Ok whittle i spelt two words wrong

Four words

Good luck in finding someone, I'd have thought someone would give you a go. Although with a lot of people, on here especially, working on their projects is something they do if they find the time, so if they've got a lot to do they may prefer doing it on their own rather than looking over your shoulder.

Best of luck though.

Well said mate. All i wanna do is lend a hand and to try and pick up some more experience.
Im trying to get it towed home but i cnt find anyone. I would have it driven but it needs the head gasket replacing which is what ill do at work

i found the best way was to do things ya self ...look into what needs done and ask for advice and the crack on ..ive done up serverl mk3 golfs and 1976 beetle and did a complete engine change on my camper when the engine died.... all with asking people how and reading how to do it but i did have a little knologe about how to do little things so i surpose if you have not got a clue then helping someone is the best way or even just whaching em do stuff

PM VWmike he transports cars for people!

if he cant do it i may be able to collect it and drop it off.

Yeah, offer of free help and only gets criticism, if i was further along with mine could certainly do some sanding for me.

Seconded.

All of you on here had to learn from somewhere, you were not born with the natural ability to be perfect mechanics, and how many of you phone/mail/pm me for advice ?

I think It takes some balls to leave yourself open to stupid comments (tiz tut tut !!) and ask to be shown by helping. I hope none of you that were very swift to rip him ever need his help as I wonder how swift he would be to respond, If it were me I'd tell you go stick it up ya trumpet.

The word you guys should be looking for is sorry.

After that I'll consider the matter forgotten.


(rant over)

I fully agree what vw clarkson has to say, you wouldnt learn otherwise. Its more on here people prefer to work on their car/project themselves. I know I do mainly cos I find it relaxing (usually) and generally interesting, a break from the potentially mundane essay and revision sessions that university offers.

I wouldnt have learnt much if it having ago at things myself thankfully I have had the chance to do so. Fountains of vw knowledge as rich a Guy's are rare to find anyway so it would be fantastic to come across more people like that.

Best thing mate is get you're mk2 back and get busy. Sounds like you will have your hands full anyway

i was knocking no one but we all learn and do things diffrent ways

Best thing to do is just get a car and get stuck in, learn by doing and shame on the people that highlight peoples faults my spellings s**t too but i hate writeing and dont care lol
