I hope you have some help then, 320 sounds a lot for one man.

I have come across Lucas parts in the green boxes that are just junk in posh pachage.
Lucas ignition parts are mostly made in India and are poor quality.Lucas was bought by TRW which was subsequently bought by ZF for the electronics r&d which still operates in Solihull, it appears that Delphi own the brand name Lucas, I doubt either ZF or Delphi would be turning out junk.
I think you bought junk parts in a green box that just happened to have Lucas written on it.
It's me an one other fitter. It's non stop work which gives the potential to earn good money but can get very stressful when work feels like it's building up.I hope you have some help then, 320 sounds a lot for one man.

I wouldn't say a shoe string, there was 3 of us. When it was 4 fitters there was just short on enough work too see us throughout the day, with 2 it's fine, we was given the offer a replacement which we both turned down. Would rather have lots to do than twiddling my thumbs for the last 2 hours of every day.Sounds like the boss is running the business on a shoe string, apart from the stress aspect, what about when either of you go on holiday? God forbid the remaining employee has an accident/becomes sick during that time too.

it only averages 1 vehicle per day, each. with 40 spare days a year (or 80 extra vehicles) - and thats assuming only 40 working weeks each fitter.
Exactly this, the odd breakdown, punchure etc. We have 4 ramps which causes issues when parts are held up and I have a van stuck on a ramp or a service which has multiple faults which run over to the next day. All part of the funIn theory, but I'd bet it doesn't work like that in real terms - emergency breakdowns, jobs which don't go to schedule [we all know about those, don't we lads? ] etc, then the pressure's on.
Yes.... it's spelled vehicles.....Is that a typo??

The workshop is too small for the amount vehicles that pass through it. Was probably fine 15 years ago, the fleet grows but the workshop doesn't. We work around it and make do. Plenty of ground outside and axle stands! Should probably keep this thread back on track and away from mesounds like you need another ramp or two, not more fitters?
