    But heh, they've got certificates, so that means they iz experts huh
    I kinda agree with that if its an older car. The trouble is, if i gave you a 58 plate astra and said it intermittently cuts out hot or cold where would you start?

    Im a vauxhall 'technician', but without being able use a tech 2 on a new car theres no chance in hell we could fix it without guessing at things.

    Yeah, i agree. Nowadays with stuff like Tech2, people working in garages/dealerships no longer really need to know a huge amount to do their job.

    The other thing is main dealers dont see old cars anymore. We see the odd nova/mk2/3 astra buts thats it. So somone (like myself) will not have experience on the older cars so its not actually that persons fault as theres no way of them learning.

    Main reason i wanted to jack it in as i was fed up of what i had to work on.

    Anyways back on topic now
