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

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?

Better than that! We're still graced with his presence.  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.....

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

I wouldn't be too concerned about how things have changed. I had to google DPF just to see what you was all talking about.

Met him once or twice struck me that his barck worce than his bite as I recall. he would make a good yorkshire man said what was on his brain and if
you took offence or didnt agree that was your problem. Opininated yes Argumentative yes but intresting people tend to be. Some people enyoy the power
of winding people up and having a right good argument !!

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...

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!
It's Evolution Baby!

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.

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 suspect he is a bit like my friend, good to his mates but bad news for a lot of other people. My chum got himself a life sentence with that
attitude.
It does seem his written style hasnt changed much afterall!
