Darren S
I have 8 years of experience in the automotive repair industry. I did my apprenticeship at a garage in London and have done mechanical work ever since. I worked at a garage for a few years after the apprenticeship. I eventually decided to branch off on my own and become an independent mobile mechanic. I now have my own company and I work on a mobile basis. I can work on all makes/models of cars.

To be honest I didn't really get much from it. The advice was to take it to another mechanic. The diagnosis was that it's probably the injectors, because, diesel. However the other mechanic that was recommended was fairly sure that's not the case from the description on the phone.

4 mechanics and 4 different diagnoses. Anyway, it's with the other recommended mechanic now. Hoping for a 5th time lucky.

Reply from Darren:

Thanks for your review on this matter. This was a case of an intermittent fault which given the allocation time of 0.9 hours is almost impossible to give an exact diagnosis on your issue. No fault codes were present I did a live data check but again nothing stood out, I recommended that the injectors get checked out by a specialist given they are a common problem on this make of car and would be a good starting point. Your problem clearly isn't an easy solution given the fact you've had a number of mechanics look and by the sounds of things the specialist didn't want to get involved.

Darren was very friendly, punctual and returned the car to me within 5hrs having done MOT and service. Obviously an MOT pass without any work necessary was also a great result on a 20yr old car!

I wI'll say the work dId not meet my expectations as it is still same situition with the car. The problem was not solved
I had expected a gear specialist who will be willing to take up the task of fixing the gear problem. I had diagnosed the car and was told there was an issue with the gear system. I needed the problem solved and not someone to come check the car and go away leaving the car in the same situation
