Heres a story of a Honda garage. My step dad works for a Car body shop. His Suzuki vitara popped its head gasket, so he needed a mechanic to sort it. My Step dad being a well funny git when it comes to things like this, wouldnt let me do and decided that he would call in a favour owed by one of the mechanics he knew. After he found that thead was cracked, we got another, that was also cracked, he ended up buying a new head (£800) all the time this was being doen by the head mechanic at the local Honda shop after hours kinda thing. 3 weeks later, the car still wasnt running properly. Now, its not that hard to whack a brand new head on. After these 3 weeks, the mechanic gave up saying that he couldnt get it running, and that there must be something seriously wrong etc etc. We went to collect the car, and i drove it home. Yes it wasnt running right, but it was running. After all this, it turned out that this so called amazing honda mechanic had put the HT leads on in the wrong sequence...Professionals HUH!! Nice to know that he gets paid probably £30k a year, and he cant do the god damn basics!
