    No mention of to clock one, strip entire cluster, nor the fact they fail

    Great product, that’s impling that electric vehicles WILL and do
    Get problems with batteries.

    Offical advise is never open them (bmw, merc) weld the cases
    Clip cell opening it, bye bye workshop.

    Euro pheoy, you will find the part you fitted for last mot from euro
    Needs doing this mot.

    As for mot seen several “brake flexy damaged, advisery”
    And “slight play in bearing” if it’s got play needs replacement or tighing up
    As required.

    We see these things here on GW but never see the branch manager, there only
    6 miles away in the town!

    There the last call we make now, they do ‘odd’ stuff nobody else does, needed
    A current price the other day, the fud would not give it!

    Good point but if a person has a car that fails on
    Say horn only (astra h or pug 307) say and it’s mega bucks

    Fuel and temp gauges that have no scale

    Might as well just have bulbs, too hot, green light for plenty of fuel
    And if it goes out not so plenty of fuel

    Never understand why these companies do these things.

    If a one person garage fine, but when there is more than one member
    Of staff, it’s the boss that doesn’t do any workshop stuff thst will
    Claim it, use it twice on the golf course, then leave it outside
    To get ruined by the rain.

    Should ask “many many people turn up” then ask “how many people work here”
    Should be equally divided by the work force not one person gets all

    Yes what a good idea BEFORE schools open
    Will then knock the “can you do 10am got school run”
    And knocks on the head “need it back 2pm for the school run”

    Will also help a little with “my kid yakked on the back seat this morning “

    Be handy if the sprog seats were removed as well

    Bah humbug.

    Same as before you have to give email address and password
    Stuff that, you don’t know what the questions are about.

    Some of these things are generic, some product specific some
    Vehicle specific. Or even stuff your not trained or interested in.

    Can imagine there being questions relevant to a strap-on scanner
    That nobody has.

    As for euro car parts involvement going to be some right trick
    Questions.

    All relevant to warranty, wrong, used or faulty parts.

    Nah, will pass, if could do the quiz with no email needed would have had a go,
    Needs to be add email afterwards if you wanna.

    Seal the floor with seam sealer, look how simple they are compared to this midern kak.

    “Antony”

    Thanks for your reply,

    1) Have you ever Tweeted Anstead – assuming it’s not you?!!?

    2) Elvis geezer “Ex F1 Mechanic” – just a parts fitter, car comes
    In, unbolt, bolt, send out

    3) Expert, depends on what exactly your reference is to.
    If your meaning damaging to cars, yes EXPERT.

    100% TRUTH NO BS:-

    Had a bmw m3 in super condition, 2 owner E30 etc valued at
    £100k (£80K) dunno A LOT PRISTINE SHOWROOM condition.

    With his oil & filter change he got a free scratch on his
    Passenger mirror with my belt buckle. Never said anything
    So yes EXPERT.

    4) no I don’t think have claimed to lower myself to “mechanic”

    5) Ant’s businesses, the “company” bit was his ex father-in-law’s
    Yes, the amount the solicitation company charged, could have paid
    Some of his debts off

    Think that John Macintosh geezer had right idea
    “You Cannot Be Serious” £228 beer tokens + VAT

    if they get damaged are they scrap? If you loose part
    Can it be replaced?

    Defeats the object, your undoing a M8 nut with this, on ev you
    Think your safe, but there’s some juice still running, you unscrew
    No problem, then you touch said nut and KERR ZAPP like the best chinese
    Fly zapper.

    Would be best if had somekind of led on it, so touching something live
    It lights up, of course it goes faulty then it’s you that lights up.

    Can we see mr err urrm eerrrr himself from imi demonstrating these please

    Great, with farmers and farm vehicles you have no idea
    Which is the cleanest part, inside the cab, engine compartment or chassis.

    All minging with mud, more mud used syringes bullets, live and empty and of
    Course as smelly of sweat like an old XR2i fiesta
