Hi it's me Nickie

The week five 7th September for the professinal practice TT6315.

This week I went to the workshop to observe the service and job. in the NewZealand the workshop can be indentify for the four group:

group one: mechanical, which is most popular in newzealand and for most job is concern with the mechanical, like brake, suspension, engine.

group two: electrical, because the electrical units is more complex and amounts is increasing inside the car there is more job start to moving from mechanical to electrical.
liking airbag, sensor, and the electrical labour fee is more expensive than mechanical. the mechanical is around the 80 dollar, the electrical labour is around 110 dollar per hours.

group three: specilist: liking the muffler, radiator, weilding. head gasket machining.

group four:  panel beater and painting this shop has bigger different from each other, because the equipment, rightnow some vehicle is made of aliminum and big job need chassis machince, so bigger panel shop can do any thing(painting room), small panel shop only can repair the bump and painting  something like that.

The work shop  what I am doing apprenticeship is mechanical type, but can do some  electrical job, the work shop foucsed on the motorcycle and car mechanical repaired.

the picture below shows one of job I done in the workshop testing the driverside switch unit.

next week I will write down more detail about job and service in the workshop.
