Sounds like Techenders will be brilliant for you. You can join in with some of us chatting about when we did this that and the other and inadvertently you will learn something. I usually pick up a little something every time I go. There are a few that actually do things , mostly I just chat about stuff and invent new ways to bodge things and have a beer or two. You will be made extremely welcome by everyone and I promise you that no one Will make anything more of this post than a bit of fun and hopefully you’ll love driving your van again especially when it steers nicely and changes gear without a pulley on the gearshift. Ozziedog,,,,,,,,, the oil drips though,,, HHhhmmmm HiiSSSSsssssssss
