    Rover 600 Diesel – customer wanted four glow plugs fitted
    Last one, diesel pump in way.

    Customer didn’t want to pay for removing and reinstalling pump
    So didn’t do the job, classed as unfixable.

    Today we have your standard Lada Riva 1995
    Failed mot on emissions.

    AFR module under passenger seat, nobody answered the phone at tech support
    Put down to “unfixable” as unit water logged.

    Another one!

    “Reasonably priced Suzuki Liana” “failed mot on airbag light, been
    On 11 months”

    Dealer part only 600 nuggets + VAT.

    Means unfixable as guy only uses it to go fishing in!

    It smells like a fish pond on wheels

    2) hybrid poo-go. Inverter got hole init but no way to
    Tell if will do again. New invertrr more than car worth

    Just had “Zoom” meeting with boss and the other team members
    Of “Team Meat”

    Looks like we got a 1995 Benz in next week, the one with infrared key
    The module in boot full of adblue(r) customer had barrel in the boot
    Got it home, no pig piss in barrel, boot stinks wont start now.

    Not even red/green lights flash! Don’t think the information to remove
    The immolation system is available anymore

    So, unless anybody knows different, another unfixable car
    For scrap

    Just before xmas they had a mk vi gulf in failure of mot on horn
    Nothing else.

    Repair was going to be £66444567887644+VAT

    OR to make safe bodge for mot would have been £1

    Customer declined offer, scrapped the car. Could of had it bodged
    Then traded in with full ticket
