    Jesus H Dancing Christ. Mr Book it in Taliban and not turn up just been in. Toyota Aygo 61 plate. One headlight on full beam all time and other on but dim. He'd been messing about with it as well. I had to piss about putting it back how it was b4 he had started on it then fix it. 2 hours nearly. Charged him 40 quid. I thought he'd had a heart attack. Started slavvering and tried palming me off with 30. Had a right go with the bastard. Never working for one again.

    Bargin, should have told him needs to go to dealer.

    are you sure you NOT in meat-city? Your above post is near word for word.

    have you had "in my country, it would cost" yet?

    Not yet. After all this is their country. It certainly ain't ours anymore.

    yaris 2009
    Customer said he changed battery 1 hour before but battery indicator was still red on dash.
    Boss provided a voltage test and said he need a new alternator.
    Boss ordered alternator. Alternator arrived.
    Guess who had to install it?
    The not working was an original Bosch 80A with plastic cover and the signal plug was black
    with notch on left side.

    The new was a Denso, it had metal cover(?!) the signal plug was brown(?!) with notch on RIGHT side(?!)

    Alternator fitted, belt ok, connected the B+ the signal plug and the ground to the battery.
    Operated engine and...battery indicator was still red on dash.
    Boss provided a voltage test and the voltage was 14V but still battery indicator lit on dash.

    Fuses were ok. Alternator removed for replacement.

    Bosch alternator sticker said the signal plug was
    IG S
    L DF

    Denso (pics found online)
    IG S
    L M

    Did the manufacturer rotate the signal plug 180 degrees WITHOUT matching the correct pin position?
    Did owner mess up while bridging or installing the battery before entering the shop?

    Hit Thanks for resuming this thread that was in page 13 or something so I had to search row by row in 13 pages only because
    you cannot search a thread that contain "
    what" "would" "you" "do" "?" words.
    Now I need a new pair of glasses.

    Thanks Meathead you're always on spot.
    I cutted page 2 and this is what I have on both the alternators:
    BoschOEMVSDenso_ToyotaYaris2009.JPG


    Think monday morning boss will make a phone call very loud to the parts shop.
    Not to forget a Denso fault. Maybe drunk operator while assembling the alternator? Or machinery fault.

    You find your self "away" for a few days, nice place, just outside town
    nice pink padded cells, clean handcuffs, thick quality straight jacket etc etc.

    so your just hitting the edge of town, you see the parts deptment where the *HOT* Byrd is, sign on door
    "closed for good"

    you get iShit out, look on The Daily Record, place has gone bust
    you have no idea where the *HOT* Byrd is now. Do you

    a) not care as you still have a job ?
    b) think serves her right for. "Unfriending" you on some weird
    website?
    c) not care as she went nuts at the birthday card you sent her?
    d) not bothered as you stalk her now ex colleague on Twitter and know
    Where her brother works, who you also stalk on twitter?

    So car comes in, needs abs sensor, you end up drilling the old one out
    leaving a tiny bit of plastic, so you get your blow torch and burn the rest of the sensor

    you notice the blow torch is burning the brake flexy hose, do you

    a) rub it over and say nothing
    b) replace pipe at your own expense
    c) spray melted pipe black and say nothing


    thanks guys.

    d) Hey mate the brake hose fall out of his place and touched the wheel (not true) several time (neither true)
    Now your brake hose is flambč and for YOUR SECURITY (=my increase in pocket money) I HAVE to change it.

    Update: Owner of Soaped Multijet 2 come in today to see what we were doing.
    He need new injectors and new everything in fuel line.
    But everyone of us were working on all other car / lil truck except his lil van.
    You have to wait, sir. Be patient.

