Ordinary day, nothing special. Although, typically, there is much to be done. Followed the progress of three cars today. One S70 and another 850 wagon needed a timing-belt and oil seal changes. The 850's situation was a mess; the oil seals behind the timing-belt gears had exhausted, and oil burst out between the gears, messing up the engine covers and timing-belt. It was really a sight not worth seeing..
A Mitsubishi Triton came in in the middle of the day, needing engine oil and oil filter replacement. Fairly easy job.

| this was very, very, very dirty. |
A Vios also came in.. Got to see the underside of the Toyota. It's interesting to observe that the front-wheel-drive Toyota's underbody layout is, safe to say, 99% similar to the Volvo S70's underbody layout, of which I saw yesterday. I can easily recognise the transverse layout of the engine, the auto gearbox mounted to the left of the engine, the drive shafts connecting the gearbox to the front wheels.. These cars, apart from being two different marques, are nearly a decade apart, and yet there is little difference between the layout of the important mechanical bits.. Automotive technology seems not to have changed much over the years, and practicality, feasibility, and efficiency will always determine the design and advancement of any technology..
Because I get to play with other people's cars;
