Hello all.

I have just joined the forum and I am looking forward to engaging with and asking for expert advice when needed. I am a retired mechanical electrical engineer, although not in the automotive area, more factory, plant and building side. I however know my way around a car when it comes to maintenance, but when it comes to the in-depth stuff then that car the car guys expert areas
Although I did take out a gearbox out of a Austin Maxi, while it was parked in the parking bay outside our house, took it in the kitchen and stripped it down on the kitchen worktop, replaced some bearings and had in back in the car the next day, ready for work on the Monday, All with the only help from my 13yo daughter and a "Haynes Manual".
So I not afraid to get stuck in

Cheers. Blackie27. (Ian)

Thanks for the welcome Mickthemaverick.

My motto is "If it's totally broken, what else can happen"!

The only thing I don't touch, is anything to do with Gas installations.
Everything else I can do. Or at the very least give it a go.

Pretty much the same philosophy as me then Ian, as you will find if you have a look at this thread which relates my non motoring adventures: https://frenchcarforum.co.uk/forum/view ... 35#p683835
