As the forums grow in depth and quality, more and more repeat posts will appear.
Where possible, the most regularly raised posts have been moved to the 'Technical FAQ' forum, where you should check in the first instance.
If your question is not resolved there, the next thing to try is the forums comprehensive search facility : simply click on the <search> button at the top of the forum, put in (a) relevant search word(s), click on the button to search for ANY or ALL of the entered words then click search and all previous entries related to your problem will be listed for you to browse.
Here are a few useful examples of keyword search phrases :
*egr*
*egr*valve*
egr AND valve
*egr* AND *valve*
(the *'s allow for example valve & valves)
here is an example of a bad search phrase :
my engine makes a lot of noise at 40mph
Additionally, to limit the information that is returned, you can restrict your search to a specific part of the forums in a number of ways ...
For example, by specifying the forum you want to search (eg Technical FAQ). When you perform your first search, one of the options in the search box is
Forum : [All available] v
From that drop down menu, you can select (for example), just the Technical FAQ forum, so your search is limited to just that forum!
To further refine your search, there is another drop-down box where you can choose to search the entire forum, (titles AND message content), just the messages or just the titles (this last option is great, but ONLY if people post with meaningful titles!)
Finally, if your question still remains unanswered, please feel free to post your question. You will need to have registered ON THE FORUMS before you can post a new message or respond to an existing one... just click on the <register> button at the top of the screen, choose your own userid and password and you're away... please remember to update your profile, to include a rough location of where you are - the town/county you live in will do ... this way, other local members may be able to help out if you have a problem!
For a general overview of the forum facilities, click the FAQ button at the top of the forum.
Finally, if you're having trouble with any aspect of the club site, (or need help with any aspect of using your PC), try the Computer bytes forum - everything from 'how to make the site work for AOL users, to advice on Viruses, to 'how to post a picture on the net'.
Thanks for taking the time to read this message.
