I see a fix.

Admins deal with what they do now. No change.

Gixer is very keen to let members know what are the best / cost effective parts for the omega. Very good of him Iin my opinion. Give Gixer the running of this section. He owns the recommended parts section and is responsible for what goes in.

Job jobbed

before he strops off permanently closes the site members.

There are 4 owners, so if one "strops off", the other 3 can still run it.

As to no comments from me, I'm purposely keeping quiet, as I don't want to influence anything.


What parts are best for Omegas isn't really part of a Recommended Sellers section, or about the original post, but happy to have a ponder about it as a separate thing.


So back on topic... ?

Aye? I thought you said recommended isn't happening? Offered no further to a solution so we ended up at cross purposes, with an alternative offered.

Surely recommended parts leads to a supplier ? ....of said parts...? (Gixer throws hands in air )

That is one of the most hilarious and yet simultaneously quite sad things I've read in a long time

We all know the advice given on here is good,and well founded with years,of trail and effort,the same goes for what parts are going to last the longest,but some members have found that for,there budget,at the time of repair a cheaper alternative is needed, so they take the cheaper route, post there findings,what they have done,only to be,greeted with,abuse and offensive posting,
 yes an advised list of recommended frequently changed parts is a great idea,but remember people will still buy on initial price not longevity,.

As said , it will need to be graded, as in costs. As with tyres,as in
Budget
Mid range
Premium
Where applicable. Type of thing. See?

The thing to avoid is;

Op, I need a good wheel bearing.

Member, here's one. "Link to conti direct bearing for £35 posted up"

Op, thanks that's really cheap


3 months later op posts again. My wheel bearing has failed, £35 peshed up the wall and I've got to do the whole job again. Thanks very much oof member.

Another member posts up. Yes those bearings are shite, you should of been given this link for fag bearings for £50. I know these to be quality bearings. Currently on the car for x miles and xyears etc.

In other words, a known quantity. This is a real situation happened on oof by the way. And "good" obviously doesn't mean so cheap it fails in short order.


And Bear. Your a nutter.

Could we not have a readers wives / girlfriends section and Lord Opti could be the administrator?

An excellent Idea.........................

What section do you suggest for STMO to be an admin?...............

[tidla]

Dunelm quality tester.

Dunelm quality tester.

Yes, Mattress Protector Tester, both ends..............

STMO can be the chief advisor and admin for when OOF members want a car other than an Omega, he can pick the ideal make, model, engine, trim level and of course most importantly the colour.

Apparently, metallic puke green is the must have colour in all the top fashion circles in downtown Wakefield at the moment.
