If you know how a system works you know how to test it and therefore can fix it. A lack of understanding and laziness breeds parts changers and scan and go merchants. If a vehicle is booked into my garage for a diagnostic test. That’s exactly what it gets. TESTING. Top work as always fella 👍

[@derekmorgan4895]

What diagnostic tool would you recommend for a part time mechanic & his dog? ,🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

[@devilspawn0797]

@@derekmorgan4895 my go to is my Autel ms909 as a general tool. Lots of good tools available. I suppose your budget has a big bearing on things but launch,topdon,Autel and thinkcar all very good products. Data systems are a must as well a variety of test lights/bulbs for load testing. A decent multimeter and a scope of some kind. Even a one channel level entry scope is better than none at all. Lastly but the most important thing in my opinion is training. Have attended many courses that include diagnostic and master tech at technical topics in bridgewater whom I can’t recommend highly enough. So much so that I’m currently in Lanzarote on holiday and I’m attending one of the day after I fly back 😂 hth

[@grahamnimmo4656]

Surely this video is evidence of the fraud by the main dealer. They claim to be experts and that legally carries an extremely high bar that the customer can expect from them. The fact that a 1 man independent mobile mechanic, accurately diagnosed and fixed the problem on video, in a car park of all places, proves that the dealer was incompetent at best and fraudulent at worst. Either way, he should be demanding his money back from the dealer on this basis alone in my opinion. Clearly they are either not experts and are incompetent or they are deliberately overcharging! Which is it do you think?

[@Altair885]

Glad I totally rebuilt the body on my smiley transit. Had it from new and covered over 500k miles now. Still use it to do journeys the length of the country without any issue, and it's not even that bad on fuel. When I watch these videos and tot up the cost of owning newer vans I realise I'd have to be mental to swap it, especially as you very often can't even fix it yourself!

[@chrisdalton9849]

Top Marks again Jimmy for your patience and explanations. Lads in our local Ford garage get paid rubbish wages, and get treated badly so my nephew left when he could and now hes happy working at a Land Rover dealers. Most youngsters are interested but the management are just blond haired empty suits , yes, this one was a woman 😏😊👍

That is a big part of the problem. Good mechanics aren’t valued or paid properly so they leave. Every garage needs good staff who stay around & are valued.

[@Bigtbuilder]

@@MummaBear shocking statement if that was reality.

[@marksutherland774]

@@Bigtbuilder Pretty much is reality. Some main dealers have their own training centres, very different from the old city and guilds type training. Jimmy and others like him have likely had full hands on training and, I'd say , more importantly experience in both diagnosis and fixing. Parts replacers are simply fixing the symptom in many cases. I know some great mechanics and it's their practical knowledge, due to experience, to deal with all things that can go wrong, rounded ruts etc. That only comes with being in the thick of it. Dealers are purely about the numbers, the money.

[@Bigtbuilder]

@@marksutherland774 I am one of those Old School City and Guilds qualified techs and did a 5 year indentured apprenticeship at GM Luton plant which included 12 months at General Motors in Detroit, ending up in what was called AJ Block at the Luton plant, the experimental vehicle development section for 5 years. So it’s no wonder that these so called “modern apprenticeships” produce “parts swappers” not diagnostic fault finders.

That was fascinating, I don't know much about anything mechanical. Watched the whole video mind blown! Considering buying a Vivaro as my first ever vehicle, as I want to convert it and travel. Wondering if I could please ask you advice. Two people have now told me that vivaros are bad vans, would you agree with this? If not what would be the year and millage you'd suggest would be a decent van to purchase for converting into a camper. Theres some reasonably priced options around 50k/60k miles, and obviously cheaper again at 80k. The difficulty is I could waste money getting something really low millege and then take longer to convert it or i could save money getting higher mileage then it could be a waste as I'd be paying for repairs. Any tips would be really appreciated. Thanks

How do you get this good at fault diagnosis? Serious question. I'm not a mechanic. However, after spotting a video of yours where I realised my exterior temp sensor was toast- 88 deg c- so I self fitted a new Peugeot part to my wing mirror and now it's all good. £80 done. I don't get why modern garages are unable to diagnose issues.

I have no issues with the work you do and have nothing against you personally. My issue is with the way the system works. It gets blocked because it’s saving the soot and emissions then it cleans itself back into the air. So if all the sensors and equipment wasn’t there it would just go back into the air exactly the same. Am I wrong? Please tell me if that’s right or wrong.
