I'd have enjoyed chatting with your missus indoors whilst you fixed my car

No no no no no Mr Welton, you'd be out there getting covered in crap too
Leicester isn't that far but 'er in doors might take umbrance if I disappeared for a day to fix a mates car!

Can't you make up a cover story, like you're off to shag some bit of stuff? Then all you have to do is sneak your tools in the car.

You know that might just work. And on that premise I could find a buxom wench and get shagged afterwards with a clear conscience!!

Welty is in Leicester?

Dang, if had known that earlier. I've been there twice. June 2006 and November 2007 helping run the Sci Fi weekends at the Space Center!
Coulda met and had a 2 car meet lol.

All fixed - One KYB spring and £125.00 later and it's fine, just feels the same as before

Spring = 36.50
Labour = 70.00 (2hrs)
Vodka and Tonic = 18.64
Total = £125.14

Apparently the new spring turned up in a huge long box and needed ubber-compression to fit it they have a super-dooper spring compressing machine on it's own stand for these jobs.

I've got the old spring at home- if I can work out how to untangle the two halves I'll post a pic

*waits for other spring to go*

Vodka and Tonic = 18.64

What's that for?

Vodka and Tonic = 18.64

What's that for?

Apparently my screenwash resevoir was low and the garage said Vodka and Tonic was the best stuff to use? have I been ripped off?

Ah yes, if you drink that much you'll be seeing two of everything anyway!

You know what a bloody garage is like, they want their 2 hours worth

Tempting fate now. I had my o/s spring snap two years ago now. I suggested changing the other side but was told it was not needed touch wood its still fine
