Who does their own vehicular servicing?
(Preview)
I note that Colsa does his own servicing as do I. I am mechanically minded and have done all my own servicing on both Van and Tug since I started driving and I wonder how many others do the same!. EG. Service Nissan Patrol, Ford Festiva and Regal Caravan.
