Echo all of that !!

I can't see how changing a Cam sensor is going to cost you more than £20 ?????????????????????????? If it still pops the code after that then yeah, may be chain stretched, but that is more a Vauxhall and Nissan thing rather than Toyota Edit, Just priced Cam Sensor, 3 options, £17.00, £22.00 or £96.00, still hardly a fortune though, but i can't be more specific without Reg / VIN

Exactly, get it read on PP for codes, generics may not see everything !! Got a V8 Jaguar in at the moment, customer is a dick and doesn't understand that "Restricted Performance" can mean anything, it's just a message to say their is "Fault(s)" that need adressing and it has stuck itself in Limp Mode ..................... This particular pillock is priceless, almost a year ago he told me it can't be an Engine fault because it goes like a rocket, and he didn't want me to charge him for a diagnostic !! I fucked him off out of it, he is one of the few locals who is an arse. It's never been right since he got it, and I could tell it was only on 7 cylinders just by listening to it back then Anyway long story short, it's been to umpteen garages and finally came back here yesterday, and said pillock with his tail between his legs ...................... It's had a whole bunch of bits it didn't need ................... MAF, Throttle body, Lambdas etc etc, over the last year I plugged it into JLR and whadda ya know ??? #5 (E) Ignition Coil and a set of plugs for good measure ................ Sweet as a nut !! By fuck, you should see the bill I've given him

Scumtree ones do

/\ /\ /\ LOL Just remember they give a false sense of security because they pull away and feel secure in all the Ice etc, but they still don't stop any quicker, and still have a limit of adhesion round a corner ................ You wouldn't believe how many times I've had various 4X4's go blasting past me doing 50mph in the snow with my Van etc, then I get down the road 10 minutes to find said twat upside down in a ditch after bouncing off a rock face ........................ Happened 2 days ago that one Land Rover 110 Defender Crew Cab Fellas in Raigmore now

In the house Oil Fired C/H and 1 open fire that we seldom use these days, it looks lovely but is a PITA with the mess now Mel works. Workshop has 2 x 3KW Electric Industrial Fan Heaters which keeps chill off everything, and stops stuff going rusty (tools, parts etc), but this weather I use the large Propane Space Heater to keep it topped up toasty during the day, as the main Workshop half of the Building is not insulated, and doors opening and shutting during the day I plan on insulating it this summer, plus adding a high 3 sided "Car Port" at the front with another lift in it and put Tyre machine / Balancer out there

OH man, I wish I had a bloody edit button, /\ /\ /\ that's a right mess now OK, let's try this piccies shit again I've got a funny noise coming from the front of the E Class says my customer yesterday https://pixhost.to/show/142/95576011_sam_1538.jpg Nope that shit didn't work Lets try this OK, better, now I'll fiddle with this, <a href="https://pixhost.to/show/142/95576015_sam_1539.jpg"><img src="https://t28.pixhost.to/thumbs/142/95576015_sam_1539.jpg" alt="sam_1539.jpg" border="0"/></a> FFS, looks like ............... ................. Is the best I can do right now, so if I send ya all a technical how to fix it pic, you'll just have to click it to see "the full picture" Cheers Dave

LMFAO, now you know fine well that should have read " We were all drunk in the Hot Tub" and not we all pissed in the fuckin think

Ahh right, no space between emoji and link, just need to get 'em bigger next time ........................ Any advice ?

Just wanted to see if my piccies work now, this is the View from the rear of our gaff this morning, very hard frost today, it's around -11 right now outside brrrrrrrrrrrr http:// Hmmm, not quite what I was expecting, I'll try again with something else laters !!

Exactly this, and believe me, PP is one of the easiest Dealer Level machines to use. Note:- just because the Car says DPF message does not mean it is actually choked. My money is on the Pigs Piss Tank / Pump. The first 2 Snap On Machines spoken of above probably had older software, the one that finally did it was probably up to date ............... I have just had my Solus Ultra Pro brought bang up to date over my Xmas Hols, and it is now doing a helluva lot more, the old software would often proclaim to do this that and the other but it didn't, whereas now it actually seems to do "what it says on the tin" So to those of you with Snap On, who may be a bit like I was, i.e getting fed up with it's shortcomings, getting it updated was worth the £600 ;).

Renewal notice arrived today, they still haven't cashed the Cheque though

LMFAO We've not physically met yet and Nick knows me only too well I'm not actually sure that would sell well up here, all the crofters love 4X4 Crew Cab Trux

Fuck that !!

Get an account or buy on line with RS Components, I never have a problem getting micro switches for 2 to 5 % of what most Main Stealers want

LOL I think his wife was the one who suffered he'd have to use his other hand now

Same here, I've a couple up here who are now good mates, and they never mind spending for a decent job

Gets right up my arse that sort of statement So you expect a guy with this knowledge and all the necessary equipment, software etc to not earn a decent living ?? No point him doing it then really !! No way does he earn £175 an hour !! See what I spend a year on Software, Leads, Computer parts, Subscriptions, Downloads, Tools, Lighting, Heating, Rates, Consumables etc etc and then tell me I earn £65.00 per hour !! How much would VAG have charged to fix it by the time they had fitted a new Navi Unit Get used to it, this is now the Industry to be in, even a humble repair to Hand / Parking Brakes now requires specialist equipment and knowledge You should see how many expensive fuck ups I've had in here due to inept grease monkeys trying to lever Calipers back etc etc etc. One such twat actually removed two of his fingers last year doing a pad change, office girl; came out to get mileage off the Car, opened the door while he had his fingers in the Rear Calipers, Car wakes up, realises the H/B is not set, so it applies the Handrake instantly .............. BAM mashed fingers !!

Like my Jocks, they appreciate the value of looking after their Car and it will look after you !! Unlike the many many many that drive them to destruction and then expect a Trader to give them a good px valuation for what is actually a totally fucked ELV Car !!

/\ /\ /\ This

Nice one

Ha Ha Ha

Yeah, fuck it, I'm in for a tenner, about time guys stood up to the big Sharks, shame similar doesn't happen at Westminster, I always said Guy Fawkes had the correct idea
