    If a car's engine is made of aluminium, does it count as light mechanics?

      @nerthos since most engines still have iron/steel internals, maybe not. Also "light" might refer to scope or output

        @awl "Light" usually means peripherals rather than the engine block itself and the transmission. But it'd be a nice joke to drive a Renault Megane or something like that into a light mechanics shop and ask them to do the whole engine under that excuse, if just to see the faces of the workers.

          @nerthos ah, you can always get a megane and try it out. i've always been partial to the Renaul Clio model personally. Or at least preferrential.

            @awl I'm not interested in either, but I could borrow one just for the joke
