Rob, Chris, I appreciate that it's not to everyone's taste, however the mix of content which you are now publishing is incredibly insightful and informative. Good to see you've passed through 148k subscribers too! Here's to 150k and beyond.
Rob & Chris that was just the sort of content I love to watch, a little bit detailed with explanations, showing the hard work that goes in and then the result! This is why the content you are producing will be the future of Car/Vehicle viewing for me and I think a lot of other people, I get this up on my TV and its way better than Top Gear etc!
The clowns I work for are always telling me about book time for doing a job. . This video shows just how much work is involved in a clutch . One cross threaded bolt can throw a real spanner in the works . I much prefer your work style to dealer life . Time I was retired so I can just watch you lot .
The clutch plate assembly is much bigger than I thought, great job guys that was one cramped engine bay area, once again working together like a synchronized tag team, you got the job done ✅.
Good job chaps. I, too, am not a lover of clutch replacements. They always seem so fiddly on modern cars. Now changing one on a Morris Marina or Hillman Hunter, no problem.
Another Great video chaps and how lucky you are to be able to work in sync with each other knowing the job is done right. In 40 years of had a few guys and it makes for good working days and the banter :)
well done lads, took me and me mate all day to do a clutch on my car too, not easy, even with a lift, mind you, kevin williams makes it look easy, doing them on the floor, great video lads.
Well done boys 👍 Looked like a tough day 😅 Should be a nice little bunsen when its finished though. From the little I saw it looked like it drives well enough and will scrub 🧽 up lovely 💎 Thanks again for all your efforts I know I speak for nearly all the folk on here when I say that we really appreciate all your hard work - really helps in the times we’re in at the moment 😷 🌍 Warmest wishes from South Wales 🏴 - Jonathan 😊 👍
Great job, I find it easier to drop the engine & box out as one as they are so tight these days, plus most cars now don't have strong inner wings to use a support bar. I remember the Mk1 astra clutch, you removed a cover off the end of the gearbox and used a slide hammer to slide the imput shaft clear of the clutch, removed the cover from the Bell housing installed 3 clips that held the pressure plate to the clutch plate undo the retaining bolts and the clutch came out the bottom, you could replace the clutch in half an hour. They stopped using this system as the clutches didn't last long, but still a brilliant system
I remember watching a mechanic putting in a gearbox after a clutch change and it was a pig to get in and he ended up with the gearbox lying on his chest as he had difficulty getting it to go back in and I said why don’t you use the jack to help but he said that this was the way he always did it and he was going to do it his way, now I know why most of the mechanics I know are barrel chested and forearms like popeye, great post rob looking forward to seeing the next one
Video on a Thursday! After a surprise Tuesday video means you're definitely spoiling us but the more the merrier! Managed to find a great little camera angle for the pressure plate. Hats off! Awesome work lads!
You should do a side-by-side comparison with your Combo to show how far these small vans have come on in such a short time. Can't wait until Christmas as I believe Santa has got me that Sealey ratchet :)
Great video again, got caught a few years ago with the wife’s Toyota avensis, clutch went, new clutch in, no engagement, turned out the cars assembled in Japan were different than those assembled in uk, even though same year/engine. Clutch was 3 mil different, but you could only tell when in and bolted down, with a vernier, otherwise on the bench they were identical, 3 times that gearbox came out and went in, will never forget it 😀😀🇮🇪
When I was wrenching, standard operating procedure for doing anything heavy on the gearbox or engine meant dropping the subframe. Makes access much easier.
I think the clutch looked pretty good but still needs binning I was watching you slide around on the concrete floor I have pieces of cor flute that I stick on the concrete floor and I slide around on that and It’s keeps you off that cold floor and it makes it easy to slide in and out from under the car Good work as usual Saved another one 👍👍😍😍
Well done gents looks like you've scored with this one, even though it was a bit of pig to do the clutch on this van. Should hopefully be returning you guys a profit soon. Keep up the good work.
The actual fix on the clutch minutes , the strip down and rebuild a day . I remember doing clutches in the 70s on 1100s , minis etc hour and a half tops 🤣. Great video as usual guys , well earned glass of wine tonight .
A great video Rob and Chris that didn't look easy with access so difficult. We have been spoilt this week with the number of videos you have put out! Really appreciate the variety this week.
what a cracking van for someone, started on the button, that takes me back to trying to do a clutch on the drive and about as much fun !! well done guys another great video
Hi Rob & Chris, great video, informative and nice to see you guys working hard whilst we chill and watch you lol, seriously, your video's are a godsend in these times, look forward to them. Cheers, Alex.
So happy when I seen the notification on a Thursday could wait to get in to watch it loved it lads it must have been hard if you’s had to struggle but none the less a cracking job as usual 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
4 роки тому
No crunching, sounds good,give that a good clean up and youll get a good wedge for that,well done guys
Phew! that looks a lot easier than a Fiesta 1.6 diesel I once did, what a pig! You lads are lucky, I have to work alone and that can be very testing when it comes to lifting the gearbox back in.
You guys make it look easy! You are right about the Sealey Rachet, bought it for hubby for early birthday but I love it 😍 even got a set of 3/8 deep and shallow sockets 😎
Great work Rob. That's driver abuse there probably- sitting at traffic lights with his foot on the clutch, eventually wore out the release bearing, drove it until it shattered.
Can we help to get Chris to wear a Salvage Rebuilds jacket ? ;) Great work guys and always with attention to the small details makes very enjoyable viewing !
I really dont know how i found this tube. But i am captivated by your motivation and honesty. Well done. ....by the way do you happen to know the whereabouts of a Mr. Arthur Daley?
You both work hard , no messing about just get in and get out. I don't miss a video. Keep it up lads.

