A mate borrowing workshop space and tools today as a warning light come up on his recently purchased car and it turns out someone has cut the seat belt tensioner with a grinder so they don’t grab and all the side air bags have been cut off with a Stanley knife and had a resistor fitted to bluff the warning lights it came from a private purchase with full main dealer mot test and know the seller don’t answer his phone from any number

It had been in a “minor “ accident and supposedly repaired by a professional garage and the guy selling said he was private but it looks like he is a trade bodger but it should not of passed a mot test with no horn working and seatbelts no tension admittedly they perhaps would not know about the air bags but the horn not working should have told them the steering wheel one had been deployed, Just down right dishonest and dangerous

My nephew bought a cat d car from a garage in Birmingham looked a good buy until he took to another garage to check it over and change the cam belt, discovered all the air bags had been removed so he took it back and threatened to report to trading standards if he didn't get his money back. Can't trust no-one these days

Do not under any circumstances buy a Schindler 4wd tractor.
Today was strip down day.
A worn bush is never a good thing.

Knackered roller bearing and oil seal. No oil in that half of axle.

Then into the diffy bit.
Heads sheared off the inner studs, then they have made an excellent job of grinding the outer bits off.
