How about a "How to" index that shows all of the links to the "how to" posts that are all over this great forum.
Perhaps we could start by asking for a list of the how to's that we should be looking for.
Then we could have a closed thread that is a series of links to the various how to threads.
People would be surprised just how much help and information is dotted around on this forum.
A post with the links to the actual threads means that we would not have to rewrite them or anything.
Closing the thread (except perhaps to a moderator) means that it would not be diluted with "thanks" posts or questions? The thanks and questions could be posted on the actual thread leaving the list as just a complete set of links? In the how to section (of course) perhaps a sticky too
Comments please?
The list would be quite long but so useful to all of us.
Such as
Noisy door strap
RNS E conversion
Brake pad warning fault (on constantly)
Earth straps
DIS retrofit
BOSE retrofit, etc etc.
Servicing the OSS
etc.
etc.
I will "put my money where my mouth is and have a go at building the list, but I would like some help on which how to's are the most important so we can get them up there first. It is going to be a long process (I am not as quick as Spike is at finding these things, but I am learning)
Under each item in the list will be one or more links to relevant how to's?
I am sure the effort will be worth it, but not everyone would agree, so before I start work on this I thought it best to ask for views.
