mmm.. about those unnecessary trips to the garage to check the tyre pressure.... not sure buying a pressure guage is really cost effective for my twice yearly visit
did you manage to cheak your oil and water today

so transformation into fully fledged handy- landy self sufficient owner has begun(ish).....
have bought small watering can for mixing water and anti freeze - I know not strictly directly mechanical orientated but its to do with car maintenance........
next I checked the oil- it's still at the max level- thats good isnt it as it was last looked at on the service in July last year.
Water levels in the expansion tank- good- so no need for my watering can- again not bad I think- checked inNovember and it needed gallons.
Didnt do tyres- it was raining and not kneeling in the wet and hadnt read thread about presure at that point - they dont look low so will do that job when its a nicer day.
No furry bits around any of the hoses- like the pics earlier on so thats good again i think.
Dont know what this is coz havent bought the manual yet- but the white plastic tupperaware box like thing attatched to the big metal round wheel like thing next to the expansion tank is also filled to the right level- so all good again.
so all in all ,a very productive day ,by my standards i think

Once I get some tools from Halfords and my manual from e-bay-Need some suggestions for a list of mega simple things to do on car ( after the tyres that is )...
Need them to be really really easy, really really getatable- ideally at the top of the car so i dont have to go under it just yet , clean if possible and definately be in a category that if I cock it up it won't be..
1) fatal for me and the kids
2) lethal for the beast
3) expensive to put right
All suggestions welcome

wipers not a bad thought- think even I could manage those ( maybe..... havent actually looked at them to see if it looks complicated just sounds easy
)on a scale of one to 10- one being like checking the oil and water - 10 being - dont even think about it woman...........

can you not just tie one of the kids to the back door and hand them a scraper , be a lot cheaper
