As a man of near 60, seeing you work thru a problem like we do is lovely and rerfeshing to see. Well done that man, you're a credit to your industry and yourself.

Apart from your diagnostic skills, I'm impressed that you can desolder and replace a bank of relays inside a van while it's pissing down outside |-)

Spot on old school workmanship someone who actually repairs rather than replacing costly parts refreshing to see in this throw away environment we live in now 👌

Perfect repair. Saved the lady a fortune. Well done.

I once had an Audi Q8, bought new, and at some point when it was four or five years old the driver’s seat fuse used to blow. It was one of those slow-blow ones that I swapped out myself until service time. I asked the main dealer at Swansea to look at it during a service and according to them “our Master Technician has looked at it and diagnosed two burnt out non-replaceable seat motors but since you are such a good customer we’ll do you a good deal on a new seat at £1000 plus fitting plus VAT, call it £1400”. My local mechanic sorted it permanently with insulating tape and an hour of labour. So is the whole dealership corrupt or just a lazy or incompetent ‘master technician?’ They obviously thought I’d come down with the last shower. Never gave them a chance again and warn everyone of my experience if they ask.

Lovely to see a genuine honest mechanic. I had an omission alert on my car, it ran like a bag of shite, misfiring on start up, ran for approx 100 metres before it would run smoothly. Only 63k on the clock. Took it to 3 garages, last one said the fault was the injectors...replaced those, fault still in place, took it back...was told it was the hydraulic lifters...replaced those...still had the fault and a £800 bill! I gave up and decided to live with it. MOT time came around, sat in the waiting room hoping it would pass. Tester came for a chat saying he'd had problems getting it to pass the emissions test but had persevered till it did and the reason he got it to pass was to 'tinker' with a sensor on the exhaust system. Turns out the sensor was fecked and the reason for the fault. Booked it in the next day, sensor replaced...fault fixed. £108 bill. I'm left with a once quiet engine that now sounds like the entire cast of riverdance are tapping away under the bonnet. 😢

100 % repair. The customer is lucky you have the skill to repair it.

Well done mate, not many would have made that relay repair. This repair should give you plenty of work. Which you deserve, once the word gets around, that you supply good work and can be trusted.ps. Good to hear the Glasgow accent 👍

I love the fact that you've got a whole rework bench in the back of the van!

Just found you, you are a young version of me, the stories I could tell you would take forever and none of us has that amount of time, I'll only say I am VW Audi trained, 75 years old and trained form the very start of computer diagnostics, love what you are doing and urge you to keep up to date, you have the capability and enthusiasm, if I was your age I would be doing exactly what you are doing now, very best of luck, Stewart.

If you watch Wheeler Dealers, Mike Brewer is quite often finding small companies who can repair units like this for pennies compared to the dealers charging through the nose. He quite often recommends using these small firms. He even found a TV repair man to repair an electronic component in one episode. So good on you for taking the time to do these types of repair. Totally justified.

Great repair ! Good to see someone actually using their head for a change !

Well done, saved customer a fortune plus you are an excellent mechanic/diagnostic wizard🎉

You are a godsend to the public! proud of you my man sticking it to those greedy dealerships. also the thing is the fact you replaced the module with better relay chips means the customer wont need to worry about his reoccuring.

Hope you can feel me patting you on the back, wish there were more people like you out there doing a good repair at the correct price. You saved the lady a fortune, but not only that, you showed that cars can be fixed at a fraction of the retailer's repair cost. Honesty will keep you busy for a long time, good luck with all you do, and i have subscribed. Thank you.

Too many bloody sensors on everything nowadays. Overkill just for manufacturers and garages to make money out of drivers. They have the Apple mentality. Make it near impossible for the average consumer to fix without specialist equipment. Thank goodness for honest techs like this guy.

