    And as its owned by KBR then they doont want you doing too much maintenance yourself so the ISPL shows:
    Item 1. Engine
    Item 2. Battery
    Item 3. Fuel Tank

    and thats it. So i have taken pics, filled in 3 EFR's and sent them this morning back to UK. The hoops just to do this with bloody restricted laptops etc, i wonder if its worth it!!

    There may be a trend with the failure, which will only be identified if EFR's are reported. You all know kit that ain't lasting as it should, but how many can be arrsed to report it, so it then can be looked at.

    As for EFR's being a pain todo on line, why not go back to the MK1 version, pen paper job done.

    I was generally too busy shouting at RLC punters to fill in EFR's. Anyway it used to take 2 secs on FEMIS to knock up an EFR, I couldn't trust a Tiffs attention span to last that long. My last Fitter Section Tiff was 'Weapons' so that explains a lot about the Kettle

    My last AQ was a top brew bitch.
    I was quite happy to fill in EFR's as long as he made the brews & bought the biccies.

    I just hope your new one has brew making skills! Do you still have the Janet & John make tea book that you lent me so I could learn?
