Real Mechanics?

Crispywombat:
Apologies, I've already posted this in the Range Rover section but as I have an Disco V8 on SU's I think I may also need some assistance. :roll:

Does anybody know if there is such a thing anymore?

Just taken a friends 1991 3.9 efi Bobtailed Rangey in to a garage local to me to have the timing and perhaps the dizzy looking at, left it there half a day for them to give it a once over only to be told that's it's too old!! Apparently they don't have anything to plug it into so can't help! I asked them just to take a look at the timing to be told "All of the lads are young, they don't know how to repair them"

I am astonished, I really used to rate this place but have lost all faith in them, they've also lost the chance to service my other two vehicles plus my friends, so I'm looking for a decent mechanic in the Leeds area? Any recomendations?


Thanks,

Rob

Disco Matt:
Yep, they do still exist, I know one. Unfortunately he's in Mid Wales so not much use to you!

I suspect they are more common in rural areas where they are likely to have all manner of vehicles in varying stages of disintegration brought to them by farmers requesting that the vehicle be MOT'd. I know our local one does a lot of this sort of work.

Thats the problem with these new cars you can plug a laptop in and it tells you the problem and mechanics are getting used to that so they dont want to work on old stuff where they HAVE to work .

Sorry just my opinion

Crispywombat:
I think you're right Jay, problem is we're losing mechanics and all we have are fitters!!!

landymadjay:
Yepp that is the problem .
