Thats really useful to know, thank you. Yes, i was under the wrong impression.
 
Hmmm, I see the supporters are quite keen to know the answer to my original question😆
Good advice is that when you have dug a hole from which you cannot easily climb out its best to turn the JCB off!

Classic arrogance.

A member for under a week, you denigrate not only the Forum for being overly commercial but many long term members opinions and then make the assumption that "Supporters" are commercial members eagerly awaiting your answer.
 
As a recent member to this forum I have already noticed one or two similar traits to a couple of other forums I have belonged to for many years.

My reason for joining the forums is because I am an enthusiast and presume this is most peoples reason. We are not incredibly wealthy people but have a love for the marque and want to do as much restoration and repair as we can ourselves. This to me is the epitome of why people join forums. Relative to the number of people that own these marques we are a small majority but we all have the same aim in common. It is this reason why these forums are friendly and approachable.

I have already noticed that there are some people who probably like to think of themselves as "gurus" and often pipe in with comments that are of no use whatsoever because they never actually explain anything. It's easy to say " I have done that job many times and had no problems" but the questioner is generally asking "how is the job done". IMHO there is nothing worse than someone who allegedly knows an answer but omits to explain it. There is also evidence of independent tradespeople who are only on the forum to try and pick up business. They have no place on general forums and should be restricted to offering their services on a trade section of the forum.

We all learn very quickly from attempting jobs ourselves and it is this exchange of information between like minded people that makes a forum lively and exciting. It matters not whether someones experience is good or bad but we all learn from it and accordingly, shouldn't pass judgement.

Major contributors to forums can sometimes be a bit intimidating but they shouldn't be because of the reason we are all here. Let's face it, if we all had bottomless pits of dough none of us would waste time being on here would we?
The “tradespeople” you’re referring to provided information on Saturday and the following day you’re starting a thread to say that there is evidence that they’re only here to pick-up business.

You didn’t my have to pay for his time, and you didn’t have to pay to join or post on the forum because he and the people that “pipe in who are no use whatsoever” have paid for the upkeep of the forum.

The fact that the tradespeople in question are incredibly generous with their time to help others free of charge, and that pipers have been helpful and courteous makes your assertions even more poorly judged.

We’ll all be here - keen to help - the next time you need information or have a problem. Posting the solution to the problem will help others, even if you choose never to come back to the forum.
 
I have just spent an hour detailing the solution to the problem detailed in my first post and have now deleted it because In all of the forums I have ever belonged to I have never come across a more nasty, disagreeable and sanctimonious bunch of people.

My apologies to the good and decent people of this forum.

Your arrogance is only outshone by your ignorance.

You are clearly someone with a vastly overinflated sense of self and are nothing more than a spineless and needy troll.

Another one for the ignore list.
 
If nothing else the OP has united the majority of the Forum on this 🙄

I don’t see that as trolling. From what i can see you have been treated with courtesy and respect with members offering their best advice.

You risk being accused of having an inflated sense of entitlement and a lack of patience and humility.
Prince Harry ? ..Is that you ? :banana:

Self praise is no praise but I do agree. :dk:
