Self preservation

Ian | April 4, 2008

From the moment I chose to drive an older vehicle, I chose to accept that there may be a degree of maintenance required beyond that of checking air, water and oil between services.

Mini

Last week the inevitable hit and hit in triplicate.

  1. Clock started running backwards
  2. Driver side window stopped winding
  3. A minor rattle is now a missing disc break cover

Also, though not really a problem with the car per se, I can’t get the bloody wheels off!

It has been a long time since I had to really maintain a car and I have realised that the tools I have collected over a number of years of home improvement are really not suitable.
