    I thought you'd added sound effects of an old cash register when you gave the asking price for the van but, it was just Chris in the background on the impact wrench. Haha. :) Perfect timing though. :)

    Came across your channel by accident a few weeks back & have been busily binge watching.
    Last weekend I attempted my very first cam belt, water pump & all the filters service thanks to your videos. Granted it was a bit nerve-racking the fist time I turned the key but all was fine.
    Thanks guys, you've just saved me a £100's.
    Keep up the good work fella's.
