Add me to the list. Always good to know what you are supposed to be doing rather than just guessing. =D>

We'd better find someone willing to be the teacher before we create a class list.........

If you do find a teacher, please add us to the class list.

We also won't be getting to the bash untill around lunchtime on the Friday so if a class could be run after this time that would be great.

Ditto - except that we're leaving lunchtime Friday, so I guess we'll miss it. If anybody is willing to make notes and, subject to Ian's appro, write a fact Sheet, that would be great.

Any more progress on a V6 workshop manual, Ian? I think you said you were trying other avenues, when the previous offer was undersubscribed. Even a fully detailed maintenance schedule would be better than the summarised info in the "owners handbook".

A fact sheet on servicing the V6 will be completed by the end of the month, maybe before.

I spoke to the publishers of the owners and workshop manuals last night, and he is keen to get this project moving. He will price up the publication of a V6 manual and get back to me. Minimum order will be 50. Will let you know when I have more news.

Correction. Mrs M just pointed out that we're there Thurs/Frid, so that means we're leaving lunchtime Saturday. Please put me down for a Friday tech tutorial if it happens. Ta, David.

Any more news on whether a teacher has been found yet?

Keeping my fingers crossed as this is the main reason we're coming...to find out what actually goes on under the bonnet (and front seats) of our machine!

Come on somebody !!! There must be one of you Petrol heads out there who can point to the Fillers/filters etc.......really basic stuff.....a lot of it would be the same as the diesel........if all else fails I will see what is involved and if one of you donates the Bongo we can work it out as we go alaon.
