A good search will bring up 100s of 2.7/2.8 threads.

Alot of new members OP included probably don't know its there and its not the easiet thing in the world to use, especially if you've not been around and don't know what terms you are looking for.

For example if you search for 2.7 as you suggested it throws up No topics or posts met your search criteria, probably because the search term isn't a string.

Now Daz has told him what parts are needed at least OP has more terms to use in the search function and help narrow his list of results.
