      I once saw a Suzuki Wagon R that had done 90,000 miles without an oil change and the lady owner was quite proud of it only topping the oil up when the warning light came on,she wanted me to service it before MOT,it had never had a service from new,everything I looked at was knackered,the brake discs were nearly worn away because new pads had never been fitted or looked at,I told the lady I wouldn’t touch the vehicle because of the state it was in and told her to take it somewhere else. It was its first MOT and needed a lot of money spent on it to make it roadworthy,looking into the oil filler cap it looked like it was running on black pudding and was rattling like a tin of dried peas,no way was i getting involved with that vehicle.

    I had an ABS light showing up last year, didn't bother with a garage.
    I stated with the simplest problem first, and worked my way along.
    Wasn't the fuses, it was a sensor on a rear hub.
    Replaced it for 12 quid, job done!

      Had a car with ABS light on , turned out to be a sensor.
      Current car has air bag warning light on, there's a jumble of wires under passenger seat, give that a wiggle, light goes off.
      Really annoying how many problems are the warning device, and not the component itself.

      Yeah ABS sensors are a common fault, even just cleaning them can work sometimes. The rear ones on my Passat are a nightmare though, can't see them at all, right on the back of the hub, you gotta feel your way out, like a bind man at an orgy.

    MOT tester here, bear in mind you can take the wheel, hub cap etc off to inspect, you can't during an MOT test, it can be near impossible to see the pad in its carrier, and when you can, judging minimum 1.5mm thickness is tricky. No excuse if there is obvious metal to metal though, that's just sloppy...

    • @paulhughes7035
      @paulhughes7035 3 หลายเดือนก่อน +4

      I was thinking the same. I was told MOT cannot take the wheel off so that means you cannot judge pad thickness. Only real test is the braking test but it does not tell you proximity to brake failure. Nice video content ...

      I don't agree with your comments. You can clearly see the brake pads through the alloy wheels. No excuses, just sloppy testing. I bought a car recently where the previous tester advised the brake pads were low, and 6 months later, it was re-tested with no mention. Sloppy and lazy testing.

    This all looks so familiar. I've been fixing my cars on the drive for 35 years. Weather is a pain. Lack of a lift is a pain. For using a breaker bar on stubborn bolts work downwards, not upwards, and support the head end with a jack so it doesn't twist off, rounding things more. You can jump on the bar too which helps. Always good to see someone who actually cares. Full marks.

    Really gets on my nerves when people think cars don't need servicing. If only they knew how much damage is done. Great video bud.

    Agree on the stop-start. Always switch mine off. My wife’s car(Mini one) apparently has to have a stop-start battery at £160 and the car doesn’t even have that function !

    As someone who has done my fair share of soldier/splice repairs in the field, I would recommend a butane torch/iron with the reflector. It's too easy to not notice other damage being done with a 'naked' flame. We were issued an old Weller Pyropen, not the best iron by a long shot but def the best for heat shrink.

    Fair play to you being honest with people as alot of garages will rip people off and give others a bad name I check and try fixing it myself but I'm qualified nvq but that was back in the 90s and cars got to electronic now I stick to having old cars and welding is my job and has been for 25 years so mine only goes garage for mot and tyres

  • @pda49184

    Great work Guy's.. You're the real deal. I was in the tyre fitting business for a few years and remember a few massively over torqued car wheel nuts .. I had to jerry-rig some of our commercial tools to get the nuts free. Halfords (and a few others), need to tell their fitters that you only use an air wrench to lightly tighten and then torque up using a calibrated manual torque wrench, especially with alloys.

    For the job of stripping the wire wrap get yourself cheap thread or stitch picker tool. Cuts and protects the wires within the wrapping.

  • @rfcasey
    @rfcasey 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    Great video, quick tip. To wrap wires with electrical tape you will find it easier to first wrap the tape around a 10mm socket then around your wires. You will gain more clearance and a more professional appearance.

    • @themarvelousvlog
      @themarvelousvlog  3 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      There’s a few mobile crooks out there I can’t lie. Saying that, I believe that most mobiles left the garages that they used to work in because they know their worth and deserves better; meaning they probably know more than most garage mechs out there

    Just a little tip, with insulation or harness tape, if you're in a tight spot wrap some tape onto a small socket, sticky side out, then use this as a mini roll of tape, it makes it easier to wrap around harnesses where access is tight
