once - by the adac which is the equivalent over here. was after a track day at hockenheim and the alternator had packed in due to heat.
the twat tried to find the problem and repair it first, for some reason he jacked it up by the tca to have a look underneath and somehow managed to drop it off, bending the steering rod in the process.
forget german efficiency, there's as useless wazzocks prat's here as over there.
