Title: blonde in a mk2 driver and mechanics cudn't help...
Post by: [han] on 24 January 2006, 20:02
so this mornin im sat talkin to my car as i usually do while im waiting for her to warm up. Told her that she can have a good clean inside and out on thursday once i've handed all me work in, and that there is a clutch and release bearing in the garage waiting to be fitted soon (prob next weekend)
i pick jess up on the way  and the cars runnin really well. and i'm a happy girl. Come to going home time and jess and i jump in teh car, and turn the key... sweet FA happens, not even a tick over, so being the girl i am i get out and open the bonnet.... for starters i don't even know what im lookin for, but hey jess and i looked anyway! Funnily enough we cudn't see anything and we laughing a lo over the engine bay!
My cuilding is next to mechanics, so out come all of these lads in overalls to ask i they can help. (none were fit - gutted) so they all have a look and say it all seems fine! so that R.A.C turn up.... its a bloody wire come off the starter!

all these mechanic men, none fit and none of them can see a wire off a starter... what do they teach?

haha, all sorted now, and the car flew home! v.happy girl

also college mechanics courses are majorly toss. SO no surprise they couldn't find out what it was. Most probably didn't know what car it was.

College mechanics being crap eh?

Doesnt surprise me, you should be amazed they all managed to walk over to your car without tripping over. Bonus points for them walking to the right end of it.

Post by: omg its aj on 24 January 2006, 22:45
Obviously not too smooth! If they'd of spotted it they could of "repaired" it but made it so it would fall off again in 5 or so minutes, and they could of given u their number to phone if u needed help! :P

im pretty capable tbh, but its safer if someone else does it, as i dont have me own tools, and the stuff in the garage is my bros and my dads and i cant do oit on me own. easier to get someone else and just watcch! lol,
