I dont really do many tutes these days, just trying hardest to keep up with crazy repairs.

We've missed your invaluable Tutes Steve. Good to see you back and thanks for the latest tute.

Yeah - you have left us hanging out for a long time for another one of these tutes. Keep them coming Steve. All good stuff, and we are vicariously living the dream of being a big-time repair guy.

That was great. I do enjoy the understated tone of your tutes too. I am sure if I attempted that there would be lot more drama and cursing :lol:

Thanks, have been deliberately slowing down the repairs and associated tutes, have plenty of photos of jobs, just time to sit down and type something up amongst other stuff

Pretty sure if the whole website "How To" was converted into a repair book and sold through someone like stewmac, it would work well, might even achieve a little fame in my corner of the world.
