Really overwhelmed by the messages of support. Really appreciate it boys thanks very much!

Had another great day today.

Got pas rack out of mundane-o ST. Surprisingly easy. Drop two rear subframe bolts, one gearbox mounting and two rack securing bolts then pull out the side. New one slotted in, bit of messing about with getting the rack connected to steering shaft but it eventually lined up, lines back in, new fluid and after a bit of noise got all the air out and job jobbed. Boss did the alignment.

Seconnd job, nice ten plate Audi comes in and I'm like. . . Why the hell does it look pregnant?  ??? ??? ??? Car had come in to remove an unbelievable amount of ice from the under tray. God knows how he'd done it lol

Third job wiper replacement   ::)

Final job was a pug van. S'got an oil leak, check it out webby. Ok....looking up from underneath, yup, big engine oil leak. All the way from up top. So drop the car down again to get a look round the valve cover seal. Opened the bonnet and cause of the leak was immediately obvious. . . Dipstick TUBE with dipstick sitting on top of the air intake scoop thingy  ??? ??? ??? Was a fiddly bugger but got that back in, topped up with 2l of oil  ::) and sent it on its way.

Fun times boys  ;D back next Thursday.

 ;D

Funny you mention the welding. I think I'm going to take my new welding cart and utilise it as my tool trolley as he said I could bring my tools next week to make it easier.

If they take me on permanently in the future it looks like I'll be down hell frauds getting a tool trolley and cab thingy. Oh and a properly good windy gun  :)
