I have a problem now

 

Most people find this forum because they have a problem or need information, the chances are the question you are seeking answers for has already been asked and answered, use the search feature to find it.

 

We are a nice bunch of boys and girls but as the site grows we have to be careful as to who gets full access, feel free to join in the topics started and soon you will be able to start your own,

Posting your own Questions

If you have a technical question which search fails to answer then feel free to post it in trainee member help - if it becomes a useful thread it will end up being moved to the relevant section.

 

Viewing Images

 

You will not be able to see images in threads yet either - if you click on 'options' on the top right of a topic and select 'download topic', html, open - you will be able to see the images (if they are JPG not BMP format).

 

What car do you have

 

It is essential that if you want a question answered you will need to let folk have as much information as possible, once you reach member status you can edit your signature and put your car details there (among other things), this saves retyping them each time. If you want the information there beforehand post in 'Trainee member help' and request a moderator add them to your signature.
