Not angry, just in disbelief. I've never heard anyone say learn by doing before. All those car mechanics just turned up on the job one day and their boss told em to just learn to fix them by doing it. Here on earth, I think people are trained or shown what to do so they learn. Might be wrong through.

Sorry Kev, you're wrong. Training gives you the basics. You learn by doing - it's called experience.

Thanks mate, however i thought those instructions were pish. I dono what it is about people when they make up instructions for others to follow, some people are good (they make good idiots guides) and others are just sh!t and assume.

Looks a bit over complicated for me! 
It might be ANOTHER 2 weeks until I can do an 'easy' one since my cars still waiting at the bl00dy docks!!!

Thanks for the link. It's a shame the pictures are so poor! It doesn't really shed much light for me.
