These are just be taking the piss...
Fit door cards (RH will not fit)130mins (only asked to fit o/s rest all ready fitted ?)
Repair split cooling hose 30mins
Fit L8 130mins
Fix and adjust exhaust 240mins
bleed brakes (3 times) 180mins
Fit rear strut brace 260mins
Turbo heatshield to fit 180mins
4 hours fix/adjust exhaust, did they make a new one?
More than 2 hours to fit a doorcard
Why did they need to bleed the brakes 3 times? Amateurs?
And so on...
