what's the sticker got to do with anything?

From my point of view, as this work involves brakes and especially if done for money, there is a liability issue if anything went wrong later.  Hence anyone doing this should have the appropriate insurance.


I have the appropriate insurance - and still wouldn't do it  ;D

Edit to add - that's not taking the Mick - I just don't do brake work on other cars :y

.....
....,but due to time/work pressures I would be unable to get to you or any other forum member for that matter.
I have been disappointed with this thread . ......
After more than 1200 posts  I fear that OOF is not for me anymore. :'( :'(
 .......

 :-? :-? :-? :-?
You only posted of your MOT fail yesterday afternoon, most people have time/work pressures too. You haven't been short on suggestions of where bits can be bought/obtained.

I certainly do not expect any special treatment .But the thread had already dropped well down the second page ,and I only have 10 days with which to MOT my miggy.So time is short. :-*

You have 10 working days, but you have 14 physical days (2 weeks)  which today was only 1 from 14 leaving 13.

but as allready mentioned, you dont exactly help yourself when your Avatar says one location and then then loosely mention annother.

I feel you put members on the spot by asking for help without proper details, and then turn it round on then as if it's thier fault you didnt get the help you were expecting.  Plus expecting them to travel to you  rather than you traveling to them as it is your car that requires the work.

Then say you are leaving because the thread ended up on the second page.

Dusty, I did hold you in high regard as I do all the ladies on the forum (including Lizzie ::))  Sadly you have slipped down the ladder in my estimation.  Ah well.  Such is life.

Can't say I have been following this post with interest :(

Believe main purpose of this forum is to help less knowlegable members to help themselves overcome issues on their cars, and it is certainly successsful in achieving this.  It is not a means of getting your car repaired foc or on the cheap at the drop of a hat, although there are people on here who will help for free or will offer economical repairs.  Most members have other commitments, for example work or other interests, and it is not on to expect immediate assistance and if it is not forthcoming to throw toys out of pram.

If Dusty wants to leave then my view is that the loss is hers not ours and quite frankly I don't give a t*ss!!

I can only surmise from her responses that her whereabouts have to be kept secret for whatever reason (it actually would have been helpful if she had given her location) and that she should get a pram with higher sides :-?

Strange attitude - no helping some folk :-/

what's the sticker got to do with anything?

From my point of view, as this work involves brakes and especially if done for money, there is a liability issue if anything went wrong later.  Hence anyone doing this should have the appropriate insurance.


Sounds asthough Mark has sent a Forum sticker so by the sounds of it means Mark knows where Dusty lives.
No, it would have been me who sent the sticker out, not Marks DTM Calib, so he wouldn't know where it was sent.


Lincolnshire is too far from me - even the near bits - so never really paid too much attention to this thread...

Shropshire was to far away for me, so I didn't read anymore of the thread... However I've now found out that she lives in Lincolnshire...  :o

Oh well... To late now as it looks like shes thrown her dummy out because there's nobody in Shropshire that can help? ::)

Can't quite get my head around the fact that someone can come on here and virtually demand help and expects someone to drive to her home to do it!! :o Sorry Dusty but that's not how it works on here.

I'm quite inept at fixing my own car and if I don't get my local garage to do the work, I politely ask members like Elite Pete or Loo-Knee if they can do it at their going rate and drive to them, not the other way round. When they replaced my wishbones I made a 360 mile round trip.

Dusty - time to get things in perpective methinks. ::)
