Went to play with this VW beetle based buggie this evening.

Unable to get it to fire in, fiddled with the dizzy, points and solenoid. Figured out the wiring and firing order.

Managed to find a spark after volt testing and power probing items, put the battery on battery support then fine tuned to find the cough.

Once in the ballpark of the sweet spot dialed and fired into like, albeit a little lumpy and happy but the customer now knows what steps to take next now life has been found 😎

Went out to this Scoda Fabia this afternoon for a handbrake adjustment, the customer needed the throw of the handbrake lever to be lowered due to excess travel.

So I adjusted the front nut to tighten the cables and reduce the height on the handbrake lever when active. 🤓

Attended this Toyota CH-R hybrid today for a jumpstart in Wellington.

The 12v battery is faulty, therefore we've made plans for me to attend again tomorrow morning for a battery replacement 💪

Carried out the recovery of this Volkswagen T4 Transporter today, from Newquay to Bristol.

Customers went on their holiday to Newquay last week and broke down 10miles away from their destination, AA recovered them to their destination, then told them they won't assist further as they already attended for onwards travel.

So the owners had no choice but to find an alternative for recovery home, that's where I came into play 💪

Called to Chippenham this evening for this Sinnis Terrain 125cc Motorbike.

Taking it back to BA2 (Bath) home for the owner, after he'd just bought it due to his other motorbike being an insurance write off after someone revered into it when it was parked up.

Having ridden the replacement motorbike only a few miles down the road, he was forced to call for recovery as the front forks were bent and the bearing in the front wheel was collapsed buckling the disc against the caliper causing drag and a violent wobble 🫣.

Much safer to recover and fix then to continue riding ✌️

A delightful recovery today, contracted by Howards Hyundai Taunton to collect this Hyundai i20 from Minehead and transport it back to Hyundai Taunton for repairs.

Makes me happy to know even the vehicle manufacturers are contacting me for assistance.

Safe to say, all my recoveries are handled with the utmost care and attention and each vehicle is transported as if it was my own pride and joy on tow, so hopefully I will hear more from Hyundai and other manufactured in the future 🤓

Called out to this Volkswagen Golf today in Exeter with running issues.

The customer was on holiday returning home when the check engine light and coil light came on reducing the engine power and causing the engine to judder.

They pulled over and asked for help, turns out it's got the dreaded 1.6ltr Tdi common rail 🫣. So can hazard a guess at what failed..

Yep, an injector! Surprised... Not

So I recovered it to their home to Dorchester so the customer can arrange for repairs a little later down the line.

A late/early jumpstart on this Ford Focus this morning/last night in OJ Gym Carpark

The battery test shows a lack of voltage to be able to spin the engine fast enough to fire in. Needed a little help with my Anderson leads.

The alternator checks afterward to make sure the battery was receiving an adequate charge, that it was.

So recommend running to charge and to check all lights, interior and exterior to make sure nothing was accidentally left on that could have been drawing power.

Copart collection today.

BS10 - BS5 recovery for this little Renault Clio, the new owner bought it to repair then use as his first car.

Decent way to do it in all fairness, cheap and cheerful and he can learn along the way and if he breaks it, no love is lost 😎
