Trust me Charlie, we all wish we could, sadly I go on the side of caution and pay someone rather than bugger my beloved.

I probably could do the jobs myself as im not comletely dense, but when my mate is a BMW mechanic at my local dealership, its daft not to get him to do it fpr a little beer money.

Well done on getting your mitts dirty fella.

I would go on the side of caution and do it my self! don't trust most monkey's in garages, always can pic faults in work they have done.

Well done for doing it yourself. Next time it will take your half the time!
