At least Auntly Arthur is the forgiving type
If you had access to a car like this, would you take it back right away? Neither would I.

sorry. couldn't resist. :oops:


Actually - not to put too fine a point on it - there's a big difference.....

I didn't head up my topic with !!!URGENT!!!

I knew what I'd done, I knew it went wrong, and how to fix it - I asked for assistance in sourcing parts, tools and getting the job done.

I wasn't asking something like 'where I should go to buy a spanner to fix this - a tool shop or a hardware shop?

or something like.......

"I need a new engine seal - which one should I get? The brown one or the black one?"

Do we see the difference???

They all sound quite legitimate to me.

Never be afraid to ask too many questions.

It is an act of courage to admit a failing and seek help to address it.
A coward blames anyone else.

Like the gent who flipped his MX5 on the old pac a little while ago, this gets my vote for courage.
