He doesn't seem to know Vanagons well enough to fix them.  But, I have a
personal grudge against Limey mechanics.  As an impressionable kid, I bought a
3.8S sedan from one who had just fettled (his word, not mind) it.  As it turned
out, he didn't know his ass from a hole in the ground when it came to Jags.
Don't let that accent fool you: the British are not devoid of jive asses, excuse
me, arses.
