I said the identical thing yesterday when I was working on a mates corsa removing the slave cylinder. I love the simplicity of my a series metro. It's a dream!

I must say I far prefer working on modern cars, bolts don't seem to ever be as seized and despite there often being not much space everything seems to fit as designed!

Also, parts fit for the vast majority of the time, mostly easy to diagnose but at the end of the day, they're modern and don't have the character that old cars have

Picked one up from Cex in woolwich.. Handed in the day after I lost it with no SD card and the exact same condition and marks, seems fishy >_>

It's worse when the project/assignment counts for less than 10% of the course grade

Teaching ones ain't much fun either, and if you're lucky you get rewarded with a day long interview!

I'm no good at applications either. Not that I've done that many.

Lucky you, think it is the current graduate job market. Hundreds of applications with a high percentage of rejections.

I should probably investigate what the new random knocking noise is on the mini, but I’m sooo sore I really can’t be arsed.

3 Night shifts !!! Pfft , I am on shift 27 of 31 in a row , 7pm-7am also. Been here since before Xmas and going home Saturday for some much needed rest. It gets easier when I get a day off for every day I work. Luckily we have internet on shift so I can come on TMF and stay entertained :-)
