Mikael,
I too appreciate the write-up. However, you make the comment "where we as a group think that we’re cleverer than the factory engineers." The factory engineers are far from infallible (see the numerous TSBs issued). So, yes, in some cases we are more clever than the factory engineers. Actually its not being more clever, its we, as a group, have far, far more time dealing with the foibles of these cars.
