    Any decent mechanic could. Nothing overly complicated about it.

    That was a genuine answer. Seriously it was just another option for him. I've learned alot from the one I have and tackeled jobs I never taught were possible. This is the DIY forum, so be prepared to get your hands dirty on entry :P.

    ;) All joking aside, I would highly recommend the haynes manual, it's a great sense of accomplishment getting one over on main dealers by doing your own work

    Well, about 15-20% of threads in here are people looking to do stuff themselves. The other 80-85% are people looking for other people to do the work, or asking questions about which Mechanic they should go to. This forum's in trouble IMHO.

    Doesn't mean that it has to be full of t055ers.

    Nothing worse than inoncently looking for an answer and facing a shower of abuse. No need. We all learn somewhere.
