I borrowed the word Tech Talk from the VACC and used that term for a newspaper column that I initiated with the local newspaper in Gladstone back in 1986. The concept was that motorists would write in and ask for help with any problems they had with their car. The question would be passed onto the qualified mechanic who had the expertise on the subject in relation to the question. The question would be answered and the newspaper would print the reply in the next edition of the motoring section. In this forum I once again will use the term Tech Talk as an instructional page. The tide is turning now towards more video content. I hope I have done a good enough job on them for you. My older videos are in SD 4:3 but my later  videos are in  HD 16:9. When you now click a video link anywhere within my website it will take you to my U-Tube channel to view them.

I have dug out from the archives a stack of VACC and Auto-Tech technical journals that covered many topics. I intend on reproducing them in summary with information that I think may be helpful to you.
