Tosser. Had he never looked at his V5? I bet he complained about the cost of 
his insurance too. If it wasnt for the fact that I have to deal with people 
like that every day I would find it hard to believe.

Any advance on 80%?
Judging by the number of components incorrectly fitted or missing that I have 
discovered on my car even though it was last serviced at a garage with a very 
good reputation for their work on performance and exotic cars.
The next time that my car sees the inside of a 'professional' garage will be 
when something goes wrong that I cant fix and only then when I find someone 
who really knows what they are doing.
