galling, its sort of like annoying.

as in
his behavior was annoying
his behavior was shocking.

I reckon credit to you for taking the step and doing it, having the technical knowledge to repair your own vehicle is a valuable skill. I did a mechanics course through tafe when i was in highschool. Best thing i ever did, saves me heaps being able to the work to my car instead of having to pay a mechanic. Good work Panda.

Thanks Stepho ... got the cycle well sussed out ... I actually didn't read the question properly in the first place ... needless to say, haven't made that mistake again!

Yes, they were looking at a road worth vehicle. Though still thought the question was very ambiguous & have told them as such (not that they give a rat's arse!).

Haven't got any more assignment questions wrong yet ... so will have to wait until I get one wrong to post the question & answer I put.

Though am still having problems with RUN DOWN TORQUE, to which I haven't received a reply as yet ...

Oh and someone I shan't mention, as am quite sure they're not quite themselves, put some smartarse remark about "galling" to which I'm really none the wiser ...

A couple of hundred responses have already been added so no doubt I'm not going to add to much technical value.

Firstly let me say congrats for haveing a go. Should be more of it.

Secondly as I'm sure someone has already pointed out, the cycle consists of Suck, push, bang, blow,

The second question I agree with you completely however I Susette that are looking @ a road registered vehicle.

There you go, probably a replication of the previous 250 odd answers, the only difference is I'm proud of a girl having a go

Well, I'd be lying if I said I found it easy ... but I do enjoy it immensely. Nice to hear from you Matt ... how've you been?

Its get easier, somethings are technical and take a while for the penny to drop but as you delve deeper stuff will just click, besides you have all of us on here to help you out

Have been good, started in my new job 3 weeks ago and loving it. Looking forward to recovering from 16 weeks without any pay and then getting back into some more 4wding.

Sounds great Matt, at least you had a much deserved break. Look forward to going out with you again - it's been awhile!

Do you mean the purpose of an internal combusion engine, as opposed to an external engine, such as a steam engine?
