I think you made the right decision not doing the extra work on the doors. It's supposed to be a work van, not an exhibition vehicle and offering it at this low prices gives potential customers the chance to decide for themselves. Very nice little project and you did really well once again.
Indeed Teebo DK,at the end of the day,it is what it is,call it a work van, or a work horse.It will end up with more dents and scratches,and most probably runned to the ground specially if it's purchased by a building company.
It's the 1.5 diesel Renault K9K engine used by Renault and Nissan across their ranges including Juke and Qashqai. It's pretty bombproof and produced in Renault/Nissan Alliance unitshops all over the world.
Great practical van for someone. I would love it. You Chris and Aiden have done a fantastic turn around on this vehicle. I never miss a video of you guys. Wouldn't mind a bit of an update on Chris's boat but I know you guys have countless projects on the go so I will just have to wait and see. 👍👍👍👍👍
That'll sell for £3995 straight away, an ideal little plumber or electrician van, people who won't be fussed about the back doors, they function well enough and don't look that bad. Certainly wouldn't put me off.
Very enjoyable video Rob, some are easy, some are a problem. You do a great video and a great service by reclaiming damaged vehicles for further use, well done!
Great job, as someone who made a decent living with work vans, let them go with imperfections. A guy starting out might be able to scrape up 4 but not 5. I started out with a borrowed 4 door Buick, then a Dodge mini van, then a full size Dodge van and finished up with a Ford E-350 stretch cargo van. Autos are different on the market and they are all about curb appeal or status. By the way, speaking as someone who has seen more Prisons than Schools, that wasn't a secret compartment. Rob, I could see how excited you were but I call them the way I see them. Keep up the great work guys.
Put a window in the old door and put it up on EBay or save it for Chris’s micro camper. A great mail van for the USA. Postal delivery. Great buy gentlemen.
Great job guys. As Chris was unpacking that door round by the Disco, I thought "If that falls over and dinks the tailgate, 'there will be swearing on the channel'
All it needs is take it to the car wash and clean out the interior before you deliver. Don't worry about the back door, or the minor scratches, most users won't care so long as it runs good.
Cracking job Rob as usual. Only advice would be, when deleting all codes like that, save a report first. The deleted codes could be crucial to diagnosing a fault and sometimes they don't come back.
That could be the quickest turnaround ever. I think that will sell as is, it being a work van. A stroke of luck with the side door there Gents, no one can moan about that. Chris hammered the back door too, not bad. Thanks Rob and Chris for another good video I hope you both have a great weekend. 👍👍
1.5 DCI engine is very reliable I've got a 2002 MK1 kangoo 163000 miles and counting . Dacia also use the same engine as well. On the old door cut out window hole and sell it on as Will get you your money back you paid for replacement 😉
If you were so inclined you could cut the damaged window section out and sell the old door to recoup the money on the new door. Good job and nice little van
Perfect video getting that van turned round quickly guys keeping the cash flowing for bigger and better projects 😊 Always a pleasure watching you two fixing um up and getting them out the door at a fantastic price and that’ll be a great work vehicle for someone 🤩
Rob and chris keep these great video s coming they just get better and better my 5 year old daughter is your number 1 fan lol and she knows monday wednesday and friday is chris and rob day when she finishes school and she even said the timing chain on the range rover she wasnt happy cause chris didnt fix it god love her keep up the great work guys
Find out where the previous owner had the service work done, then you can contact them and ask them if they can provide you copies or a print out. Worth a try
Thanks for another great film. A very fair price I'd say. Only thing going against it is Cat S but if only relating to the doors then worth every penny.
I added a PDR pulling tower to the workshop - should have built one years ago - you & Chris would love one, Rob - it saves panels that would otherwise be binned, like where there's no access to the back of the panel. Did a Fiat 500 quarter that was otherwise big body-work/respray due to zero access to the back of it (it's the double wall bit) only today - see that original van back door, that's an easy fix tbh, be a doddle.
