A not so ancient limo is appraised…Spannerhands: The verdict is not good. Two small leaks: one from the steering, another from the transmission.
Huey: Can’t they
be fixed?
Spannerhands: They
can. But only by removing and disassembling the rack and the gearbox.
Huey: Costly.
Spannerhands: Could
be more than the vehicle’s value. Pity. The car runs good as new. You’d never
believe it had a fatal condition.
Huey: Back in the
days, the 60s, even the 70s, you could maintain your own car. Now you can’t. Not without specialized
computer diagnostics.
Spannerhands: They’ve
locked out the do it yourselfer.

Voice-over
And with 40% of new car costs being in the software needed to run the
vehicle, Spannerhands hasn’t got much of a show of fixing it himself nowadays.
Car runs perfectly but it’s headed for the scrapheap. Sent there because a couple of leaks. Shame.
