Waxmonkey Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 Did you not repair cars when you were a mechanic Astra? Go back to the place you did your mechanics course and demand compensation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Waxmonkey Posted February 6, 2003 Share Posted February 6, 2003 mechanics normally know what's the matter with the car. If I went to a mechanic and waited while he posted a message on a discussion board to ask what was wrong, I'd be a bit worried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
