Abbreviations nightmare!
Is there a reason that Abbreaviations are used so much ??
not every one knows there meanings. a typical post reads ....Help my ep and omb came loose from bcu unit, right you may know what it means but what about the rest of the members who dont?. please use the word and not the abbreviation with exeption to the obvious one's eg,etc which are in genaral use. or put a list up of them all |

They could just ask? No-one on here is gonna mind if someone asks what a certain abbreviation stands for. I've had to ask a few times myself lol.
SWMBO for example. (she who must be obeyed) BTW (BY THE WAY) What's ep and omb stand for?

Probably wouldn't be a bad idea to have a list for people new to the cars - if they know what the terms mean, they'll probably have a better chance of finding out about related issues. PCV, EGR, FBH etc. are all terms I'd never come across before buying my MG so there is a bit of a learning curve.
