Customer with a BMW 2.0d timing chain failure came in today asking if the cost could be cut as he wants to sell it once its done, explained at length that there were no short cuts and I didn't fit loads of new parts because I didn't get much for Xmas as a kid, he asked if the head could just be refitted (even after valve to piston contact) said I suppose it could but you'll have to find some muppet to fit it because I won't. Getting the same old "my mate says" so I ask what his mate does, fits windows evidently
Thats going to be some wait, there is that company that makes parts new - nice machines but the engine is bloody big!! And so you should! could of been worse no one might of noticed for 12 months, I seen that before years ago I did PDI the wrong car, same colour wrong spec & wrong fuel! - a sales man put the wrong key number in the car - I didn't check the chassis number ,I should of known by the paper work, wasn't until I'd seen badge on the back after it parking up - older wiser, and can't remember how to PDI
PDI, PDI, PDI, PDI, PDI all I've bloody done last 2 weeks, someone loves the Hyundias!! lol Someone was saying they did 1st MOT on a 3yr old Golf and it had different plates F&R lol
We sold 40 white and 40 black MK1 cabs to a leasing company, the YTS lad was given 80 sets of plates and 80 job sheets, instead of fitting the correct plates to match the chassis number he just fitted them on the first cars he found, caused a bit of grief lol
No pics, but had an 08 plate Galaxy in the garage today 'been making a funny noise' since the driver ran over something on the motorway... A WEEK AGO! That'll be your OSF brake disc snapped in half then sir... (all the vents have snapped!)
I had one a few weeks back. A freelander complete with kiddy seats in the back and two neatly cut seat belts, one had been stitched together with a bit of cotton, the other had been glued together. Both (unsurprisingly) fell apart with minimal force and the owner complained because I had failed them. Unreal.
