March 1, 2011 - PRLog -- We have all been there. The garage that replaces every single part before it finally hits on the cause of the problem. The mounting labour charges, not to mention the incomvenience of being without your vehicle. The problem has escalated in recent years as vehicles become more computer driven.

Ok, so there are Land Rover fanatics out there running a series 1, doing everything at home themselves and laughing all the way to the bank, but for most Land Rover owners, a mechanical problem usually involves either an expensive trip to a main dealer or an expensive nerve racking trip to a backstreet garage.

That doesnt have to be the case. Computerisation of vehicles is not neccesarily a bad thing. When a modern car goes wrong or when a part fails, the vehicle computer logs a fault and with professional diagnostic equipment that connects to the car ECU (engine control unit) the exact cause, the exact part that is failing, can be seen and simply replaced.

One such company who offer this service is TD5Diagnostics.com who offer a completely mobile diagnostic and repair service. Prices are reasonable considering that they come to you with £45 for a full diagnostic and £30 an hour for labour to fix/replace any parts involved. One added benefit of having a mechanic on your drive is that you can see exactly how long it takes; Steve at TD5 Diagnostics say that "sometimes garages are not being deliberately dishonest, its simply a case that there are distractions in a garage where quite often ten minutes here and there are quite easily lost. If I stop I inform, why should the customer pay for me to take a phone call, smoke a cigarette or eat a pasty". An interesting point of view. How many of us know how long it should take to fit a part? Add into the equasion the call-smoke-pasty scenario and we could be paying for quite a bit extra on top of the already high labour rates.

Steve clearly lives and breathes Land Rover and knows his stuff. He explained his background which is a mixture of computing, communications and mechanics, which given the high-tech nature of vehicles today puts him in a position of knowledge and expertise. When he plugged into my vehicle he discovered a fault which wa present which would affect fuel economy. He showed me where the part was and even told me where I could buy it and the fact I could just plug it in myself.

At this rate, I might just consider keeping my Land Rover past the warranty expiration date!
