A bit late here but I must slightly object.
I'm a Chartered Engineer with an international recognition and registration number. I service my own cars (out side of manufacurers warranty) to full manufacturers speciafications and IMHO to a better standard. I fill in and sign the car's service coupon complete with my registration number. I have no bill to offer but I have my professional reputation "on the line".
Why am I popping my head up! Simple. I and all my professional colleagues are totally fed up with every man and his dog being called "engineers". Washing machine engineer etc. etc.
Whilst I don't agree 100% with the information in this link, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Engineer , what is clear is that a true and qualified engineer is something completely different and a million times more important and professional than the so called engineer to fix your washing machine, car or other item.
In Europe (excluding UK) it is an offence to call yourself and engineer if you do not hold the relevant qualifications and registration. Sadly in the UK anybody can call themselves an engineer and it pisses me off a million times over when the likes of the BBC etc. use the word engineer for every person/pratt etc. as they see fit. I would not be surprised if they saw my rabbit holding a spanner they would call him an engineer!!!!! :bang:
what about Dr. DreI'd agree with the comments about 'engineer'. You can't call yourself a doctor if you're not but anyone can claim to be an engineer regardless of training or experience.

what about Dr. Dre
Is it just me or might we have discovered that "Check front drive shaft rubber boots" is one of the most important, and most frequently overlooked, things on s130's servicing checklist?

Agreed that checking for leaks / piles of grease would definitely be done as part of any normal service but I've always looked at those long lists of check this, check that as something the mechanic does in 30 seconds and the marketing department spend months padding out
I certainly had never suspected that loosing what seems to be fairly small amounts of grease could have such a massive impact on the driveshaft.
But we have hijacked this thread just a bit
