No more weekend work, and hour shorter day, closer to home, and did I mention the bosses daughter?

Well bargain all round.

My mechanic works almost exclusively on old and new VWs and Audi's, but I know he is always stressed at the **** engineering of the newer VWs, like some of the newer Transporters, where stuff is hidden up under the dash, or slammed up against the firewall behind the engine, they seemed to have no idea items that require frequent maintenance should be accessible! I have been helping him pull out the whole dash, or heaters demisters, aircon, half the pheripherals on an engine etc on some of those transporters to get at something that takes 5 minutes to replace or fix, pissing him off no end when I tell him it was most probably designed by a man!!! Women wouldn't be so stupid.

They really need to get a couple of good old school aviation engineers into their design and engineering department, to make their design of things, all about logical engineering practice, if you need to maintain it, you should be able to get at it easily. R&M (Repairability and Maintainability) should be the key to designability.
