MOTORHOME NONE START - FIAT DUCATO MAXI
I had previously been trying to diagnose a Fiat Ducato Motorhome that wouldn't start, but when I was last there I forgot to put the memory card in the camera before setting off in the morning! I had tried to diagnose with the computer but I was getting intermittent signal from the engine ECU. I thought it may be a wiring issue so I got on with opening all the wires. I couldn't find any wiring fault and when I rechecked it, with everything plugged back in, I wasn't able to get any signal at all from the engine ECU. I sent it off to be checked and repaired and thankfully they found a fault with it! So today I had to return to get it all tidied back up and refit the ECU and see if it would actually start!

zhlédnutí 2,8KPřed dnem
Unfortunately, over at LJD his luck isn't getting any better as one of his drivers has crashed his truck into a lamp post! It has caused a fair amount of damage, including some bits I couldn't see from the photos. We got started on getting it fixed but we would need to wait for some extra parts to be delivered. #crash #damage #truck #trucking #hgv #mechanic #selfemployed #business #mechaniclife...

So, this is just a mini update for the debt that I have been chasing. I put all the invoices through a debt collection agency and he started taking it a bit more seriously. He has finally paid most of the invoices that were owed to me but we are still chasing some. He has asked the debt collection agency for me to remove the videos of him and mentioning him and he will pay the rest. I asked for...

TRAILER FUEL TANK REPLACED
zhlédnutí 1,4KPřed 14 dny
We finally got confirmation that the fuel tank we needed had been delivered so we could get on with repairing that trailer. It actually went a lot smoother than I was expecting as the fuel tank came with new straps already attached! Once we had sorted this one we needed to go to another breakdown for a trailer with an air leak. #truck #trucking #truckrepair #hgv #mechanic #selfemployed #busines...

    do these bottom arms regular. the inner bush seizes on the bolt. cut the ring of the arm and peel the arm out the way.slice the exposed bush vertically and chisel it off. bit of a faf but get brutal with it and they get to be pleasurable. heat helps too.

    What i like about your channel is it reminds me a bit about another channel i watch called fighting torque. Ben is an owner recovery driver who does a lot for mens mental health and the armed forces. He is just like you, a hard working down to earth guy and you should give him a quick watch to see what he is about.
