    Hi Chris, I’ve been watching your videos for a while, me and my old man are just like you and yours we run coaches and buses down in the south west. The old man’s been in the industry since he was 14 and now 66 still going strong doing 70+ hrs a week, it’s great to watch your video and see we’re not the only ones in the struggle and relate to your day to day. Unfortunately I’ve got more time to watch your videos at the moment as I’ve had to put the daily struggle on hold for a bit while I deal with the cancer struggle. My old man came over to see me today and I’d been telling him about you so I put on one of your videos to watch. We had a great laugh knowing how you feel. Thanks for making the videos and keep struggling!
    Dan

    Nice one Chris. Always keep a sense of humour. Whilst repairing a large food packing machine at work i was inundated with all the crew asking how long it would be. I told the team leader the " Giggling pin" was broken. With a straight face they wrote this down in the breakdown log book. All very funny---------until the next day at the morning meeting when the operator stated that they had lost 1.5 hrs whilst i repaired the Giggling pin. I was then asked to explain what this pin was and could i write a procedure to inspect it regularly. 😱😂

    on these jump packs, they auto detect the voltage on the car battery to check the leads are the correct way round. when the your battery is dead it obviously cant. so you have to hold the switch down and override them to turn the jump pack on.

  • @keithianspencer2036
    @keithianspencer2036 Рік тому

    Good morning Chris,
    Your battery has what is more commonly known as a parasitic draw. This is normally caused buy a piece of electrical equipment staying awake during the night. You have to find the piece of equipment causing the problem or the battery will be knackered pretty quick. To do this you will need a digital clamp on ammeter. With everything turned off place the ammeter on the battery cable and see how many amps are being drawn from the battery you will then need to find where that current is going. Do this with your digital voltmeter check the voltage across each fuse. You are looking for a very small millivoltage reading of 2-4 mV or higher. When you find a fuse that is showing a current flow, find out what it is supplying and then try pulling that fuse and see if the parasitic draw falls. You can normally expect a draw of no more than 0.020 amps at the battery. Keep checking all fuses until you are down to the above level and then you will have a good idea what is flattening your battery.
    Quite often the problem is a computer module, like the abs module that has a fault and keeps the ECU awake and alot of other equipment with it. So the fuse test could be difficult to pinpoint the issue. If it is a module you may require a vehicle diagnostics tech to look at the vehicle CAN-BUS to see if it is going to sleep or not, this has to be done with an oscilloscope.
    But if I was you I would do the simple fuse checks first. Try watching "pine hollow auto diagnostics" on UA-cam he's excellent. He also uses a thermal detecting camera to see the heat being caused by the fault. Good luck Keith

    This is the first time I've watched your videos but I knew about you from D&J and then again with B&P. Aren't a copy of Senior Struggler? You're right, we never see Senior Dave on D&J either, I've been following them almost since they started the You Tube stuff. Cheers bud and about swearing, if people don't like it, they don't have to watch it. I was just thinking that sometimes when I watch children might be around me and that could be the reason some people may be complaining. For me, whatever makes you and your channel genuine is what matters, the rest is all talk.
    Cheers and GOD BLESS.

    Great video Chris. Them topdon are good I've got a slightly older one it's called a volcano 1500 it's worked every time I've used it. Mine is about 15 or 16volts fully charged so when the starter kicks in it pulls the voltage down to nearer 12v to start. My m8 used to use his 18v makita battery to jump start his works van two big washers and jump leads the starter pulls the 18 volts down to nearer the 12 and it works if the vehicle starts well. Plus there useful power bank mine has 2x usb and a cigarette lighter socket to plug in. Keep it fully charged it will serve you well m8.

    Hi Chris ....nice to see David dropping off the wood FOC what a great guy and I wish I lived closer as I'd of had some off D and J ....plenty of uses before it turns to heat!!
    Everyone swears and I like swearing ...if people don't (£uck off I say 🤣🤣🤣). It's a working channel this not white collar ....
    As for retirement .... it's wonderful!! Not about staying in bed but not being ruled by your watch or day or trying to cram stuff in .... obviously you won't have the disposable income but if you can see past that a life virtually stress free Is worth 40k less....trust me.
    My two favourite channels ....The Struggler and D and J ...Great people and staff 👍🏻👍🏻 as are B and P ....hard workers and loving the life and the bants!!
    Great vlog ....be safe , be kind

    Wonderful video again Chris! I'm not sure if it would speed up your brake adjusting, but when you have the drum off you could quickly extend the adjuster and check it by putting the drum over the shoes, slip it off, extend, drum on again, check, off, extend and so on instead of having to turn the pesky adjuster with the screw driver the whole way. Just a thought from a sofa in Canada. Cheers!
