    Rob , I'm sure that your dog has had a very happy life , you and Claire are really good people, I feel for you and you and Claire need to spend as much time with him as you can
    Brilliant job that you and Chris did with that Volvo and you deserve every penny that you make out of it
    Can't wait to see what little jess Chris brought back from the auction the other day
    Love to Claire and you , and your little doggie too ❤

    Worth mentioning Rob . I have a xc60 with that 2.4 d engine. These suffer terribly with rising oil levels due to regeneration. I was told by my Volvo dealer that they no longer put the full 6ltrs or so of oil in these. They reduced it to 4.5 Ltrs as the cars could not go the full 12 months to the next service without change oil warning coming up on the dash.

    For a 62 plate diesel she is purring like she just came from the dealer. So quiet. Regardless of little prangs, that's an engine that'll take her into another 10 or more years. Well worth the money. Lovely job gentlemen, you got some salts of the Earth amongst you helping you out that's for sure.

    The start of the video was a precursor to another classic Rob and Chris show. Rob excited about what was Chris up tp etc and then the look on Chris's face, two friends enjoying each others company and getting the job done! It's secondary that the car actually started, Chris would've come up with another solution completely unflappable, but yesssss it was another gooddun! Yes I noted that the number crunching didn't happen but felt sure it would end being a bargain buy for some-one.Keep up the good work guys, great viewing!

    if you pour like most people with the bottle tall, theres no air flow, so it gulps air whilst dumping fluid, turn it sideways as you said you created a large void at the top of the bottle allowing the air and fluid to enter / exit in a controlled maner.
