Lesson learnt there unfortunately.buckshee said:Just got to rely on them telling the truth then whatever they repair seems to not be fully repaired. Had clutch issues on our car and friend of a friend who’s a mechanic said it was more likely something else so he changed that and it was still not working, changed something else and it’s still not working and also there’s now a noise coming from the engine.It’s now at a garage being looked at, most likely the clutch is fucked which I said from the start and could’ve saved myself a couple of hundred quid and two months. 🤬
If your car has a fault take it to a garage and not a friend of a friend.0 -
My Dad originally trained as a mechanic and was often fixing friends and family’s cars whilst I was growing up. I remember him saying to me a couple of years before he passed that he wouldn’t have a clue now because of how complicated they’ve become.gringo said:
In my many years in the motor trade I have never found that many garage mechanics are particularly intellectual, and I think cars are now becoming increasingly complicated, I can understand how there are so many problems diagnosing issues and faults.buckshee said:Mechanics.Just got to rely on them telling the truth then whatever they repair seems to not be fully repaired.

Walked into a hotel yesterday to syphon the python. There are 3 urinals. The fella that got in there just before me decided to use the middle one which means the next person (me) has to rub shoulders with him while we both do our bizz. Just use the end one and I'll use the other end one then if someone else walks in and uses the middle it is what it is.4

I worked for DAF Trucks for over 20yrs, When I first entered the motor trade at Stormont Eng (Ford Trucks)in Thamesmead in 1973, the mechanics needed to know a little about hydraulics, a little about electrics , and have some basic engineering skill, and be able to "sus" things out.buckshee said:

When I left the motor trade last year, this had moved on to understanding chemical reactions across a
Cat Converter. Air brake technology.ABS/EBS(Changing the Brake system program parameters etc) ECAS suspension systems, LDWS, AIR CON Traction Control . Telemetrics. CAN/LAN systems.Construction and Use Regs, Lighting regs. TfL Safer Lorry Scheme . All pretty technical.Along with the paperwork, so quite a few technicians are no mugs.
DAF used some diagnostic equipment called DAVIE, (DAF ADVANCED VEHICLE INVESTIGATION EQUIPMENT)
when the vehicles were booked in if the vehicle required electronic investigation people were told,
"There maybe a wait for DAVIE" Many drivers and customers would come in and ask for DAVIE as if it was a person.

I saw a programme a fair few years ago (Im sure that she can't do it know!) where she used to just turn up at fan club members houses with birthday presents etc. She came across as very natural.cafcnick1992 said:
I get it tbh. She is a good songwriter and doesn't come across as "manufactured".Karim_myBagheri said:cafcnick1992 said:Yay a new Taylor Swift album that will be endlessly on repeat at home
It baffles me how that shrew face country singer became such a global icon.
Good luck to her I guess but back then I really didn't see it coming.0 -
Thanks for the suggestion CE, but it doesn't appear scratched at all in fact quite pristine.Covered End said:
Is your screen scratched/your see through screen cover scratched?Six-a-bag-of-nuts said:My digital season ticket.
By nice if the scanner read it without me having to move it around for what seems like minutes on end.
What's even more annoying is that it reads my son's digital ticket immediately every time.
I know what you are thinking and I started to think it myself, but my son tried with my one last week and had the same problems as me. Tried his own, boom!
Frankly I am going back to card version next season
I had this iss ue with tickets in general until I realised the problem.
Add to that the fact that I regularly travel by train using digital tickets and never have a problem getting the bar code read either by the guard or at the barriers.

Attached a new digital ticket/barcode with an assurance that the new one doesn't work they will supply a phsical season ticket card.
Top work by the club and thanks for the suggestion4 -
The online system for appeals to Blackwall Tunnel fines.
Each time I hit the "Submit" button I was returned to the home screen.
I sent it three times and now have a letter telling me I didn't respond to the original letter. WTF?
Legalised robbery.

The Voltarol advert where the bloke rubs it on his back and then goes skate boarding with his son. This is more than a tad irresponsible and very silly imo.

For most it won't annoy and doesn't really even do me in much.
though this song for others is huge. Heard it enough and so I will let it loose on the cl mass.
This song for a number of reasons has reached peak enjoyment but also getting to peak irritation...
Rose (some hot blonde from Korea. Not the somewhat nice wine) with her catchy hit APT...
Plus she says something about loving her tit.

Just had three days up in the Lake District.
Got back to my car, parked along from Rydal Water around midday today, and find someone had hit my car with a nasty bit of damage, and no note left!!0 -

Doesnt look like it, as was parked up in a Woodland Car Park, I've submitted a Crime Report with the police to see if that gets me anywhere.Covered End said:

Imagine as well with the area so sparsely populated, that CCTV isnt potentially as common as other areas of the country.0 -

That should be in the things that make make you murderously angry
If someone has done that by accident they should be owning it and paying for it. If its deliberate, I hope they have a painful death by bumbum and thats not an exaggeration. Even accidentally, anyone hitting stationary objects bothers me and its one thing being thick and hitting a wall, lamp post etc but hitting someone's vehicle. It just fucks things up for the owner of the vehicle, you've reported that, got a crime number so that will count negatively regarding insurance. It will not get the police to investigate.
What it does do though is remind me that the police should treat reports of "Someone said something I dont like on twitter" the same. Take the report and issue a reference number then do nothing else0 -
