I don't know u James, but obviously have read your posts and other members posts to and about you.  If I asked you to work on my car(s) I would expect to pay u a suitable agreed fee plus expenses.  This is not against the spirit of OOF.

Mark breaks cars and supplys parts for a (cheap) price - he has also sent me some parts FOC - this is also in the spirit of OOF.

In short go for it but make sure you are adequately recompensed for your efforts and skill :y :y

It is my opinion James that you do not charge enough! You are a dedicated, metaculious, and honest mechanic.

To find such an honest willing, and fine mechanic is a rarity. And you are a credit to OOF members and to our ever gratful Omegas  :) :) :)

Keep it up matey! :y

Disclaimers dont work anymore when it comes to corporate responibility - dont forget the new laws that came into effect in April  :(

PM sent by the way  :y

PM recieved mate.

Agree with what's said re. disclaimers, but in reality -

If someone had hypothetically signed something saying "I agree not to hold you responsible if my car blows up, even if it was your fault" - and you could show in court that they put their signature to that - I doubt their case would be viewed very favourably!

There was a recent change of law about 'unfair' contracts, so such cases may well be viewed in their favour...

Ah... ok.
Not that I would write such a silly disclaimer - it would of course, be a Fair one, with obvious neglect covered by insurance :D

Btw, PM pending, about something totally unrelated...
