Speaking as an occasional poster. I appreciate all the advice I get.
As soon as I buy a car, I join the appropriate forum.
My mechanic does most of my work, but he is old school, so I often go in to collect the car, and he will tell me what he has done, and what he didn't have time for. Basically, if it is fitted with a nut and bolt, he is THE MAN, other than that, it depends.
But, yes, please don't stop posting you petrol/diesel heads are great. THANKS 🙂
