a lot of stealers work on a commission basis (yes even the mechanics) not entirely sure exactly how it works, but my local toomeys get commission on how many cars they fix/get in and out on there ramps. the service department earn commission on how much extra work they book onto a ob, and the...

maybe its just me, but I find decent lenses on the 2nd hand market generally tend to be full frame, and on the 2nd hand market where I buy my lenses there is much more choice of full frame lenses, for reasonable money than there are of aps-c lenses, so for some its not a case of one day I will...

x2

x2 the background just needs to be a bit lighter, and have some form of interest, for e.g a garage in the background or something.

mines the same as that, luckily for me I get the use of a works van otherwise I wouldn't be able to afford it

sorry for caps was at work when writing that, and need caps on for the invoices, I had an imbosil moment and forgot to turn it off lol.

SHOULD BE MORE THAN FINE, MY LAPTOP SEEMS TO COPE OK, AND THATS JUST RUNNING AN INTEL CELERON I 5 2.6GHZ WITH THE INTEL BUILT IN GRAPHICS CARD AND 1TB HARD DRIVE, AND 16BG RAM

had mine done for free, I noticed a huge difference, when were were able to close the door from upstairs. now we have cats, and every door has to be left open, and upstairs we have crittall windows with no secondary glazing (conservation area) and has rendered the insulation pointless lol

awsome

You can buy same or better spec Octavia or seat Leon for less than the golf. All internals are more or less the same minus styling and little bits to make it all blend. How do you explain that? the "lesser" brands in the vw group although the chassis components are shared, the savings are made...

to be fair, compared to brands like ford and Vauxhall yes they are much better built, the extra cost they charge is under the skin, not on the shiny bits you see, the switch gear all lasts a lot longer etc etc, personal opinion of course

oe manufacturers make very little parts themselves, they design a part and ask a 3rd party firm to make it at a required price point, then they get tested and redesigned as and when they identify design faults. working for a main dealer you should know that as long as the parts fitted are of...

not cynical at all, its all about making money, the more that car goes to dealer, the more money they make. they design the car first, then they worry about servicing it. classic example is Renault magane headlamp bulbs, you have to remove the front end of the car to change the bulb,

yes and no, it depends on how much the mechanic is willing to spend, there is not 1 piece of equipment that will do everything, but if a couple of machines were bought they can cover everything between the 2 machines. bosch do a cracking piece of equipment that is every bit as good as the...
