Like always, thank you for watching!
Well done for fixing the LED, most people would just say it needs a new instrument cluster, 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Great video highlighting the extent some people will go to rather than admit they cant fix a fault . Well done Luis for fixing this bodged up repair properly .
Thanks!
👍👍👍
It’s crazy what you find fixing cars my friend, it would much easier to fix the car properly instead they choose to bodge I don’t get it ... top work 👍🍻
I don't get it either... but... 🤷♂️
Thanks Igor!
👍👍👍
Probably because they are not clever enough to fix it?
I have same car I think which is Nissan Micra K13 2012, I just replaced it with used horn that bought on eBay, it simply works, I am lucky today indeed. thank you so much
😊
👍👍👍
Excellent how complete your workmanship is. I really admire you never ever taking the shortcuts like most other guys do. Hope you got your money back for the "new" part. Thanks for your efforts in sharing your knowledge.
Yes... I did go my money back...😊
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍
It never seases to amaze me why ppl do rediculus things! And such an easy repair. Well done figuring it out
🤷♂️
😊
Thanks!

It's like u r a Pro mechanic, so before a problem comes to u there will be someone already being messing.
Love from India 🇮🇳
A lot of the times... yes!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
you have the patience of a saint my friend its like these people are giving you these jobs as last resort anyway well done yet again
excellent concise explanation of your thought process and eventual repair
😇
Thanks!
👍👍👍
One thing to note is that you are correct when saying that new clock springs come centered however that is not always the case with Nissans. I have had brand new ones bought from the dealer that were not centered and also the sales guy said something that confirmed my hypotysis:” tell your mechanic to be extra carefull when fiiting as they arr very sensitive, our technicians broke a few new ones”. Good thing is that I always center them even if new and to my surprise I found two from Nissan that were not and if I was to fit them like that at the first full lock it would have broke.
👍👍👍
Great fix. I knew the radio controls were not working before you mentioned the customer asking. Also typical sticking starter. The cowboys who been there before, don't care. Sad you can't say who the Ebay seller is. The seller if honest mistake, should check their stock before dispatch. Looks like a return that was switched! I use a seller based in Surrey, and they are reliable.
Ranting is allowed.
Good work. 👍🏾
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Wow that was a tough job. Bet you were glad to see that car gone! Well done.
As well...
But had worse... much worse...
(Stay tuned....😉)

I think you forgot to reset the maintenance light, peace and love from Morocco 🇲🇦 you are the best 👌

THAT WAS A GOOD ONE , I LIKE THE STRAIGHTFORWARDNESS OF THE VIDEO AND I LEARNED SOMETHING ALSO,,, THANKS FOR YOUR TIME !!!
👍👍👍
Thanks!
something like that is no longer normal, I know a case in court, for attempted bodily harm ... Super Video :)
Unfortunately is still norm around here...
There is more videos coming on similar "masking" problems...😔
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

@@LMAutoRepairs is like all the guys in that work in slaughterhouses in your area started a side business "fixing" cars .. Deep down they dont care, because they know if they mess up, they said "no worries, Luis will fix it"
😋
👍👍👍
One day that aggravation will turn into satisfaction Luis . I might piss off some people , but these DIY screw ups that I have to do over are a nice source for me to charge extra . Yes , extra . Take it or leave it . The investment I have to make to stay up to date and actually repair something in a professional way needs to come from somewhere and this is for sure not coming from my regulars . I am totally honest with those " victims " . Paying me is still cheaper than going to a dealership .
Correct...
👍👍👍
I felt your pain there Luis. Why can't people just fix things properly instead of bodging things, making it all worse and dangerous!
🤷♂️
Go figure...
😊
Thank you for watching!
Thanks Luis Great Video! How much would it cost roughly for a fix like this? Great content, keep up the good work!
Not a lot... was just a bad clock spring...
Well... and the "debodging"... lol...
👍👍👍
Another great video and great explanation.
I come across this sort of thing all the time, it’s so frustrating when the effort that goes into the bodge is more than the effort needed to fix the problem in the first place.
Keep up the good work. :-)
Absolutely!
👍👍👍
this looks like a backstreet garage repair, to sell a broken car bought at auction, along with a 'compliant' mot garage who doesnt look too closely. no one has got devious enough to wire the led to another LED that does function and turn off...ive seen that with oil light on old car , wires tandem to charge light, to hide chronic low pressure
👍👍👍
that would be true if people used their brains. Clearly it does not happen. Also, is this particular case it could have pretty serious consequeces... Imagine that the car got into anaccident? .. not good
Thank you for sharing your experience. It definitely isn't easy to open the plugs for some people. They will not find the way to open it but will just use brute Force. Removing or opening clips should be mandatory training for a technician.
😊
LoL
Thanks!

