| Ron | That's the cleaning finished, Ted. It looks almost brand new now. |
| Ted | Shall we adjust the clutch and check the brakes? |
| Ron | O.K. And then I'll change the spark plugs. We won't be long now. |
| Ted | Will you pass me that spanner, please, Ron? No, not that one. The big one behind your left foot. |
| Ron | Here you are. |
| Ted | Your front tyres are nearly worn out, Ron. Had you noticed? |
| Ron | No I hadn't. I'll buy two new ones tomorrow. |
| Ted | I've checked the oil level - I'll just look at the battery now. Hmm! There's no water. Shall I fill it up? |
| Ron | Yes please. But get a move on, Ted; it's going to rain in a minute. |
| Ted | Start the engine then, Ron. |
| Ron | Funny! It won't start. I wonder what's up with it? |
| Ted | Look, there's Sid Greenham over there. He'll know what's wrong. Shall I ask him? |
| Ron | All right. |
| Ted | Will you come and see what's up with my friend's car, Sid? We can't make it start. |
| Sid | I'll put it right for you in a jiffy, but I'm a professional mechanic and It'll cost you a pound. All right, go ahead. |
| Sid | Just disconnect these two wires, change them around like this and connect them up again. Now the engine will start with no trouble. |
| Ron | A pound for that? It only took twenty seconds, |
| Sid | Ah, but you've paid for what I know, not for what I've done! |
