My first question would be 'why do you want to drive an orange van when yellow is FAR better?!'

Be prepared for never ending questions, they ask you how you'd go about a repair, then tell you for whatever reason you can't do it that way. Then the same again for your second answer...and so on, just to prove you can think on your feet.

Just keep your calm and don't rush and blurt out any old crap!

Have you really thought about the job? I think you boys do 12 hour shifts, you'll be doing nights, weekends and bank holidays... it WILL play **** with your personal and social life (they'll probs ask you this too). That said it's massively rewarding and there's money there to earn.

Good luck! If you do decide to come over to the yellow side give me a shout

Good luck

Cannot help you with the technicalities as I know no the square root of sod all about car maintenance. Just stay calm, and speak slowly and clearly. And if you are good at typing, you could always have a laptop with Google to hand Just in case

Hope it all went well for you, it would be interesting to know what kind of technical questions they asked you.
