just bought a pair of BMC rosettes for the GT rear windows....car built in '71 but BMC defunct in '66. Doh....but does it really matter? Presumably only to the purists.......

On what planet does a garage think they need to take my whole engine out to fit a clutch!!

When your taking a car in to do a clutch I can see why they would think 'because your a woman'.

Unfortunately it'll be difficult not to sound like you're telling them how to do their job....I've had it in the past with garages where I've asked for a job to be done a certain way - and it's certainly tricky. As for being a woman, it depends on who you're dealing with......there are still some old fashioned views out there (as a bloke I'm ashamed to say)!

I don't want to tell them how to do their job, you go to garages and trust them to fix your car but when they have the wrong ideas how to do something or wrong information, I will put my foot down and say they are wrong. It was like when they left my radiator rattling and I told them. All I got was "Why do you think its rattling?" and told them I personally saw and shook it. ARGHH!

I use 6mm but can be difficult to get the whole of the weld sometimes, depends if your going to use the panel again too.

I use 8mm bit
Mar 05 2014 08:59 PM -

8mm should be the smallest you use but 10mm will be the 'lazy way' :)