I understand your reasoning for stopping short of a full refurbish on this 7-year-old van. The mileage is not bad, for the age and the general state aligns well with the state of a work van, it is not a showman's van but something to use, ideally for honest money-making trade-activities!. Now, sit back and enjoy a great weekend.
Smart little van guys! Easy fix for you guys, no point replacing that rear door, Chris straightened it out enough for a 7 year old van. Most would look a lot worse than that.
Chris doing body work is therapy for the watcher - a craftsman at work and a veritable Michaelangelo of the dented body panel - that engine also sees widespread use across Dacia models too - care for it and it will love you back - I have experienced a few of them
Great price for the van. That was a fantastic bit of luck finding that door. I'd be very surprised if it doesn't sell. I don't think the odd bump and scrape will matter one bit, the mileage will clinch it, I think. Great video. 👍
For bodywork dents that are hard to reach I would suggest getting some air bags that you could put between the dent & the door frame. Inflate the airbag in different locations in the area you need to work on & Bob's your uncle dent mostly gone.😃😃
There are loads of these vans about here in Alicante. The scrap yard near me (so not any help to you two) have hundreds of doors at one of their storage yards, and cheap too. They will even fit them if required. Brilliant vans, you'll sell that easy.
Excellent video again from you both. Out of all the channels I subscribe to this is my goto one for enjoyment, courtesy and downright honesty. If I were looking for a particular vehicle I fancied and you had it on the channel I would not think twice about trying to purchase as soon as it was advertised because I know that I wouldn't be getting caught by such two genuine guys in the trade. We could do with more businesses like yours. All the best to you both in your continuing business. Just waiting for the next.
It's quite a tidy van! At the end of the day, it is a work van and for someone young just starting out, something like this is exactly what they are looking for, so I think that your decision to sell as is, is a good one.
Jusst a suggestion to you two, why not get one of the mobile paint / minor damage repair guys to do the small patch ups that you seem so worried about? If you had done all the battle scars ( remember the van is seven years old!!) the first time you use a car park at a supermarket you will have another ding to repair! Most of the mobile boys do a lot of trade work so they are fast and pretty good, certaily good enough for a lot of the battle scars that you worry about so much. Keep up the great work and look after Criss!!.
It’s a deal, a steal, it’s the sale of the century. Someone is going to get one heck of a van for pennies. Cracking turnaround and as I’ve said before, you’re not greedy. Lovely jubbly.
Hello Rob and Chris, good result re the side door. Great little van that will be a work horse for someone. Seems like a very good price. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Great vid guys! Nice quick turn around. Sell it as is. Any 7 year old work truck or van is bound to have dings and scratches, and will for sure get more in the future.
hello both, what a brilliant little van for some one, and great price too. Amazed at the skill with the hammers on the rear door. I am never disapointed in watching your video's. Hope the van sells quickly! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
An idea would be to fit rubber cushioning on either side of the back door to disguise the damage and it protects the doors from further damage if they swing open in the wind and hits something. A cheap fix to increase it's value even more.
Great video, Rob & Chris, and a nice van, as is, for someone in the trades or just as a knock around vehicle. Chris is definitely a guy who can tease metal back into shape, and I'm sure he would have made this one look like new, had he continued, but not worth it in the long run. Thanks again for the great content.
If the SLDoors are premium, you could cut the old panel out leaving a 1cm flange and spot weld a new panel in! Good repair on the back doors, I think you are well cheap with this one, where else do you find one with only 50k on it! Another great video! Phil
I think you made the right decision not doing the extra work on the doors. It's supposed to be a work van, not an exhibition vehicle and offering it at this low prices gives potential customers the chance to decide for themselves. Very nice little project and you did really well once again.

