Title: What on EARTH are you talking about?!?!
Post by: Anonymous on November 9, 2010, 15:48
I don't consider myself to be particularly thick, but I confess that I don't really know or understand the majority of a car's mechanics.

Am I the only idiot on here, or are one or two of you as confused as me?

Thanks for that!  I'll have a good read!

I have just made good (well, it's still subject to a test-drive) use of the rattle fixing pdf...other than looking at pretty pictures of pretty MR2s, it's about my limit!    s:oops: :oops: s:oops:

You should have a chat with my missus. She doesn't even know how to fill up with petrol !   s:roll: :roll: s:roll:  
Well I assume so because I always get the car back with the petrol light screaming at me !   s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

I was the same, but i am slowly learning, It takes time but i am happy with my progress. I dont consider myself a mechanic, but i can service my car and feel comfortable doing it  s:mrgreen: :mrgreen: s:mrgreen:  

It does help having some local technical friends you can call upon, Thanks Nic, Ste and Steve   s:bowdown: :bowdown: s:bowdown:
