I completed my apprenticeship as a motorcycle and car technician in 1994. The workshops I gravitated towards were more engineering style workshops with good machinery and diagnostic equipment. I moved to a garage in 2007 that also repaired motorhomes and caravans which is where I was first introduced to the habitation side.

​

Regular vehicle work would have been:-

Engine overhauls

Rebore and head skims

Drilling and helicoiling threads

Lathe work

Oscilloscope diagnostics

Engine electrical and electronic diagnosis (not to component level)

Land Rover V8 gas conversaions

MIG welding and brazing

Alarm and tracker fitting

Air conditioning diagnostics and repair

Motorcycle chassis performance tuning for the track

MOT testing

MOT repairs

Brake repairs

Cambelt replacement

Brake pipes

Clutch replacement

Old style points timing

 

I have worked on many types of vehicles including 7.5 ton trucks, canal boats, light aircraft, motorcycles, cars, vans, Busses, fork lift trucks, tractors and of course caravans and motorhomes. I can apply my skills and knowledge to many things.

 

I have completed 3 house renovations by myself which included fitting ring mains and fuse boxes, new central heating system from scratch, plaser boarding, tiling, window and door replacement etc.
