BlockedHere is a company you order a part dont need it until after lunch
Or even tomorrow, twenty minutes later it turns up, parks in middle of yard leaving engine running.Then going past the other way is another of their vans.
So inefficient at times. Often see when on road test two or more
Vans same place#fuds

BlockedWhy do these companies expect you to need the latest technologies and carry their parts on the shelf.
Folks should not be so impatient. It breaks, you have to wait
For it to be fixed.You dont fly to usa and ask after an hour if they can nake arrival tine
Any quicker.You break your or someone else’s arm doctor says six weeks, do you ask if they dan fix it any quicker.
Why do people even buy a spanking new vehicle and then get stuff fitted aftermarket!
If companies made stuff to last would be no problem. Like central heating boilers
DESIGNED to last five years then scrapMeat-Head
BlockedGreat, I went to a garage to fix a fault, vehicle had had two airflow meters new £400 and used £150 the mechanics there had a Strap-On scanner, they all had been on the Stap-On course.
I looked at the fault code, then asked for a large rag, was pointed to manky
Pair of overalls, wacked them up the wall, stuffed said overalls in airfilter with engine still running, carried on, bent down crack in intercooler size of small stone! They got a grunt, and was someone else’s problem.Not always worth the effort!

BlockedGreat, here, lets have a virtual demo, look new BMW top of the range, got 50 miles on the clock, front bumper, got skimmed by a piece of wood in B&Q carpark, trolley
Full of wood, just ever so SLIGHTLY damage, paint it, oh no we cant MUST have new bumper, £1500 for new bumper minimum, if you paint it no ADASOK, next virtual demo, 1995 ford mondeo, bumped in aldi carpark
By someone in a £20k vw – clutch safety switch – owner though
Was out of gear, engine running clutch up WHAM – your mine.
Oh mondeo bumper, designed to shatter, unbolt and away.Ok, virtual demo on ADAS, customer just brought the car last week, had small impact with bicycle in garage, new bonnet and front bumper, nothing lines up
Nothing fits, nothing works, almost like the owner got it cheap because of a previous accident badly repair, dropped his bike on it & paid his access.Euro’s you say, will any of it work at all, does it have lifetime warranty?
Meat-Head
BlockedGreat stuff
1) is the thermostat – it has to have something- is it a piece
Of wax that melts when hot?
2) how easy is it to change said thermostat?
3) what is service life for this engine?
4) if they overheat like ecoboost, does block split and catch fire?
5) how much heat – adding to global warming?
6) if a small furry animal builds a nest is it a larger fire hazard?
7) long grass more of a fire hazard?
8) service intervals?
9) what are cost of replacing parts?
10) who designed it, would they have one and want to work on one?December 17, 2020 at 5:52 pm in reply to: Stop using manufacturer-owned service books, say independent sector experts #205834Meat-Head

BlockedPheeoey cant be that professional if there giving incentives out for sales of batteries.
Encouraging garages to sell peasants off street new batteries just
To get free lunch – yes ok had it ourselves sold some old biddies a battery
That it ‘didn’t need’, but as soon as your spun starter every module stored a code
Chance of corruption of modules, but was valid sale.As for testing, charge it, leave it 12 hours stood, then hit it with 100 amp load for 15 seconds or just incase ‘odd situation’ if drops below 9 volts it’s gubbed.
Then leave load tester on bench to cool so the red hot Asbestos dont take paint off the wall – again.
