Right sorry for all the posts but just checking my new photo site works 

[Webby the Bear]

So I THINK I finally got this photo 'dangle berries' sorted 

First job in today.... DPF pressure sensor on a 2.5 Transporter. I didn't diagnose this. I was on my own today so was just following part fitting orders today.

There are two pipes (I believe) coming out of the DPF and they go to rubber hoses up through the back of the engine up to the sensor up top just behind the orange connector on this photo....



A close up... held to a bracket by a T30. One electrical connection. And two hoses connecting to the sensor....



Cleared the fault code. Sent it on its way 

Then a set of pads on a Volvo V40 "R". Basically just a Ford set up.... two x 7mm Allen for the slide pins. Inner pad pushes in to the calliper piston. And a big anti-rattle spring clip....


And then finally as I had pretty much fek all in I gave my dog a full service 



No plugs or fuel filter as I replaced them earlier this year. So today was oil, filter, air filter and cabin filter. I was surprised that the air filter that came out after a year had virtually no debris in it. Yet the cabin filter (also fitted a year ago) was full of shite! Lol

Tyre pressures, coolant top up  , pas fluid was bang on and 5L of washer fluid. DONE!

So the lads. Been a manic week so far. And am in 6 days. Grrrr.

Had three cars in this week that needed the following stupid Citroen droplinks....



I don't bother trying to buzz them off. No point. Three cuts and they're off.

They attach to the lower arm and then to the ARB... the hole left....


Then a rear wheel bearing on a Nissan note. Piece of piss. Drum off. Circlip out...


Then press the old one out....


Normally these come out with around 4K tons of force. This one decided it wanted 9k ton of force. Very squeaky bum time 

The old one the rubber had broke away. Possibly from a garage before (not us) over tightening the nut 

Then clutch bleed on an old Volvo P summat or other

Hi guys, haven't been about much. A death inthe family and just generally working my testicles off.  managed to take a few photos though of some random jobs I've done.

So vw's most stupid pollen filter (2015 golf 'R'). Got to remove the glovebox which isn't normally a problem. Except they tuck the glovebox trim under the trim for the console and that doesn't want to be parted. When you do get the glovebox out you're greeted with every single wire the car uses and have just enough adds for the filter. Idiots.


A newish Audi A4 for wing mirror replacement. Sadly the door trim had to come off as the wiring for the mirror connects behind the door card. But as it's Audi the card pops back on nicely.


Front pads on a merc summat or other. Same set up as the omega rears.


Then on a lovely Sunday I went and watched this idiot win the British gp. Normally only go to practise but saved up and went to race day this year. Absolutely loved it. Kimis tyre blow out as right in front of us. And thenvettel had his on luffield so we saw him coming round with sparks flying off 


Ac compressor replacement on a golf. The old unit wasn't a surcharge oddly so decided to take it apart 😀


Condenser on a fiat grande punto. Bumper off. Undo lines. Uncoil it from its plastic housing. Easy

All interesting stuff especially the gizzards of the compressor.

Glad you enjoyed the F1.
