out of work...

been out of work now for a few month. being doing the usual sending out cv,s and getting no reply s well i sent off another cv today but this time its to go back on the tools i served my time on HGVs and have worked if a few garages in my time but today i applied to work in a small 4x4 garage thats looking for a mechanic with some offroad experience. but the only thing is that if iam lucky enough to get the job i will have to work on land rovers all day.and me being a frontera man as well .if i get an interview i am leaving my volvo in the drive and taking my truck its insured and that all but its going

Good luck with it mate, sure you shouldn't be looking to borrow a Land Rover to go there????

Good luck with it I'm sure we could fin you some land rover stickers or one's that say (my other 4x4 is a land rover)

at least they will see i have a sence of humour

Is that for the stickers or driving the frontera

my frontera or what i like to call disposable offroading

Just out of curisoty are landrovers not easier to work on than frontera's?

oh and good luck.

its easer to get bits for landys thats why a lot of folk like them because the market for after market bits and add ons is huge.
when you start a job on any type of vehicle no matter what it is you always approach them the same way.
as every one has basicly the same engine configuration the internals mostly operate in the same way apart from the wankile
suspensions all do the same thing they go up and down no matter if its hydronewmatic or coil and shock or leaf and shock
basicly under the skin they all look the same just in different ways the only reason i build fronters is there are thousands of land rovers out there and they all look the same but a moded frontera are far and few between

Best of luck mate hope you get it.

And thats true about the frontys you dont see many modified ones going up and down the road.
All there running gear is Izuzu so ther easy to get parts for to if you no where to look.

i have got an interview with this garage first reply i have had back
now i feel good, very good, dame good i think you get the picture
10 am wednesday

Excellent mate, remeber shirt, tie and polish you head

Best of luck mate!

Hope it goes well for you mate

cheers guys

i am as happy as a pig in the brown stuff...... well i only went and got the job so its official a frontera man working with land rover.

Excellent mate that is great news, was it the short skirt and tight blouse that did it?

no it was the gleam off my shiny head and my mankinnie

That's great news mean doing a job that is your hobby her in doors will be pleased as well now you can spend some wages on the frontera

Well done mate i wish you all the best in your new job as a green oval mechanic did you tell them you drive a fronty ?

yes i told them but the thing is they seen my old one offroading last year

Congrats Dicky, that's excellent news!

Is it a main dealer or an independent you're working for?
