People are pricks. Loving your stuff, reminds me of my youth messing with trucks and pulling out the boot floor on a 309 using a special tool (40 ft container and velocity). That car is lovely. I have such a soft spot for these mk1 golf's.

Just wanted to say well done, fully appreciate the stress you are under to create content and run a business at the same time.

Without a business there would be no KZread channel. The moment anyone takes there attention away from their core business they are finished. Without doubt my favourite channel. I eagerly await every video and have never ever skipped or finished a video early. Keep doing what you are doing. You are fantastic

Armchair mechanics Al, sitting there sucking air through their teeth! Whatever anyone says, your videos are some of the most entertaining on You Tube pal, funny and educational! Keep them coming matey and get subscribing people!

Well said Al , loving the fagage when messing with petrol 😂 bit of me there!! Keep it going buddy 👍

Did I see a Merc SEC W126 hiding in the bushes? My favourite car ever! ❤

Good on you for giving people the answer they deserve , I’d like to see if people would still watch if they had to pay a subscription. 🤘

Totally understand your moan at the beginning,you have a business to run and a life outside of that,all your videos are great, yes I'd like more of them but it's not possible and I respect that,your humour and way of doing things is just so entertaining.

Great video, always interesting and listening to you. Totally agree your comments at beginning on the moaners. I'm aware no way will income from YT pay the bills so am thankful to you for taking the trouble and time of taking the footage, editing together and publishing for us to view.

Well said at the beginning Al 👍🏻 Your channel is about education and having fun m8 😆

Well said about the wingeridge Al. Keep the great videos coming fella 👍👍👍

Fully appreciate the work you do. I fully understand the juggling act you have to do to run a business and to do youtube. I for one enjoy your content and appreciate the work you put in.... business comes first and foremost and pleasure/ youtube comes second. Keep up the good work :)

Got love it Al cracking a fuel line with a lit cig 😂

A world without customers would be marvellous:) Never a truer word spoken!

Great video Al, and nice one for your well-worthy rant! 👏👏 people need to understand the day-job must come first

Turns out you’re the same age as me. Except I still look 21 (of course). Keep up the good work, I’ve been really enjoying your videos.

Should invite one of the moaners to walk in your shoes for a day haha they have no idea what the motor trade is like. The dream would be not having to work for the public for many mechanic lol!

A Totally valid rant. Well said.

Wow loved how it turned into a twin headlight after your intro

Any body that moans about things not getting finished need to go and visit 6D Deisels, they are always busy do more hrs in a day than most people do in a week. Keep it up Al otherwise it means you will be home more, and thats not you. All projects get finished in the end its called patience. As normal another great video.

splendid video chap, heres to 150 quid a week rolling in

How can people have the audacity to complain that you don’t upload enough content. Keep doing you bud, The channel is great.

Are you going to a wedding ! you've had a shave !!! LOL. stay safe and well richie

Just found your channel this weekend and I’m going through your videos!!! Absolutely brilliant channel,vids are great 👍🏼 Loved the Bedford video literally like going back in time !! Keep peddling Al 👍🏼

Also i enjoy your KZread content so thank you

I really like your videos Al and fully understand that your channel is not 10m subscribers and you are not launching an energy drink. Just a normal guy with great content! 🔥

Yeah, yeah, sending blessings" Old school I have just started watching 😂I will be coming down for a Mercedes Box Van. If you've got one, Keep up good work.😂😅 Simpson" By the way, you've got a great sense of humour. That's why we watch.😂😂😂😢😮 And you sure do know what you're doing 😊 Old school blessings.😂 Lol

The rant was needed and justified. I like most am just grateful for what we get when we get it. I had a 1.5 GLS Auto on a V plate these early ones had really nice dashes. Wish I’d kept mine.

Your business, your youtube, your cars, your choice, shouldnt have to justify anything, but you were so polite about the bleeding obvious you might now be my favourite channel, love the content dont want you getting the hump when you give so much, and dont even have to Flipping people...

So close 😂binged watched a few of your video's the day nice one. 👍

Always honest Al in your videos! Just keep doing what you do as you are very good at it! Some other people arent........😁😁

Al just keep going great video as always

That's a very clean example they are either complete Swiss cheese or garage queen's you rarely find in-between. Most normal folks understand you've a real job other than making videos, but regardless, we appreciate you doing the videos.

You can’t win them all Al ,excellent effort 👊

Thanks for the great videos!!

Another great video,ignore the moaners,and get more subscribers!Your skills and knowledge is worth more than £60 PH.