Superb as always mate! The module repairs and manually reprogramming them with the module in the back of the van is always class and you don’t see too many other people doing it on UKposts. The more detail the better. No doubt the channel will get to where it deserves to be 👍

OUTSTANDING ,,,,,,, GOOD WHEN YOU CAN HELP A CUSTOMER OUT AND BE PAID FOR THE WORK . LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT ONE THANKS !!!!!!!!!👍🏽

Shit hot technician lad. Fair play 👍

Glad to see someone, who's very cleaver at his job but, who also, not only save money for his customer, but also saves the environment for the cost of making a complete new part.👍👍👍 💪💪

Component level repair on a circuit board? That requires skill that contemporary dealership service don’t have. Extraordinary, on what was more common 50 years ago that would save consumers a lot of money. I thought this was a lost art. Well done.

I reckon you must be a disciple of Diagnose Dan or vice versa. Really enjoyed the video as always great to see a craftsman at work. Saved that lady a fortune with your patient and knowledgeable approach to the issue.

Great to see some integrity in the modern world. We're in the times of throwaway parts while saying we should be kind to the planet. I'm sure you could make more money going the easy route but your life will be more fulfilling doing what you're doing. Bravo, made my day watching that video. Subscribed for more.

wet belt engine every dealer knows the issue with it someone should be going to jail for this

That was a good repair, it saved the customer money, you get job satisfaction from it and it makes a great video. Cheers

Brilliant repair wish we had more machanics like you

Great stuff Ryan.. I absolutely agree with you that it's become a throw-away culture. I have seen the same thing happen in the guitar amplifier business where the manufacturers have designed the amps using a lot of SMC's that are, as you'll know, difficult to diagnose and need special tools & equipment to remove and replace successfully. A lot of amp techs wont touch them and these amps end up in the recycling centre with one blown resistor or capacitor. Net Zero ? ? Hypocrisy personified.

Great repair mate, my word you're a clever man

Anymore most mechanics are just assemblers, buy a new module and plug and play. Your efforts actually finding the exact problem could help manufacturers source better relays, hopefully they know the source of the relay had a quality control problem. Without question definitely worth the effort. Just so nice to watch you work.

Loving your Channel Chap, honest guy who knows his stuff. Long may you prosper. Greetings from S Devon.

Well done. A true craftsman. It’s been a pleasure watching you at work.

Great job nice to see repairs not replacements as happens too often

Proper job. A true repair and refreshing to watch your skill 😊

Brilliant repair on the door lock! Diagnose Dan has a great channel, and good to see you using his online help, a great service. Well done Sir👋👋

Great repair and good knowledge on the 2 parts from different cars being the same. Keep it up bro good content

Hopefully saved the customer big money and added to your experience and skill set. Lots of motor mechanics are keen to have an easy life and just replace rather than actually repair, great to see a young technician not afraid to experiment and improvise.

Spot on mate, definitely worth repairing the bcm, no point lining the pockets of the dealer for a part that should never have failed ! Top job that saved the customer a shit load of money and a nice chunk of job satisfaction.

Keep up with your honesty , and you'll never be out of work. good luck.

I found your channel a week ago & have a channel myself, well done on the BCM repair. We are some bunch of people the lengths we go to in order to save the owners some money. It does sometimes go wrong & you can be seen as the worst technician ever, but your efforts restores my faith people. Well done mate 👏👏👏

What a fantastic diagnosis and repair video. I’m having a bit of trouble with the strong Scottish accent, but think I’ve ‘tuned in’, and can understand the work flow. I do repairs for people, as I love solving the puzzles. Just repaired “my grandfather’s Panasonic walkman’ for a friend, which was a long job due to battery corrosion. All the plate-through holes did not connect the top to the bottom track. Each pad was ‘etched’ away from its plate through centre. I had continuity from the centre to the track below, but not from the centre to its top pad. Had to fill nearly all plate throughs with a wire link. Anyway, traced the whole board through and found more breaks in the track. All repaired. Fixed it in the end. Absolutely loved your analysis and diagnosis. Using sound to find the faulty relay - fantastic skill. … and then tearing the relay apart to demonstrate the hard fault. Also liked your research. Other authors bothering to write-up their fault-fixes. What a useful database. Looking forward to the next video collection. Matt Lee

