Hi All This i hope might make you laugh.I had a customer last week phone me up because his engine had started to make some strange nosies,this is the sort of customer that is always fishing for answers to his problems without booking the car in,so as it can be diagnosed correctly and fixed.Anyway whilst on the phone he held his mobile phone in the engine bay then said well what do you think?.obviously i didn't have a bloody clue but knowing what a worry guts he was i promptly told him the the noise was about a serious as it gets and not to drive it any further(well what else could i say).He had no breakdown cover,he was on the motorway at 4.30 in the middle of the rush hour.It cost him a fortune to get back home and he missed His very important appointment.Serves him right the tight fisted little git.Oh and the noise.A nut that he removed at sometime had fallen behind the power steering pump pully.I found this out Monday and i am still smiling. John
