  1. Evenin all, about a year ago I posted a topic on careers after I got treated like poop, and here I am again, I've gone from a tech in the motor trade to service advisor, I love the job but very stressful, I have no problem working hard, but there is issues where I work that don't help the situation, I'm starting to think outside the motor trade now, the problem is the motor trade is all I know, I can't even think what other possibilities there is.

     

    My job history so far:

     

    I started as an apprentice at jaguar, and then became senior tech, i was there for about 9 years, I then moved away so had to change job, I then went to Ford as a tech for 8 months, then I went to Honda as a tech, where unfortunately I had issues, this lasted 3 months before I returned to Ford as a service advisor, I've now been there 8 ish months.

     

    I've been offered a job in sales after the sales manager approached me after watching me with customers, but with a baby on the way the hours would not suit me, which is a shame as I've never been approached for a job.

     

    After being a service advisor this would open a lot more doors, but to what? What is out there that is I could go into with my experience?

     

    Thanks for any help.

  2. i work for ford! the new engine is brilliant, i tested one the other day and have been very impressed, ive been banging on about this engine to all my customers, i get the same look, the ones who actually road test them say the same as me! just brilliant.

  3. I have bought a house about a year ago, the house to the side of me is owned by a housing association, there is a piece of land next to my property that was heavily over grown, so I requested that they cleared the land and maintained it properly, they did this, but now have left it with roots sticking out the ground, surrounding property's fencing have collapsed as they were being supported by the bushes, nettles have now started growing, and now my property is open to the surrounding property's.

     

    I have emailed them twice enquiring about the land, saying I'm interested in purchasing this land, if not then they need to maintain it properly. I had a call saying they received my email, but I have not had any feedback from this, and it's been 2 months now.

     

    What are my rights? Where do I stand with this?

     

    Thanks for any help.

  4. I have been looking into getting spares or repair vehicle, fixing them and then selling them on. I am an ex tech of jaguar ford and Honda, I now have all my tools at home and space to do it.

     

    Anyone have experience doing this and making it work?

    Any favourite faults to go for?

    Any places in stoke on Trent to get stock from?

     

     

    Thanks for any help

  5. No, this is not a ghost thread, but more annoying, my house is on a slight tilt, nothing majorly wrong as we have had it checked out, the only problem is the doers open and close themselves, unless we use a door stop, ive got to the point now where i want to do something about it.

     

    so , any tips? or is there door hinges that ad restriction to limit the movement?

     

    thanks in advance.

  6. col is your best man to talk to, gave me loads of help with my cv, discussed what my skills are, i went from a vehicle tech to service advisor, even though its in the same trade, its hard to go from a productive staff to non productive, but im doing it as it leads to managment, thanks to col and all his help im now working towards a career that i gave up on.

  7. Thank you sasha for the help so far, im basically creating a classified ad website for vehicles for free. there is a lot out there that already do this, but i wont know if i can do it without trying, so far its cost me pretty much nothing apart from the domain name, my brother is helping out alot, he is hosting the site on his server for free, so if it doesnt work, then i havent lost much.

     

    my question at the moment is to do with the legal side of it, which i dont know anyone who specializes in this area.

     

    1. Im making a drop down menu with all the makes and models, am i able to do this without gaining permission?

    2. Do i need to have a page with all the legal jargon, copywright my name logo etc?

    3. Do i need a disclaimer to say that any vehicle sold through my site is not owned by myself therefore i cant b sued if someone buys a car and its a shitbox?

     

    4. any other legal stuff i need to ad to cover ones bottom?

     

     

    thanks for any help, very much appreciated!
