Ben Muckley
Who are you?
I am Workshop Controller at John
Banks Honda cars and bikes in Bury
St Edmunds.
What do you do?
I am responsible for the smooth
running of the workshop on
both Honda vehicles and Honda
Motorbikes. I make sure there is a
smooth transition for the customers'
vehicles, this may involve problem solving, sourcing parts and helping the technicians. |
|
|
How long have you been in the motor trade?
I have been in the motor trade for
26 years, 6 years with John Banks
Group.
What is your favourite part of your job?
Every day is different, with different
challenges, my day goes fast and is
non-stop.
What do you do in your free time?
In my spare time I foster dogs for the
RSPCA. Over the last 2 ½ years I
have fostered over 30 dogs, some
have spent their last days with us
and we have rehabilitated others
so the RSPCA can rehome them
with new forever homes. Having
the dogs has been rewarding but
challenging, but our carpets and
curtains have sometimes been |
|
 |
| |
|
destroyed by the more mischievous ones.
Tell us something we may not know about you?
I was brought up in a remote village on top of a hill called The Crooked Road near Beattock, it's a village in Dumfries and Galloway, Scotland, approximately half a mile south-west of Moffat. It was so remote, when I was a child we used to bath in the river until it froze in the winter and I often had to feed the sheep because the farmers could not reach us if the snow drifts were too high. |

The big difference…Just like the petrol
grades, it’s been totally re-engineered.
A new chassis combined with an independent
suspension system, delivers a smooth ride
and precision handling. Underneath the
sleek bodywork, the power is delivered by a
responsive and refined 120PS 1.6 i-DTEC diesel
engine. This new sporty hatchback is not just a
driver's car, but an economical car as well. It will
take you further on each tank full, while giving
you a real sense of connection with the road
ahead. |
|
The dimensions of the Jazz are truly deceptive.
The new-look is bold and assertive on the
outside, with so much room on the inside it’s
uncanny. But that's not the only thing that
will surprise you; there's a new Sport grade
available with a responsive 130PS 1.5 litre
i-VTEC engine. The new Honda Jazz Sport –
still applauded for economy – is agile and eager
to go.
A sporty look - The Sporty Jazz front
bumper and grille are designed to give it a
purposeful, focused attitude. |

vehicle.

MOT Testing Changes
are coming…
The Driving and Vehicle
Standards Agency (DVSA) are
making changes to the way the
MOT is carried out. The changes
will take effect from 20th May
2018 and will affect the testing,
procedures and standards for
MOT tests in England Scotland
and Wales.
The full finalised changes will be
published at the end of April but
here is a highlight of some of the
changes
Advisories are being replaced
with minor fails – These are all
pre-written and approved by the
DVSA. You may still get a pass,
but they will be noted on your
test certificate. |
|
Reverse lights are now part of
the MOT for any car registered
from 1st September 2009 (59
plate onwards)
Daytime running lamps and front
fog lamps must work on vehicles
registered from March 2018 (18
plate onwards)
Engine Management Light is
now a major fail. It must come
on with the ignition and then turn
off when the engine is started.
Brake pad warning lights are a
major fail.
Handbrake with excessive travel
is now a major fail. Before it
would only fail if there was no
reserve travel. |
|
Oil leaks (engine, gearbox etc)
can be a major failure if they are
deemed large enough.
Emissions limits for diesels
registered after 1st of January
2014 have been reduced. All
diesels will now need to pass
the limit that was set by the
manufacturer when the car was
new.
These are some of the changes
but for further information or to
book an MOT please contact
us… |
