Amazing displays of ignoranceSandettie Light Vessel Automatic tells us: "My dad's friend told us there's no such thing as gravity - it's just the weight of air holding us down". Tell us of times you've been floored by abject stupidity. "Whenever I read the Daily Express" is not a valid answer.

They are not thick... or stupidYou are just not communicating correctly. That is the first time that someone has given me a cogent explanation of what goes on with computer vehicle diagnostics.

No I think that most customers are not interested in what the 'grease monkey' has to say. The level of knowledge that I have amassed over the years would make most students go home and sob. I have to have an intimate knowledge of computers, mechanical systems, fridges (air con) thermodynamics, plumbing, geometry, spring design hydraulics the list goes on. But hay I'm just a grease monkey what do I know

Not meI simply HAVE to know what's going on and really appreciate it if someone gets the bit out of the bin to show me what was wrong with it (this was most impressive with the knackered rocker plate on my Audi last year). I'm less impressed when they wont talk to me or answer my myriad questions e.g. when the Vectra was playing up (that was a main dealer but I use an small independent for the Audi (saves whacks of cash)). I do have history though, as I hail from 60s/70s rallying royalty (cant fix my own cars though - thats what you do).
