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!

CRASH DAMAGED TRUCK REPAIR - PART 1
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...
HE WANTS MY VIDEOS REMOVED! - DRAMA DRAMA MINI UPDATE

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...

That loom looked like a dogs breakfast but you got it squared away and damn if it didn't start straight up 👍
I bet you are hearing a banging noise now. I think you will be right in the thick of a drum and bass dooo. I so jealous im not there
Crikey. That wiring loom. Rats nest! 😂
An awesome job you’ve done right there!
54:36 its for if theres any water in there to drain out though that hole
How did you go on with your re test with the van
Passed mate no advisories. I’ve had a bit of stick for cleaning and painting that brake pipe but anyone who is actually in the industry knows that pipe was more than fine and the tester was being picky
Aw no . That looked painful . Ya poor bugger anf still you didnt swear. Thats not human
even workmanship
great wormanship very inpresed
There is no way to stick rusty sheet metal
It reminds me of BT man in the green box 😮 well done
Aaron my bloody 21 plate vivaro has blown up on me leaving me without a van to work out of. Bought it brand new and I have no confidence in anything new. Looking at an older vito with the 2.1 engine. Any van you would recommend?
Nightmare Jack! Sorry to hear that buddy. I’ve always been a fan of VW’s. Obviously a bit more expensive but I’ve never really had issues with the ones I’ve had.
put some tension on the bar the then give the bit on axle stand a good old belt with the hammer
I just rewatched this service and im amazed how much information and conversation i missed when i was typing.
Dam I missed you. Work really cuts into my social life I think I'll give it up. Couldn't find you on messenger.
Try searching my page on Facebook and you should be able to get to my messenger from that
Didn’t even get a notification 📣🤷🏻♂️ missed it lol.
Its "Non" Starter , not "None"
I’m pretty sure it can be either “None Start” or “Non Starter” anyway I couldn’t fit non starter onto the thumbnail. You know what I meant 😜
Missed this live ! :( watched it back and was in the draw though. Fair play! Well done those that won 👍 How have you got tomatoes like that with the poor weather we have had?! Fair play
Surely you started taping from the wrong end... and using that electrical tape instead of wiring loom fabric tape is not right!
All the wires were taped using electrical tape not the fabric stuff so I just went with what was already on it 👍
@@TheSelfEmployedSpannerMonkey two wrongs don't make a right!
That’s some Italian 🍝 🇮🇹😂 fair play 👍👍
What a hero wish you worked in the south west😊
It’s sounds like a immobiliser problem did they only have one key for this vehicle ?
It was the engine ECU that was faulty
Mate, the wiring loom on the Fiat is like sorting out the Xmas lights from the loft box. Absolute Nightmare well done! Some boy you 💪
Thanks as always Steve you legend 👍
Hey Steve.
@@MUNTA-e5e now then you... How you keeping? Hope all's good your end.
You should look up Chris Allan the professional struggler 😁
Nice one but hope you changed the Pollen Filter too Lad
Definitely not 😂
@@TheSelfEmployedSpannerMonkey good man 💪
Them captive nuts are a fricking nightmare on the control arms 😭
Half expecting you to find another dropped spanner that was the cause of the rattle and knock from a previous attempt to repair it 😂😂
This was just a bodge from start to finish a perfect guide on how not to do repairs stick to your day job😂😂😂😂🙈🙈🙈
ask fro an appeal form and contact the dvsa complaints they dont like
pipe failed for corrosion NOT DIRTY should replace not clean!
@21:00 Why don't you use the end of the Jack handle to turn the pressure release screw to let the jack down instead of struggling with pliers.😊
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.
Your microphone isn’t working too good when your driving
Invest in welding gloves and a leather apron
I think the world is taking the piss out of you mate. Here you are trying to lift the hub and a forklift is driving behind you 😂
Congrats Steve.... 🎉
Congratulations to the winners 👍
Sorry I wasn't here with ya. It's very early in nz. It's really good to see you not working with yr dogs drinking a smoking and just relaxing . Have a good day buddy
Congratulations to everyone... I got this crap user name because yt banned me on my other yt .
Just watching your comp live with a Beer just knocked off for the weekend. I never entered the comp. Can you imagine if I won when you've already given me a Hoodie 😂😂😂
Gutted I missed was at the football 😢with me lad
Love watching your stuff, very honest and down to earth
That paint job was shocking
It’s not the best 😂
Ey up! Fair play to the non body work guy making it happen with what you have 👍👍
Can't believe the pub landlord 😮 your not hurting anything. Sorry I wasn't in this live @munta duty calls 🤝
M too I Salute to magpies my father if a black cat went across the road he would drive the opposite way even if it took and hour going the longest way home 😂😂😂😂
Great job for a non body guy i hope you can spell my name as well as you said it on your live feed the other week lol
Sounds like Steve needs firing.
Good morning,now if I get arrested for rubbing my balls over my car to see if the panels are smooth it's on you now.. How big was the lamppost to damage front and wing mirror. No under coat before paint
