Unbelievable to have the same van back again someone has spent a small fortune on the van looks great 👍🏻

Stick a note in the glovebox, "to the new owner, I'll give you £2500 when you come to sell it" And then sell it again for £3000, good business plan haha 😂

I'd keep the caddy Rob to replace the blue combo it's bigger and looks nice salvage rebuilds down the side of it would really set it off.

I used to flip cars, and often, I would just put on a set of premium wheels, and a polish. That alone would raise the value allot.

The little Peugeot 206 diesel sport that I used to own had an engine management light come on - it also had an MOT coming up so I filled it with super diesel as I'd been advised to do that to improve the emission test result. Lo and behold, the warning light went out! Mentioned it to the guy who was going to do the MOT and he said yeah, it works sometimes; he'd done it with VW diesels as well. These days I use premium diesel all the time, it's worth it for my peace of mind.

Brilliant video as usual, I only found your channel about 8 weeks ago now wifey says I am addicted going back through all the other Videos keep up the good work you both are really talented at what you do Regards Ian

Its almost like you have been renting that van out in a way! Amazing that someone spent quite a bit of money on it and then decided to sell it a few months later but a big bonus for your guys. It doesn't look over the top just enough to make it look more attractive so I expect it will fly out the door!

Is definitely worth more than 3k Someone spend money 1k on it and it looks totally different. Win win for both of you 🤜🤛

Worth way more than that just with the way it looks. Pricing is all over the place and VWs tend to hold well but that caddy is worth it all day long. Atleast you’ll make a days profit out of it👍

That’s hilarious, I do like what’s been done to it though - looks great. I just hope you have something of this size coming up again in the near future as I’d bite your hand off for it! (Unfortunately finances aren’t there just yet 🤦🏼‍♂️)

What a transformation can't believe both are the same van. Looks amazing pimped out.

wow Rob and Chris that guy has certainly spent some money on that van and to get it back and not know you have had it before shows how much you lose track of what you have sold on lol I'm sure that will fly out the door asoon as its up for sale as 3 grand is a good price for that smart looking van another great video guys can't wait to see more keep them coming 👍👍👍💯💯💯💯

What a nice surprise 😂 somebody has turned it in to a decent looking van. Cracking deal lads.

The exterior has come up really well and hope you are pleased with the results

WOW - You are at it again guys. What goes around comes around - you've got double bubble on that van. Serendiperty has blessed you again!

Brought a smile to my face lads, looks nice with the mods

£3K are you guys mad???? That van looks amazing, lots of extras on it, have you seen the price of vans at moment, especially modded VW's that look so good? Oh how I wish I still lived in Kent..... You really do sell some amazing vehicles at budget prices.

Mate looks after company owned 2.5 and say not unusual to see them purring along with 350 on them. Each to their own

That vans gone through some transformation! Colour coded bumpers look so nice on it

Another great video. Just a thought, have you considered buying flood damaged cars, would appear from bad weather in the se there must be quite a few that get written off. I’m guessing some will be totally useless but some could be worth a shot.

Get yourself a glue dent pulling kit (PDR) and watch a couple of vids, it's not hard to do with simple dents like on that van. I got a kit and it's well worth giving it a go.

The bumper is original textured plastic, Most people spray the grill to the end of the fog light housing in gloss black, Quite weird seeing it cutoff where it does. And now is the best time for a clean caddy to be sold, deffo worth more than 3k as is! its immaculate, people with pay 4k for that and then put a new motor in it when it dies lol

Hi Rob,well,who would have thought you had the same van twice LOL,until you shown the pictures beforehand I didn't believe it.would make a brilliant valeting van.the owner has spent some time on the car.the wheels look expensive.👌

You guys are more than nice with your pricing! You could easily get 1000£ profit for this vehicle especially with the care & attention to detail you put in every vehicle.

I was thinking what an upmarket van right up until Rob said it's got windy up windows 🪟. Happy reunion 🫂 with the van!!

Omg when you was looking at the car I thought DV60 I know that van for some reason. When you pointed it out it dawned on me. Just shows you you did a good job first time round. 😂😂😂

At the rate you two boys turn cars round this will keep happening every week. Another great video boys. Keep going. Easy to say now but I said to my Mrs, I’m sure they’ve done that one. Lol. Brilliant. Stay safe 👍🍺

A guy just round the corner from me had one he lowered it and painted it a mint colour. Someone smashed the back in. He must have brought bsck from the insurance because he got another one and painted it the same and swapped the parts over, it looked quite nice. Rob if you are trading in a small radius it is probably inevitable that you will get the odd boomerang. 😁 The lowering kit probably cost a few hundred pounds, I don't know now having been out of the custom car scene for a long time. I wounder if he got the wheels from Silverlake? Anyway the video was not a waste of time gents, it just shows how the motor trade works. You left a bit in it for the next guy.😁👍👍

Good to see selfie vid being used correctly (ie not back to front like Android phones do)!

10:30 he didn’t spend a lot on the rep wheels or the ling long tyres.

I used to live in West Wickham in Kent in a flat above a garage there. Next to the sparrows den rugby club

Well that was a suprise for you two lol. The van looks cool how it's been done, especially after seeing how it looked before you traded it. 3k is fair with the miles on it despite what the comments section says. Thanks to you both for another great vid 👍

Van looks really nice and in really good condition as well and hope you can make a good profit

We keep reg's of all cars worked on for the spreadsheet, amazing what comes back around! Someone has spent a bit of money to make it look a bit smarter. I admire that you don't want to be greedy, but you could a little more out of that without even others blinking an eye. It came back to you to be sold for more haha!

