Hello all,I am new here so just want to say hi and give you a brief work history,If I can help anyone I will because I know how hard the job is these days. So basically I am a mechanic since 1978,worked in order at Renault,Lancia,Fiat, Volvo.3 alfa dealers,BMW, RAC 7yrs,back in garage may 2012. Hobbies are motorcycles and fixing old clocks.I dont claim to know everything but i have been in the trade a long time and have learnt that a second opinion or a different approach can solve a problem much quicker.
