it was fun for me ,,,, also , even if i didnt turn up for 5-6 weeks at one time ....... multiple choice exam paper , no practical test ....... ---- but i would have learnt more m, by buying an old banger and stripping it down,,,,, we wasnt even show , how to coorect bad earth , on " faulty indicators 2 ...for example ,,,,,,,,, i should have gone on the day release ...
squarebear ,,,, hello on returnin asfter being away from the course ,,,,,, one of my course colleagues , showed me what , they had done in my absence ,..... they said this is all you missed .... not a great deal ...... so i opied the notes ,,,,,, and i was back on track .... i was actually away for over 8 weeks ..but this was over the chrstmas period ,,... so three weeks wer not productive ,,,,,,,fpr the remaonder of the calss ,,,as it was holiday break ..xmas as i have already pointed out ,......
from what i remember of my c& g it was real basic stuff and any pratical done in a spotless workshop nothing like the real world...so much mechanics is now based around electronic fault finding rather than the old fashioned hands on approach...even body work has changed, so many bolt on plastic panels..
i remember stripping alternators/starter motors, fuel pumps etc. apart from seeing how they work a pointless exercise as all garages just fit new..
I was lucky to some degree i was in the motor trade of the era when you you bought an old Ford/Vauxhall and generally tarted it up and mixed and matched from other models, learnt more that way, the modern vehicle doesnt allow much of that and most are fitted with all the toys etc. anyway..you do really need to get employed to get any real experience.

I did 383 C&G and that was a mix of therory and practical, as our colege was skint we spent most of our practical time fixing our own cars (great)
as for stripping alternators/starters it is impossible to get the parts for modern cars from our dealers, and in some dealers they dont even rebuild gearboxes just fit replacement units

i think mine was a a 383 or a 380 ..... c and g ., our welding tutor ..... harry ricketts bless him , if hes still live ..... used to go very red .....around the top of his head .... he was bald , as i am now in my forties ...... .......mister ricketts ... was also the head of mv studies .......he was a bit of three piece suit wearer... who i think had also been an aircraft fitter...
Does any one else think LAW must be on drugs AND wearing boxing gloves when typing? my cat sits on the key board and does better.if a person can not be bothered to take the effort or show the respect to other ABers why should we reply?
