Title: TD section....
Post by: feeutfo on 22 October 2009, 23:05:11
dont want to pester Admin but there's no other way to bring it up really.

I know the subject of a 2.5 TD section has been discussed before and decided against quite reasonably.

But just want to mention that i've noticed several TD related posts in general help slipping by with no replies. Some get as far as page 3 and i bumped 3 for replies in one day a week or so ago.

 Dont want a medal or out, but would TD owners be better served if they had their own section? Their posts would stay at the top of the page longer and would be easier to find by those giving advise...?

I suppose the danger is they may feel a bit left out? Just an observation really. :-)

not a bad idea to have a td help section. :y

Or for diesel section, not forgetting the dti.
Good idea. :y

I take your point, but it is the same for most of us, if we don't get an answer within a few hours the post has slipped onto the next page, and will never get read. I suppose we are a victim of our own success. Another section would help things by the sound of it.

Thing is, it would open up the gates for a

2.0 8v section
2.0/2.2 section
V6 section
2.5td section
2.2dti section
Omega on LPG section

so on so on....



I think it's best just to post in one place?  :-/

Of course .. we Elite owners deserve our own section away from the less sophisticated rabble .....  :)

Just have diesel and petrol sections that would be more simple.

Would be a good idea, however I guess you would have to have at least three sections - 'Petrol', 'Diesel' and 'General'. As help on the wishbones for example would be the same for both petrol and diesel, and hence a General section would be needed... :-?

was more a question for diesel owners and weather they would get better service, for want of a better word.
Depends if they feel ignored at the moment i suppose...... If their happy then fine? :-)


Of course in an extreme case Elite owners would have to be at the TOP of the list..... In FIRST place.... Obviously goes without saying. ;D

Personally I have never had any problems on getting help on my TD, there isn't such a wealth of diesel owners on here (in comparison to V6 owners) but the knowledgeable ones out there always come up with an answer.

I think the key to getting any help is putting as much useful information in the post as possible to try and set the scene for someone else to visualise.

Just putting "funny noise from car" wouldn't inspire me to help much regardless of whether it is a Diesel or Petrol. In my opinion.  :y

Apart from TB and OmegaToy, there's not many people that know a vast amount about the diesels.

Well this is it really, especially as TB has not got time to go searching pages 2 and 3, seems to me diesels should have a list of their own to be on page 1 for longer? ? ?
Would make them easier for him to find if nothing else, and there by help Twactor owners better. :-)

Tractor owners would find it easier to meet new friends too as they would all be together!  ;D ;D ;)

personally i think it would be a good idea!!! as i only get on here when internet is playing ball in spain!! been back i
n uk for 5 days now and only just got a computer working so i can check in!! having said that will be away from here from dinnertime tomorrow till sunday night so wont be on here till  then  ;D but the point of this [post is i tend to only go to the latest posts and hence often miss those 2 or 3 days old!!
dont think the boy misses to much to be honest  but a diesel section would certainly help !!! :y

I m against it - it would have the potential to create a split, which I reckon is bad for the community  :-/


That is my own personal opinion as a member, and not any kind of official view from the Admin team.

Yeah, see, we wouldn't want that. They may get lost wondering around in the wilderness or taken advantage of by bigger Tractors, or worse,a combine arvester, poor things.  As Jamie says, we dont want them wondering off on their own, tractor tipping is on the up :-)

Nout to do with me anyway, was just a thought tbh. :-)

I am inclined to agree with TB on this as any Omega irrespective of engine configuration, trim level or means of propulsion is more than adequately dealt with by the cumulative knowledge of the Forum membership as a whole. :y

Yup, a good hint in the title always attracts my attention more than 'Please Help' titles :y
