Okay. So you're saying every single mechanic failed all their exams in school? Incorrect.
and for those of you who've paid to get yours done. You stick to changing your discs and pads as a hobby. Leave the bigger jobs to us who can/know how to do them. And have the confidence to do these.
No mate, just most, and if you did well at English in school then I assume you will be able to understand that "THE USUAL" doesnt mean the same as "THE ONLY"
Sorry, but it just makes me laugh when people think mechanics automatically understand lots about cars and how they work, most of them dont and are just part fitters and removers in reality.
Must be cause you didnt fail your exams that you managed to move on then mate, FLOL
as a matter of fact i did do well in english. But as a great interest of mine. I like working on cars, repairing, diagnosing and rectifying faults. Afterall. I'm only 20, and could easily change my career path completely if i wanted to.
Well as for most forum users they just read what other people have experienced and believe almost everything anyone says on here..Well some people on this thread might say that based on how you are doing with cars currently, that's an opportunity you should take I'm sure, FLOL.
Who do you work for Rudda?
I got to laugh chip, I must admit when I turned up for my first block of training with Volvo I felt over educated haha. Most the lads had rarely attended school an I sat there giving all me a-c grades out an they looked amazed haha.
I've since moved on up into rail, more money, better job security an hopefully going to be doing a hnc in electrical engineering so much better prospects.
Motor trades good but in my opinion unless you have your own outfit I think its hard to make money.
I rent a unit now with friends an as I work shifts I work on motors on the side.
Who do you work for Rudda?
Lol, I can imagine.
Hope it goes well mate
Plus now its not your job, you will probably enjoy it more as a hobby playing with your own cars.
Some of the jobs I have had that came from hobbies first have ended up making me not enjoy that hobby anymore.
Cool, being able to fix cars is a great way to make a bit of money on the side alongside another career, I know a lot of people who do the same and because they are doing it only when they want to and only the jobs they want to take on, they take far more of an interest in what they are doing and work to a far higher standards than a lot of people who work in garages and have to do any job they are given.
Yep your right there, I enjoy it so much more mate.
I only do the work I want to do an I get more time to look into detailed an complex jobs as I'm not rushing to try an make bonus haha.
Having the unit is great for storage too, an we got a four poster in there
Crikey, ive seen people with couches and tvs etc in their workshop, but never have I seen anyone before go quite that far for sleeping arrangements!
Always handy when the missus chucks me out for putting parts in the dishwasher
considering it idles perfectly and rolled 166.8 bhp the day after the belt was done i'm pretty sure the timing is in. I also do have a torque wrench thanks.. But however, i couldn't exactly torque it without the 'cam sprocket tool'. Now, which of you who've commented are actually mechanics?
