Difficulty using a posted link

When I click on a link quoted in a post, (e.g. in post #1237445 http://www.vwgolfmk1.org.uk/modules.php?name=Forums&file=viewtopic&t=80653&highlight=compensator+valve ), I find this takes me to the site's Home front page and not the subject I'm looking for. Apologies if I'm missing something obvious, but I have found this happening frequently when I am doing a search.  Is the reason something to do with the post having been deleted or similar?  Your advice will be much appreciated, as I'm not expert enough at solving these kind of navigation problems.

It happens to me as well so nothing wrong in what your doing!

I think your find that the post has been deleted or archived for one reason or another.

But our Web Team will see this and be able to confirm!

In 2012 we changed the software the site runs on - that is an old style link that unfortunately will not work.

However you can use the search to find the post again.

To find Compensator valve use "Compensator Valve", quotes are important.

If you want to find compensator and valve in the same post search for
+compensator +valve
