I'm a service engineer in the UK. I will show a day in the life of a heavy plant engineer explaining jobs from my point of view. There is also opportunity to show the latest plant and machinery with how to set them up and more !

There's going to be shortages of everything you can think of because the supply of cheap oil and gas the EU has been running on is now gone,,Because they sanctioned and attacked russia ,,And all because the dictator criminals who rule over us in the EU jumped on board project Ukraine at the Biden admin,bequest ,And to arm Ukraine to the teeth ,overthrow the democratically elected government of Ukraine,,In the midan coup,,Install a puppet government and use Ukraine as a proxy,,Which the USA has been planning since 2013,,Then the USA blew up nordstream,,Which is actually German sovereign property,,which is an act of war on Germany,,So we can all thank the USA for the industrial demise of Europe,,Now were buying the same Russian oil and gas as before,,But from third party Turkey and India at 4 times the price,,,

Those little hatz engines wont charge if the isolator key is removed or falls out after starting al,the regulator needs an earth to work properly.Ive also came across ground workers removing the ignition key to use on other plant 😂 whilst running and it cuts the ignition feed to the regulator.

That’s what I thought I think they were pushing the isolator in and then starting it 🤔

Am I wrong in thinking you shouldn't touch halogen bulbs. Grease from skin creates a heat spot and blows them really quick

Ali, Is it normal for some sludgy material to be stuck to the magnet on the axel drain plugs of a 420 shovel. 1500hrs so the second axle oil change. What’s your first thoughts?

A new van,,Probably 45k worth,,And a Mercedes at that,,And the plastics are so cheap and flimsy that the coating has come off,,,,,If it's still under warranty ,,Bring it back and get them to replace all the outer plastics for new ones,,,,How come back in the late 90s you could buy a car with black plastic on it and the plastic would last 10 year before it started to discolour ,,,I taught technology was supposed to move on and get better with time,,,,,,If the plastic is this crap and cheap just imagine what the rest of the components are like,,,,
@nightstorm9128
@nightstorm9128 4 дня назад
Those wiper blades are a perfect example of everything that's wrong with new cars and vans,,,,,,Wiper blades were universally the same on every car brand,,,It worked perfectly for decades with no problems,,,And it was super simple,,,So what do manufacturers do when something is simple easy and has worked perfectly for years,,,,,They change it of corse,,Make it as technical and difficult as possible ,,And it has to be made flimsy and cheap,,And double the price of corse,,,No wander all new cars are shitboxes,,

Use a blow torch to bring back your mirror plastics. Also why do you remove the positive battery terminal first and not the negative one first as the machine's are negative chassis? Great videos as always. Adam in Dorset

Hi Ali, good video, the wee pry bar tool is and excellent tool for any and every job but just watch its easy to bend them as there are not that strong, but for undoing electrical plugs and picking out pebbles from recessed bolt holes its great. If you had opened the parcel before doing the van wipers the wee pry bar would have helped in pushing the middle tab down and made the job easier😉

My sprinter plastics are suffering the same discolouration as yours. I was recommended Chrome Trim Gel, I’ve used it and it definitely works but needs reapplying at least once every 4-6 weeks and for 24 hours it does attract dust, not so much of a problem now we are out of summer.
