Sounds like a B&D workshop to me.... I don't get all this stuff, 
seriously... it's just an excuse for companies to spend money and waste 
time... The reason Chev's these days last 125,000 miles is because 
Toyota's last (and always have lasted) 3 times as long, and people who 
work on the road for a living, usually learn their lesson when they buy 
a dud car....

that said, our own work ford is a throwaway item after only 2 years, and 
we're buying another one, but thats because ford appear to have 
recognised their pretty obvious mistakes...
