Re: Gripe of the day - What is yours?
I get this all the time at work. Most people say "well my car is sitting there". Its the law to log details, so no docs, no plate. I had a customer burst into tears and scream at me because I wouldn't make a plate.

Cost of a front brake fluid reservoir. Extortion.
It's only a little plastic pot and I only need the outer not even the diaphragm. The cheap universal pots have the fixings in the wrong place, so not universal. |

Changing my emails and not getting notifications off here anymore. This is a bait post, to see if it gets replies and if the emails show up in the right place!
