There was a time when I did all my own car repairs and servicing, sometimes with the help from friends and guidance from our good old Haynes manuals.
I haven't serviced my own car for the best part of 10yrs and have used local small garages.
However, since I've been contributing here, I've been encouraged and motivated by the infectious enthusiasm and I've got me spanners out of hibernation and have done a few jobs on my Zed and I've enjoyed doing it too.
I haven't needed to do anything major because happily, my car runs like a watch. I've fitted OEM roll bars, changed the front wish bones, drop links and anti roll bar bushes and fitted a replacement cat back exhaust system. I'm currently refurbishing some sports seats that I got from Steve @Low Rider and I have a few more little up dates in the pipeline for the future.
My Zed is due for an oil service now, and I've decided I'm going to do it myself before we embark on the Euro run in a months time.
How many of us do our own servicing?
