Great news about Ronnie he’s a credit to the fleet Ben👌A lot of us watch the channel for you so would definitely still tune in to the review videos, I think if it’s something you think you could enjoy making a video on then go for it 👍
Thanks for the kind words Nick. It's something I'll have a think about. Cheers
Respect to you for not selling out and doing review videos (at least since I have been subscribing) I always think such advertising videos are insincere by most RUclipsrs. I respect those who don't do them.
All these recovery vehicles without MOTS get caught out on DVSA check points!😮
Great to see Ronnie with a good solid pass & Inspector been correct on your tacho😊
Cheers buddy
You might think this is mad crazy.Anyone watching . i live in manchester when i was a kid in 1977 i was 7 years old my mum put me on a bus in manchester with a sandwich and an apple and a drink to grantham i had to change at nottingham at 1 pm the bus conductor had a hat and spoke English or the Train gaurd .Then when i arrived in grantham at 5 pm i walked down to my grans house ,and stayed 3 weeks Then did it back again .I wont even send my kids to the shop after 8pm nowdays .
@guy4469 ha ha that's brilliant mate. Love that. You'll have to come for a visit, I'll pick you up!
@@SleafordRecovery ill come in my mint BMW E38 its well known in manchester .
i done the same mate when i was 10..Dublin to manchester..lol
@@user-dg5dv8cw5w yeh bus conductor or train gaurd helped you ,and spoke English .
Great news about the MOT.
Also great news about the transit.👍👏🤞🙏
Thanks for commenting pal
My wife Angela was dead chuffed to hear your kind words Ben . She nearly came close to crying again.
I’m taking good care of her and I will make sure I buy plenty of chicken soup from Sainsburys lol .
Great to see Ronnie did you proud. Keep on trucking and stay safe out there.
Good to hear John, all the best to you both
I’m currently working literally over the road from that testing station at the sprayer place !, got one of our 13 ton diggers there 👍
Nice one, I'm often around Woodhall area 👍
Get in! Knew Ronnie wouldn’t let you down, nice drink of Redex for him he deserves it. So pleased the Cavalier has gone to a good home. Looking forward more Transit videos
Cheers for commenting mate
So glad the cav sold, so jealous I couldn't buy it 😂 always a win getting a fresh mot 👍
Personally I’d love to see a robot lawnmower video 😂
Ha ha cheers Luke
@@SleafordRecoveryas long as you wheelie it around the garden! 😂😂
The first time I took my own 7.5 tonner for an MOT it failed. I had replaced the manky side marker lights with some fancy LED ones and I quite fancied some of that wide relective tape which I applied down the full length of the body. The reason they failed it was because there were no reflectors on the side - the old marker lights had reflectors incorporated. But what about the relective tape? No good as it has to be separate reflectors! 😳 I my opinion the reflective tape is far more visible than any individual reflectors!
@jbbumpkin crazy mate isn't it
A very good Saturday morning to you sir from Wellington Somerset
Same to you my friend
Nice one pal, great to meet ya
Great news on the MOT pass Ben, I was always the same as you, nervous whenever I took my trucks for the test, keep the video's coming mate.
Thanks mate, I'll keep trying to get them out
Dont let companys draw you in ,choose only choose .your life is nice as it is .
Cheers mate
Long time viewer first time commenter...
You can check MOT status of HGV by searching vehicle MOT history, this will also show advisories that we're recorded by the examiner. Also the same for cars/vans etc. If you have the logbook number you can also see where tests on non hgvs were done. This goes back to 2018 if I remember correctly.
On the same site you can check for recalls on the vehicle you are searching for
Love the videos, always uplifting. Keep it up 🤙
Thanks mate, really appreciate you commenting 👍
I'm happy Ronnie did you proud
He's a good lad
How have I only just found this 😂 absolutely kill me you do mate keep up with the videos Carnt wait for more future videos 👌
Ha ha cheers mate, welcome along, appreciate you watching
Probably best you have Ronnie MOTed with the checkpoint just down the road from Sleaford. Love your videos abd definitely do one on the robot mower
@timstatham7444 that's closed down now mate.
@@SleafordRecovery how long ago was that?
Great content keep up the good work with Ronnie.
