    Thanks for that!
    You forgot to mention; ...and with the help of those mechanics who don't use their half of the brain properly and give away all their knowledge for nothing in the internet forums.

    Again, I didn't mean to offend any mechanics on the forums.

    I admit the whole "half brain" comment should have been re- worded.
    I did type this pretty late at night sorry, maybe my brain was on 10%.

And speaking for myself 24 odd years at minus 5 "aircraft trade" , can be disappointing to read sometimes. Sorry don't come on here much so don't get a chance to rant and that just happens to be one of my pet hates .

    I sympathise completely and the only appropriate penance would be for you to give me your Golf and you take up a life of solitude, enlightenment and flower arranging.

    You know it's the honorable thing to do.

    Thanks Paul,
    Don't tempt me- although I might take up knitting instead.
    That would keep my gran happy.
