we all have our own ways of doing things like cam belt on a zetec some people time the bottom end and the paint mark the pullies ect ect

its not really a trick lol. but i always put tyres and wooden blocks under cars when i jack them up.

 

not many tricks then lol

 

doing my job properly without cutting corners and not ripping folk off seems to work for me.

 

good advice mate ,a 45 year old guy died yesterday in ireland when a car he was working on collapsed on him .

Never put ya fingers through a letterbox cos ya might lose em to a rabid dog! (I am a postman......)

 

when you need to look busy, hold a clipboard!!!!

 

Happened to my old postman. Our letters came through with blood on them. My dad opened the door to see if he was ok. The Rottweiler next door had bit his fingers, one was hanging off!! He was still bloody workin too! My dad phoned the post office and they sent someone out to get him. Fuck that, it looked sore.

 

i was told by one of my tutors at college never to stick ya finger where you wouldn't stick ya dick, random bit of advise but has saved my pinkies a number of times lol.

 

i have a little trick where i convince people i know that i know what im doing ,


i then give the work to someone who does know what there doing and take the glory


good rep , work is spot on , and i get to sit on me ass

alfa 156 brake master cylinder comes complete with servo 14hrs to fit (dash out).
unbolt master cyl from servo, drop engine mount and engine, fit master cyl refit engine mount etc. 2hrs max.
12hrs bonus easy.

 

i tend to paint mark pulleys on any cambelt job regardless of manufacturers markings, especially free wheeling bottom pulleys!
but when i was an apprentice at Ford, the bloke i worked with used to lock the cams together using molegrips onto the cam pulleys when doing a cambelt on a zetec
But the worst bit of laziness iv seen has to be AIRGUN on SPAKPLUGS and even HEADBOLTS!

 

Never use axle stands, I use a old railway sleeper cut down into squares, so much more stable.
The reason I do this, if the ground is not 100% level it's dodgy on axle stands, no problem with sleepers, plus my twat of a mate can't rock the car I was under just seconds before it fell off the axle stands, on sleepers you can push as much as you like it doesn't move.
If it's only one wheel up I do use a axle stand with a jack, but never if two are off.
Where towbars are fitted, wire the 12S socket direct to the battery and not through a relay, if battery is flat simply plug charger into socket, even if only to operate CL to get in etc, or to stop alarm going off.

Always make the Girl wet Before Entering. Saves Cock Burn.

Mainly on tight girls

 

lol

 

Apparently there's a thing called foreplay thats supposed to help with that. Never tried it meself, always just spit on it first tbh.

 

Cut down Docking Blocks are perfect for that.

 

I have a few tricks up my sleeve.

1. get as much dirt on your work colleagues as possible and keep it in a safe place as you never know when (not if) they will stab you in the back and you might need an "edge" to make things fair again and get you out the shit. (maybe its just the forces is like that?? or shall i say just commissioned officers in the RN are all backstabbers???).

2. As a manger never forget that without your subordinates, nothing would get done!!

3. pretend to smile.

Or get them impaled on the Spike Shield Defence System (R)(TM) on my letter box.
Youll fit right in, in the RFA as long as you can convince people your doing things right and know what your doing then people will follow you
