    what about this one , Winner of the Best General Trade Book at the 2004 Book Design and Production Awards.

    or I'm sure haynes manuals do a diy one.

    The Collins diy manual is excellent. Another one I highly recommend is the good old Readers Digest Complete DIY Manual. I have both of these on my bookshelves & both are very easy for even a dumbo like me to follow. :rudolf:
    The bigger the bargain, the better I feel.

    I should mention that there's only one of me, don't confuse me with others of the same name.
