Can you teach me more about lug bolts & related tire tools?

I'd be putting money on you being the cause of that little faux pas!

Ah - right. Brexit is only about controlling 'immigration' from the EU, then? All others will be free to come and go as they please? Figures.

All the best robots are German. This valuable training video may have some information on the subject:

Nothing to do with immigration. Someone coming in from anywhere in the world to fix a robot on behalf a company is not expecting residency!

Maybe. I've done the brakes on this German care before, but where I hang the calipers on a special hook designed to take the stress off the brake lines.

The one great thing about doing all your own work is you know that mechanics screw up left and right but don't tell you, so, I know that a mechanic didn't do this because my cars, all around twice the average that people keep cars, have never been to a mechanic.

It's nice though to try those redneck methods, where it would be safer if I had a motor with a faceplate that I could bolt the rotor to, so that I could grind or sand down the surface at home with some semblance of evenness.

Lower air fare?

Yes the only reason you got this one is because they ran out of cheaper ones. Some new cars do not have spares...

Still going to need controls on who can and cannot come into the country. If you're going to stop itinerate EU fruit pickers who don't come to settle here either. Just to do a job of work.

I really can't see how you can have tight control over boarders while still making it easy for a foreign national to enter the country quickly - as would be needed in this case.

What was the name of that British king who invited Hengist and Horsa over to solve a few problems? Britain has taken over 70 years to lose WWII. That's got to be a record.

4 robots on tour doesn't rate on the list of TOP 14 world industrial robotic makers.

ABB are 3rd and they aren't German. Facilities for research, development and manufacturing located in Sweden, Czech Republic, Norway, Mexico, Japan, USA and China.

Stäubli is Swiss.

So no Germans with an installed base of more than 20,000 robots. In the main makers of industrial robots are Asian.

The Germans do make a lot of CNC controls.

I'm not sure that non-UK itinerate EU fruit pickers assemble cars!

Leaving the EU will not stop EU fruit pickers coming to work - just that they will probably need a work permit, have proof that the job exists, have no automatic rights to (unemployment or in-work) benefits nor a right to long term residency. In the case of fruit pickers .We will probably just go back to the system similar to that which worked prior to the EU concept of freedom of movement.

The same way as UK companies can send someone to the USA or Australia for similar. The company supplying the robots will have a service contract with service people available with the appropriate paper work already in place.

It took the UK until 2006 to pay back the loans made by USA and Canada during WW2.

Only a loser Remoaner could bring up Brexit in a thread like this.

If you know as much about Brexit as you do Newtonian Mechanics.....

When Britain tried to weasel out of WWI debt, Calvin Coolidge famously said 'They hired the money, didn't they?'

Coolidge saw through that blustering windbag Churchill. Churchill should have retired to a farm and raised collies after his WWI disgrace rather than fomenting another war trying to prove a hero. He was as wrong headed as G.W. Bush trying to show pops how it is done.

Very valid when considering the manufacturing future of the UK. Not that I'd expect you to care much about that.

You really are a poor loser.

Whilst in the EEC/EU for 40 years many UK companies out-sourced their manufacturing to the far east! The EU has done bugger all for a lot of the UK manufacturing industries so would have been unlikely to have done so in the future.

Not quite sure the point you're making? Are those UK companies like Dyson going to bring back manufacturing to the UK after we leave the EU? Or will it simply speed up even more leaving? Like Nissan, BMW, Jaguar, etc?

The point I'm making it is not as clear cut as in or out of the EU.

Many companies, both in the UK and other EU countries who sell us goods that the majority of us can afford currently have outsourced their manufacturing to the far east or countries outside of the EU. They are not operating within the the single market for manufacturing but find easy to bring the goods into the EU through all the red tape, bureaucracy and tariffs the doom and gloom merchants would have us believe would stop all future trade with the EU - or even the rest of the world if no free trade deals exist.

If you are that worried about protecting British car working jobs buy a car assembled in the UK rather than a foreign built car. If all those advocating remaining in the EU did so then the production at UK car plants wouldn't need exports of cars in order to survive and imports of completed cars would reduce - a win, win situation.

You are suggesting fortress UK? How do we get the energy and food needed in? Let alone everything else we don't make.

Brexiteers saying we can do well setting up new deals with the rest of the world outside the EU just so much hogwash?
