than Mercedes as always doing a good repair take care Chris and rob see you on the next video

[jamescapon]

I can see why my Peugeot Expert got written off 2 years ago on the M25. I was hit by a Jag when stationary and pushed to wards a van in front of me. So I steered it into the barrier to miss it. The Jag had lifted the back of the van and was pushing me along on the spare wheel.

[stevenjones-mi]

Brilliant progress both, it looks so much better.Chris has done a great job on the bonnet.the decals seem to come off with a bit of work.

[chrisstyles]

Absolutely fantastic work & chris never fails to make panels look brand new im always amazed how good he makes them look look forward to seeing the next video 👍👍👍👍

[PaulHeriot]

Hi Rob, Paul from Australia here, you two blokes do a fantastic job, you make wheeler dealers look like complete amateurs, I actually don’t mind the Timelapse because it shows that you actually do the work and not a team of ten men, keep the videos coming I’m really enjoying them 👍

[vernonmatthews]

Thanks Rob for your narration & time lapse of the refurb of the Peugeot van. Loved the attention to detail and flexibility of Chris working around your filming 🎥 👌
Interesting you sourced parts from 🇪🇸 Spain.
A wise and prudent approach to conquering that huge price difference between Mercedes & Peugeot.
Van looks so tidy with signwriting being de -stickered.
Look forward to it coming back from paintshop ready for airbag kit reinstatement 😊

[johnmehaffey]

Holy whatever rob had to rewind when you said the price of the alternator, what on earth makes it so expensive, got the grass cut this morning and I’ve been waiting patiently for this post, great work as ever guys
