But most repairs won't need a computer to diagnose......
.......and can be fixed by the owner or a proper mechanic.....

I think the engine fault might though sadly . But if I have most other jobs completed before then it won't be so bad

I think you missed the point, the older vans may need tlc to keep them to a standard the owner wants and can do in the respect of Tam by himself.
Regardless of the need for a computer it is the love and attention that is given to keep them right.
I learnt a long long time ago the saying " If you want a job doing right, do it yourself" most modern mechanics are just fitters with a title of technition.

Yeah but uncle Lenny HB weren't doing nowt on it I was doing it myself lol.

I had lennys wheels of his new van greasing his hubs lol.

It’s barely 24 hrs since you put it in. Especially as you have hoisted it up and down and driven it around Cornwall. Give it the full 24 hrs at least. We have to think of Gary. O top of that there’s some other jobs you can get on with to take your mind off it

Flipping rain in now glad you got that roof done yesterday

It's Gary that keeps saying switch it on switch it on lol.

He'd barely opened his eyes (at 9am) this morning before he was texting me saying have you switched it on yet lol.

I was up at 6am, fitting anti slip matting on the bits of my dashboard lol.

Going out now to remove the old sat nav and check the cables for reverse camera. Waiting on a load of bits in the post to do other lights ,TV etc in the van..not important bits but with weather I can't do any outside jobs at present.

If fridge is OK I can move on to ordering battery, solar etc .

Cheaper than a bullet

 

[Minxy]

I said it was a 4-dog sofa!

Thank goodness... but if he moves back to Moby he'd have another to fill!

I'm up to my eyes in wiring just now.. you should see the wiring in here for this old sat nav reverse camera bollocks ... and the 2 old trackers that were fitted .

I could stretch the wires from here to uncle lennys

 

[Carpmart]

- what’s the news… can’t handle the suspense!

 

[Minxy]

Give him time, he's wrestling with a massive 'snake' at the moment and Garry's probably keeping well away in case there are any .

 

[gus-lopez]

I'll give it an hour before checking.

It'll need more than that before it gets hold of it. I always put a thermometer on top of the evaporator as that has to cool before it starts on the air inside

You where told it works fine on gas so if not then surely the previous owner would be happy to have it back ?
