Chris Wilson Posted July 3, 2003 Share Posted July 3, 2003 I want to let Kevin know his Supra is fixed (the one Toyota had for ages and couldn't sort, he posted at length here about it ages ago), but I can't find his direct e-mail address, can anyone let me have it please? Cheers. I'll post another time on the problem, but want to ask his permission first, as a courtesy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Don't have his e-mail address, but I'm sure we're all glad it's fixed! Certainly a long running problem and I can't wait to find out what it actually was in the end. I just hope it wasn't too expensive! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris Wilson Posted July 4, 2003 Author Share Posted July 4, 2003 Thanks we are now in touch and he's collecting tomorrow. The problem itself was fairly trivial, the finding of it was horrendous. The whole thing was a pig of a job, you just have to start SOMEWHERE and diagnose every step, without being clever and thinking "it can't be that...". Sods Law says it will be one of the last things you check and it was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted July 4, 2003 Share Posted July 4, 2003 Sods Law says it will be one of the last things you check and it was. But why would you keep looking if you've found it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I may be missing something here, it's half twelve, i have just got in from the boozer, but despite reading it 3 times I STILL don't get it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 If it's any consolation I didn't either, or my mate......... And we were perfectly sobre Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 I thought I got it, but I was sober. Now I'm not (sober), and I'm not sure what it is. Things that once used to make sense no longer makes sense. What were we talking about again? But yes I don't make any sense, do I? probably not. I'm not sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thorin Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 So what was broken anyway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Just guessing here, but I think Chris was saying that the fault was relatively simple. Given that T0y0ta had had a go and could not find the fault, it would be reasonable for anyone to assume that the fault would be relatively complex. The starting point for someone else would therefore be beyond that basic level, that T0y0ta missed. But when all else failed in terms of more sophisticated fault finding, on returning to the basic levels of fault diagnosis, the fault was found. I.e. “it cant be that” because the muppets should have spotted it straight away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 I was just being facetious, as once you have found the fault you stop looking for the fault. Ergo it's the last place you looked. Clearer now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Willson Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 It's so blindingly obvious when you explain it sorry.............. oh well, I'm going back to bed.............. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Thank God for that, with so many of you questioning it I thought I was losing my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Doug, I understood! (A first I believe )...though with everyone confused I started to doubt myself! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 This whole thread makes more sense when you are not sober. I was being retentive. I can't wait to hear what it was T0y0ta could not find. :flame Dev Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doug Posted July 5, 2003 Share Posted July 5, 2003 Well there's something I'm sure we can all agree on. @ Alex, cheers bud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
