Title: Lots of Video Tutorials coming i think
Post by: Craig_R on 26 January 2008, 16:30:09

Just had a look at a post in the help section and it was about removing the dash, as most know this is a 5 to 10 min job to, but the member said he was going to go to VX to get them to remove his dash and replace a bulb. I think Alot of newbies and beginners dont realise how easy some jobs are even if there is a worded step by step tutorial, i remember reading a few tutorials with no picys when i started and i found it still quite daughting even with it being step by step

So At the Cambelt Meet next Month i think it mat be wise to film all these easy jobs one giving a newbie the confedence to tackle them and may be even harder jobs.

With any luck we can sto VX taking Money from people and help new members keep their hard earned cash for beer :)

A list of jobs like this would be nice off everyone, and would give me an idea which to do in prefence.

I think Breathers and Throttle Body would be good on both V6 and 4 Pot and the steering idler pop into mind

Thanks
Craig

these are all good which i will cover but i want the easy quick tuts for newbies like take out the dash.

maybe removing and installing a rear blind, some thing that gives a quick result that will inspire a new person to the omega
