Good post Zippy
Less than 20pence per week for the info available is a bargain in my eyes as proven by one of our newest members saving their t2 from the scrap heap.

You forgot Briggie's jokes as well.... I'd happily be paid 20p a week to have to put up with them... DOH.

I forget, are you a scotch man or not, cos I got a rather nice one here and as it is very rare, I might just share a little, not much mind, but a taste, Rick

Cool To renew or not to renew that is the subscription ?

Okay its not Willy Shakespear but its close enough !

Well my Nissan days have probably gone forever (but never say never again ).

Thing is will I be able to resist posting a reply or putting my halfpenny worth in?

Not sure when my renewal is but that will be the test - to sleep perchance to dream of r3mR days !

Hyundai having last little job done on the 25 th January to get rid of ARB noise bush/clamp ready for MoT in Feb / March !

No more oil leaks from anywhere and the Lucas PAS stop leak has worked a treat.

Hoping for a tad snow fall to try out the Santa Clause/Fe

well worth the money. for me, and many others, its paid for itself time and time again but more importantly the members are worth it more, great site. I've made actual friends through this site, that's how friendly this place is.

Well most of my posts, like many others on here, are to help people rather than request help.
I enjoy helping people, most of my knowledge comes from other members posts on this site, and not from my own work on my 18 year old Mav.
The really best part of helping people, and suggesting a possible solution, is when you find out you were right, and you get the thanks. That makes a great difference. OK many times you might not be right, and that's when you assimilate the new knowledge, just like the Borg in StartTrek.
We are the collective... members come and go, but the knowledge is still there.

So if anything does go wrong, I then use that acquired knowledge and get on with it.

I have learnt what a MAF does, a crank case position sensor is, an intercooler or how to check the air con.
The thing is, my Mav has non of these...
But our Picasso does...

Now, my membership is due for renewal next month, now should I renew or not?









ONLY JOKING....

Of course I will...
