@Nodzed That's so generous of both your employer and you at your ZedShed and all the ZedSheds - it's great that we all love our cars and want to keep them in tip-top condition. I totally understand what you mean about commercial garages lacking the experience and expertise to effectively work on our cars...I have firsthand experience of such, sadly.Nope not a commercial garage, its a building on the site where my office is, the company I work for very kindly let me store my cars and kit there as its not really used by the business, which is very good of them. Makes for a good workshop though and means it provides a dry place to work on my car and offer some assistance to others.
As these cars get older and need more and more TLC, due ever rising costs for garages and a falling expertise of mechanics on these cars it is going to be down the owners to maintain them more and more, the problem is not necessarily that owners don't have the knowledge I think its more the case of facility, tools etc, some jobs just aren't easy on a drive on axle stands in the winter when most of us want to do major surgery on our cars. That makes what the Zed Shed boys (Lee and the southern boys and Tony and them Northerners) do so invaluable, I'll try to help out where I can with jobs I feel comfortable doing and can be completed in a day, and all are welcome.
Just wish people would stop taking photos of my bald spots
ZedSheds are invaluable. Thank you all for being absolutely brilliant!!!
PS: What bald spot?