This flex cable fault was a renault chronical and we see that straightly transfered to Nissan.old japanese nissans never had that false.
👍👍👍
eBay is really hit or miss on auto parts but what’s really astonishing is that the Nissan owner paid twice to have this repaired. The hacks who worked on that previously are everywhere and it’s a shame.
In the past I always ask for my old parts back and inside the packaging the new parts came out off. If the

Great work Bro👍
I've seen many terrible repairs (well actually those are not repairs, they're temporary shortcuts of an unprofessional person) & honestly, my mind goes crazy while fixing the mess😉
Stay Safe Bro👍

Getting the negative dot wrong ruined the whole video for me! Only joking, BOOM your a genius, well played.

I really wonder if the "experts" that do the damages to the cars you work on even know you post videos of their "nice jobs", and how to really fix them.
Great videos as always. And do not feel bad or aggravated when you find these type of niceties, is not worth it. I have found to many in my life, and still keep finding them. Nowadays I "yell" ( I can bare hear myself "yelling"), and in a few seconds just continue, cause what matters is the fix you make, not the crap an useless made. Always tell others what you find.
😊
Not sure... but who knows they do...
It is a small world...
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Top Work Louis. Well done for sticking at it.
😊
Thank you!
Mechanic for 45 years and still counting and I really hate it when I have to repair a previous repair done badly sometimes shockingly badly and the sad thing these people are in our trade and earning good money probably more than you or I earn and they just get away with it time after time. I hate to think what that repair would have cost at the dealership!!
Could not agree more!
👍👍👍
ABS light on my golf was removed, was wondering why it was not going on when ignition is on. Haha
I'm surprised it passed its M.O.T.
Great video, watching you is so good. Seeing what others have added to the job even better but not to you probably. Ah 2nd hand eBay parts worth their weight in 💩
🤣🤣🤣
Sometimes they do...
👍👍👍
Another botched one!! i would be livid!!! Luis, understand that buying from ebay puts more money in everyones pocket (yours and the customers). I am sure that you have great success with this method, but I believe its just not worth it, if you can find it at local parts store / dealership... Because parts take forever to arrive and when they arrive broken, you need to send it back, they analize it and send you a new one (if they dont try to argue). To me is just not worth the hassle . I go to the local parts store / dealership and buy it right away or orderit to the same day or next day the most. And if the part is DOA, is much easier to take care of it.... Not trying to tell you how to run your shop or telling you whats is right or wrong, as I am a small DIYer. Just sharing my thoughts. Also in the end of the video you said you were going to ask the guy for the money back. You should use paypal. you probably do and was just a way of speaking. But if you dont, just use it. They will refund you first and ask questions later.. Great video as usual! keep up the good work!
I am just like you a DIYer... no shop here...😋
Apart from dealers, I had issues with faulty parts from local shops as well... like Euro Carparts and alike...
I published a video on a Vauxhall rocket case cover showing just that...
I would happily buy always from the dealers... As you said, less assle etc...
But not every car owner is willing to pay for that...
Specially the ones that you explain what the faulty part is, and the first thing they do is grab the phone and see how much is on eBay...🤷♂️
I am sure you know what I mean...😋
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs I know exactly what you mean!! And I have seen the video on the Astra, as I do with all your videos. Your videos are to Sundays as cozido is to Wednesdays 😂 my point was that is not worth the trouble in my opinion. Made the comment, because if someone reads it and decides to take the "right" approach, is worth it. Now, switching gears completely, do you have any videos coming on the m5? Would love see content on that, even if it's regular maintenance a v10 is always a v10 :D what about rod bearings on it? Any plans on that?
Excelente trabalho Luís! Sempre à espera do vídeo de Domingo de manhã.
Um abraço de Viana!
Obrigado!

Nice video my mate, you're good on your work. Congratulations 👏

Great video and repair, don't you just love cleaning up after work done by amateurs and idiots. Seems to be that's happening more and more nowadays, people can't grasp that it's costing them more in the long run.
Both very true...😊

Nice video
Thanks!

I have a problem on my Micra K12 where LHS part of the steering horn works but the RHS part of the steering when pressed there is no horn sound. Could this be a bad horn relay/connection or steering switch? Any help will be greatly appreciated?
I would guess the steering switch, behind the airbag...
But you need investigate...
👍👍👍
Hello, i have a question, there is diference between autel and bosch kts, and how about maxidas vs maxisys.
And from where you got the long thin probes for the uni t .
thanks partner from Spain a Uruguayan
Great video again .... yep , a lot of "mechanics " fix the airbag issues like this because they dont understand the system. . . nice work. i´m a little confused why you put a red LED in the dash, in my country the Airbag light is Yellow ,,, but tomato tomato ...... by the way , i see that you are using the maxisys in a lot of your videos , and i want to buy one my self . what version is it you use ? because there is a lot of versions on ebay . Again thx for yor videos ;)
I have seen them in both... orange/yellow and red...
I am using the MS908P
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
👍👍👍
Nice fix! Will the owner of the car report the person that crippled the airbag system to the authorities?
Doubt...🤔
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

