  1. A skilled mechanic works on a vintage V8 engine in a dark garage, surrounded by car parts and tools.

  2. Mower died. Engine is rekt. Looks like you don't repair small engines these days since a crankshaft alone is *as much as* a full ready-to-run engine assembly

  3. Making a #spectacle of himself - this chap (a #mechanic in #Kent #SE #England) is wearing #RayBan #spy #glasses for the purpose of his #YouTube video.

    He is carrying out the relatively harmless act of covertly filming buying 5 litres of #petrol (garages often don't like you using mobile phones) to take back to his workshop and check there is 5 litres in the can (indeed there was - not sure what he was expecting to happen, Trading Standards regularly check filling stations!)

    I've got 3 spreadsheets and notebooks of receipts since 2019 (spanning 3 different #cars) where I've been monitoring fuel consumption and I've found nothing to suggest that petrol pumps across East and SE #England are delivering anything other than correct amounts (within tolerances that #TradingStandards allow)

  4. I keep seeing this #pictogram (top right hand corner, stick man holding a #spanner and wearing a #rosette ) on parts of #VW cars (it was also on the #DSG gearbox of my Polo). I know it means "qualified/trained #mechanic only should work on this assembly and the one in my picture is a specification of oil and refrigerant for the airco),

    I've not found any sources that #mechanics in Germany get #rosettes on completing their training, and in UK a rosette is either associated with political party membership or you might get one if you won some kind of #sports event (or a beauty contest) so I'm curious as to why its used..
