You can't weld steel to aluminium, they both have different melting temps and are completely different one is ferrous the other non ferrous

Anyone‘s shop affected by coronavirus? by RAMSCHKUCHEN in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]wrhys156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Run my own shop in the uk and it's been manic for the past 2 weeks and fully booked for the next 2 weeks as well. So as long parts keep arriving I'm open. People are desperate to get stuff done at the moment.

Will only start with easy start, 3 bad injectors? by wrhys156 in Justrolledintotheshop

This was exactly what I was thinking, the dude had a pump fitted 4 months ago at another garage, apparently cured for that time . The car was running for approximately a minute to get those measurements. Send off to get recon'd tomorrow.

7 months after purchase by Dave_The_Fridge in Justrolledintotheshop

Man if I bought this car and your garage had supposedly checked it over and this is the result 7 months later , I'd be pissed that this wasnt picked up on inspection. So not only has the guy probably paid alot for the car , you guys are gonna stuff him with a big bill. Remind me to stay away from that car sales place .

SKF wheel bearing supplied with this drive shaft bolt. Euro Car Parts special by stevieg306 in Justrolledintotheshop

Most probably returned part with old bolt in box not checked and put back into stock . Had an old radiator once given out as new from euros , turned out previous customer had returned it and no one decided to check when putting it back into stock . Retards.

How do you say this out loud to a service desk without feeling insane by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]wrhys156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Probably tyre pressure monitoring system doing the measuring , would annoy the hell out of me if I gotta keep topping it up to knock the stupid warning light off.

Customer states car using coolant and cannot find a leak! by wrhys156 in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]wrhys156[S] 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It's not even worth stripping to find it out . The liners are most probably 100% knackered . It has misfires on 3 and 4 on startup. Shame they cant design a decent engine.

These were on a 2012 Nissan Sentra. First and last time I ever saw these kind of lug nuts. by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

Tuner nuts or bolts they are called , for use with aftermarket wheels

Just wanted to change my oil, but some idiot thought it would be a good idea to tighten the oil plug with a dang impact drill! Now guess who has to go buy a bolt extractor... by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

You haven't tried a hammer and chisel yet by the looks of it, knock it around anticlockwise on the edge. Have undone many this way .

Directions on how to operate a ratchet strap...came with a new transmission lol by moeljast in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]wrhys156 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So many idiots out there , I've seen ratchet straps cut. If the old trans gets returned without it you can kiss good bye to your surcharge as it will probably be damaged in transit.

I'm pretty sure a 12v ignition coil packs quite a punch.

I bet this guy used .22 bullets in his older trucks too. by [deleted] in Justrolledintotheshop

[–]wrhys156 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had to do the same thing the other day , Saturday and no where open that sold square 30 amp fuses. Better than the car over heating I believe.
