good luck

good to see a lady getting her hands dirty. my missus does her own servicing, until she needs a bit of BFI to get the sump nut off that is.

i can do spark plugs and i managed a wheel bearing and oil change on the golf , tbh i couldnt look at taking the car to a garage for them to fuck it up or not do the work and charge me a fortune, plus lee is pretty good with fords anyway so when he loses his temper i normally have a go

lost the wheel nut for locking nuts though so cant get the wheel off to start prepping it for refurb, i cant whack hammers onto sockets too clever cos my bumps starting to get in the way LOL

theres still a few things i want to do but considering ive only had it a week ive bought new wheels and chrome bits and tidied it up a bit..... should be mint by next show season
