Whilst the discusson rages I was looking elsewhere for a heads up on diagnosing problems with the failing engine electronics in my 1992 Skoda Felicla and found an interesting car/garage/tuning/rolling road/ECU blog.

Many of us remember Mr.Emerald, Dave Walker, from his articles in the late, great CCC magazine... I've never met the man, but if his written work is anything to go by he must be a brilliant character !

He used to be the tech dude for 'Car Mechanics' magazine back in the 80's, I always LOL'd because he looked like the Vic Reeves character 'Graham Lister' in the shitty pic they had of him

Spoke like this. Misses off singular pronouns at start of sentences.

"Got Focus in shop today. Had trouble with ECU. Took ECU off. Had a problem with OMEX. Took all day to get started. Turned out some muppet had scotchblocked the wiring. Resoldered it. Was out the shop within five minutes."

[MrDuke]

Actually, didn't he get a few pages in PPC mag for a good while, monthly highlights from his rolling-road tune-ups? He might still be in there, it's been at least 2 years since I bought one though

 

 

EDIT: Also, this thread is most definitely on-topic and shite-related, IT R IN DA RONG 4RUM

 

EDIT EDIT: It seems it is in the right forum after all. Either someone's moved it or I'm having an extra-thick day.