Book times are what you charged your customers on if a mechanic doesn't meet them it's a loss
The clutch plate assembly is much bigger than I thought, great job guys that was one cramped engine bay area, once again working together like a synchronized tag team, you got the job done ✅.
Interesting video haven’t seen a clutch change from start to finish before.. good job as always.👍
Good job chaps. I, too, am not a lover of clutch replacements. They always seem so fiddly on modern cars. Now changing one on a Morris Marina or Hillman Hunter, no problem.
Another Great video chaps and how lucky you are to be able to work in sync with each other knowing the job is done right.

I admire you guys the way your videos are every bit as good now as they were at the beginning. Thanks so much for your dedication to your channel,
Very informative gents. It's great to see such a range of work undertaken and on a big range of vehicles too. Many thanks
Another great job, that did not look easy. Less of of the lets go and more of the get involved. Enjoyable video. 🙂👍
Now's the time of year when I'm glad I'm down under. Jeez I hated those long nights of winter. Great job again lads.
Great teamwork lads.
Teamwork makes the dream work !
Best ..comment ...EVER..
I would say that this channel is on the same level as Wheeler Dealers. Very interesting, real English channel. I Like it
Brilliant another video!! That was a full days work Rob! Still, the dream team completed the job. Cracking!
Another good job done both of you. Quite a easy fix as a none runner clutch v engine no contest. 👍
I hope the next owner appreciates the work you've put into it. You two guys doing an honest days graft is an inspiration.
Thanks Rob and Chris we have been spoilt this week with fantastic vids to keep us sane during this lockdown thanks again boys stay lucky and healthy
You're belting them out this week. Good work guys.
well done lads, took me and me mate all day to do a clutch on my car too, not easy, even with a lift, mind you, kevin williams makes it look easy, doing them on the floor, great video lads.
Doesn’t he just, that mans a machine
To be honest sometimes it’s easier to do it on the floor 👍
Great job guys enjoy the way you do things ... the dynamic duo for sure!!
Cracking video Rob, you and Chris work as a team and get them in anmd out in double time. Thanks for sharing with us.
You guys are always able to work your magic, no matter how difficult the job
Well done boys 👍 Looked like a tough day 😅 Should be a nice little bunsen when its finished though. From the little I saw it looked like it drives well enough and will scrub 🧽 up lovely 💎
Thanks again for all your efforts I know I speak for nearly all the folk on here when I say that we really appreciate all your hard work - really helps in the times we’re in at the moment 😷 🌍
Warmest wishes from South Wales 🏴 - Jonathan 😊 👍
Apologise for been critical in last weeks video, I really enjoy the content and the effort you put in . Loving the 3 videos this week .
Rob, try keep doing these videos everyday if you can unless it stops work. Great to watch mate, cheers.
Cracking job as usual guys. You have really spoilt us this week with the videos that’s for sure. Looking forward to the next one 👍🏻
So nice to see a couple guys diagnose a problem without plugging it in great viewing lads love it
Nice result for you chaps and should look tidy by the time you've finished.
Great job, I find it easier to drop the engine & box out as one as they are so tight these days, plus most cars now don't have strong inner wings to use a support bar.

That is a great week of videos thanks ! Chuckled at Chris repeating the oil drain twice... must have just doubled up on that few seconds of vid! 👍🇨🇦
You boys are smashing the jobs out the park this week, busy boys! Great content as ever, can’t wait for the numbers👍
Very enjoyable watch always something different going on in that workshop nice one 👍
I remember watching a mechanic putting in a gearbox after a clutch change and it was a pig to get in and he ended up with the gearbox lying on his chest as he had difficulty getting it to go back in and I said why don’t you use the jack to help but he said that this was the way he always did it and he was going to do it his way, now I know why most of the mechanics I know are barrel chested and forearms like popeye, great post rob looking forward to seeing the next one
Another great video guys and nice to see a video that wasnt meant to be put up today
Have to say that's one thing i don't miss about England, dark early nights. Nice video.
Video on a Thursday! After a surprise Tuesday video means you're definitely spoiling us but the more the merrier!
Managed to find a great little camera angle for the pressure plate. Hats off! Awesome work lads!

