Regarding this question today asking for "car repair" newsgroups on: o <http://tinyurl.com/windowsxp-general> o <http://microsoft.public.windowsxp.general.narkive.com> Titled: o Car repair newsgroup <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/microsoft.public.windowsxp.general/n8SsuPlri2o> "I did a google search, but did not find a car repair newsgroup. Surely, there is one? I know newsgroups are added all the time, but a listing of all groups would be nice too. thanks, Andy" The alt.home.repair ng also covers DIY auto repairs; but the trolls took over. o <http://tinyurl.com/alt-home-repair> o <http://alt.home.repair.narkive.com> Here's a recent thread, by way of example, on a.h.r for auto DIY questions: o Inspection and oil change <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.home.repair/sChKzO3h5rg> And another recent automotive (and home engine) related question: o Pure gas vs E85 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/alt.home.repair/lEAIPQT6pXs> But bear in mind, a.h.r. is almost unreadable due to the massive trolling. o Far better, IMHO, is a.h.r, where the trolls haven't infested it yet. The best, IMHO, is: o <http://tinyurl.com/rec-autos-tech> o <http://rec.autos.tech.narkive.com> For example... o Questions about mounting & balancing new LT tires on new steel rims at home (match mounting marks, red dots, yellow dots, & spacers) <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/J5-7TxdDpBw> o Ideas for a home alignment caster/camber wheel jig to lock to 14inch to 20 inch wheel rims <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/FemVU8OSrFw> o Do you know of any good iOS or Android freeware apps that perform home alignment measurements & conversions? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/yjR2ClAaarw> o What 3D CAD freeware might work well for this simple DXF style drawing? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/afboX5_96bQ> o Clare, Xeno.... did you ever have a batch of tires that just wouldn't seal after the final bead? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/n4bqsqo6ObY> o How would you run a lateral acceleration test in a vehicle on twisty roads at no more than 40mph? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/x7pwhNCqlCo> o Does the macadem road surface have a great effect on tire wear? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/SPr6zNEDYDs> o Clare - are smaller car tires easier to balance than SUV tires? <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/HyTVDmT1pfs> o Just mounted & static balanced my 30th tire in about five years - saving over $400 <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/ameCXs0Smdw> o Two simple questions that came up when mounting tires at home <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/kuQg2H5jbs8> o What tools do I need? (P0420 Bank 1 catalytic inefficiency on a 15 year old dual-cat vehicle) <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/KfwOR5pb3t4> o Why can't people figure out warp versus runout versus disc thickness variation <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/rec.autos.tech/F-ptM5J_huQ> -- Every post to the Usenet public archives should help people find stuff. |

Correction: It's alt.home.repair that is utterly unreadable due to massive trolling. o <http://tinyurl.com/alt-home-repair> The rec.autos.tech is still reasonably free of the troll infestation. o <http://tinyurl.com/rec.autos.tech> -- Every thread to Usenet should help others, now, and in the future. |
