We are all experts at something, me for example can program in various XBASE family languages, can convert an Omega to LPG, can strip a Rootes group 1600 in half hour, can shoot video and edit to high standards ect ect

Bah thats nothing.. :D

Only joking, very impressive!!

Agreed most people are experts in various areas, if given the right components and decent screw driver i can built a PC from the ground up in around 20 mins, power suppler, motherboard, hard drives. At my old job i could get a PC built and have it installing windows within 20/25 mins...

I can do video editing too, pinicle for PC but it sucks, Final Cut Pro is good, generally most things regarding PC's are dead easy..

I used to be utterly useless when it came to cars, but now i can change the pads, do a oil & filter change, brake bleed and so on....

Ok..

If it was a project car and i needed flog it to make a profit, then Option A (not that i just did that of course ::)

If it was a fleet car and not me paying the bill Option B.

If it was my facelift then Option C.

Knowing Ronnie he would beat me down to a tenner for it!

Sorry, wrong answers, all posts will now be reset (only I don't have the power)  :(

 ;D ;D

I agree AA.....C should have been the answer everytime....make Tunnie a newbie TheBoy  ;D ;D

Go on then AA........next question???? dont make them too easy  ;)

Next question (FOR TUNNIE ONLY)

Your Omega is leaking water from the passenger side wiper blade spindle and your plug wells are filling with water - what do you do if you are a Vx Techie?

Incorrect.

Attach a Tech2 and diagnose ECU failure.  Then charge £900 for a replacement.

Edit.  Congrats Tunnie.  I'm right on your heels!

Well if it was a Vx money in a suit, i would charge at least 2 hours labour just to investigate the problem.

Quite funny i am regarded as an expert... compared to newbies like hillper...  ;D

Wrong again tunnie

You replace the bottom windscreen seal (under warranty thank God) and find it hasn't cured the problem.

Not exactly rocket science is it?
I'm 61, left school at 15 with no qualifications, spent most of my working life in the shoe trade, and I built my own computer.
I bought the parts from e-buyer, a mother board, CPU & fan, and memory as a bundle. Added a Hard drive. Video card, Sound card and CD burner. (I really must upgrade to DVD)
And a box to put them all in.
It took me about an hour, from opening the boxes, to beginning the installation of XP.
Including time spent reading the instructions.  [smiley=rolleyes.gif]
Of course, the fact that you can't plug anything in the wrong slot helps. I think they are designed to be idiot proof, in as much that things will only fit in the correct slot.  [smiley=wink.gif]
In fact they must be idiot proof, or I wouldn't have been able to do it!! [smiley=beer.gif]
