I was gonna change my sprinter seat belts to red ones, this video has convinced me they’re just fine the way they are...

Little tip for anyone working on seat belts - when pulling the belt off the reel, keep the reel in the upright position as it sits inside the vehicle, as they are designed to lock up at any other angles like for example it the vehicle is rolling over on to it's side etc. So if you can't seem to unroll it, just turn the reel to how it would normally sit in the vehicle then it should come out nicely.

Love the fact that you try and fix everything yourself. It's hard work sometimes, but gives you the skills you need to fix things out on the road, which you miss out on if you pay to have it done.

Thanks for the all the quality content mate,always helpful and interesting.

Well done mate, what a result

Dogs, Aren't they grand! Lol Between the pooping, peeing, chewing, puking, hair, mud, dirt, wet and Lord knows what else, it's amazing we love them at all. But we do. :-)

Just found your channel...loving it. Hope your channel grows fast so you can get back on the road!!

my friends own a trucking company and they got 4 springers (2 older ones and 2 from September) and for years they allowed workers to bring their pets to work so it's not unusual to find cats and dogs in the workspace every day

Sounds like a great place to work! 😁

Result a good cheap fix and very handy to know👍

This made my day

Excellent fix there 😁👍can't blame the woof as had a video fix 🤣🤣😎

Currently having chewing problems with Dexter our 8 month old springer, I feel your pain!

We tried the radio with our dog as he gets anxious when we go out and it works well. Has Lance got a Kong as I've heard they can work well?

You got to love him.

Well done :)

Curious to see if Lance chews this new seat belt as well :D

Did your air bag light come on ?

I'm here for the same reason 😭 going to try to DIY myself I also was having a bad day when this happened!

Thanks for sharing. ;)

My dog just pulled this shit today too! Hence why I’m here. 🤦🏼‍♀️

My dog did the very same thing on my truck, it was so frustrating.

did Lance settle down in the end? felt for him in this video.

Hey man! Interested in how much money it cost you week to week on your last trip around Europe I'm off on a roadtrip this summer in my big transit van, so keen to figure out my finances! Maybe you could do a video covering this?

If hes still chewing you can buy spray that like the stuff u get for kids biting nails you just spray on stuff and leave it no smell etc of it

Hi. Just found your channel. Good job with the belt. Don’t know about UK but here in Aussie it is illegal to sell 2nd hand belts because it’s not known if they have been stressed from an accident. There is only 1 company that is licensed to re-web them. Had to get one for my old car a while ago. What will stop the dog chewing it again?

That's a fair rule I guess but no such rules here I don't think. Well he is now banned from sitting in the cab 😆

Dog crate door on the dogs bed might be worth getting? He might not like it at first but a little doggy treat every time he goes in might help? Save you a lot of bother n won't have to worry every time you're away from the van for a couple hours.

I didn't know either that you could simply (or not so simply) swap out the webbing, nice one. Have you considered Lance a chew puzzle? There are many different levels which you hide treats in, they are aimed at keeping dogs busy, with rewards, but at the same time, educating them also. Would stop the urge to chew.

Springers get bored if left alone for any length of time.a kong can help and if stuffed with treats/doggy peanut butter will help keep him happy...ive had springers all my life (40+ years) kongs do help..

Yeah my grandmother trained police and army dogs. She couldnt recomend them enough from the day they first appeared on the market. I'e just used one to train my puppy to entertain himself with toys when alone. Start easy and make it harder and harder. Leave it with normal.dried dog food but standing up in water to soak it up. The longer you soak it the mushier they get and the harder it gets. More of a mental puzzle.

Great video. I never knew you could change the webbing on a seatbelt! With regards to Lance not wanting to come into the van.... maybe he doesn´t like radio 2. Perhaps he prefers something a bit more intelectual like radio 4.

Haha, yeah tbh I'd be annoyed stuck listening to Jeremy vine too. Might need to upgrade to a DAB then, my radio picks up bugger all. 😆

Always work with the battery disconnected, to prevent accidental triggering of the pretensioner. I wonder if anything could be sprayed on the belts to discourage dog chewing??? Dogs will be dogs!

Used a firm called seatbeltservice to change mine for me

My parents' dog went through a chewing stage. Luckily he outgrew it before he chomped completely through any chair legs. Has Lance been banned from the cab now? Have you got him an alternative item for him to chew?

@ProjectAmber

5 жыл бұрын

Yes he has 😂 he now has a number of items left out to have a naw on 👍

Get yourself a paintbrush and the hottest hot sauce you can find. Paint anything he can chew with it. It’ll stop that dead in its tracks (without harm)🐾🐾. Usually it’s permanent. It’s not sticky when dry... I have small inside dogs and we use recyclable potty pads. They work very well. The dogs are very good about using them. There’s always crating too but if he’s not used to it, it’s pretty cruel... , laundry might be a problem for travelers..

I'm so sorry, but i had a good laugh! The two dogs i got in 2005 & 6 went through that...lost many expensive things...but in the van just 9 months when the older died, near 2 years ago now...this last 6 months has been hell! The lil guy, in Oct. Started peeing anyplace he needed to go, i buy diapers now...holy crap, my kid is 28! LOL Life as a dog parent! I almost lost him in January but he has been doing well...still will pee in my lap, but seems active and happy. Good luck! ✌🐧

When my border collie started peeing where she slept I took her to a vet, slight kidney infection he said but it's clearing up now. Five or six months later she collapsed so off to a different vet. She had a cancerous tumor in her kidneys if I remember and had it for about six months the second vet said. I went home without my dog that day as nothing could be done, the tumor was so well rooted in. I don't mean to worry you but a second opinion earlier on could have possibly saved my dogs life for two or three years more. That type of operation is costly but I'd have paid for it! If it's a weak bladder, there's a treatment that's good but I can't remember the name. I hope your dog sticks around for a while longer, it hurts when they go I know.

He he your dog ate everything, I'm allowed to laugh as my dog ate all my stuff too. They're little fuckers. 😀He's a cutie.

Bloody hell mate , I reweb seat belts at my business , I've rewebbed loads into all colours . I could've sorted this for you . I reweb into other colours for £45 a pair

Well done mate, shame you can't take your dog to work

Where the is the will there is a way. Just like the need for the light bulb way back then.

poor Lance is stressed , he don't understand why he's left on his own

Trolled by a dog, brilliant lol!

I have a seat belt that looks just like the one you took out i gave him the one I took out have not had any problems since then he loves new toy he is a 45 lbs cocker Have a good day THE GRUMPY BUS

:-) Brilliant*

You need to find a doggy daycare near work, if you can even drop him off for a couple of hours in the morning where he can run around with other dogs, it would help. dogs are pack animals, it is a good thing to keep in mind.

Coat the seat belt with something harmless but unpleasant. He won't do it again.

Could have been worse, my dog ate my leather couch, she still lives but, the language I hadn't used in 50 years.

So many rotten Sprinters in breakers yards - you must be able to pick one up second hand - no?

nice doggie

now you have done it once, it will be a lot quicker next time....🐕🐕🚐😁 problem you have is that its a lovely chewy thing that smells and Taste's like Dad!!

my dog did this to my seatbelts hence why i’m searching up how to install a new seatbelt

My dog just chewed through both my drivers and passenger seat belts because I left her in the cab for 15 minutes while I went into the store. Ugh

Now treat the belt with Tabasco...............!!

lol daft dug.

How can you call Lance a twat 😂

So, it's the dogs fault you left the car door open? When dogs chew items other than their chew toys, it's a sign of something else going on with your pet.

Bad dog
