Ooo! I was trying not to end up there again.
Last time was when I was trying to find a 40a fuse. "They don't make em that size."
This time was as a result of an unplanned testing for a 4.3l 7 cylinder downgrade. It was courtesy of an HT lead (brand new, 700 miles ago), drifting loose and getting sheared off by the fan belt.
So how long can you stay sane presented with an oik stating that he cannot see that (Range) Rover have ever had a V8 engine from what's listed on his computer........?

I used to work at Halfords part time whilst I was at uni, and I agree, the vast majority of staff do not have a clue. The main reason for this is that they pay so poorly, that by the time any individual has learnt much about his/her area, they have found themselves another job and moved on. Also it is quite likely that the computer system which is controlled by head office, is so badly implemented that there is every possibility that half the cars out there in the real world were missed out. Sometimes you can be lucky and you will find someone who genuinely knows what they are talking about, but not very often.
In our local one (which is a massive one I have to say) you can't hear yourself think for sound of the 'background' muzak – bass bass bass bass.
Half the shop is just full of bolt-on exhausts and big wheels and tyres and coloured coded gearstick knobs – what's that about?
Everyone is about 19 and has spots and gelled hair that's combed forward and the stupid look of a twat with a white 205 diesel that has 1.9 wheels on and one of those six inch side sunstrips (on a white car) on the windscreen to make as if they've got a Cerb with the 'letterbox' effect – what's that about too?
There.
