Driver complaint:❌ Pulling while driving❌ Steering wheel sitting off-centre❌ Constant correction needed on the motorway Hooked up the new JOSAM camera alignment system and straight away the numbers told the story 📸 BEFORE:➡️ Left toe: +27.6mm➡️ Right toe: -18.9mm➡️ Steering box: -23.2 AFTER adjustment:✅ Total toe: +0.6mm✅ Steering box: +0.1✅ Wheel sitting straight again Swipe through the photos and tell me… 👇 Which way would YOU expect this truck to pull from those initial readings? 👇 Always interesting seeing how different techs read alignment data before even driving the vehicle.

Ever had an IVECO Daily come in with flashing mileage on the dash and weren’t sure where to start? This is one of the most common causes I’ve found. First checks: - Loose connections behind dash or under bonnet - Fuses, relays & connectors - Battery voltage and voltage drop Bear in mind these use a smart charge system, so charging voltage may not increase at idle until the vehicle is driven. I always recommend checking charge rate during a road test. While inspecting wiring, I found corrosion inside the TCM (Trailer Control Module) connector. Plugged into JALTEST diagnostics for further investigation, which confirmed the TCM fault. Replaced and reprogrammed the TCM — fault rectified and another happy customer 😀 Worth noting: Not all diagnostic tools can perform the programming procedure, so dealer-level programming may sometimes be required. Anyone else had flashing mileage caused by something completely different?

JALTEST VS TEXA Let’s have a vote! Let me know what you think is the better diagnostic computer?

Driver reported sudden loss of power straight after hitting a pothole. Van came in stuck in limp mode with warning lights on. Started by checking for any visual damage under and around the vehicle, With the vehicle being in limp mode I plugged in diagnostics to see what it came back with. Diagnostics pointed towards The intercooler temp sensor & turbo BUT instead of throwing parts at it, I did a bit more digging… After further investigation in to the system, I found a 6mm vacuum pipe had rubbed through! Replaced the vacuum pipe, reset the codes and test drove! It’s easy to jump straight to replacing parts, but sometimes a hard knock or vibration is all it takes to trigger an existing weak point. Few pics below from the job 👇 Always worth checking the simple stuff first before throwing parts at it. 🤙🏼 Anyone else had pothole/vibration faults cause weird issues?
