Richard Crawley Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 Toby my friend, have you read this thread? http://www.tr-register.co.uk/forums/index....showtopic=13788 Perhaps I’m imagining it but we seem to be going around in circles a bit here! Have you checked the things already suggested to you on the previous posts you’ve made? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Guest tobyholland Posted April 27, 2008 Report Share Posted April 27, 2008 i don,t know.. thanks for your advice and threads,,but if we only go on threads it pointless having this forum,i use it to seek helpfull advice,and banter.. if people dont want to give it "dont" when your trying to solve a problem (to me) this is the road i will go down. so if anybody has any relevent advice to my problem , i will gladly read and take notice regards toby Quote Link to post Share on other sites

There are many of us who contribute to this forum on a daily basis to help those who need it but you have to be prepared to help yourself by either taking note & acting on the advice already given to you or reading similar threads of which there are many, some appearing within the last week or so. Just asking for help on the same fault over again without following the advice your given won’t cure it & I can’t see the point in repeating identical information that’s only just been posted!

Guest tobyholland Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 ive already toly you,,if you dont know or cant give advice "dont" nobody wants smart arse answers .just basic advice thank you,i dont have time to play your games regards toby Quote Link to post Share on other sites
david ferry Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 (edited) Toby, I shall another 'voice of reason' to Richard Crawley's. He isn't playing games. If anyone is, you are! Read the other thread to which Richard has very helpfully placed a link. He has already, very recently, placed a lot of relevant information concerning the problem you are experiencing. Carry out some of the tests suggested in this other thread, if you wish post your findings. Look for further help if needs be. If you are not able to follow some of the basic advice suggestions provided in this other thread, I would suggest you seek professional help for this problem. Here is an answer to one of your other questions: Chris Witor's website Good luck with sorting out your problems.

Richard Crawley Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Well that’s the first time I’ve been accused of playing games or called a smart arse; I can get a lot smarter believe me! I have replied with advice to your posts many times in the past, you are always very blunt, rarely give any acknowledgement or thanks & seem to be incapable following even the most basic advice. The last piece of advice I will ever give you is to take your car to someone who has some clue of what they are doing because, clearly, you don’t! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Alec Pringle Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Come on chaps, every TR6 owner has been driven to the terminal screaming abdabs at some point, usually by the PI system. Beat the wife, kick the cat, bury the screwdriver in the garage wall ? We can surely understand a certain degree of exasperation and frustration on Toby's part . . . ? That said, Richard and David have a valid point. This and other car Forums benefit a great deal from the input of experienced and knowledgeable enthusiasts, to the benefit of many, many owners. Only this weekend I was chatting with a TR owner who has been reading this Forum for 4 or 5 years, and still hasn't plucked up the courage (his words!) to contribute - but he reckons it's saved him thousands rather than just hundreds of pounds. For which he is extremely grateful, and uses his car a couple of times a year in charity fund raisers by way of thanks, in an anonymous roundabout fashion. That's good enough for me ! It can be a bit disheartening for regular contributors to spend time and effort trying to assist fellow TR nuts with problems, and then not to hear the follow-up. It's not thanks that are expected, it's just nice to know what works and what doesn't, how the problem panned-out in the end. Apart from anything else, it all adds to the general pool of knowledge. Finally, the search facility isn't always obvious to a newbie, until someone lends a helping hand - maybe we ought to have a 'Search Guide' pinned somewhere for the benefit of all ?

Eyetee Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Personally never had much success with the site search engine, perhaps a filing system (library reference style) could be designed, maybe along the lines of a parts manual.

Richard Crawley Posted April 28, 2008 Report Share Posted April 28, 2008 Hi Richard, now that you are a proclaimed 'smart arse' and you think you could be smarter, answer me this - if the speed of light is 186,000 miles per second, what is the speed of dark? keep up the good work Roger Hi there Roger; as always am happy to oblige. The speed of light in vacuum is defined to be about 299,792,458 m/sec which actually equates to slightly more; 186,282.397 miles/sec to be precise. When passing through a transparent or translucent medium, like glass or air, it’s actually less than its speed in a vacuum due to the reftactive index of the medium. In general relativity, however, the concepts of 'distance', 'time', and therefore 'speed' are not always unambiguously defined due to the curvature of spacetime caused by gravitation! Darkness is not fully understood & there are several theories; • Darkness does not move, it’s always present & light is layered on top of it. Consider a table as being dark & a table cloth as being light; when you pull the cloth off, the table itself (darkness) does not move. • Darkness moves at the same speed as light and meets the laws of motion in that Darkness is the equal and opposite reaction for the action of the movement of light. • A man stands at the doorway of his bedroom, attired in boxer shorts and a sleeveless undershirt. One hundred times in a row, he turns off the light switch and dashes for the bed. How many times does he see himself land under the covers? Zero. There isn't any light there. Obviously dark got there quicker than light. Ergo: Let " d" equal the speed of dark d = SQRT( e/m ) + 1; That’s the equation, you do the dimensional analysis! • Light moves. Darkness is the absence of light and does not. An analogy is; heat moves, cold is the absence of heat. You can describe the rate at which you “cool” and infer a “speed of cold” from that. However the physical reality is that only heat moves. Similarly you might infer a “speed of darkness” measuring the rate at which darkness envelopes a room when the light is switched off (for example). But be aware that you are actually “measuring” a function of the speed of light – in the room case it is the speed at which the light leaves the room (ie c for speed of light over n refractive index of room accounting for light exit paths, absorption and reflection at boundaries, etc).

JohnC Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 Hi Richard, I'm always amazed at your patience in giving the same advice over & again. I used to post a lot but got bored with repeating myself, and self-conscious about saying "use the search function", so I've got lazy. More power to your elbow - keep up the good work. Hi Toby, Just a suggestion, but if you look at the number of posts to Richard's name, you'll get a good idea how much he has contributed to this forum over the years - the number is a good indication in his case (not in others like mine where a goodly percentage were questions!). It would be a reasonable assumption that Richard is helping you. Not in the way a garage would (take $ and probably fix problem), but by trying to help you diagnose the problem in a way that will help you now and with future problems (yours and others'). As Alec said, we all have our frustrating times with our idiosyncratic vehicles, but taking it out on the very person who is trying to help may not be the best way forward. Good luck.

chrismitchell Posted April 29, 2008 Report Share Posted April 29, 2008 (edited) searching threads is indeed a pain. A better option might be a wiki. But then you need some sort of committee to decide what the major headings are, and some way of resolving the inevitable arguments that will arise as to the best advice to publish. And more workers to keep out the spam posters and advertisers. And to stop people correcting each others postings tit for tat. All adds up to a load of bureaucracy. So we end up with forums the world over which simply contain personal opinion and arguments arising. Crude simple just like certain cars.
