Title: I hate that feeling!
Post by: Rmachines on 16 April 2012, 13:39
When you have just done a cambelt or a big job on an engine (i have just put a new head on a focus) And everything is all back together..... And your about to turn the key for the first time! 

As much as i double check everything,  and despite the fact this is my job and i do these things every day,  the moment i turn that key still bloody sh*ts me up  :grin:  And to top it off this time the battery was flat  :rolleyes:

lol!  Well it worked fine!  I had 4 left over bolts, turns out they were off the old head, so that's fine.

I call spare bolts wee bits,  they go weeeee over my shoulder.  :grin:

Think yourself lucky, i work for a large haulage firm and one of the DAF XF's had to be towed to a main dealer over the weekend because our on site workshop had put a new set of brake pads in.........back to front..................new discs/calipers/carriers and associated pipework because the whole lot had got too hot..