Excellent. Your video was served up to by the algorithm and I am glad it did. As a retired seagoing marine engineer of 34 years - it was nice to see a young chap on top of his game calmly working through logically and methodically to restore operational capability, quickly, effectively and cheaply. With specific reference to the relays replacement in the BCM - you asked if it was worth doing. I think only you and your customer can answer that. Bearing in mind my background we repaired at component level because there was no choice (you cannot call out the AA in the middle of the Atlantic) and there was no labour charge penalty to consider. In your circumstances and for this repair I think you said it was a three hour job and I do not know your charge out rate but let’s say it is £125/hr so £375, I think there were 5 relays at £6 a copy, so £30 and then the VAT so all up £522. I believe you said a Dealer job would have been a new BCM at £1K and I would imagine 1.5 hours labour at say £175/hr and the VAT so all up £1515.So for the customer you were a third cheaper than the dealer and you did it in their drive. For you, you get the job satisfaction of actually doing something more than slinging spare parts at the problem and as long as you are making a net profit then all is good. Well done young man and subscribed. BTW: These sort of problems (relays) are entirely down to cheaping out on the quality of components. At production each relay would have cost them £0.60 not £6 - if they had spent a quid they would last 20 years.

Your a man after my own heart after fifty five years in plant maintenance as an industrial electrician for an apprentice commencing 1963. Building Services, heating, cooling, air con plus plant repairs. Having that electrical knowledge was a winner especially when boilers from domestic to large steam raising boilers. I did save customers using your methodology which meant I could repair with one visit with a stock of components and stocking some electromechanical controllers. It wasn't legal under Corgi and Gas Safety regs. Gas and hot oil is instantly explosive, call combustion a controlled explosion to identify the closeness to a bomb. The alternative,

You'll never make a decent living being as honest as you are . Good on you for being there for folk.

Great way to save the customer money and shows you actually know what your doing. Brilliant Keep it up

Nice to see someone actually doing component repair! Good on you!

First time that I've watched one of your videos & I've subscribed right away. Really enjoyable.

nice to see an honest mechanic looking out for the customer

Absolutely Brilliant, wish more people dedicated like yourself to help the motorist from the Greedy Garages 👍😁👍

Brilliant repair Ryan👏

I really enjoyed watching this video. You certainly know what you are doing. It must be a really satisfying job when it all goes well like that. 👍

Amazing technical skills plus honesty and great customer service. All those qualities are all too rare these days. Lucky customers.

Good job it's nice to see someone fixing rather than replacing

Great job. It's nice to see a mechanic that does his due diligence and save your customer money as that's the way all mechanic job should be done.

Well done that man for your knowledge and perseverance.

Superb repair. Going to pass on your details to someone at work who is having issues with electric windows on a vauxhal Mokka. Well impressed..

Great to see some true engineering in car repairs. I enjoyed watching.

Well done you I think you done a good repair to the jeep, hope the owner showed his appreciation 👌👍🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Great channel ! Very good informative and a delight to view. TBH had to go back at times understand your Irish? accent. Your truck is just awesome hats off to you, you are a true 21st Century mechanic. Have a great holiday mate.

I love technicians/mechanics like you. A good diagnosis is half of the fix.

Your a clever man keep up the good work it’s good to see components replaced it sickens me when you have to buy a complete unit rather than the inexpensive part

Just came across your video for the first time. Great content. Clear diagnosis and honest. Keep it up and a bonus that you are in Scotland. Subscribed.

I admire your tenacity and courage. I'd be worried about getting into a mess

Excellent work as always mate 👍🏻👍🏻

Fair play to you, definitely worth doing,if i was the customer id be over the moon !

