I have not worked on a car since my forty-third birthday and I never was much good at it but I like to hang on to what knowledge I acquired. |

My sister had a problem with her car, took it to a couple of mechanics, they told her what the problem was and what it would cost to fix, I have to say she has an ample bust and is blonde, she told them what the problem was and that she is also a car mechanic when she told them this they asked her to leave. |

The garage who would not change my brake pads because the discs were so worn they would be dangerous. I could not afford new discs so I took it home, went to the scrappy (y second home), jacked it up, off with the wheels and not a thing wrong with the discs! |

It sounds like, nowadays, if a light doesn't tell them what's wrong, they can't workI it out for themselves! |

It seems that, locally anyway, we no longer have mechanics, they are now vehicle technicians. |

I don't drive, never have driven, so no point asking me anything about a car. |

Sylvia, I've never driven - it didn't stop me cleaning the spark plugs, connecting cables etc :-D |

Maggie saying about overhauling the gear-box and engine has made me realize how much I don't know anymore.Not much more than suck, squeeze, bang blow these days. |

I had to be taught, Jot Louise and my Smarts don't even have spare wheels. |

Can’t go wrong with a trolley jack, Sharron. :-D |

I think one of the reasons for new cars not having a spare wheel as 'standard' is weight. |

First or all, Joy Louise,she has never become my ma-in-law. People have been to refer to her as my future mother-in-law and I tell them that, no, she is my future ex-boyfriend's mother! |

You’re right Inky. Even on 0-60 figures alone the car’s performance ought to look better. (Lower weight, less drag?) |

Sorry, Sharron, I know you’ve said that before but I gave her the ‘honorary name’ as it was quicker to type. :-D. |
