pouyade Posted January 7, 2008 Share Posted January 7, 2008 One day I am going to describe to you all the challenge/trauma/project that is, or by then has been, my attempt to re register my vehicle in France. Without boring you, I’ve started so I will finish. One way or the other. But, can’t help wishing I had never started! Any road, could the more fluent of you translate the following techie terms for me so that I can call France and have a discussion. You might imagine what that will be like ‘male mechanic (French) receiving suggestions from female (English) as to how to right a problem which has been baffling him’!The terms are:Oxygen sensorsEngine manifoldExhaust manifold Many thanks in advancePouyade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
