I did an apprenticeship with a Diesel engine manufacturer. Have rebuilt a mini engine for (then girlfriend, now wife) when she was at uni. Replaced head gasket on the first car i owned as it leaked water into the oil.

So i guess you could say it used to be an occupation and a hobby but now its neither i prefer to stay ni the warm and keep my hands clean and uncut. But then again i did replace burst flexible brake hoses on my car this year myself to save me £150
Which diesel engine manufacturer was that Gaz? Not the rather big one at Eastfield by any chance?
