builders :-(
have a look in the service fuse there is slight possibility that they busted it already and stuck a bolt in place of it.
 
Like the way they seem to be building a stud wall in front of it all with the stud in between the intake and isolator.
I wish I was that thick that I didn't give a ----!

Time to get the cutters out,duty of care and all that,imagine how you'd feel if someone got a belt because of that dodgy tranny.Go on you know you want to.
 
builders will twist wires together or use choc block if they find one in the skip then come to you asking for insulation tape.
 
On the second picture, how do you use the left hand side socket?!!

To to be honest, that looks better than what I have seen before lol
