Hilux lane assist

[Mick Dempsey]

We used to have this little act you did to showcase the effectiveness of the radiator sealant.

You had a little bucket with a hole in the bottom, you’d fill it up with water then poured in this stuff and the hole got blocked, hey presto! Now, how many cases do you want?

I went into this one back street garage, where the suspiciously gleeful young man said ‘follow me’ when I asked to see the boss.

I found him (or at least the rear end of him) crouched under a sink in the rear of the garage, there was clearly some sort of crisis, but undaunted I started with the scripted spiel something along the lines of ‘say your radiator is leaking, what are you going to do?’

There came a deep menacing voice from underneath the sink

’if I come out from under here and there’s some prick with a bucket in his hand selling that sHit, I won’t be responsible for what happens!’

 

I got out of there as quickly as I could. That effectively was the end of my career as a door knocking sales man.

My confidence was shot to pieces.

Honda Acty is on my list but the engine is in a slightly weird place compared to the others.

My dad had a Honda garage back in the day, and sold an Acty van to a local butcher for deliveries. 
It came in for a service and the mechanics were disgusted to find it crawling with maggots when they removed the hatch to get to the engine….

Yeah. It’s half way down the bed so the dog box would be in the way. And now you say it, I’m highly likely to put deer in the back and breed the same maggots in the same place.
 

I think the Suzuki and Daihatsu engines are under the seats. Much more maintenance-conducive. The Subaru Sambar engine is behind the rear axle! Not sure why I’m averse to that but I am.
