Why? Land Rover Discovery 5 3.0 Had 2 DPF Cleans & A £3,000 Quote For Parts Cannon But Not Fixed 

Agreed everytime he uses one hand makes it look easy but it's anything but easy

That's a true sign of experience. I think he's done it once or twice before. What an excellent video.

Supposed specialist. Although he didn't mention a garage name so likely just some guy who calls himself a specialist

They are not mechanics they are just fitters

True, most of them are. That's why I maintain my own car whenever possible

What scan tool did you purchase

@@marksmith5934 otofix D1 lite (autel) it's brilliant

But they guy said he want to a "friend" who works at a LR "specialist" and that he's been buddies with the guy for 20 years. This friendship is one sided for sure.

​@@HaggisMuncher-69-420Friendship when it comes to business matters, it doesn't exist I'm afraid

Glad to help

Very welcome

The worst part is the cash grab is from a "mate" that he's been using for 20 years LOL. Something tells me his friendship is one sided.

I think that friendship may have just ended.

My Mondy likes a smoke during regeneration 🤣, it usually is the vapouriser that causes the issues but I've found using low saps oil and decent high quality fuel and good runs all is well touch wood

@@chucky2316 It still kick out the usual ash "smoke" especially if I'm accelerating hard during a regen. But nothing like the acrid smoke before. This was part burnt diesel, people used to get pretty upset when behind me😮

Thanks

Thanks again!

100%. I'm clueless when it comes to car repairs, clueless, and at the mercy of 'professionals' telling me what's needed. And like many I've been stung over the years. Wished this man was local to me, sounds like a gem.

A lady friend of mine has just been done, I scanned her vehicle and got egr fault code, she took car for warranty work and they said we need to scan it at a cost of £65, then they said it was the dpf. Now I'm no mechanic but watching this guy leads very to believe the egr would have caused the dpf fault to flag up.

@@tilermanI was like you once but I got fed up being ripped off in garages and getting shoddy work done. For example, the turbo intake pipe failed on my car and the garage charged me two hundred quid to replace it. I found the part later on the internet for twenty five quid and found a you tube video that showed it was a five minute job to replace it. So after that, I said I’d never get ripped off again and I educated myself with the help of videos like Jimmys. Since then I’ve done major work on my car and at it’s annual road worthiness test, the tester complimented me on the excellent condition of my car. So do what I did and learn how to diy.

@@davidmehlhorn726 Nice one! A quick tale of woe from me. My gear changes became really stiff in my van. Took it to 3 garages all said i need a new gearbox, 2 without even looking at it. Through a friend i got the contact number of a young mobile mechanic, explained the problem on the phone and he said he knew exactly the problem. He came over, 10 minutes later, job done. When it rains the guttering on the windscreen cannot take away the water quick enough so pours through the bonnet, in my case on top of the gear box lever ( i think thats what it's called!) seizing it up with rust. He took arm off, wire brushed it, bit of grease, perfection. Asked him how much and he said '£40', to which i replied 'how much', and he replied back 'oh, alright, how about £25'! Silly sod, gave him a £100 as he done me a right favour. Their are good guys out there, you just got to find them and keep them.

From an old smoke machine

@@ORileysAutos aha looked familiar thanks

Seeing that Jimmy uses it as his first and trusted daily it worth it's weight in gold... Occasionally he does use others as backup

I never found one that did everything I wanted, as even the top of the range ones didn't have facilities that others had. But it often comes down to the knowledge of the operator to interpret the information supplied, not just the tech they are using. They often don't tell you exactly what is wrong and you need to think around the problem to get to the cause.

£480

I used to have a TV repair shop. The council priced me out of that job when Blair increased to non domestic rates so much it wasn't worth doing it. I've been mobile for 20 years doing auto electrical work. They get nothing now.

@timmehlittleloud2251 I know I don't blame him for working on the road haha sounds like a working girl

I took mine off my jaguar xf was almost completely filled in same as pipes used screwdriver to scrape most out then diesel soaked rag got back down to the plastic and refitted been fine for another 4 years

@@steveleyland2644 Same on my XF 3-0S. Had RP coming up - first time in six years. Flap was sticking slightly, scraped the edges clean very carefully and sprayed all three MAF sensors with cleaner. Two weeks later did a 2,000+ mile trip to S of France and absolutely fine. Only cost me about £15 for the MAF spray 🙂.

@@spudmurphy764 yeah done the mafs as well and also got wyns dpf cleaner put 50/50 with water in a manual pressure pump and attached some plastic tubing to it and fed into front of dpf pumped it in left for 1/2 hour then started it up foam and shite came out the exhausts £28 will do 3 or 4 cleans. Had it done twice previously both times cost around £150 carbon clean engine lasted 4 days was the throttle body full of gunge and no one had even looked at it. I thought they driving around with vans and gear but not a clue so now I do it myself

@@steveleyland2644 Good to know 👍.

All the training you need is in my videos
