i can do basically anything if i give it ago only to the fact that i've been a fitter machinist for 20 years. and experiance is paramount however limited to mostly things i have done , and find that some things you just need the right equipment such as diagnostic electronic equipment etc, engine hoists and so on , always listen to others and ask a specialist when needed. as there is always someone with more experiance or training in a certain area than one. really shits me when i take my car to an expert and end up diagnosing and fixing it myself, or fixing up their stuff ups . but on the other hand . its a god send when your baffled and you find someone who knows exactly what the problem is as they have had a paticular problem 50 times before you walked in. so i guess i'd be a self confessed jack of all but definately master of none.
