There not mechanics they are component fitters their fault finding skills are very poor, but I do try to keep in with the technician where I am, but your right they haven't worked on the drive in the snow or in a leaking work shop made from OSB board like my first one with minimal tools but that's how you learn, in regards to leak of diesel issue its a slow process up untill the cabin fills I had a 407 where for months I could smell burnt diesel but with no real obvious signs then one day after a long journey I pulled up and though I'm on fire but no real signs of diesel then few weeks later the cabin started to fill which is when I noticed the sockets full and put 2 and 2-together sorted leak offs and sorted it straight away so needs sorting because in hailing that is not nice my ole women thought I was on something when I walked through the door ☺☺☺
