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"
Some people who's hobby is working on cars get to do stuff that most people who have been a mechanic for 30 years have never done in their working life as if you are a mechanic you are stuck with doing what your boss or the customer wants you to do, where as a hobbyist you can do anything with cars you feel like learning to do

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.

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. So I have the best of both worlds an do things more for pleasure an my own projects an interest
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.
Well as for most forum users they just read what other people have experienced and believe almost everything anyone says on here..
Skoda/kia motors.
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.
While we are discussing careers, you definitely shouldnt ever go into psychology or detective work LOL

I'm not on here very often, but this thread is growing strange.
8 years working on Aston Martins (the old stuff DB4s etc...) 4 years working on Porsche (the old stuff) and the last 11 years working as a Mechanical engineer for the "Financial Times" at there print site and yes i did the belts on my PH1 which made 171.8 on TDF rollers.
LY 220 Trophy+IB PH1
I've never done anything remotely related to mechanics at any point, I'm actually a storage software engineer for hewlett packard. Yet I've managed, with research from multiple sources (As with any good research you do) rebuild my PH1. The only thing I will really send to a garage is my gearbox.
While I agree there are many way's to do 1 job, the advised method is a method that has the highest accuracy when performed on multiple car's (As Renault's specifications and tool's) With something like timing, anything short of the most accurate just seems silly and something 99% of this forum will frown upon.

NONE of the pulleys have keyways? so the big tool with teeth on is so you can fix the pulleys so you dont bend the cam locking tool when you torque the cam pulley bolts up? I can see why using an impact gun would be considered brave in that case!