Glad you enjoyed this one, didn't really put anything out but it was nice to be filming again
I had a truck fail because the rear spray suppression mount had saged slightly and you could see 1/4 inch of tyre outside the spray suppression. Gutted.
2 videos a week would be awesome 😎 great video as always. Have a great weekend mate. 👊😘
Thanks mate, hope you're well, the jacket is out the truck now so you have a great view of your sticker!
@@SleafordRecovery I had noticed. Your a legend mate. Thank you so much for that. I new it was there so wasn't really an issue, but I'll certainly take it 🤣I've got some more if you want them👍
Well done! Roll on Ronnie
He's a top lad
I wouldn't mind the odd video about something you want to review. Big relief that Ronny has passed without any issue's👍
Cheers mate, I'll consider it 😂
Hey, you have the platform so take advantage of it especially if they want you to review something you like or want, as long as we still get our usual videos I'm sure an extra one or an extended one won't hurt us.
And well done Ronnie.
Good point mate, I'll have a think
A wise man once said "You're a lot shorter when you're sitting down!" Never a doubt that Ronnie wouldn't pass mate, you're looking after him!
Ha ha, cheers mate
LOVE A VID WITH CAPITALS IN THE TITLE....
interesting stuff..on the mot
the review vids are great...we defo need more lawnwowers on the channel...
what range...mpg did you get out of the Renault..?
and get yourself a Tizer......
N x
Oooh a Tizer...that's getting used! Gotta have caps, who would click if it wasn't?
63mpg calculated.
Review stuff that you can use daily in the recovery game and just include it in your videos kinda a real life test. Keep up the great videos 👍👍
Yeah maybe, we will see, cheers for commenting pal
Brilliant video, if you need a lawn to test a robot mower on mines ready for a cut😂😂
Ha ha OK mate I'll bear you in mind
Well done on the MOT Pass. You mentioned about advisory’s. I’m led to believe that with commercial MOT. You don’t get any advisory’s, you either pass or fail.
You can still get them mate. Last year I got one for a patch of rust near the screenwash bottle. Sorted it last week 👌
I was never that interested in the products that you reviewed and there are so many on RUclips that do this now and some I no longer follow because of it; they have morphed into Influencers who are two a penny nowadays. Having said that I did purchase a 'TopDon' jump starter after seeing your review, but don't tell anyone. I do enjoy your videos and please keep up the good work.
Thanks mate, that's exactly how I feel, I don't want to be a review channel at all.
15:54 I prefer to correspond in writing. Written information can be Printed. Printed information can be Laminated. Laminated information can be Carried. Carried information can be Presented. Presented information can End Pointless Argument and Educate Personal Opinion.
Very true
I'm glad Ronnie passed. See you on the next one ❤
I'll be there 👍
Do it it’s your channel 😂👍🏽
Ha ha yeah but I don't want you all to leave!
M8 I know exactly how you feel,I've got to do same at some point,mine been of the road since 2012 😅
Christ! Good luck!
@@SleafordRecovery I'm cheating a bit as going get safety inspection done first that way he should fly through,IF I ever get body fitted,been let down Big time by guy who was going to fit it
@stevespriggs3543 plenty of people who will let you down in this game mate
@@SleafordRecovery sadly but True m8,I'm like you,only like nice people 😂
Well Done Ronnie! Only review things that matter to you in your life and be honest (brutally) like Casey La Delle on his Cascade Heavy Rescue channel in the USA
Yeah I'm a big fan of him, actually spoke to him a few weeks ago about me going over to see him 👌
Comedy vlog as ever, crack on with the reviews as a side vlog, then giveaway to subscribers, lawnmower aside 😂
Ha ha cheers mate
I remember the state of some recoveries when the exemption was a thing, it was terrifying, rolling scrap metal turning up to load up a breakdown. I cant remember what year they got rid of it but it must be nearly 20 years ago now.
Would you believe it was only in 2018 mate
@@SleafordRecovery crikey, I thought it was way longer ago than that, definitely seems like longer. I remember van mounted cherry pickers used to have the same excemption.... some of them were really really scary.
Dude... Do a robot lawnmower review and get yourself a free robot lawnmower! 😅
Ha ha maybe 😂
I left the recovery game and now install robot mowers mate you will be surprised what they can do
@andrewstubbington9589 mate honestly I really want one!