@@LMAutoRepairs absolutely unbelievable when when there is people out there like this putting peoples life in danger the customer doesn't care but at my garage if I under inflate someone's tyre by a couple of psi they threaten me with trading standards ...... What have we come to
🤷♂️
I know...
what a ______ job, well done mate, ... just occasionally there will be a job like that, the only thing to do is to get to the end of it because it makes you feel as if you failed if you give up ***** five star. yes I did five stars but it only shows 3
Very true as well...

Thanks!
Agora só falta veres esse maldito motor de arranque.
Seria um excelente video!

So the customer is calling so much it drives you crazy? You are a professional and do the job faster than most, so how crazy would this customer drive everyone else that doesn’t know what they are doing? Ahh, life of modern mechanics
LOL
Not wrong there...😊

2 minutes in I think I know this one. Broken sqib / steering angle sensor / slip ring ???

Great fix Louis, u also need to be a detective!
Thank you as always 🤗

The A pillar trims hold the top section of the dash in place. 2 minute job to remove then top of dash comes off easily. I have to remove them because I'm the world champion at dropping screws. Customers always deny knowing about tape or leds in the clocks. Too tight to spend 20 quid on eBay for a new clock spring. IT (idiot tax) time. U just have to be careful with the cheap eBay units because the white plug can be tight going in and it usually needs a tiny chamfer. Don't you just love jobs like this.
😊
Love jobs like this...😋👌🤔
👍👍👍
I always try and buy stuff off ebay as they protect the buyer and its really easy to get your money back. Tbh I am really scared to replace my almost 20 year old car with something else that someone has messed about with. Stick with the old reliable car that is well maintained by myself until it comes to the end of its life ?
A 20-year-old car is worthless. That's its greatest strength. You don't care if someone dings it in a car park, you don't care how many miles you put on it. Main point though, you aren't paying for depreciation.
Thank you for your efforts where can I get off line wiring diagram
There is many different ways...
Most are paid... but a bit of googling and you can find some stuff free...😉
Thank you for watching!
If it’s one time you are better off paying. Those free sites are often full of malware and constant pop ups that are risky. Just my experience
dont suppose you have the reg for this car i would like to study the wiring diagram on horn circuit to compliment your upload plz
No... not the reg...

I’m an auto electrician in Cumbria and I see stuff like this all the time as for broken connectors this really pisses me off just idiots that don’t know what they are doing and start prying and pulling until they come apart all be it broken. 😡

Frustrating...

because thay make 278 types of connectors :)

Very nice diag & fix. There are some cowboys out there. So annoying to those of us with any professionalism at all seeing people getting ripped off by these clowns.

Did they take it to Halfords?

Halfords have a reputation of being really poor auto electricians.
i have error codes 01130 & 01486 on Yeti Elegance 4x4 2011 model 140BHP, and unable to clear the codes.
if i pressing brake peddle and clearing the codes - 01130 goes off but 01486 unable to clear.
i followed procedures to clear 01486 code, but when i move the vehicle a bit- all error codes come back.
I have OBDEleven device..plz help me clear the codes
You must have started a function test at some point...
You now must to successfully compete it, or you can't clear that code...

Thanks for fast reply
Well... have you coded the pump etc?
@@LMAutoRepairs thats alredy done.👍
If the procedure is not completing successful, something else is wrong, or you are missing something during the test...
They have too much time to make such a big trouble. Why, why, why??? It is easier to fix properly on first time. Yes it takes time to source the replacement parts
Absolutely...

Not sure when you made this however since the lockdowns there have been many more scams around.
You will find the ebayer will be very cooperative and will give you money back without any fuss at all (they may not even want you to return the part). They will probably give you a convincing story of how the parts got swapped over usually along the lines of being done by their supplier.
However, I suspect they deliberately misrepresent an item knowing only a small percentage complain so they can significantly increase their incomes by playing the risks.

Interesting....
This was a bit before any lockdowns...

Why would they ruin such a good car are all those fuses meant to missing from that small Fuse box .
🤷♂️
Good question...
👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs my guess is that they were hammering at the wheel to get it off and snapped the taps that hold the stuff inside hence why it came in 2 how could you not see the obvious spot for the screwdriver to go in.
I wonder did the customer not want to pay for a good shop to do the job or did the shop just pretend like the know there stuff when they obviously don't I don't know how you cope with the crap I'd lose my temper and give up .
😋
It is frustrating at times, and challenging... I think is this last one that I "enjoy"...
