I could have sworn youd said you were a peugeot techy one one of your original threads, as i asked a fellow member and they agreed theyd seen this. Id have thought youd have been a bit more knowledgeable but your threads say otherwise just sayin like

Yeah my early days....but I always question my own knowledge...been a few years since its been my main job....I got very ill with it, boss, injured back etc etc, so have to take things easier now.
Plus he always questioned everything I did....and got angry with me a lot. Best one was when I opened up a head gasket set, and he said I wasnt ready to do it as the headgasket should be fitted as soon as its out the wrapper...or it will go off!?
Plus what happened last year, its given my self esteme a thrashing
Always willing to listen and learn.

I had happily(!) diagnosed it as a head gasket fail last night...all the symptoms...but the drive home completely threw me...hence the thread.
