I think that’s what he meant but about the brakes etc but just didn’t give a full explanation as he said he’d been very busy because with the virus a lot of staff were off. I knew what he meant though as I’ve had a diff seize in an old transit van while doing 70 in the outside lane of the M1 years ago and that was not fun to say the least.
With the new electric power steering it works differently from conventional fluid assisted systems and when it fails the steering is unbelievably hard to turn, I had a Vauxhall Meriva that had an intermittent fault with this (refused to do a factory recall) and almost crashed on a few occasions until Vauxhall UK agreed to replace for free.
On a positive note the Supermarket had plenty of stock of most things, still a bit sparse on loo roll, hand cleaners, milk etc but they did have some stock and I could see some trolley baskets ready to go out, all in all very near normal stock wise.
