It's fun to hear from new posters. A few suggestions:
[ol][*]Browse the various forums for the information you are seeking. Chances are somebody has had the problem before.[*]If you are asking for help, try to be as specific as you can. "Help! My car is making a funny noise! What could it be?" would be a bit vague.[*]Come back to the forum to see if there has been a response. It may take a few days but there might be someone familiar with your problem.[*]Let us know how you have progressed in fixing the problem. We're all learning here, and if what you have tried did or did not fix the problem, let us know.[*]Read your post through before posting it up. Does it make sense, and will it make sense to a stranger reading it for the first time?[*]Try to use good spelling and punctuation to make your request clearer.[*]Have fun.[/ol]
