Wow, how ungrateful. Eleckie is correct 99% of the time and gives advice at no charge to you or anyone else.

Quite. But to be fair, all Elekie had to do was insert the word 'usually' to cover himself against what may have been an unfamiliar device. He did sound rather certain :-)

I too would trust elekie's advice based on his 99% + track record.

There is always a possibility that some examples of a model deviated from standard, I had Peugeots with different brands of front brake calipers on left and right, not apparently unusual at the time.

They gave an answer that was absolutely certain - there was no caveat at all - and no one else replied. Normally I would be more cautious and check multiple sources first, but I didn't double-check in this case because the answer was unequivocal. Based on multiple other accounts that this person is usually correct, I'm guessing other people wouldn't double-check either, therefore.

Why should a person who is usually 99% right be defended for being 100% wrong in one situation with one person? Either you're right or you're wrong. A fake £20 note in a stack of 99 genuine notes is no less fake. I have no experience of Eleckie prior to my question so I don't see how that's relevant.
