Aw, did I upset you there? :xhuh:
It was a pointless thread to start in the first place imho, you seemed to be having a pop at someone who was unfortunate enough to suffer an engine failure. He is not unique, by any means - there have been a few cases caused by low oil level, oil starvation and mistaken gear selection. As others have pointed out, the engines are pretty reliable but they do have their weaknesses and nothing is unbreakable.
There's a good chance that the owner of that car uses this forum. If I were him I would be pretty upset about my dead engine, and wouldn't appreciate someone taking the mick as well. There are many better ways of asking what happened, while at the same time showing a bit more sensitivity to the poor bloke.
You then continued to spread BS about how 'we all know they drink oil' - well actually they don't, not at all. Some do, yes, but only some :idea:
I personally get a bit fed up with people spreading urban myths on here, as if they are undeniable fact. And I'm not alone in that. The main purpose of this forum is to share information about the DC5 and help people. OK so we take the mick when people come and ask if they're any good (because it's sort of obvious what we think as we all own them) but generally the info on here is posted in good faith and helpful spirit.
I don't seem to remember having a pop at your grammar, just took the mick out of your use of 'things' like 'da' 'u' and 'any1'. This might be OK on a mobile 'phone with crap keyboard and limited characters, but when you have a proper keyboard and unlimited space then why not extend your reader the courtesy of making your message a bit easier to read? Again, I'm not the only one irritated by this, and it's not personal either as a few others have come on here and had the mickey taken for it too. We're pretty fair like that... :lol:
As for the comments about my posting style, negativity and all the rest, well I'll be the first to admit to being pretty sarcastic at times and my sense of humour is definitely not to everyone's taste, but in general I try to do my bit to make this forum a better place. How successfully I manage that is not for me to judge. And nor do I worry about it unduly either.
If you decide not to come back because of that comment well that's up to you. If so then enjoy your car. If you change your mind then see you around.
Cheers for now :xwavey:
