Hi all. My name is Dean. I'm 38 but rapidly approaching 39 I live in essex and own two vectra's. A 07 plate silver estate which is quite modded with 265k on the clock and an ultra blue hatch back which I have owned from new since 2005 also being modified

I found this forum through searching google for 'creaking noise' when the car had a problem and I've been here ever since. I have been an ARO for the East Region for a number of years before being promoted to Admin a few months ago.

Cars and the forum are my main pastimes but I do enjoy varied tastes in music whilst on the move.

I am currently employed as a 'Service Engineer' for CCTV and Access control and the problem solving side of my job and bleed through into what I do on cars. I like to fault find and retrofit all types of car systems. A strange/weird problem which no-one else can solve is the type of job I feel happiest in dealing with.

Anyways that's enough about me, I hope you enjoy your stay on our forum
