Service first timer
Hey all,
Just a wee note to say thanks to all for the guidance and advice. Having never services my own car before, it was daunting but I can honestly say after doing it just one time, its a big piece of cake. Makes me wonder why for all these years I have been paying someone else to do what took me less than half an hour to do which included sitting drinking a coffee while the oil dripped lol. Couple ramps made it much easier than jack and tripods, I cant honestly say how much easier it is than I expected it to be. So, in the one day, thanks for the forum, I was able to change the oil, oil filter, air filter with no spills, and also repair the washer for the headlights without removing the bumper, and replace the charger pipes with new silicon ones Ill tackle the fuel filter later when the weather picks up, and when the weather is real nice Ill replace the rear hubs. Excellent forum, and my car drives perfect now, well, but for the noisy hub that is. |

Its definitely a good feeling when you work on your own car. You know what oil you put in, you know what parts you used and so on. The biggest bonus is saving money!