The vans are good content makes a change from the cars
Fantastic work ethic from both Chris and Rob. Well done as always. Thank you.
I could watch you 2 everyday, I know it not possible but these extra one’s now and again make up for it. Quality video yet again 👍
Great clutch change, for you to say it was awkward, leaves me with a lot of respect to you both..
Rob, that was a great job, mate. You know what? You had to replace the clutch bit it's worth quite a bit more with a new clutch anyway.
What a cracking result looking forward tothe clean up video
Really enjoyed that and thanks for explaining how the clutch works. Wasn’t expecting a Thursday video, thanks!
Cracking job! 14:08 The side and rear reflectors work well!
Brilliant job guys, great input, love watching you guys saving cars from the scrap, that is a tidy little van
Brilliant video, my first time seeing the gearbox opened up so really appreciated the extra detail you showed on that.
Nothing stops you 2 great job again guys
Thanks lads, always enjoy it more when the time lapse stops and we get the detail.
Nice job gentlemen. Also nice to see there wasn't anything nasty hiding behind the failed clutch...
Lovely Jubbly, both your faces says it all, a big relief to get it finished too.
I think the clutch looked pretty good but still needs binning
I was watching you slide around on the concrete floor
I have pieces of cor flute that I stick on the concrete floor and I slide around on that and
It’s keeps you off that cold floor and it makes it easy to slide in and out from under the car
Good work as usual
Saved another one 👍👍😍😍
I was laying on a rubber tray bud 👍
@@sruk I didn’t see that bit 👍
@@davidbarnsley8486 turbo time laps 😂 I didn’t slow it down today was rushing to edit it 👍
Nice one Rob and Chris, thanks
Well done gents looks like you've scored with this one, even though it was a bit of pig to do the clutch on this van. Should hopefully be returning you guys a profit soon. Keep up the good work.
I've done a fair few clutches over the years to never easy but once it's done and drives it's a good feeling,its gonna make a nice van
The actual fix on the clutch minutes , the strip down and rebuild a day . I remember doing clutches in the 70s on 1100s , minis etc hour and a half tops 🤣. Great video as usual guys , well earned glass of wine tonight .

Thank you for the extra video. Yeah I'd love to see more but I know you and Chris have lives so I really thank you for putting out this content.
Was looking forwards to this one and it didn’t disappoint (it never does on SRUK)! .
what a cracking van for someone, started on the button, that takes me back to trying to do a clutch on the drive and about as much fun !! well done guys another great video
Rob, you better get shot of that little combo sharpish cause if the missus see's it, upgrade. Sweet as a nut that, great call.
Hi Rob & Chris, great video, informative and nice to see you guys working hard whilst we chill and watch you lol, seriously, your video's are a godsend in these times, look forward to them. Cheers, Alex.

After seeing your skill set I would buy with confidence a vehicle off you or Chris ,great video 👍👍👍
Brilliant video glad it went ok you both earnt yourselves a beer
Great video ,how lucky was it too get that part good to have a scrap yard close by 👍
You guys make it look easy! You are right about the Sealey Rachet, bought it for hubby for early birthday but I love it 😍 even got a set of 3/8 deep and shallow sockets 😎
Certainly earning your keep this week lads, thanks for the upload of yet another interesting vid.
Do you know, Rob - Do you know that these silly little vans do 112mph? Absolute mayhem!
You boys are the real deal.....love it! Imagine the labour costs taking that to the main dealer ££.
Great work Rob. That's driver abuse there probably- sitting at traffic lights with his foot on the clutch, eventually wore out the release bearing, drove it until it shattered.
Excellent you boys cracked that job out well done 👍
Nice little bonus after I’d finished work for the day to see this, thanks for the extra videos this week :)
Old skool garage at its best , nothing you or Chris can't achieve 💯🏴🎅

Love how the video is just off a phone does well. Don’t need anything else 💯
Great job as usual Rob and Chris well done! You’ve got a good setup there you can tackle pretty much anything.
Before fitting a new clutch ALWAYS CHECK the clutch plate fits the input shaft splines !! Once caught out never forgotten .
Standard procedure 👍
You guys are incredible, another great job done and the combo running nice now , hats off to you rob and Chris 👏
Well done Rob & Chris, never get bored of your video's
Can we help to get Chris to wear a Salvage Rebuilds jacket ? ;) Great work guys and always with attention to the small details makes very enjoyable viewing !
cheers for extra vid Rob and Chris a good tidy up and another ready to go nice 1
Another good job, good use of the clutch centre location tool!
I really dont know how i found this tube. But i am captivated by your motivation and honesty. Well done. ....by the way do you happen to know the whereabouts of a Mr. Arthur Daley?
Nice job guys, and long day but great result!
