when a mechanical numpty like me gets the tools out and managed to change the starter motor rather than get a garage to do it lol
For those of you who know me they will understand the magnitude of this  ;D

All the best

I agree, Haynes Manuals are worth their weight in gold   :)
The only difference between men and boys, is of course the price of their toys !

and so do I but I never managed to track one down! Haynes uk stops at the previous model but I think there may be an american equivilant.

Well done Ross, good for you getting the hands dirty. :) :)

All we need to do now is set up a class for all the other budding mechanics,(enter the usual suspects here) could get it going as an evening class over the camping weekends. Not too sure how much knowledge would be absorbed, usually other stuff being absorbed :D :D :D
