Hey all,
if anybodies seen my thread over at the e85 issues, I mentioned a knocking sound from the dashboard, some said it could be some loose bolts on the struts, as I'm a student and living away from home I don't have any tools!
The noises been getting worse and worse so passing by Williams BMW in Manchester I thought I'd try my luck by asking If I could borrow a spanner for 2 minutes just to tighten up the struts just in case that was the cause (cars booked in for inspection on the 21st and I need it daily :| )
Anyway I park my car opposite the mechanics area and go over and politely ask If I could quickly borrow a spanner to tighten 2 bolts and the guy's reply was "im just a tyre fitter" so I asked who could I speak to about quickly borrowing a spanner and he gave some sarcastic remarks then said I could try the parts department, I said "ok thanks very much" and as I'm walking away I'm 90% sure I heard him mutter "cheeky c**t" to one of the other guys.
the guy on the parts desk was alot more polite and friendly but wasn't helpful in helping me borrow a spanner, I gave up and just went on my merry way with the ever louder knocking noise :thumbsdown:
Im sure its not common practice to let some random person borrow a spanner but my car was quite literally opposite and I definitely don't expect to be called a cheeky c**t.
yes, I should probably buy a spanner but I just haven't had time to drive out of my way to buy one..hopefully tomorrow I'll get one!
