    A few years owning,troubleshooting and maintaining my own cars.Mainly VWs.

    I have a background in engineering (electronics) which can prove useful in diagnosing automotive electrical problems.

    Started my apprenticeship in ’83, qualified in ’86, light + heavy vehicle mechanic with auto electrical endorsement. Did the Technician year in Bolton St, did the IMI Cert, then the Diploma, completed the IRTE entrance exams, did the IMI Automotive Engineer. Lectured in Bolton St for seven years. Did an ACCA accountancy post grad diploma, buggered off out foreign as a manager to earn tax free money for eight years, came back a few years ago and opened an auto electrical business. Have forgot 90% of what I learned in the process.


    ;)

    I have been qualified just shy of 10 years now, spent the first 8 in an independant service center gaining a wide range of experience with most cars however Japanese vehicles and Nissan especially are my particular area of interest.
    I now have my own workshop dealing mostly with imported high performance nissans with everything available from Japanese spec diagnostics right through to full high spec engine builds as well as diagnostics and service/repairs to all makes.

    I am active on many other car specific forums and am happy to give any help and advice I can.

    I've just gotten a new job - changing from Chassis engineer at Jaguar Land Rover to join the Aerodynamics team (also JLR) as a wind noise engineer. Will involve acoustic wind tunnel testing, CFD, autobahn testing etc etc.

    Probably of less use than chassis engineering in terms of what I can contribute here but thought I may as well share it anyway!

    My background is 30 years of skinning knuckles on Land Rovers for pleasure (need my head examining I think :rolleyes:)

    Mr David, done any work on the Defender replacement? Bet you won't be seeing it in the Aerodynamics team!

    Good idea this but I may not be as helpful as I'd like to be....I'm an accountant during the week and my own mechanic at the wkend!!

    Do everything myself on my 1997 Laguna, 1998 Micra, 1986 E30 and 1986 E28 and the gf's 2005 Focus II and the mother's 2003 MINI (but this has only been an oil change etc as its too reliable!)

    Haven't done anything on the replacement but know some of the details flying around in the early stages of "Icon" :)

    The defender is an aerodynamic tour de force - it can drive upside down in a tunnel at 120mph due to the huge amount of generated downforce :p

    anyway, we better not drag this thread off topic!:o:o