Great work to repair that unit well done and saved the customer money from those overpriced dealers

great to see a young man with the skill and honesty in this sort of trade well done

Really good to see someone with the skills to carry out repairs at component level rather than just changing whole modules until the fault goes away.

Quality video of really high class diagnosis and repair. Makes me sick when I see diagnosis by swapping components and modules. THINGS CAN BE FIXED EVEN TODAY - if you've got the brains to work it out. Well done sir ...

Class act, Proper Repair done and customer saved a small fortune.. Well Done you..

Great content, good to see you go all out for customers and not just fob people off 👍👍

Great to see honesty and pride to do good work instead of ripping people off like most do today. Follow your own decency it will serve you well.

Great video nice to know people like you know all the tech. Great job

Smashed it mate on the body control module well done

Good repair m8 nice to see something fixed not just pull out and fit new bcm 👍

Bang on, great repair

Great repair mate, well done 👍

wow seen your van in Thornliebank today but in my wifes car car was telling them ...lol but their answer to me telling them was what are you like next to the tan place ..wow was so amazed to see you great work

Super job mate, yes your saving money for the customer, saving the environment, and your knowledge is fantastic and will keep growing happy daze mate great work.

Excellent work and integrity. Wish you everything for future

If only all mechanics were as knowledgeable and thorough as you, fantastic work and reapir over replace any day of the week.

Some cars have test you can do which is accessed by performing a designatedsequence of buttons in the car or elsewhere. The tests are usually easy and require no tools or removing anything. Nissan has one for a power Module which is accessed through turing the ignition to On position (don't start the car) then opening the driver side door and pressing the door swithch ten times then turing the ignition to the off position and on again (don't start the car). The module will then cycle through with beep of the horn and then wipers moving then lights flashing and then engine fan operating. This test is the Intelligent Power Distribution module test - IPDM test. You can hear the relays operating. If you have problem such as wipers failing it stops at that failed module and you then know which one it is. You can then disconnect the actual failing component and replace it. On my car it was the dirty contacts in the wiper motor which I removed and cleaned with electical spray and it is now operating fine avoiding a $346 charge for new one. .

You smashed all these jobs. Well done! A true professional. I’m subscribing. All the very best for the future.

Most places would not take the time as you did to repair and replace the individual relay. Top job that and I imagine your customer will be very pleased. 👍🏻

Subbed mate! Always good to see local people giving youtube a bash.

I think you're a genius. Brilliant work!

thanks for the honest content👋👋👋

wow mate i never thought i'd be that interested in a video about a jeep's relays haha. you just got a new subscriber, keep up the good work!

The fact that you identified a very similar issue on the Vauxhall indicates that it is indeed a component failure. Well done for getting to the root of the problem and doing a very reasonably priced repair as opposed to an astronomical dealer repair.

Good lad, you deserve success. Really enjoyed watching that.

Cracking bit of diagnosis and repair!

Well done, its a throwaway world what i dont subscribe too , i like to fix things too, you saved the customer hassle as well as money, again well done pal

Great to see proper mechanics and not just a fitter👍

Fantastic work, very enjoyable video a real Technician .

When I was your age I had a1953 ford Anglia I could do quite a bit to keep it running like the points charge and clean the bushes in the starter motor etc etc but with today’s car I find it hard to change the bulb in a headlight so well done to you were well trained and listened and learned 👏👏👏👏

Excellent service and love th detailed explanation. 👍😁

Great repair saved the customer lots of money the Customer must be very happy with you I had a ford focus with the center locking wouldn't lock unlock or it locked it's self One morning the keys in ignition car engine runing it locked all the doors could nt get in to the car house key was on the car keys so couldn't get spare key from house a real night mare I couldn't get any one to fix the main ecu or replace the hole board

Just found your channel and well done for saving people money from rip off dealers

Well done honest guy, saves money

Great job mate typical manufacturer they don’t want anyone to repair apart from themselves so they can rip the customer off 🤔👏😎

Excellent, 💯..... putting Morals before Money!
