Watched new wheeler dealers (without Ed) and thought my god, the quality on UA-cam is better than the so-called TV. You guys need to be on the Box soon
@@priteshchampaneri5101 The quality the two boys put into the UA-cam, trumps most new programmes on the TV. There is a reason why nobody watched TV anymore 😂
I agree watching Rob and Chris is much better, but wouldn't want to see them on TV with a director and crew telling them what to do and say. Telling Rob to cut the waffle. It would kill the reason we watch these guys - 100% genuine characters and real life content!
I spend 6 years working at mini in oxford. 3 in paint and 3 assembly. Fluid fill breaks and air con was my main job. They are bad cars but not the worst I’ve seen! Love the channel ❤️
Must be strange in the workshop without Chris, when you're working with someone for so long you form a working partnership and spur each other on, you two make a cracking team, I really enjoy the videos and I've not forgotten about the Mercedes, hows that doing. Keep up the good work, look forward to seeing Chris back next week and the workshop will be back and buzzing.
I'd love to work with use would learn so much and no short cuts hate working on my own aswell it's nice to have someone to chat to through out the day keep videos going and content is s cracker love it
Great news about Chris - great video of investigations on the Mini. Don’t put your self down Rob it must be tremendously hard doing it all on your own! Thanks for keeping us all entertained and informed. 👍
Nice to see rob keep it up as it gives me and no doubt all the other subscribers so much of interest to look forward to hopefully see the magician Chris back next week
Good to have an update on the Mini. Going to be more labour intensive that some of the body repairs you have done so looking forward to the next installment and seeing Chris back too.
Just found your channel last month and it great remains me of year again got rushing to newsagents to get my copy of car mecane will be watching all your old ones
Glad to hear Chris is on the mend I'm so impatient at this point of diagnosing a fault cant wait till you've got the head of to see what's going on in there
Rob, apart from dribbling some oil into the low compression cylinder, the only other quick investigation you could do would be a leak-down on the problem cylinder just to see where the air comes out - induction system/exhaust system or crank breather for problems with inlet valve, exhaust valve or rings/piston.
Really Great news Chris is returning Back !!! I think you have achieved a lot on your own, hip hip hooray for once again sharing great content in your videos.
Without doubt it'll get fixed to live again and when it does it will be a nice motor. Buzzing that Chris will be back next week and can't wait to see what other project you've got coming! Appreciate the work to give us something to look forward to 3x a week!
Great to see the Mini making an appearance. Another great session, thanks for all your efforts, all the best to you and Chris, stay safe Gents, Cheers 👍🏼🙂
Chris your boys doing good, channels on the up. Get yourself well, there's no rush. Rob, time to get involved and get some waffle down you son, sounds like the mini's going to turn in to a maxi job. Looking forward to the next installment. Keep well, stay safe, and carry on.
Rob, you'll find out whats wrong and I have no doubt that you will fix it as well and me for one will keep watching - It's great to hear Chris is getting better !!
Good camera for white teeth Rob 🤣🤣🤣better then the BBC. I have MS can't get out much & have to stay in bed a lot. I look forward to your videos helps keep me entertained they are so good your personality makes them better then all the rest trying to make these types of videos. They help me a lot thank you. All the best hope you never stop.
Another top quality video and has a nice twist in investigating the problem which leaves me guessing in my head what I think it might be hehe makes u involved, also never understand why any one would dislike a video especially when it's 1st class vid as always
Loads of expert comments on here .. lets hope its as easy as piston seals mate .. have you the gas kit for the rad expansion tank too ..see if its the head or not .. keep em comming Rob top channel .. welcome back Chris with a big mug of tea !!!
My monies on a cracked piston, I’ve just rebuilt a John Cooper Works that had a really good blown piston, and got 2 Cooper S convertibles sat on the drive, one with a snapped chain, one with a slipped chain! Great engines these PSA lumps 😁
Rob as a relative newcomer to your channel just wanted to say I’m hooked 😁 and I’m currently working through all your past videos and car rebuilds. Looking forward to future projects 👍👍
Lets get this mini working. Its too good to be in the garage. BTW, I'm enjoying your videos on the Land Rover and do plan to own one in the near future. Greetings from the States and please, do continue with your video adventure!!
Good news about Chris. Great video Rob. Worked with a lad for two years, for two weeks after he left I realised I’d bought three brews he was never going to drink 🤪🤪
Absolutely love the r56 minis . Had one of these as my first car so they’re quite sentimental. Nice to see you’re working on this. Might get another one again 🤔. Good luck on the working this one out.
Hi Rob. So it's Henry 8th time again by the looks of it..." Off with her head, off with her head" 🤣🤣🤣 Hope it turns out to be something simple, Cheers, Bob
Rob, Mrs had a cooper s a few years back from main dealers. Had a new timing chain, high pressure fuel pump and a head strip and rebuild. Had all the valves cleaned due to carbon build up caused by direct injection. 6 months later we got rid. Might be carbon on valves so not seating. Hope you find the problem and great video
Probably not with just one valve having a problem and leaking like an open window. Good as a general cause, but probably not this one. I'd also expect the valve/cam clearance to go up lots if that was the case.
Probably right mate. Tbh we never looked into common problems until after we bought ours which was a massive mistake. Even had to have valve stem seals done at 58k
Your clock has stopped on the wall 😆 top upload again 👍👍😎😎
It’s never worked bud 👍
@@sruk that shows how observant I am then 🤣 I've been watching you for nearly 2 years and I've only just noticed 🤣🤣
Do a video on fixing the clock Rob 😂
Omg me too watching years and just noticed the clock 😂😂😂
I noticed that in the last video haha.
have checked the starter motor rob on the mini cooper

