Actually that's about right Jim, If I don't know how it works and I can't find it on the forum I wait until Bob comes round we then have a discussion (bitchin match) about how we both think it works and therefore how you disassemble/undo/modify it.
We then attempt to remove it if I'm right and it works the way I thought I gloat about how much better than Bob I am...................... If I'm wrong I blame Bob for not knowing/telling me. If however I'm wrong and it breaks Bob gets it in the neck (it's ALWAYS HIS fault) and Zmanalex/Tarmac/CS get a PM
My background in cars - I grew up on a farm so have been driving cars/tractors/JCB's/motorbikes since about 10 and taking them apart since about the same age (I started putting them back together around 14 haha) I did a 2 year apprenticeship as a mechanic when I left school. That of course was over 20 years ago
When I got laid of from the garage I joined HM Forces and did a Btec in electronics and just played around with cars here and there.
Anyone who knows which end of a screwdriver to hold can do what I have done on here I'm a self taught welder wiring I do know from the Army, Most parts come with instructions and Google will find someone somewhere who has done something almost identical before
The rest is down to one of a few things either
1. The Balls to try
2. Too stupid to realise you don't have the skills to do it and blag the difference
3. The blind belief that if he can do it so can I
I'll let you decide which one applies to me
Don't let Bob know him and his good lady are part of the family now
