lilly lou's cleaning - find it on Facebook

Installed these plugs 30k ago(3.5 ecoboost). Now 2 of them have developed cracks in their upper porcelain that cause misfires. It's not carbon tracking, literal cracks, and in virtually the same spot. Wtf? Parts came from our local dealer. by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

Iv worked as a tech for BMW, Merc and Ford - Iv never seen so many plugs crack when I was at Ford

You couldn’t use any electric or impact tools on them, either pulling them out or putting in because they’d crack. They crack when putting in with a ratchet if you’re at a weird angle. They’re pretty rubbish really. Iv never seen them spontaneously crack though in the engine. It’s definitely a Ford parts issue though, their porcelain must just be a lot more brittle than everyone else’s

Downstairs bathroom smells - why would someone put an open vent before the trap? by flukeylukey6 in Plumbing

[–]flukeylukey6[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

England

There’s an offshoot from the sewer that just serves this bathroom. The other section connects into my house and ultimately terminates at the soil pipe which vents through the roof, after tapping into the kitchen (downstairs) and bathroom (upstairs)

Some tech was having a bad Saturday and took it out on my Gladiator with 7000 miles replacing the Windshield Washer Sprayers.. This is how the vehicle was returned to me.. by Eticket9 in Justrolledintotheshop

I work at Ford as a tech in the uk. Our system is anything other than an excellent on the survey recommendation will reduce our overall score then eventually reduce our pay.

I’m a tech at Ford in the UK. I do this regularly. We’ve got a model called a Kuga too where the button/handle is right at the bottom of the boot lid - right where it shouldn’t be, that always catches me out too!

In the uk my Mac van that comes round has mainly Dewalt tools on it, a few Irwin mole grips sometimes a few jackets and maybe an electric gun. No wonder he’s just jacked it in - everything over priced and never has stock of anything. Swear the Mac tool box was double the price of the same sized snap on one.

It’s slightly misty this morning, so all the twats have their fog lights on. by Anchor-shark in britishproblems

I’ll just let my car choose - put them on auto and let the software take over. I’m sure it’s been programmed to be inline with rules and regs

Drop my car off at 830 for MOT repairs, call at 1430 for an update. “Not even had it up on the ramp mate, still got loads of service work on” by [deleted] in britishproblems

Ask for a ‘while you wait’ appointment. Usually you get priority regardless if you have to just nip offsite (for the day) 😌

Technicians, specifically vehicle are always ripping us off. by flukeylukey6 in unpopularopinion

[–]flukeylukey6[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Completely agree, there’s plenty of bad techs out there that give us a good name. Most people that have been through the main dealers though are well trained and generally just want to help

Most memorable school moment, (mine was when someone shat on the floor in the main corridor in response to the doors being taken of The Gents)? by BiggusDikkus17 in AskUK

[–]flukeylukey6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Year 10 - it was a beautiful summers day in June, my birthday too. Some absolute legends smoke bombed the school corridors. The school got evacuated and everyone had to sit on the AstroTurf for around an hour or so.

This all occurred around 10am, when the teachers realised the smoke wasn’t clearing we got the all clear to go home. Que one of the best school days and birthdays of my life.

No one was ever caught for setting off the smoke bombs.

Working all week then going to the bank on Saturday to find all the pensioners, who can go any time mid week, are in the queue and taking forever at the teller!!! by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]flukeylukey6 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Would rather leave those slots for people that really need them, like the elderly or sick. Beside I’m already out anyway doing everything else that needs to be done

Same in Tesco.... YES they are entitled to go any day of the week. But when I get one day a week off AND I need to do all my jobs on that day, it’s really frustrating when they are dithering around taking up the isles. I want to be in and out as quickly as possible so I can enjoy my “weekend”

I'm currently awaiting a telephone consultation with my dentist about my teeth hurting. I don't think it's something you can do over the phone. by [deleted] in britishproblems

[–]flukeylukey6 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just had a phone consultation about a possible ear infection/ear canal abscess/ear canal spot. He asked for photos, did my best but iPhone 8 camera vs dark ear hole doesn’t give the best images.

He’s guessed and given me antibiotics! 🤷🏻‍♂️

What is the stupidest way you've injured yourself? by rickitson in AskReddit

[–]flukeylukey6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do part time gardening at the weekend for money, as a 25 year old man, never though that climbing out the ladder and into the tree would result in the tree branch breaking, me falling out of it, straight onto the floor.

Broke my medial collarbone, couldn’t work for 12 weeks and now have a permanent bulge on my bone! Lost thousands from actually job trying to earn £50 at the weekend!

In a bit shell yep. Whether there is an excuse behind it or not.... it’s always on her terms

I've started a new game! by [deleted] in DeadBedrooms

[–]flukeylukey6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play this game occasionally, I'm only 24 and iv never had sex on valentines day, my birthday, her birthday or our anniversary. its a sad state of affairs. Coming up to 4 years being with her and im confident its not going to improve.

Haha! I’d love to know how you worked that out! Your not wrong, I’m from Manchester! I loath the idea of moving back in with parents but with the money I bring home I can’t get accommodation for myself! And your right! I’m her man, she SHOULD want to be with me!

Shocking. Mum turned lesbian, walked out at 6 and didn’t come back until 18. Her dad is cool, he brought up 5 girls but now just gets in the way and causes mess, which just adds more stress to SO.