Hi Rob and chris I was just think about you guys buy back a vehicle the other day loved all the videos keep it going and can't wait to see the Ford fiesta finish

How funny is it that you got that little van back. Looks great.

Hi Rob & Chris great little van you got to keep it get sign writing down the sides it will look cool 👍

That’s a coincidence…He did a nice job with that you lads will sell it for that money all day long & someone will be getting a great deal on it…well done lads 👍😊

That’s too funny! Great video. Why don’t you get a dent man in as it’s amazing what they do and the viewers may find it interesting. Keep up the good work you bloody legends

Great vid as always Guys. The van looks to me like its had a newer model facelift amongst the other mods you mentioned

Great to watch and learn how you've brought this Fiesta back to life. Looking forward to seeing the LSE getting on its feet again too. Really enjoy you working on the older classics. I'd like to see more about the Caterham and Chris tuning and maybe driving it. Thanks. All the best.

I would try to get to the bottom of that EML. Looks like it's been a problem a while judging by it's last MOT in Jan/Feb. Is that maybe why he sold it so quickly after - possible expensive problem?. A one mile drive isn't enough to check, I'd be taking it out for a good run to be honest. The last car that did that to me used to take at least 30 minutes to an hour before it came back, if not longer. Was an expensive fix for me in the end. Hope everything is ok with the van.

Hope you are both staying safe and well

Great to have a vehicle back when it’s been drastically improved to make a good profit on with very little work . Really pleased for you both 👍

cool win for you guys bonus from what it was originally looks very cool you really should think about the money after the guy doing the upgrades wheels ect

What goes around comes around!! 👍 Spot on little van!

That's one heck of a good looking caddy 😎 thanks for another enjoyable video chaps 👍🏻

Thafs enough waffle Hi guys great video lovely van indeed and they are sort of vans to modify and use as everyday vehicle and the wheel do look like from a audi but cant belive you had van before top work and great content and that can has good value on it and love it guys well done 👍🚗🛠️

Radio reception is bad on vw android headunits....I have 3 VWs with android and have installed USB DAB aerials in all 3 for crystal clear reception and more choice of station....dab aerial and booster are around £25 😀

Great video 👍 That will go so quickly chaps and a nice little earner to be had.

Wow what a bargain for someone Rob! (I’m sure there must be an extra grand’s worth of bits on it at least!) 😊

It's got sports seats too. Plus stereo, North of 800quid spend on it easily.

All the radio needs is a CANBUS converter Rob, that will clear the radio code.

When you went to have a look at the van I knew it was the same van from that video from by looking at the grill and I thought "That's the same van" but it does look nice

Had to do a double take rob I thought you had brought the van on to see if anyone noticed. It's a lovely van and someone has spent a lot of time on it. Used vans have shot up in price and are getting hard to find with everyone dropping on the amazon parcel deliveries since lockdown. My local car dealer offered a friend more money for his van than he paid for it from them two year ago.

Hi rob did u check the wire underneath the one series there's a wire what come from the battery might be rotten ❤❤❤

In the current climate you should be asking more for the caddy but any profit is a bonus well done.

Hi Rob and Chris could not make it up lol 😂thank you for a great video again take care both 😊👍🏻

Gr8 story love a van like this makes for a great business plan lads 👍

Hi Rob & Chris) I think you bought bargain nice van good for you boys all the best to you & your familys

That is amazing to have the same vehicle back in your possession, another great video guys, it was enjoyable to see interior footage of the lovely Fabia again❤️.

I’ve got a white 13 plate caddy, 1.6 tdi (75bhp) chipped to 104 . Absolutely love it. I can get 50 mpg easily. Although I can get it down to 25 when on a “b” road 🤣🤣

Love the content again, nice to see genuine nice fellas making a living 👍🏻

There is a possibility that the error code for the software version can be fixed....you need VCDS to fix it though.

You should get the dents done and sell it for 4 grand its a modified vw$$$!! Great video.

Guys what product do you use with the buffer to give the car a good shine.. You did say in an early video but I can't find it 😆 Thanks 👍👍👍👍👍

WOW WORTH MUCH MORE GUYS PROVES HOW YOU GUYS ARE NOT GREADY KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK

Good funny video lads .. and that little radio connector is £2 in Halford good little van for someone

Fantastic find again . It’s funny you never new . Fantastic videos

Need a few easy ones like this to keep funding that ST rebuild

Wow they didn’t happen everyday surprise surprise. Great work and thanks for sharing this with us take care

Great transformation wish I had the dosh great job guys

That's a proper nice looking van, You guys do a fantastic job with the rebuilds/restorations/Clean-up's.. its great to see how they come in and after back to been useful and ready for new owners to enjoy :)

EML light means nothing,when it flashes it is.Bought a mini one recently just for a daily driver.No exspansion on cap on .New indicator stalk .Paid 470 on a 03 plate been offered 300 over what i paid.Nice days work and a van you had and sold

It doesn't want to leave you two guys, and to be honest i don't blame it. A previous owner has certainly improved it's looks though. Even i would like this van and i'm ancient!

I was about to point out a couple of marks you missed, then realised it was dirty marks on my monitor. Hopefully the previous owner can write his expenses/loss off against business tax!

That’s NUTS! Fancy getting one of the batch back again

What a smart looking van somebody has turned it in to. Cheers for another unexpected video with great content.

Can someone explain why you would make those mods to a van like that? It’s a wonder the wheels weren’t kerbed after parking it where you found it!
