Blue F1 Posted 29, March 2009 Report Share Posted 29, March 2009 Could the admins PLEEEEASE make a rule that people have to put the exact MODEL and SERIES of their car either in their signature, or in their fricking posts! It is really frustrating, especially when someone is discussing technical issues and usually ASKING for help or advice and they DON'T SAY WHAT THEIR CAR IS!!! It's just plain bad manners. Saying that you have an RS 225 is not good enough - is it a Sport, Sport cup, series 1, series 2, 225 F1 Team (Blue), 225 F1 R26, or what? (I've even seen discussion (in the FOR SALE / WANTED, usually) where it didn't specify whether it was for Clio or Megane!) They are different - just look up my posts on windscreen wipers - and if one batch of cars had a bad set of coil packs, or needed new injectors, or a rusty muffler - it would help to know. Considering that Renault Australia are a bit "reluctant" to share common problems (as someone said it's like getting blood from a stone) and even DENY sometimes that a problem has ever existed (read: rear LHS wheel alignment on Renault Megane F1and Cups) - if people put their model/series in, it helps a lot. I have used the input from this forum SO MANY TIMES to get stuff fixed, after initially being fobbed off. Ahh. OK , I've had my rant, I feel better now.

hamstrung Posted 29, March 2009 Report Share Posted 29, March 2009 But... the model of your car is in your name, not your signature. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mase Posted 3, April 2009 Report Share Posted 3, April 2009 I think this is a good idea. Changing my sig now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
griffyn Posted 3, April 2009 Report Share Posted 3, April 2009 Not enough info Mase... You are missing your Vin, the DOT and load rating off your tyres, credit account PIN and current hot and standing tyre pressures, and the wheelbase of the car you learned to drive in. If you wish to be accurate, the number of revolutions your engine has turned since manufacture would also be handy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mase Posted 3, April 2009 Report Share Posted 3, April 2009 ..and I had to drop 200 odd characters due to the 255 limit. It'll all (mostly) be gone tomorrow Was interesting getting the info together. I've kept the list My first car's wheel base was different either side of the car..but then again you'ld know that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dish Posted 4, April 2009 Report Share Posted 4, April 2009 What about your mother's maiden name Mase? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mase Posted 4, April 2009 Report Share Posted 4, April 2009 Look you guys, it's not pleasant being hassled by a mod and an admin just for being accurate as the posting requests! I'll change it to something you fellas would think more appropriate now before I get bannished to a GM forum or something equally terrifying .
