      Every day is a school day ... In my mid 60s and worked on vehicles and electrical installations all my life, must have used thousands of cable ties ... and finally learned not to just cut the top corner off a pack .. what the hell have I been doing with my life .. lol ... 🤠

Ich hoffe mein Jaguar mit dem 3.0 D V6 mit 275 PS Baujahr 2013 mit diesem Motor, wird keine gebrochene gebrochene Kurbelwelle haben 😂. Ich könnte die Reparatur nicht durchführen.
