Experts,,

Hi all, I’m new here and make my bread and butter in part by supplying the 4WD trade so I’m not sure if I should say any thing on this subject but here goes anyway.
I don’t agree with Pedro_The_Swift although one of his points is not a bad idea, the one about the tag so every one knows if you have a field of interest that may by of use to others.
I, for one am not here to build up business as I have a web site for that and I have not posted the web site in my profile for this reason.
I, like many others on this site just want to hear from other like minded Landie owners.
I have worked around Automotive Electrics and Electronics for nearly 30 years and have specialised in Dual Battery Systems for the last 14 years.
So I didn’t come here to get an education on that subject, but I know little about tyres and have been learning a fair bit on that subject from the trials and tribulations of others and that is what I thought this site was about.
There are other subjects that I have come across that have been of interest as well but there are other web sites I visit that have subjects of interest as well and I’m sure others on this site do the same to.
So back the his gripe, I would be interested in a site or forum dedicated to listing people who have specialist fields and are interested helping others with info and no strings ( COSTS ) attached.
Regards
PS Bigbugger I would be interested in your thoughts on this idea.

I have to admit I agree with One_Iota pretty much. But will add I joined to get any advice/ideas/laughs I could, and hopefully give some help. I've been driving, breaking, bending and modifiying landies for 25 years, and while no expert I have rebuilt just about everything on my cars from a series IIA to my current 94 disco but only because I cant aford some one to fix it for me.


P.S. apart from asking what the hell the stars and stuff meant the other day I dont care about them either, I ask or comment for advise which anyone can take or leave as is their right.

cheers all

Blitz

As I have stated in this thread before, I cant see a problem if someone has a job title in their signiture.

But to start a whole new forum/thread is going a bit to far I feel.

What :?:

No "People to watch out for when travelling through international airports" forum ?

:cry:

I was hoping for
"what to do when you hook the anchor rope of your mates boat- Expert"
:oops:

Gone Fishing!

This article may interest BB and make the rest of us who don't live near the Pilbara envious:

I guess we are not allowed to fish there but interesting never the less

Back to topic and seriously though.

All we need is some feed back.

They (who ever they may be) do say that man seeks not knowledge but certainty.

Many of the posts reflect this. Some post for the quick solution others wish to fish for answers.

My view is that if we have a problem we present it clearly and when we have done the work and having considered the views presented we have found the "fix" then we post it and close it off.

Then it is "on the record" for posterity and using the search engine it will be found.

Diagnosing a problem in this medium is difficult but worth a go because as we know when you take the mechanic for a drive to demonstrate the problem the symptoms are never apparent.

Let us keep it open and encourage critical thinking: analysis, synthesis and review. This is beyond title. Intelligent discourse even if it is some times speculative is important.