3:44 i like that 500❤

Awesome al the thing is your gona get these moaners they obviously haven't got a clue what the process of doing a KZread video it takes time plus your own life to get on with, loving your channel 👍

Fair play, but as the channel grows your KZread revenue will grow, so ignore the haters and stick with it. Love your vids. And that k-Jetronic injection is a pain when its been left. We replaced everything on my mates XR3i and it still didnt run right. On his, the metering head was all gummed up with corrosion, and was a pig to start.

The real mechanics know what it's like

Mate fuk the haters im in the trade and as you know there are easier ways to make money!!u are entertaining us out of your own time people are unbelievable love u and your channel m8 btw not in a gay way!!!!TOP BLOKE also £60 an hour not enough nowadays for someone of your talent

Love the content Al, more than happy when one of your new vids pops up! Well done keeping all the plates spinning and the lights on! Keep em coming. All the best. 👍

Well, I thought I HAD subscribed.....I hadn't.....I have now, appelogies😊

I always look forward to your videos Al.

Brilliant work mate love your videos , really like the way you go into detail , best wishes mate Kernow Eddie 👍

Love your videos and your old skool attitude and work ethics. Always a laugh, great rant at the beginning 😂.

Great vids as always 👍😎

Love your videos. Can't believe people are complaining you are giving up your free time to give us this excellent content. 🖕The hater's and winger's and carry on what you are doing 👌

Love the vid as always, you seem to have a full yard I still think you should give me the red golf... Full systems on mk1s are always fun. The gli was basically the same as the gti except cabriolet. The fuel tanks rust and the full pumps fail commonly. I'm sure somewhere I have a set of clocks for a gli unfortunately whomever removed them from a gli broke the dash surround. They came with a 79 gti I bought back in early 2000

Totally understand where you are coming from, hence no pressure from me, you provide superb videos as and when you can. 👍

Al your a top bloke, I wish I lived nearer to you for you to do the jobs I can no longer manage. I trust you.

Very well said regarding the business behind the videos, I have to admit I do enjoy waking up on a Sunday and watching the videos, but I do always remember the work that must go into it. Keep it up and get the videos out as and when you can 👍

Love watching your show. Fully understand that you can only do it when you can. I have subscribed. Marc from Australia

Videos are spot on 👍👍 keep up the good work

Quite rare that model 16 gli with early dash nice

Ignore the moaners Al, we all get them from time to time. Brilliant 'will it start' video, much more realistic & true to real life than mainstream shows like 'wheeler dealers' which have usually had all the fun edited out of them! Keep doing what you're doing Al (& Colin).

Can’t fault you with your rant Al. I’m a patient man, I’ll watch whatever you put up, whenever it arrives.Keep hold, respect from County Durham. Ps I’m subscribed

Live over the hill from you Al. Really like your videos and channel. Like you I rebuild classic bikes, I started doing KZread videos but gave up as it was so time consuming and cost me precious hours. So your rant is well justified, keep up the great work 👍

Hi Al - just to echo the sentiments of the other subs and comments below. Love the channel and wish you all the success your hard work deserves 😃😃

I subscribe to this channel in part because it is so unpredictable of what we may see and when so embrace it! Loved this video and think it’s first one I’ve seen where it hasn’t cracked off but sure it will in the end. Some car that when I was very small my uncle had one and Uber cool.

The channel is great al keep it going 👍

Even when your having a rant (which your entitled to) you seem a decent chap… keep up the good work and videos, and fuck the moaners!!!

Good vid guys, should have put the feed to the cut fuel line not the one with the rubber pipe. May be you did but pointed out the feed as other line.

I'm a recent follower maybe 5-6 months really good videos but KZread has unsubscribed twice I have to keep checking just a heads up, keep the good work up fella

My mate has just pasted his car test. He has been using a whistle on a bike licence. He is after selling it. The car is based in blackburn, Lancashire, and its a 850cc engine. It is running as it was his daily car. Ps love the vids.

You gotta do what you gotta do, we all enjoy your content, what we can do to help is like, comment and share. If you can, keep at it matey.

Yes I did watch a brave man doing his best on that three wheeler engine 👍. And yes man has a proper living to earn inbetween videos. I fully understand , I do make the odd sarcastic comment , but honestly I love every video and look forward to them .👍 All the best Al.

Fair play to you the rant was right brilliant video keeps on watching your video

Spot on .