A work-van must have dings. It's a sign of a hard-working person.

Wouldn't mind a bit of an update on Chris's boat but I know you guys have countless projects on the go so I will just have to wait and see. 👍👍👍👍👍
Cheap van. No need to do the back doors if it's going to be a work horse
If it's a work van wouldn't be long before the doors were dinged up again anyway. Doors always cop a flogging.
But this is Rob and Chris.
Nothing short of perfect will do.
That'll sell for £3995 straight away, an ideal little plumber or electrician van, people who won't be fussed about the back doors, they function well enough and don't look that bad. Certainly wouldn't put me off.
Perfect guys, you did as much as that was needed it'll sell 10 times over no problems 👍
The best part of Friday after work is when you guys drop the video
Mon, Wed, Fri - I genuinely look forward to these videos. Love them all
Citan - different dash, front end, rear doors & rear lights
Another great result.
You are right in nor fixing every mark, it’s a really good cheap work van that will do someone proud
Very enjoyable video Rob, some are easy, some are a problem. You do a great video and a great service by reclaiming damaged vehicles for further use, well done!

Van doors are so expensive and hard to find because so many are being broken into.
Quick turnaround guys this little van !!
Cheap van to !!
Fantastic video yet again !!
See you in the next video!!
Perfect video getting that van turned round quickly guys keeping the cash flowing for bigger and better projects 😊 Always a pleasure watching you two fixing um up and getting them out the door at a fantastic price and that’ll be a great work vehicle for someone 🤩
Nice van for a Friday. Don’t worry about the doors, some apprentice will have them dented within 24 hours of purchase. Have a great weekend guys 👍
Rob and chris keep these great video s coming they just get better and better my 5 year old daughter is your number 1 fan lol and she knows monday wednesday and friday is chris and rob day when she finishes school and she even said the timing chain on the range rover she wasnt happy cause chris didnt fix it god love her keep up the great work guys
You have done well with the whole project. It's a good van no one is probably worry about the odd ding and dent
PRS - Pass after Rectification at Station. Defects can be fixed within one hour after the test and before being recorded.
👌 thank you 🙏
I don't know how you lads make a living in just repairing and selling cars? Your making great interesting videos though. Two genuine blokes👍
Find out where the previous owner had the service work done, then you can contact them and ask them if they can provide you copies or a print out. Worth a try
Nice little van for somebody just starting up.Well done ✅ a nice little turn round 😉👍
You've done a lovely job on that van. Someone's getting a nice little bargain, there.
That’s a great profit return for a low outlay, well done 👏🏻
Thanks for another great film. A very fair price I'd say. Only thing going against it is Cat S but if only relating to the doors then worth every penny.

I was a bit concerned when Chris started slashing with the knife . . . . good job your mates 😄
That van turned out ok you got a result on that side door looking forward to the next video 👍
Smart little van guys! Easy fix for you guys, no point replacing that rear door, Chris straightened it out enough for a 7 year old van. Most would look a lot worse than that.
Great video , what a result with that side door Curtis did a lovely job on the back door a nice van all in good luck 🤞 guys 👍👍👍
PRS passed rectified at station
Chris doing body work is therapy for the watcher - a craftsman at work and a veritable Michaelangelo of the dented body panel - that engine also sees widespread use across Dacia models too - care for it and it will love you back - I have experienced a few of them

Top result with that door!! Nice van - ready to go. BTW, you don't sound like a parrot!! 🦜
Easy fix guys and nice turn-out as usual.
what a great van....perfect as is....no need for any more work.....its a works van ready to go back to work....great video
Easy quick turn around 👍👍👍👍

