Don't leave us with it half-done. The MOT jobs, other than tires, are small but significant.
Mounting racks along the sides of the bed could hold the ramps, perhaps acting as protective sides for loads.
Let us see the work to get through it’s test!
Got to see it getting back to full health, I mean, it's going to be hauling some valuable metal! We all need to know those cars will be safe!
That's some shoddy work from the first inspector, not flagging up those extra issues. As you say, you thought you had ticked everything off and then the next inspector finds extra stuff. Super annoying. I did enjoy this video and would definitely watch the next instalment.
Great to see you fixing this truck. The ramps do need a nice place to mount during car transport. Below the deck seems best, but how about along each side of the rear deck, standing up above the deck? How about a rack above the car and over the roof of the truck cab?
That's a great truck yes i would like to see more
Not a big surprise that it didn't pass, but once all fixed and painted, it could be a good work truck. One thing that Adam should check is to see if it's legal or not to have the back wheels of the XJ6 on the diagonal part of the bed.
My goodness Adam the second inspector was very thorough . To be fair at least you'll know the vehicle will be in top top order . Here in the uk these brakedown vehicles are speed limited to 56mph ( 90 kph )
Id love to see the work, its part of the journey now
I agree with most of the other comments that i do want to see the other work needed to get the truck ready for its retest. One thing about transporting a big Jag (I know from experience), it will bounce around even if its tied down, and the front bumper especially should have some padding around it so it doesnt get damaged while travelling.
Why do I find this more interesting than all the Jags? 😀
I cant imagine how on earth you manage to get that long XJ with low ground clearance on to that VW without problems. Are you the new David Copperfield or something ??
Good job, Adam. I am sure you will get it through inspection 😊 Keep up the good work!
Thanks Anton!
And, yes please. Let us see how this adventure towards successful inspection goes!
Yes Adam we want to see what you do next thanks Andy Allen
Trevlig biltransport😁👍👍
Non-functioning brakes are a big issue that you should know would be an automatic fail for MOT purposes. All the other issues seem typical deferred maintenance items that most commercial vehicles tend to have because they are too busy being used to make money for their owners. Please. keep us posted on your efforts to get the truck running 100% road legal.
I made the mistake and assumed that the parking brake would work on the side the previous owner had just rebuilt.
Should of checked it all myself
You put a rubber grommet on those holes in the frame that you ran the wires through, right? Otherwise, the frame will rub through the wire insulation and cause a short, with a potential for fire.
Yes I did. I put grommets on my new holes and added them to all the old ones I found too
Not too bad a result on such an old truck. I'd like to o see the work, it's all part of your channel.
Thanks! I’ll film it then
Nice new toy, looks like the rear springs need replacing.You must get yourself a Ball Peen hammer and put your carpenters hammer away so that you can give the brake drums a dam good wack, they can take it.
I very much agree with the comments above Adam, love to see you get the roadworthiness certificate. Well done so far.
I love this thing - fully ready for more videos, at least until it is fully roadworthy.
Sure we want to see it ! Greetings from Shanghai
Great!
Oh a little disapponting for you, but im sure youll manage to sort it out no problem 😊. Id certainly like to see the follow up work and MOT pass!😊
Then I’ll film it!
Typiskt med besiktningen. Har varit fram och tillbaka 3 gånger med Saaben, och varje gång har de hittat något nytt. Bilen ska såklart inte godkännas med problem, men det vore bra om de kunde hitta allt på en gång.
Håller helt med!
Thats a great tool that brake puller
It really is! Very pleased with that purchase
Is the truck rated to carry something as heavy as possible a Jag?
Looks like it might be too heavy.
Yes it is
👍🇦🇺
Love the tow truck. Show more please
More to come!
