The question is only one of trustworthiness. Kev clearly doesn't trust garages. I rather suspect that the vast majority of the motor trade would find a garage's stamp more trustworthy than a self-cert & DIY from some random owner.

Blackadder - There's no need to panic. Someone in the crew will know how to steer this thing. Captain Redbeard Rum - The crew, my lord? B - Yes, the crew. R - What crew? B - I thought that it was common maritime practice for a ship to have a crew. R - Opinion is divided on the subject. B - Really? R - All the other captains say it is; I say it isn't.

Yet again, you insist on demonstrating to the world that whenever you don't have an answer to something you resort to insults. I wouldn't want some "fitter" from whatever bucolic 1950s fantasy land garage with mechanics "what know their stuff guvnor" that you're dreaming of to make up something for my car either. I want kosher parts from the manufacturer. End of. B2003

If you didn't make such stupid responses to simple statements of fact then you wouldn't get the reactions that you do. > I wouldn't want some "fitter" from whatever bucolic 1950s fantasy land > garage with mechanics "what know their stuff guvnor" that you're dreaming > of to > make up something for my car either.

Like so many people, you're confusing fitters with mechanics. Try learning English. |
