Hi,

In the short time I've had my sprinter I managed to go through every post in the T1N section and what I have done is to creat a Word document that has hyperlinks to all of the various threads that I have found useful. It includes the standard maintainence threads as well as a bunch of other useful threads. I find it very useful and fast for looking things up.

So, here it is -
