Car service

I have never recommended that people service their cars by just watching a youtube video. All I have ever said is that youtube videos make things much easier. The first time I did the cambelt on one of my curent cars I downloaded a manual and printed out the section. About 20 pages of text and drawings. By the second time SKF had produced a youtube video. It's so much easier to follow the video. The result is the same. If I change brake shoes I used to spend ages drawing a diagram of them before I changed them. Now I just take a photo on my phone. Plugging in a laptop is easier than adjusting the gap on contact-breaker points. People say that car servicing has got harder with modern technology but it's actually far easier.0

I love the way you can investigate companies these days. Got 3 five star reviews on Trustpilot on the day the company was incorporated on the 20th April with £10 capital. Uses his real name too. Hope it's not as bad as Servicing Stop.0

All that nonsense about using different browsers (or whatever it was) and posting at the same time....
Hope I can now look forward to you not following me around with your creepy stalking at 0230 in the morning....weirdo.
Funnily, i've been pondering a small Caddy sized van to facilitate a side project i'm going to work on. I havent seen much movement yet, but in theory markets like pickups and vans are likely to be hit by the upcoming downturn.Would be interesting to hear if anyone has direct experience?Why? So you can argue with them?1 -

Normally I travel extensively. It might be 0230 in the morning in the UK, but I am often posting at 1030am in Asia which is the same time as 0230 in UK.0 -

Weirdo....can't you find something better to do in Asia in the morning?
