No call from c-red so no info yet. Asked if i coyld be there for the dyno run but the guys said sorry :(. Mate of mine said usually reason they dont like people there watching as usually have issues or probs and they just wana get the job done, which is understandable

Some other mechanics do the same. Sometimes I wonder if they don't want people around cause they aren't actually doing anything :glare:

Customers become a liability standing around, if something were to happen they'd get in trouble.

And also customers get in the way, ask a million questions, pull you away from the job etc. Happens a lot here and then they get all shitty cos the job has overrun

Nothing against customers wanting info on their cars, i don't mind it at all. Just makes progress on the cars slow

Totally get that, would rather them tell me that than making an excuse of space and noise and not safe >.> I used to ask customers to go away when I was working at the workshop.

And just like that i jinxed myself. Customer came in guns blazing because we have gone over time

Push the car onto the street and tell him to GTFO!

Fkn MA61 Poopra giving me dramas. Customer supplied brake pads - WRONG! So I ordered some from Veales - WRONG! Ugh, can't take a trick.

In my defence though, the customer supplied EBC pads and I looked at their online catalogue and his part numbers weren't even similar to what was listed. I triple checked my Bendix part with Veales, but nope it was wrong when it got here.

    • If you mean the alarm immobiliser; theyre internal to the alarm itself which makes that difficult; I couldnt even see where he put it; its not in the same place as last time; but with all black wiring it might be very challenging to trace  I had someone turn the key for me as I know it only primes for a couple of seconds As my post above; I am getting no voltage to the pump at all; but I am testing continuity of the power line (SB) from the pump plug to the relay fine. As well as the negative from the pump plug to a 12V constant.    Yeah; he blammed the no start on a bad battery; said I needed to get a new battery and it'll start. Turns out the battery drained because the tail lights had been on for half the day during the install (the rubber cushion on the brake switch gave out while he was testing it as I have a picture of the car from that morning with the tail lights off..i've replaced that). The battery was turning over the engine just fine for a long time; but got low since lights were draining it so it was too low to test a start after he finished. I bought a new one on his advice...$250 wasted. My original battery charged up just fine and is healthy.    It was running perfectly fine when I messed up the old alarm (programmed out the remotes). He couldnt start it after removing the old alarm; my assumption is that when he unhooked it; he didnt bridge the circuit back when trying to start it. Its always been perfectly fine. The ECU swap and pump were 2 years ago. It's never missed a beat in that time. 
    • This is a big issue for me without the diff. I just have zero drive from the passenger side when drivers side has no traction. Bec's parents place has a crazy steep driveway with odd camber and I have never been able to get up. My bro-in-law's 130i with an (unknown brand) LSD gets up fine as does their dad's Hiace. My car stays at the bottom. We have other odd camber roads around here as we're elevated a bit and if it's raining I can get totally stuck around some hairpins. 
    • Yeah, I am super excited for this.
    • Was the car running before he touched the car?
