    He knows what oil he wants but he can't get the garage to put the right stuff in. They have told him a load of rubbish and even AdrianC says they are having him on ie lying.

    Well that must mean that all garages and mechanics are corrupt then. Which is what every statement you make states.
    Life isn't about the number of breaths we take, but the moments that take our breath away. Like choking....
  • Is it possible that a qualified garage mechanic once upset fred246 and made him cry by daring to question his unqualified opinions on how to repair/maintain cars and he just cant get over it, lol
