    Hi Chris. Thanks for uploading these long videos. I appreciate this takes time as you’re filming them in a series but I appreciate the whole thing in one video. 10/10

    I‘ve bought a pack of colored markers and mark the holes when I remove a screw. Then put the screws for one piece into a small plastic bag and attach it to that part. This way I‘m „remembered“ of where the screws go and how many I‘ve left for that part.

    Fantastically informative, entertaining video Chris. You've done a really great job on this one mate, up there with the best car rebuilds on the tube. Really professional, cool calm & collective, good fun too. Came across you a while back on your mate Mat's channel, I really enjoy his stuff too, though to be honest, I have to turn the volume off & stick subtitles on his jobs, the hysterical schoolgirl screaming from him & his dad every two minutes is just tooooo cringe worthy lol.

    Hi bro,
    I have a question. I bought a damaged golf 8 clubsport. Finally I fixed it but I want to get rid of the errors like front assist, I refilled the airco so I need to run the first run of the aircompressor by some software. With what software can I do that?
    Thanks in advance!