I agree. Can't stand the new WD. Much prefer watching Rob and Chris.

@@markf4720 very true
The last 6 months I've been addicted to you tube , the standard this Channel churns out and others is far better than anything on tv .
I’m my opinion one of the best car UA-cam channels about. Keep it up buddy.
I agree!
I spend 6 years working at mini in oxford. 3 in paint and 3 assembly. Fluid fill breaks and air con was my main job. They are bad cars but not the worst I’ve seen! Love the channel ❤️
Best wishes to Chris, looking forward to his return as I'm sure you are Rob.

Great vid, looking forward to the outcome.
Very interesting video cheers Rob👍
Bless your heart, Rob. You're looking a lot better today. Huge regards to Chris, goes without saying.
Apart from classic Mini, the R56 MINI is the best looking throughout the range to date since its reintroduction.
Thanks for the video Rob have a great weekend
Hope you are feeling abit better Chris looking forward to seeing you back
Another top video glad you’re back on top form and I wish Chris all the best 👍🏻
Thanks for the content have a good weekend

Looking forward to the tear down 😃, keep the projects coming.
Hi Rob,great news that Chris is on the mend,the mini looks a bit of a tuff one,but if anyone can resolve it will be you,stay safe as always,👍
Many years ago I used to own an Austin Mini what a beautiful car that was.. Good video Rob glad Chris is on the mend.
They were easy to fix - well, much easier than this modern BMW version!
Great video mate looking forward to Chris coming back and both of you getting involved 🔧
Rob, Mrs had a cooper s a few years back from main dealers. Had a new timing chain, high pressure fuel pump and a head strip and rebuild. Had all the valves cleaned due to carbon build up caused by direct injection. 6 months later we got rid. Might be carbon on valves so not seating.

Probably right mate. Tbh we never looked into common problems until after we bought ours which was a massive mistake. Even had to have valve stem seals done at 58k
@Gareth Prytherch Was it burning oil? Blue exhaust smoke? Did you manage to do it without taking the head off?
Great video rob, can’t wait to see what the fault is, hope Chris is on the mend, we all need the A team back together, take care and keep safe 😁
