Well I'm sorry but your criticism can't be taken seriously unless you justify it. It really doesn't make any sense anyway because I positively embrace "alternative practices and other engineered solutions"! What you don't like is that I don't always follow the frequently publicised methods of a few forum members. That's a different thing altogether and it's everyone's right to act as they see fit.

The ARB saddle clamp set screws aren't actually in the subframe, they're in a bracket above it with the thread exposed. They won't "snap" if removed using the proper technique. But if you fear this, then do you fear the same may happen with the lower arm rear bush housing bolts too?
I have just removed and replaced these items on both sides of the car. Nothing snapped and no damage was done to the subframe. Good luck Alan, when the time comes.

You are incorrect in your assumptions. Previous concerns of mine have been related to your advice and guidance as fact based upon your 'evidence' regarding some other areas of these cars (in particular but not limited to the timing belt).

As I stated, you claimed to have the time, and your dismissal of these common and accepted practices is in this thread (and your reasoning, you do not need to repeat)

I am unsubscribing from this thread due to the amount of alert pings i am getting on my phone, as i already have my way of fitting drop links, and will be sticking to it as it works for me, if someone else started a new thread with an 100% way of doing it easy then i would be interested, so will say good bye for now on this thread cheers Arctic.

Your way of fitting drop links and your easy to follow pictorial guide is excellent and perfect for any inexperienced member to follow

(PING) Sorry Steve. i for one understand wear you are coming from. Here is something i found on interscreen.


Manager / Mentor

Manenger.

The focus is generally on achieving organizational and departmental goals. A manager must ensure that their advice and decisions are always aligned with the organizational vision. With a mentor the focus shifts to personal growth.

Mentor.

The agenda of a mentor-mentee relationship is inclined towards sharing knowledge and experience.
The manager might delay or restrict a learning opportunity for an employee if it conflicts with the organization’s expectations of the employee. A mentor never restricts exploring new avenues for their mentees as long as it helps with their career growth and aspirations. Or in genral just likes to help.

Just a thought..
