I have rare number plates on both my cars, so rare in fact that I believe the registrations on both my cars are unique!!!

At the end of the day people like me who actually own a K-series and have actually worked on one should be the best people to comment on future sucesses or failings not someone who just reads the odd forum "sorry if that upsets some of you guys but I wouldn't dream of telling a TD4 owner how to go on cos I know F all about them.
If someone here has never owned a K-series, but has 30 years engine design and engineering under his belt, then that is an INCREDIBLY experienced person over-all
How many garage technicians/mechanics need to be?? thats not there job. I work for a very large motor manufacturer at there technical centre where chaps that are right now somewhere coming up with new and improved ways of doing things and i can tell you most of them don't know there arse from there elbow.True, 30 years in a garage maybe not, but 30 years Engineering and Design skills yes - how many garages do you go to where the technicians are qualified engine designers? mechanical engineers? electrical engineers? the type of chaps that study the thermal envelope of specifica alloys with reference to engine use?
- ie. the same chaps that are right now somewhere coming up with new and improved ways of doing things.
I'm talking about properly qualified individuals

Sorry but I can't agree with this one 30 years service doesn't make a dot if you've never looked into the tech about the after market upgrades. You can walk into any garage up and down the country and ask them about the MLS gasket "should it only be used if the head has been skimmed and the Oil ladder replaced? The only ones who will know are the garages who have looked into it. Everyone else will do what they know, half the job.
In my profession you have to keep moving, things change at an alarming rate "whats hot today is yesterdays news tomorrow, the same can be said about engineering etc. What was right 30 years ago get's replaced by a new design tomorrow or upgraded parts today......... It happens all the time and it might happen again with the K, until it does the work I've done is recommended as the best for now!
Enough said.cock! chaser