Very cool Al 1980s cars and vans were very easy to work on

Man has to pay the bills, business gotta come first so totally agree with you Al!!!! 😁😁

Great video as allways . If it takes a bit of a time on soon project it just one of thing. much better than going to the motor factor and being deliverd in hours. you show how to get round thing a big thanks.

Hello Al your spot on about the reliant watched to see the vw golf my mum had one like that in 1982 and many people don't reliaze you don't make money with cars stuck on ramps I can relate to that as I work in trade like you

Love your content mate, you’ll hear no whinging from me if it takes a while to get back to things! Can’t believe the red Golf is still there 😮

Bosch k is very temperamental especially when left it probably needs the metering head cleaning or replacing they varnish up and stop/restrict fuel flow good luck

Always a giggle to be had watching these videos, warts n all lol. Never mind the moaners, you’re never gonna please the whole internet…with any luck they’ll just get fed up and jog on lol

Al I'm sorry that you had to address the moaners in the comments section, we all know you work extremely hard day in and night out and most of us really appreciate that you make time to make these videos. I love the authenticity, right down to the rollie hanging out of your mouth and the swearing at bolts that don't comply! It's how I work and I really hope you never change! I hope your subscriber count increases and you can make more money out of KZread but on a serious note, I fear that nobends are going to turn up at your yard expecting a tour, autograph and signed photo which I'm sure will annoy you no end. It might be worth hiding your location or changing your channel name to one that doesn't match your business name. I follow another channel that does salvage repairs, they are very discreet about their location but the internet worked it out and now they have nutters ringing their door bell (thankfully they put up big fencing and gates before starting the channel) I wanted to add that I almost became a moaner in the comments section because I like others found it really hard to hear you. Turns out my new £1200 Dell laptop has the worst speakers I have ever come across, if I dig out the 10 year old Lenovo or stick on the Bose headphones I can hear you loud and clear. Keep up the good work Al

Keep up the vids, one of my favorite channels. The vids are better with being a sideline to your real job. Re: the cabrio, early GTIs had a fuse ontop of the fuel pump relay, check that is OK. Shorting the two big connectors on the fuse board when the relay is removed should make the pump run all the time/power the feed to the pump for your temp lashup. The electrical connector I saw on the pump and the accumulator itself looked raltively new replacments not the near 45 year old originals so may be able to get to work again.

I thought it was a first class moan about the moaners...Quality stuff, explaining how your world works... A world without customers....Ah bliss....All those luvly people who think we are there to serve their every wish on time...

Your videos are great pal don't worry about the keyboard warriors 👍

These KZread channels of all the various trades whether bricklayers,builders,roofers,carpenters etc etc.. are an eye opener for the general public to understand that the majority of small traders, business men etc. provide an often thankless task, out of hours operations, seldom take the average PAYE holidays, sick days, bank holidays, pensions etc.. and are not earning salaries like the CEO's of a stock market company. And like your high street small retailers, once their gone, their gone for good..

Daft question Ale , when your talking about Robin, in the background there is what looks like half a bus . Now am I being stupid ?😊 probably

I never understood why people call the Reliant Robin a "Robin Reliant". -- There you go, that's your expected moan over and done! 😆

I know where theres an 850 reliant engine, but its being used as a water pump at the moment, im watching it with interest

that reliant, they were popular here in yorkshire in the 80s/90s all the coal minors use to buy them and drive them on motorbike licences. there was one guy who had one he got it through the mot then it dissapeard, i didnt see it for about 2 month then i spotted it one day in GT Smiths supermarket car park hed cut the back off it to make it into a pick up then got a ford sierra for £50 took the 2.0 pinto engine and box out of it made a frame and mounted it in the back of the reliant took a fiesta gear stick and made a linkage to clamp round the mt75 gear stick so you had 2 gearstick on in the cab and 1 in the bed it was a work of art how hed done it then cut the front of the sierra prop shaft and the rear of the reliat prop shaft and welded them both together(it wasent very balanced) but my god was it quick. he was racing a rs turbo in a straight line he could over take the rs like it was standing but come the first corner you didnt want to be in it. the brakes cooked really quick and it went through 5 rear diffs in a month.back then the parts were easy to get though.he was a fitter at the pit.that was the only time id ever been in a reliant and i will never get in another one .

I’m pretty sure I bought a telescopic step ladder off that geezer a few years ago, he had a yellow van … possibly a Renault Trafic, it’s the yard area and garage I seem to kind of remember, anyhoo, love the content, still waiting to pop round and collect a few vito parts from you Al and the steps I bought are still going strong 😎👍
