This is so common on so many forums now, a collection of 'experts' and nerds exchanging posts for their own amusement, the rest don't get a look. I am growing increasingly bored with this forum, as so many posts are now of this kind. I regret to say, the forum is quickly loosing its sparkle!. |

I agree that the criticism was a bit harsh, however perhaps Andy could have mentioned where he thought the water might have got in and where in the loom the wiring was affected. Just in case the problem affects someone else (not me, all mine are manuals!).

In any case why should I ask for more detail, when the idea behind the forum is to share information so as to learn from each other especially from the 'experts'. Surely the right thing to do is to post in some more detail exactly what was carried out,etc, so the rest of us non 'experts' can learn. People should not get offended when they are criticized, instead they should be able to respond in a constructive way which negates the need for criticism in the first instance. |
