Default Where to post an item covering many various marques

I have some information re preventative maintenace that may be of interest to any owner of an automatic Jaguar irrespective of model.

I can obviously put it in the section for the model I am most interested in but is there a better place.

I have used the search feature across the whole site and only found one meaniful item on the topic. Since then I have searched Google and Youtube for additional information.
There is surprisingly not very much information but what I have found I would like to alert forum members to what is available.

The General Tech Help section is the place to post technical information that is not model specific.

Henry I would post it to the "General Tech" help subforum. If one of us mods feels that it would be more appropriate in a different section we could always move it.

I am very curious as to what you have found.

I am very curious as to what you have found.

Should we add a Poll to this thread?

New discovery;
  1. Cars last longer when not preserved in Rock Salt
  2. A constant oil leak and constant topping up means that you will never need to change your oil.
  3. Having tow bars front and rear can really help prevent dings when nudge parking.
  4. Greasing brake disks to prevent rust is not perhaps the best solution.
Catering, well I am expecting a whole tribe for diner tonight, got 6kg of mussels to serve up.

Well I will tell you what my item is about - changing the tranny fluid with a machine.

The slight differences in language either side of the pond, even after many years, still throws up some odities.

On this site, I found just one reference to dialysis which in my view describes the process quite closely in terms that form a simple image.

From further searches, I have just found that in the USA a "flusher" is the description used.

A Flusher in the UK is politely described as" A workman employed in cleaning sewers by flushing them with water"

A further search using "flusher" found just five new interesting references.

So the subject has been aired before but not very often.
I have found at least one Youtube item that I think is rather good at showing and explaining the kit by a regular guy in a small tranny servicing company.
Other Youtube clips I describe as "salesman sites".
I have found a few makers of flushers that may be of interest.

To save folks doing all the searching I have done I was planning to list all the existing forum items I have found and add in my comments and the links/items above.

Can I assume it is Ok to go ahead ?
