how-2-do section

I know admin are going to get sick of me, (sorry guys)

But over a period of time i have been doing a lot of restoration/repair work on my e34, just this weekend i have fixed the problem of only gettin hot air through my vents which involved fitting and stripping down the water valves, which i have taken photos of so as to help others , i have been taken a lot of photos lately of repair work that i have been doing, which has got my thinking that if this site had a how-2-do section ,i and people like myself could post instructions along with photos for you all to have excess to

IE/ how-2-do= water valve replacement hot/cold air fix.

We would be able to build up a library of repair/fix solutions with a easy to find how-2-do section,so what do you all think??

Surley sections like this will make this already very good forum better and better.

Pm sent hope it helps

Great idea as we all have knowledge of one thing or another through trial and error.

I find most jobs difficult to do when reading a workshop manual as they generally cover more than one model and so the pictures they show are never that comprehensive!!

A how to do section would make interesting reading for members new and old...

It get's the thumbs up from me

Thanks Andy! Will take a look.

He loves a challenge!

All i was hopeing for was a section marked up as how-2-do, and when a person clicked on this they would be greeted by a list of how-2-do`s ie

e34:how-2-do

e30:how-2-do

e39:how-2-do

and so on

and when one of these was clicked on you would get a list in time of how-2-do`s for that car /so if i was looking to replace my heater valve on my e34 i would click on the how-2-do section followed by e34 how-2-do and then look for the one marked up as :

( how-2-do=ie heater valve replacement/hot-cold air fix.)

 followed by step by step instructions and acompanying small photos, no reply post available only by pm to the guy who posted the how-2-do

Thanks Kbannon,

I think in time it will become very usefull,and hopfully the people who post up will use laymans terms so as most every body will be able to under stand, as most manuals do tend to get unnecessarily technical, plus people will be able to print off these how-2-do`s and make there own manual of the most common fix`s/problems related to there car.
