Nige - brake pads, oil change, strut braces5. Steve - compression test, headlights, hose kit (last two can save for another day if not enough time) Link to post Share on other sites
thegoth 5 Posted May 29, 2009 Report Share Posted May 29, 2009 (last two can save for another day if not enough time)many hands make light work. headlights is 5 mins tops. and even I can help with the hoses although I do hate those spring clips.think compression testting is ripe for a members guide as halfords are now selling testers for £18 or so.in fact the whole day should be written up as an indication of the dedication of premium members to each other Link to post Share on other sites
