Title: How many members have read the guides and faq sections?
Post by: chrisgixer on 29 April 2015, 20:12:29
Just curious. Given recent posts. :)

Personally I read all the v6 ones and was very interested to see what problems occur with these engines, pre warned is pre armed as they say. So it is possible to recognise symptoms as they happen and then know what to do to fix it before it gets really expensive .

Just saying, like! ;)

You forgot the Yes option, but I presume that it's a rhetorical question ;)

Could do with a sticky for FAQs that filtered the questions that you might be likely to ask according to where you live and what water you drink ::)

I think we all know which people would have and which wouldn't have.  :-X

Anyway, my car gives three beeps when I lock / unlock it, the tyres on the front are worn to the chords on the inside edge, when it's warm it wont restart and there's oil dripping on the exhaust manifold. Any ideas or pointers?

Ive used about half of them over the last eight years, and read the rest on and off. I find it helps when Ive got an overall knowledge.

I've used and directed others to use your guides as they are better than some I've seen.

Thinking on, the other day I directed MrsGK to have a look at the starter motor guide, couldn't remember how much work was involved - then looked over her shoulder and realised Id written it...  ::)

I use the FAQ's and the maintenance guides AND the search option a lot.  :y
However, sometimes although the guides, etc, are brilliant, one does sometimes have to ask a question for clarification, or the problem is not quite the same as your problem.
And sometimes, whilst looking through the guides and FAQ's, it stares you in the face, but you do not see it.
As did the trades card FAQ in my case. After your post Chris, I went back and and looked again...how the hell did I miss it. :-[ But I did !!!!!!

Must admit I've only read a couple of bits,I'm not very good at finding stuff on computers and tend to give up too easily on things I don't really understand,so then I ask questions on here.

I'm sure we've all done that Terbs. But just rasing awareness a bit really. Happens a lot generally anyway. :y

My personal favourite is the urgent "can someone find x piece of info while a drive to the dealers/strip the engine/finish work " etc... :-[ ;D
