    Luke based on what you have shared you have also been through a lot physically and emotionally over the last 3-5 years which is a testament to you as a human. My advice, regardless of what you do to make a living, is do things you enjoy, make content if it makes sense to you, then others will follow it. All the best.

    • @TorqueSteer
      @TorqueSteer  8 місяців тому +2

      I worked within quality for the transmission plant, part of the job involved tearing down and investigating defective transmissions and then installing them into vehicles and then test driving them.

    • @TorqueSteer

      Ford still are in Halewood. JLR is the Old Ford body assembly plant but the Ford transmission plant is still next door.

    • @apb3251
      @apb3251 8 місяців тому +1

      @@TorqueSteer I stand corrected. All the branding just appears to be JLR. You can still see the first car in the museum to roll off the production line. Before the site and “route 7” there used to be a medieval house and moat now under the transmission site.

      I can relate to that so much. The climate really puts a downer on it. Part of my goal for spring is to finish the garage off and build a car port. At least I can try and minimise the climate issues haha.
