What's made you grumpy today?

[DaveMcT]

I used to work in a power station; 2 or 3 times a year I would rick my neck doing that on a beam. No worries, I was wearing a safety hat.

These days I have all sorts of neck problems.

Big sign which says "mind your head idiots" (nice boss)

Sounds like a right pr**k. Exactly the same attitude ours has. Is he forgetting without us he won't have a business? :chin: Not only that it would take me a matter of 30mins to bring it to a halt for very long time .

Mud flaps came today, holding them up to the car, i they they look smart

Tv's not working so i was hoping they would could come, i was expecting them to take an hour to fit...:bang:

2 hours later, still not a single one on the car, a right pain to fit, need wheels off, need something to drill though the wheel arch i've given up for now..

front ones clamp on easy with 1 screw needed
rear ones - a right pain..

indeed

 

[RuSZ]

what car is that for? but agree Trading Standards.

for a Punto, that shouldnt be more that £250-300.

 

[Focus Owner]

for expensive parts with a rough guestimate
£40 Spark Plugs and £80 coil, £100service £40 new tyre and (included in service) break fluid plus charges for repair
so 1 hour labout £40
£300
what type of tyre is it?

i dont know about the tyre but as the status is progressing apparently they told her that plugs and coil pack was 300 pounds alone

 

[Focus Owner]

ouch!
what are they made from?
gold?
would want to remove them to see what the brand is

 

[jip0]

i have a funny feeling she didn't even need new ones tbh

i can only help her over face book as shes back at uni and im home atm

 

[Focus Owner]

funny she wasn't charged for new ht leads

 

[jip0]

funny she wasn't charged for new ht leads

good point, if they thought they could get away with £300 coil packs why did they not try ht leads?

 

[bludvl_x19]

What were the repairs that were mentioned?

What were the repairs that were mentioned?

i think she ment labour when she said that

 

[RuSZ]

just done a quick search.

parts work out about the same price as the Punto. coil pack costs between £70 and £100 depending on make. but is common between all Pug's. so easy to get hold of.
Bosch plugs cost £40 for the set.. so thats say £120. i cant see labour costing £180!

not unless pugs are extremely weird and require 5+ hours of labour to change a coil pack

i doubt she even needed a new one

also shouldn't plugs and possibly brake fluid be done in the service? :chin:

 

[bludvl_x19]

It could be something else too, that might explain the large cost

she would of mentioned anything else

 

[Focus Owner]

she could have got another engine for that
