No, we are just pulling your leg. I'm surprised it hasn't gone already, snaffled up by someone from here. In our case we had a new Czech 50amp (?) alternator put onto our refurbished engine 3.5 years ago, so I have no idea what we'd do with another, except as a mantlepiece ornament. I already have our old piston and two valves as ornaments on my bookshelf here at home. Of course you were right to have a go here - nothing ventured, nothing gained - but if there have been no offers from TB members, then it seems that eBay is the way to go nowadays. Fuss and angst we eat for breakfast, it's the evening meal you need beware of Ha, the archetypal boater, piston broke. Not broken at all - but was letting oil through - which, after 29 years of service is to be expected. I was hoping it would make a good conversation piece but we rarely have visitors. It's probably the doberman sign we have at the entrance to our yard.

Sorry I didn't realise I had to give you my life story before I could post something boat related for sale on a boat related forum. My mistake. No that's not quite right is it, your slagging off the who.e forum because of a few posts by one individual. Which if you had been a memeber before you had joined to sell your old alternator you would have known to ignore. Sorry you didn't sell your alternator on here, eBay is probably your best bet.

It didn't whoosh by, I shot it down with my Purdey and stamped on it and threw it on the bonfire. Where are you getting your jokes from, Jim?

It was not an asteroid that was the cause of the dinosaurs' extinction, Jim got there before it. "I'm Jim and I'm here to tell you a joke." Dinosaur: "Aaaaaahhhhhhhh!"

I used to be on an similar forum but left because of all the bitchy/sarkie/know it all but no help comments (usually from people with the longest memberships) This is my first post and guess what?? same old same old. If you are not interested why waste your time and effort posting irrelevant comments? so in the context of your last post, what does same old same old mean then? It's a disscussion forum, so you can post what you like, but anybody else can post what they think. As I've said if you where a member here before posting your advert then you would have known to ignore foxys posts. I must say my opinion is that posting an advert as your first post is suspect. It's just my opinion, but I'm entitled to express it. Just put your alternator on ebay. Ps you might have got a response if you had put a price on it.

Sorry to be pedantic but that comment is neither true nor fair. I have not 'slagged' anyone off let alone the whole forum, I merely replied to someone who implied that I only joined the forum to sell an item. I suggest that, unless anyone is specifically interested in said item, that all other comments/ opinions are superfluous. If I knew how to remove the damn post I would!!! I hate to do this - normally itβs reserved for dogless because he is a Frozen superfan. but.....

You're right I suppose jubjub.
But we did start a seperate thread to welcome you here (if you care to look) and which you've so far totally ignored.
One of the things I hate now about the other place is demonstrated by a recent thread where Pearley asked if anyone knew the contact details for Thetford.
A simple question that you answer if you can, or pass by if you can't.
Instead there was advice to contact different chandlers, ebay, caravan suppliers etc. etc.
But kris is also right, we are just a form of entertainment for each other.
Sorry we seem to have got off on the wrong foot with you.

I don't think there is no.
