I can get insulted without having to visit this forum. Goodbye
If this is in response to the DPF thread then I'm not sure who insulted you, it was jokingly pointed out you were talking nonsense.
Forums don't get much more polite / friendlier than this one.
All the best
Davie
Toys .. Pram .. Bye lol
That's a bit permanent isn't it? Just give em some insults back, grow a thicker skin, grow a pair, or just admit that you don't know
what you're talking about (as alleged by others, not by me...)

i've had a whole thread created bitching about me ha ha i'm still here, man up 
I thought DPF was really just to catch the big lumps of soot out the exhaust on diesels
I thought (or never gave it much thought really) that EGR was just on petrol engines to send some exhaust gasses round the engine again to burn any
unburnt gasses in the exhaust
and i thought that diesels always ran on wide open throttle, and it was just the amount of diesel that changed to accelerate
is none of that right then?

Isnt leaving because you dont agree with something a bit like primary school days ?
Its my ball, and im off !
This site is on the whole friendly, Ive just read the DPF thread, and nobody insulted anyone.
If you want insulting try sticking a question on the Landyzone forum, ignorant cocks, spring to mind.
There are far worse forums than here.

To be fair the comments weren't exactly couched in the nicest way - but they were not rude, and just making sure a fellow member didn't act
on advice which was misguided.
Last thing the forum needs is wrong advice being recorded forever on here, with no correction - the site becomes worthless then.
Though, if the reaction to a pretty polite put down is to leave, then the forum will cope.

Ah, we had a pre-teen wiki-jockey who got hold of the wrong end of the stick so tried rummaging around in the World Wide Tombola and won an
embroidered hankerchief, a box of out of date Maltesers and a dog eared Ruth Rendall book, instead of the knowledge to educate everyone else. Everyone
else saw through the smoke and mirrors so red-faced stomperchops packed up his 'My First Book of Engines' and marched off.
But we all know he's popping back to see what we're saying. And he knows we know....

This has been answered numerous times..... BEC is better. Sorry for insulting you.

Surely there is a BIG clue in the name:
CAR engined car. .........That all seems correct.
Bike engined car......... Um, something wrong here.
you just dont get the same level of 'Toy thrown out of the pram these days' CaLvInX was always lurking somewhere to stir things up in the
good old days.
Calvin' I heard a rumor that you still browse from time to time 'From your Sunny Island Paridise'
I often find that your beliefs are of whats is correct depends on your knowlege level on the subject a few hundred years ago 'clever
poeople' thought that earth was the cener of everything.

That's because CalvinX was an ars*hole of the highest order - this is and has always been one of the most pleasant/friendliest/informative forums on the interweb........apart from the 2 years or so we were 'graced' with his presence - and no, I don't care if he's reading this
It would be a shame to loose anyone on here. Dont bite your nose to spite your face, this really is the best forum around.
Sorry for my tantrum yesterday!
I'm back and will take constructive critisism very well as always.
For the record, I completed my C&G light vehicle technicians award in 1973, diesels were not at all common in thoses days, not used in cars and
very rarely used in light commercials either.
I have worked in the motor trade all my working life but things have changed a lot! My first car had cable brakes, a 3 speed gearbox with no synchro
on 1st, 6volt electrics, semaphore indicators and a side valve engine with a dynamo and gravity fed coolong system!
I still work in the trade, although now with fork lift trucks. The diesel versions are still using indirect injection; however they have used KERS for
some time on electric trucks
I still believe that DPF was not installed by manufacturers just for a laugh but to counteract one of the issues of EGR. Consequently, if the DPF is
disconnected what stops the exhaust from belching deposits? How does it get through the MOT smoke test? What would happen to a Cat equipped diesel,
surely in time it will block the Cat?
Obviously don't criticise the way I spelt criticism in my last post

He re-registered under a different user name a while ago and posts on here quite
regularly. His posts these days however, are nowhere near as abusive or contraversial as they were under his CalvinX alter ego but you can
still see the potential in some of his comments..... quote:

The mental image I had of CalvinX was this [Calvin is the one on the left]:
I wonder what he really looks like?

CalvinEggs (tm) hard on the outside soft on the inside, according to him. He claimed to be speaking his mind, but you dont have to be rude to say what
you mean. If he really was the nice chap that everyone who met him thought he was, then he was seriously bad at expressing himself.
If he is still posting on here, then his attitude has changed more than Pauls on the road to Damascus...
[Edited on 16/2/12 by JoelP]
It's not hard to work out what he is called now if you just use the search function and a wee bit of lateral thought...
FWIW, I can also add that I once spoke to him (on the phone) when he was still Calvin and he was a polite and helpful chap.
Some people just don't translate very well when they communicate using the written word!
Scootz, you are so right!
i have fallen foul, of typing a reply with what i thought, only to re read it again later to read somthing totally different !!!

Wot-eva, the answer is CEC - I luuuurve my anchor

Welcome back Alan ! Just dont take offence at anyone.
Locost replaces most other forums.
stick in

I don't know my EGR from my DPF - doesn't bother me!!
This is a really good forum (not seen better) - stick around mate! You won't find a better technical resource and one with a very relaxed
'attitude'!
I've had my spats on here and am currently a "vulture" :-) but I can live with that!!!

I'm guessing that you've probably never met Calvin? I met him a few times before he moved to sunnier climes, you couldn't meet a nicer chap.
