No, he does. He does both of those. Believe it or not, he has been a mechanic for over 25 years, he has worked on cortinas, granadas, escorts, fiestas, consuls, capris and even an edsel. He knows fords inside and out. As for his own car, well considering he has been driving since he started being a mechanic and has a passion for cars, he's more clued up than you will ever be. He has rebuilt several essex, pinto, cologne, kent, crossflow and endura engines. His 2006 Ford Focus 1.6LX broken down yesterday, the blame can be perfectly blamed on the fact that the car has done over 40,000 miles since 8 years ago, which is not too bad. Not to mention the brake pedal sticking constantly.
That's true. The more you look after your car, the less problems you have. The only place where this doesn't apply is a car made by British Leyland. They were truly dog shit no matter which way you look at them.
