It was a pain in the arse when my car failed its WOF (MOT) earlier this month, but it turned out a lot of it I could do myself. So I have. With the help of my advisory team – the friendly chaps at Repco and my ever-patient and supportive mechanic friend – along with my Subaru handbook, common sense and a fair whack of trial and error, I’ve successfully completed a series of fiddly repairs and today she passed her WOF. The best thing of all is that I took so much more pleasure in working on my car than I ever expected.
Never mind that I stabbed myself several times with the electric probe, flattened the car battery, broke and mended parts unrelated to the original problem, and almost burned my flat down.
