i agree with that he was out of order

[tunnie]

I needed more than moral support doing my wishbones  you have to strip everything down in the front suspension to make life easier, shock, droplink, wheel hub

Mine were Lemforder & came with new nuts for the vertical & horizontal bolts, but did come with new pinch bolt & nut.

Wishbones are a pita first time round. It's awkward at various stages at times. So some apprehension is understandable. But it does seem there is some frustration among the OOF community re James's reliability. So perhaps others a bit more removed from the situation might now understand some of the comments here, provided I understand things correctly, which I very well may not. 

Thing is, we are ALL learning here. Even Master. The day we stop learning is the day we disappear up our own Jacksy. Weather that's wishbones, communication, reliability, work procedures, forgetfulness which is one of mine.... whatever!

Key is to note the shortcomings and improve on those. Sort it, and move on!


....IMO. 


(hopefully I'll also be able to follow my own advise  )

my reliability in terms of answering PMs has been afwul, I am first to admit. That said, you cannot knock me, I have fixed more Omega faults for members on here, many many for free, and involving long trips, so I cannot be all bad!

 I really don't think that is the point Daz is bringing into question, though.

Totally agree with that statement James

I knew you would pipe up

[MaxV6]

having watched James change V6 head gaskets by the side of the road , spend hours stripping and refitting thermostats,  transfer pipes,  HBV, and all sorts of other PITA jobs in conditions only a yeti would enjoy.....  I think the knocking on this thread is perhaps a little petty......

I concur. Seems to be somewhat the norm nowadays

I have again read this whole thread.

It seems some feel I have insulted James! In which case you have not read it properly.
Also I have knocked his work! Again you need to read it again.

What I did say and still stand by it is that as a Mobile Mechanic I find it strange for him to say he needed Moral Support.

So you can all climb down off your soapboxes now eh....

We all have are opinions I am welcome to mine. If you don't like or agree with what I have said Tough.

Daz.......

I can only repeat what I said last night - please point out where I said I NEEDED moral support in order to do the job?

All I said (in my first post) is that Blackviper came down "FOR" a bit of moral support (among other reasons, including sorting out his LPG query). This is not me saying I 'need' support.

Just because he came down, does not for one minute mean I NEEDED support, and neither did I ever say that. To the contrary, I had already completed the drivers side one when he got here, and was already in the process of refitting the passenger one.

You seem to be implying that, just because I had some company during (the late stages of) a wishbone change, I am therefore no longer competent to undertake the engine work I occasionally provide for members, such as cambelts?

It seems to me, that the only person who has misread anything here, is you.
