I used to check in with Technical most days to scan through the first three or four pages, in case anyone had a problem I could help with. Having driven many different old sheds and hung around the fringes of the motor trade for a long time I've seen most problems that may evade both those with no interest in the oily bits and those who left behind the art of bodging unreliable cars cheaply several years ago in favour of paying someone else to fix them properly. Also having spent most of the Noughties as a cab driver I am able to post with my experience of the likely problems with worn-out, very-high-mileage, modern machinery such as DPFs, DMFs, CR diesel etc.
The only point I would raise about it here is that it was obvious that a lot of new topics were posted by people who had been directed there from either the main website or the newspaper. No-one knows we're here with our wealth of experience!