Good bit of useless info

Great job Rob & Chris,a nice straight foward fixs this time,have a great wkends guys.
Great price for the mileage and year every van has a few knocks looks respectable to use as is 👌
Nice little van , done very well with that door👍
Rob and Chris you have done a great job no the van a great price love your waffling on always look forward your great video
I had one of these great on fuel. Had to get a transit custom for more room or would of still had it. Nice job lads
Nice job, Rob and Chris, good finish in the end.
Going make someone a nice little van.low milage good bodywork.good little work horse.Another cracking job Rob and Chris.
Great video thanks Chris and rob
Very pragmatic repair. No point in 100% perfection for a working vehicle.
liked the unpacking video of the door!! you could use some of the packing to list the damaged door back on eBay?
Chris should fill the back doors and paint them himself. His painting is good enough.
Yes I don't understand why they didn't
Probably coz there busy 😅🤷
Hello Rob and Chris,nice work on the van,the doors seem to get expensive but that price is very good.it will make a good car for someone.
It's quite a tidy van! At the end of the day, it is a work van and for someone young just starting out, something like this is exactly what they are looking for, so I think that your decision to sell as is, is a good one.
Made a nice little van,cheers guys.
Hi Rob and Chris, what a tidy, usable van, it's 7 yrs old, sensible mileage, got a few scars but a brilliant buy, will sell easily.. Alex.
Jusst a suggestion to you two, why not get one of the mobile paint / minor damage repair guys to do the small patch ups that you seem so worried about? If you had done all the battle scars ( remember the van is seven years old!!) the first time you use a car park at a supermarket you will have another ding to repair!
Most of the mobile boys do a lot of trade work so they are fast and pretty good, certaily good enough for a lot of the battle scars that you worry about so much.
Keep up the great work and look after Criss!!.
The rear door is ok for this van 👍
It’s a deal, a steal, it’s the sale of the century. Someone is going to get one heck of a van for pennies. Cracking turnaround and as I’ve said before, you’re not greedy. Lovely jubbly.
Spot on guys
Brilliant result and won't be around for long
its a work van, its fine. lookin really good, considering its origin story.
Hello Rob and Chris, good result re the side door. Great little van that will be a work horse for someone. Seems like a very good price. Thank you for taking the time to upload another video. Ged
Nice little van!!
Wow that is one cheap little van. Top job guys. 👍
Have a good weekend fellas
That will be a great little van for someone, have a great weekend Rob and Chris 👍🏻
Lovely looking van easy repair for you great stuff.
Great turnaround, good little van, another one done, sorted lads 👍👍
Great vid guys! Nice quick turn around. Sell it as is. Any 7 year old work truck or van is bound to have dings and scratches, and will for sure get more in the future.
Another one bites the dust ! That'll sell so quickly guys , well done !
Another great job. Cracking little van for someone. Thank you 🙏
They are coming quickly now. Soon be room for an entire transporter from Copart lol
Lovely job guys.
That's a smart enough van for the money and low mileage too. Great result on the side door!
I've been waiting for this one. I'm excited to see how you address the hole in the door.
hello both, what a brilliant little van for some one, and great price too. Amazed at the skill with the hammers on the rear door. I am never disapointed in watching your video's. Hope the van sells quickly! Best wishes from Lincolnshire
An idea would be to fit rubber cushioning on either side of the back door to disguise the damage and it protects the doors from further damage if they swing open in the wind and hits something.
A cheap fix to increase it's value even more.
It would look awful 👍
@@sruk nope it would protect it
Great video, Rob & Chris, and a nice van, as is, for someone in the trades or just as a knock around vehicle. Chris is definitely a guy who can tease metal back into shape, and I'm sure he would have made this one look like new, had he continued, but not worth it in the long run.
Thanks again for the great content.
Rob waffle one of the many things that make these videos great tks.
If the SLDoors are premium, you could cut the old panel out leaving a 1cm flange and spot weld a new panel in! Good repair on the back doors, I think you are well cheap with this one, where else do you find one with only 50k on it! Another great video!
Phil
Them 'scratches'!? You guys could fall in horse muck and would come up smelling of roses! Good work fellas
Great video and work as always Rob! :D
Chris is truly talented.
Cracking little van, will sell no bother as it is 👍
Great job guys,what a bargain that door was especially Inc post as on a pallet so not cheap,bargain for someone,have a great weekend guys👍
You missed off the orange indicator bulb off the numbers! lol
thankyou gentlemen,,and a well deserved profit for you both,,have a good weekend,👌👍
Right result guys! Fab little van
You got a tenners worth of bubble wrap there boys

Dacia step way lauriette has that engine too and the Renault captur. Bulletproof they say. Great content rob and Chris. Gordon Aberdeen
I have 2 vans like the above. Both pre face-lift but same van and engine. A 2009 and a 2012. Both over 200k and run spot on
