Mechanics Thread

martinr5232 · 2008-07-19 11:21:25

Just wondering how many mechanics post on this and would it be an idea to have a thread where we can bounce problems around the ones where its hair pulling time. Maybe Joe public might even get an insight into what we go through on a regular basis and cut us a bit of slack:rolleyes: Martin

I use the forum at www.honestjohn.co.uk often (called The Back Room) - it's excellent, generic, and answers are always bang on.

There are a couple of Merc forums too that I ask on, and there are a couple of professionals that post there

I did a poll here maybe a year ago asking about skill levels and who was a qualified mechanic etc. No qualified auto mechanics showed up.

The poll was here:

Some voted as being qualified but explained that technically they're not.
