Car Repairs DIY

---

Owning an older car means that sooner or later it will break down.
A lot of repairs CAN be done by a DIY girl/guy with very few tools. Even if some repairs initially seems "Impossible", they can still often be performed rather easy as DIY.
You can save a lot by doing the job yourself, especially on time consuming tasks.

On this blog i have tried to write down some tasks where DIY can save you some money.
In an effort to make the information available to more DIY people, i changed the language to English,
which isn't my native language and therefore, i sincerely apologize for grammatical errors, spelling mistakes and incorrectly chosen words.
I hope other DIY-spirited persons, despite these errors and mistakes, can benefit from information on this blog.
