Agh the X Factor meets the Motor Trade. A recipe for disaster if ever there was one. Once a media machine such as the BBC has chewed up & spat out it's own interpretation of the subject, then I am afraid there is no room for reality.

It would be interesting to see how some "respected" UKAT members would deal with the event, I am sure that some would dive in too deep. Others might argue with the "wisdom" of the judges. i.e. Is it obviouse that the catalyst should be the next suspect , after rectifying a misfire & still experiencing a power loss???

It is a tough call, craming the vastness of our profession into an hour long tv show & we need to remember that it is only "light entertainment" at the end of the day. I doubt many Joe Public would give it a second look anyway.

I am suprised Quentin Wilson didn't add his unique perspective & credibiliy to the proceedings .

I am sure that there is some mileage for a genuine motor trade TV show, but the appeal of this example is limited surely.

Every day at my place is like an episode of Corrie!

Cheers
