Wooo!

'cos main dealer mechanics are all highly trained professionals and not
in any way bodging grease monkeys.....

I was qualified when it actually meant a toss and before the ability to
plug in a computer to tell you what was wrong was introduced.

****, you're a friggin retard.


Stop talking about yourself Conor. A G-clamp applies pressure, it
might apply a turning force if the G-clamp is also ****ed, but that is
irrelevant as the last thing these callipers need is pressure applied
to the adjuster (outer) piston in the wrong direction - as anyone who
understands how these callipers work will understand...

I have an extremely high mechanical aptitude.


In *your* opinion of course, just like most out-and-out bodgers
do...

According to all the aptitude tests I've ever done and the
qualifications I have...


Oh yes, those "Put the square block into the square hole and the
circular block into the circular hole" aptitude tests whilst the NVQs
just check that you can do nuts and bolts up, no understanding as to
how things work...

So how come you don't understand how these callipers work then, tell
us what the set text-book was for C&G levels 1 to 4 then, or have you
hit your head and forgotten all you would have learnt back then?...

NVQs didn't even exist when I got my certificates.

Whatever, you ****ing spunk stain.

I'm waiting for you to tell me. After all, you're the one claiming I
don't know so educate me.

There's no such thing as level 4 CGLI 383 and there was no set text
book either.

Thanks for proving you never sat it.

Pity you didn't learn anything then!

Talking about yourself again.

Oh yes there was - on both accounts - so thank *you* for proving that
you never took your "C&G Motor Vehicle Craft Studies"...

No, I never took your dumbed down excuse for an aprentership, I got my
qualifications when they were worth they salt, taught us how things
work, how and why they go wrong and how to fix them without just
opening the box of a service exchange unit, they didn't just teach
glorified grease-monkeys how to correctly tighten nuts and bolts in
the 'fast-fit' bay... Tell us Conor, seeing that I have told everyone
when I started in the motor trade, when did you start - what car model
was the new hot British design in the showroom?

Where? Where have you demonstrated its operation in regard to the self
adjuster?

That was the CGLI 381, dumbass, not the 383.

Same here, spunkstain. As an apprentice at a Land Rover dealership, the
first thing I was given to do to see how I got on was to strip and
rebuild a V8. As a mechanic, I once had to cut a gearbox off a car and
had to strip it and replace the input shaft I'd had to hack through.


Tell us Conor, seeing that I have told everyone

was the new hot British design in the showroom?

1986. Not much in the way of hot new designs as everything was pretty
much an update of previous incarnations.
