    They do bacon sarnie mornings at some of the places round here,or they used to atleast,that would drum up the freeloading fat cunnts,then they would drive off in their vosa magnets,empty or the opposite extreme of massively overloaded
    Maybe you should organise summat similar? then tip off vosa aswell? im sure you would get a good bonus

    No longer working at Wickes thank god, although the staff were a good laugh, just not exactly a look after our workforce type company

    Now working for an engine remanufacturer, rolling road, performance/race engine builders, tuners... anything to make an engine work better type place now, as a placement year.

    The last shape BMW 7 Series needed the front bumper removed for replacement of the sidelight bulb. It was great to see these so called high flyers smoking round in their executive express squirm when you tell them it is going to cost them £280 to fit a new one

    We had a few bonnet cable failures on 7 Series, the only way in was through the headlight. One big hammer and a few swings.......

    Another fun job was the turbo actuators on a 335i. We had a few that made a noise, only way to replace them was to remove the engine & box.

    That's mental, you would have thought at least dropping a single mount and wiggling it a bit would give access to bolts

    The two turbos are wedged down the side of the O/S/F strut. You cannot get from below either. The quickest way was to remove the whole engine, box & front subframe with suspension.
