There's 1 reason I wouldn't leave, and that's because there are a few members on here that genuinely are old and wise, and I spend hours and hours reading and learning, something no one else sees. In the last 4 years I've learnt so much from the collective knowledge on this site and others. Databases like this don't occur frequently, and that's why it draws users internationally. I have nothing but respect for Dave, who set this up, and the walking encyclopedia's that contribute day in, day out, and I love learning.

Kevin B pushed me over the edge of losing respect, for what reason? He just decided to pick a fight because he likes feeling good about himself by telling people they are wrong because they are young.

I didnt say your were wrong, your entitled to you opinion as is everyone, you said your not the average person of your generation, that may be so, I steriotyped you based on y8ut responses, which is exactly what you did with auto boxes, there are some trick autos out there that will shame any manual, you then proceeded to attack everyone that questioned you, on the contrary not all people are wrong because there young, I work with some brilliant minded youg ppl but they also have the attitude to match, RR said walk away when one of us cranky bastards says something you dont like, then you will be the better person.

I meant "young". Bit tired!

You never stop learning! I love just reading these forums and learning new stuff, even if it is pointless stuff! lol

For christs sake, we are talking about stock 300tdi autos, that is what my comments are based on, this is in the Discovery 1 forum, not general chat.

I know there are trick autos, and there trick 'manuals' that will **** all over a torque converter.

I could drop it, as I have in the past, eventually you stand up for yourself. I still haven't heard of you having any qualifications other than being old.

The pointless stuff is often the best, it might not click straight away until you have read 3 or 4 poinless posts and put bits from each together, then bingo an answer..

when I say "pointless" I mean not relevant to what I'm currently doing, but eventually I'll use it!
