[daveg1]

I know there are a testers on here like Tonto so I wanted to know what sort of training you have to undergo and what you think o the job in general

[haz_pro]

none, its a job for window lickers.

[vts-dave]

lol never saw the white text there nearly had a go at you! you have to do a 3 day course to become a tester but you also need to be a fully qualified mechanic and have at least 4 years experience

bloody hell. would love to do it myself though.

[LeeM]

yeah you need full qualifications and garage experience to be allowed to do the test i think. looked into it as a sideline qualification but cba

[Tontsy]

4 years in the trade, a full license, experience working in a garage with the rights to do MOTs, and you cant apply. You have to be nominated.

My uncle got a new one, turbo was fucked straight away, sent it in, took them ages to get another one on it, went again, got another one, and I'm sure that went again. Best off road vehicle in the world, cos it's always in the garage.

Aye, he'd only had his previous one a year, only bought the new one for the new grille, and even his old one was in the garage with loads of electric faults. Don't think the sat nav ever worked properly in it, ever. Thing is, he's the kinda guy that needs big flash things to boost his ego, clearly insecure and likes to buy flash things to push in peoples faces, and sadly I've come to associate them with that sort of person, so I can't stand the things, the problems he has had with his just make me laugh and make me despise them more
