Looks like you've got your hands full there Lee....won't bother asking about a small lathe job then!! We pass a little grey fergie for sale, turning off the A5 at that place I cant pronounce or spell, and always wish I had the time, space, money, skills, equipment and permission to have at it!! Enjoy!
Lock onto my co-ordinates and beam me up !!
04 900 - 92 mk 1 - r 1150 rs - Z550 A1 - 2x bonnies - plastic slug -XL185 - ...not in that order !! (and one or two i don't want / dare to own up to !!)
I find working on something old school a relief from the crap we look after in the garage. A few of the main stealers around here won't do head gasket jobs as it's easier to drop in a new engine.

Very true but those "technicians" who learn well will be sort after.
I will use a screwdriver to locate a noise but it won't find a misfire at 3240rpm on light throttle while sticking a yellow rose in your right ear on a 15 deg day. You get my point. Â Â
With this technology comes a whole new world of learning and the customer expects much more.
