Using the search facilities on the V8 Website
Powerful search facilties on the V8 Website
When you have a query on a technical matter or are about to post a message on the V8 Bulletin Board seeking members' views, it is worth using the search facilities to check out what information is already available in the workshop notes series, articles, news items and earlier postings on the V8BB.


What are the search options?
Let's take an example - front brake squeal with the MGBGTV8. It is a difficulty members have had before with the MGBGTV8 model and there are a number of V8 Workshop Notes and other articles on how it can be cured plus 28 postings from members on the V8BB. You can trace that information - and indeed information on other queries you or other members have on similar topics - by using the search options set out alongside.
