Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I was suffering from a notchy gearbox in 996 mx for a few years. My mate stipped the box down (he is a fully qualified engineer-works for TVR) and said it was in good nick. So I have been trying to find an oil that will at least help a bit. Having tried red line, motul, castrol, mobil 1 and 76 I believe I may have cracked it. A while back a mate put me onto Royal Purple. It needs a longer term test, to check for its overall wear protection etc (which I have been assured by Royal Purple UK is very good), but it has DEFINATLEY made a reasonable improvment to my gearchanges. I will keep you posted.

POST 2Original post

Fogive me if I' m wrong, but every post you have made has been promoting this brand of oil, and each time the thread has been started by you. This looks like a commercial posting to me. I know you have claimed not to be anything other than a satisfied customer of this companies products - but this does look a bit suspicious when you have not even posted in threads about any other topic! As I say, forgive me if I' m wrong, but it does look suspicious...

POST 3 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

The main reason I only talk about oil is because its what I know. I used to work in the oil industry. I feel it is an important and under exposed source of alot of problems. Like I have said before in here, if any of you guys want to give me any product recomendations that you have been happy with I would be happy to check them out. Im retired now anyway.

POST 4Original post

Yes Mark, I must admit, as I sat at my Dell laptop, drinking a nice cup of PG Tips tea, munching a satisfying McVities plain choc digestive that it was a little suspicious..... Still, on a site like this we must be charitable, stay friends provident and give him the benefit of the Daz.

POST 5 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

some people are so negative......mind you, I can see why it looked suspicous
