PS does any one know of forums which will tell me how to commision my central heating boiler, give me free legal advice, replace my own heart valve or even repair my washing machine...etc.etc
I also contribute to another forum but will only now give out advice to trade or some one who has shown by his post that he is capable of fault finding. there are plenty of owners club forums for amateurs. I am tired of certain garages and even strangers over the phone "picking my brains" I now am evasive with my over the phone diagonsis.
The web is an excellent medium to share information but the new threat to us all is owners buying parts on ebay and then trying to buy labour only or worse still asking us on the other forum how to fit them ! I feel on my travels,speaking to small garage owners that we are starting to earn what we deserve--pay rates need to rise to attract the calibre of person needed to work on modern vehicles. I could go on but I'm still working (paperwork) and it's saturday evening
