Technical Section or How to fix it

shaginwagin — Thu, 14 Aug 2008 13:18:41 GMT

If you have anthing 'Technical 'or 'How to fix something 'that you want to ask, then ask it here. It can be mechanical, electrical, interior, body work, and if it dosen't fit any of these categories ask it here anyway. Don't be afraid to ask the question you may think that it is a silly question but ask it anyway. Someone will have an answer or they may have already had the same problem and found an answer. So ask away. Julian.