@SleafordRecovery the ones I install let's you put stripping and diamond patterns in the grass and they are working on getting them to right word in the grass lol
@@andrewstubbington9589 that's what I thought for a video, I could write the fighting Torque logo in some local park 😂
@@SleafordRecovery hahaha that would be awesome
Well done Ronnie 😂 I hate MOT time , you should review what you want too, loyal subscribers will watch you make the videos fun Ben not the products
Cheers pal, I'll have a think about the review videos mate 👍
03:55 I was half expecting a slide-whistle noise as your jacket fell. Perhaps next time.
I didn't even notice that in the edit, as I can only see a small screen, then when I produced it I noticed it fall ha ha
I'd love to see you review the robot mower. We are in the market for one having seen my daughter's Flymo one. Would be interesting to compare
Ahhhh don't say that 😂😂
Always do a voluntary brake test and smoke test if unsure small cost for peace of mind
Totally mate
Good news on Ronnie.....sad 😢old v6 is away
Yeah but he's gone to his forever home
Good old Ron dog 🎉
Beast 💪
I'm glad it passed mate
Cheers pal
You can actually check MOT history of HGV's/LGV's and trailers now, was a recent change
Ah really? None of my apps do it
Dr pepper and vodka 😂
Ha ha yes!
Congrats, great video. Really pleased for you. Keep up the good work my friend
Thanks pal
Let’s hope Vosa doesn’t watch these videos, if they do you will be getting a pull, they have their own anpr for trucks.
I thought that as well... fancy announcing to the world that he'd had a cracked mirror for almost a year and only changed it because of MOT test time...🙄
@@MorrisPV exactly! Glad it wasn’t just me that noticed it. 👍
I should have further explained...it wasn't the main mirror it was the small concave mirror that had a crack, previous years MOT I didn't even have a mirror fitted there. The main mirror was fully functional.
DVSA can pull me any time they want. I couldn't be any more squeaky clean
Question is, can you load a robot lawnmower on to the back of Ronnie?
Content!
Why don’t you do separate videos, so you do your main vlog then do the reviews away from the main vlog. I know it’s a bit of extra work, but it could bring you some extra income for your channel. That way if people don’t want to watch the reviews they don’t have to and if the views don’t show it’s worth it then you can bin them! But you don’t know until you try and I often do a RUclips search on stuff I’m buying. If you want a chat about doing the reviews etc. you know I’m just round the corner from you I can pop in and have a chat.
Yeah maybe a good idea. Cheers mate
@@SleafordRecovery we did it on our other channel for 5 years, did the main content then the advertising features separate, that way you don’t sell yourself out for sponsors and you can make decent money if they give you a discount code.
cant believe youre slagging off boston 😢
Never mate
take blades off lawnmower put brushes on let it clean unit floor 😂😂
Amazing idea!
Hi Sir
Ben .. you are a vehicle recovery and lots of insurance companies refuse to pay out of not on dash cam ..
@snowysnowwolf6228 yeah but my point is...how can there be THAT many dash cams 😂
@@SleafordRecovery there are loads of crap ones lol
Not police its dcsa that do the checks.....stuff is dangerous with the lorry if police involved
No one wants that
Nice one ronnie
He's a boy 💪
That wasn't the test pass certificate, only the brake test readout, they stopped giving pass certificates at the end of April 2024. However if it had failed you would have been given a paper test refusal certificate. Analogue tachographs are required to have a calibration every two years with a full calibration every six years. Windsreens should be kept clear at all times not cluttered up with flags, what are you, recovery or a mobile gala?🤣
Ha ha thanks for that valuable information pal 😂😂😂😂
2nd
Congrats 👏
First
Skills
I'm happy for you Ronnie passed but realistically don't you think he should seeing as you're in that trade besides it would have more embarrassing if he didn't.
Of course...which is why he went in for a pre-inspection 2 days before. Almost like I've done this before 😂
Its getting boorinf.
What is?
Did you really get a mot with I loaded vehicle Because i've known mot INS.
Pectors. who's failed a Minibus for having a step so you can get In-N-Out in the back.
Some vehicles you need to take loaded as the weight simulator doesn’t always put enough weight on the back because off the bed
Yeah you have to arrive with weight on the bed