    Some guy rings up with this REAL REAL REAL, RARE car and says
    ”do you do work on this type of car”, of course you instantly flip it back to the customer asking, does it have xyz or the xxx engine.

    few days later, it comes in on a truck, the driver says he’s moved 4 times and nobody can fix it.
    you tell the truck driver to truck off, key in ignition, the dashboard lights up and there’s your answer
    its either the back seat has been soiled by a dawg or the head gasket gone. Either way deffo can fix it.

    before you move, turn around the owner there saying how he spent hours on google and all he can find on that car
    is ONE post on some “pish forum”, you take the print out off the customer and you notice

    not only is is it from DK, but In fact it’s YOUR post from 8 years ago from the last time one came in.

    do you

    1) say nothing. Fix big bill
    2) point out that’s the worlds best website and it’s your post
    3) tell the customer to take car elsewhere

    what do you do?

    THIS POST IS PURE FICTION, any resembles to actual real life events is really spooky
    And a freak of nature. No correspondence will be entered into this post. On line or off line

    When you get to the 'got your money/now f0ck off ' part,
    Right after 'got your money'
    -edit that fictional 8 year post with a link to the one above
    -edit the one above with a link to MHmotors(i know the no advertising rule)
    -ask the customer to reach for his phone and show you the post he printed
    And go straight to the F OFF
    A failure will not appear till a unit has passed final inspection

    So car comes in, has an issue with the afterburners not lighting
    first thing you do, head down the tube, spark, just not big fat blue one.

    you suspect it’s the igniter coil, customer breathes down your neck.
    to prove a point, you place 4 candles in the afterburners, flick switch
    big flame, point proved.

    Customer then informed you got new igniter coil, you suspect it’s faulty
    quick check, yeah sure it’s duff. Unlikely but could be the hamster not turning
    the pump fast enough. You look at the hamster, got one lame leg, customer insists
    its perfectly serviceable. Customer has spare hamster in glovebox, you remove
    3 legged hamster and try to compare the size to one in customers hand, but he snatches it off you


    so your installing new hamster, slightly bigger than the old on, so no adjustments
    when it grows. Flick switch, big flame out the afterburners.
    you then remember the 4 candles are still lit. Need blowing out.

    do you

    a) blow the 4 candles out and recheck
    b) tell the customer the new hamster fixed the fault

    As for the job, if he comes back with no afterburners next week, we know it’s igniter

    Thanks folks

    1: Id stick a go-jack under the locked wheel and push or tow it into the workshop, like I ever finish on time anyway! Usually about 5pm is when 5million people turn up as im trying to get packed up to go home so guaranteed to be plenty around to help push!
    2: If a job was stuffed up, I would simply advise the customer what happened, put it right at no cost. No point bullsh&tting people, mistakes happen, very rarely, but when they do, just gotta man up and admit ya effed up.
    3: If its literally a two minute job, id just do it at no cost, happy customer who will return again...$$$ If its a bit longer, probably a 6pack of beer. Much longer than that, regular workshop rates. Half hr late? Happens all the time, luckily I don't work for piece meal, or run such a tight schedule, half hr will put me out much. There is however the chance I will start a different job and the late one will have too wait the day, or 2 or 6 or whenever I again get around too it.
    4. It would be silent very quickly...
    5. Charging too scan a car? crikey! My head hurts...
    6. I would simply wait until the towie has picked up the car so they get the tow bill, then tell them to pick there car up and take a hike, explain that their car best not be worked on by a fool, lifes to short too deal with disrespectful morons.
    7. I would have diagnosed what blew the fuse in the first place, fixed it and replaced the fuse then let the customer know an accurate honest account of the work I did and charge accordingly.
    8. If I was forced of the road by a van, the last thing I would be thinking about would be the car, insurance will fix it. Id be more after the idiot that ran me of the road...
    9. Feel rather stupid, be damn glad the car and my workshoip is still intact, repair the damage at no cost, and get on with life!
    10. Blame the apprentice HAHA Realistically, it would have to be fixed. If it was some special gold reinforced carpet worth a crapton, id put it through insurance. Never had a claim so it wouldn't be the end of the world!
