It has been covered a few times now, but a town name would be really helpful here - I am from Boston and am often up that way - if you have no better offers I would happily change discs, pads and spring.

It is difficult to comment on the rear brake line as there are a few places where it could need replacing - perhaps taking a picture of the offending area (if it was pointed out to you) would help?


Platty if you get your petrol from Tesco in Boston and if your car is a brown estate with much of the trim missing down the one side then I think I have seen you there, but did not approach you, woman on her own etc. etc.

I was in a silver Omega parked next to you.

With regards to the work for the MOT it nobody's fault and I am not blaming any forum members for not doing it, all though I was a little disappointed in the response.

I am however acutely aware that this is a male forum, and perhaps like many women it is hard to fit in here for a long period of time. :-* :-* :-* :-*

Personally I am rather offended at this... I have a wife and two daughters and I treat my wife no differently than I would treat a man. It comes across to me asthough your making the forum members out to be Sexist, just because you have not had the response you were hoping for.
If you had PM'd myself or Pete we would have no doubt been able to help you.
If you want to leave the forum then leave it is totally up to you, no one is making you leave and I am getting fed up with people saying they are going to leave hoping for the sympathy vote. :y

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.

I thought you were in Shropshire not Lincolshire!

Has anyone considered that maybe if the right location was specified in the first place on the forum it may have actually saved 24 hours of people looking and thinking it was too far away when actually it may have been on someones doorstep?

Just a thought

My final comments:

Lets not over intellectualise this chaps. I have enjoyed my time here at OOF but I do not feel it is for me any longer.

Still not an ex-member then!  :-?

For future reference of course but how do you resign from the forum? Do you have to hand-back your password or is it more drastic than that - maybe have to sell the car and get a BMW?

Which he has, quite rightly, kept to himself!

The actual point was that instead of Dusty replying with a town name when Mark asked her where she was, she retorted with "at the same address you sent the sticker to" or words to that effect.

I merely pointed out that actually I dont think its Mark that sends OOF stickers out thats all.

Anyway another storm in a teacup.
