Do I start to do my own servicing

[Routy56]

Oil and filters done today and new wipers on the van. Can't believe how easy the wipers were, then found a puncture in tyre from our industrial estate again

Yep you know where you are with doing yer own stuff
Always carry one of those sticky string repair kits in the truck to get me out of trouble. Then a proper mushroom repair if it's possible the next day or so
On Sharon's car last year the main stealer found a nail in the tyre and wanted me to authorise a replacement Nexus crappy tyre, when they deemed it to be in the unrepairable zone
WTF on a 1 year old Toyota - no thanks, I'll get an original spec tyre from my friend's tyre place. He even repaired the 1 year old tyre for me

I have a cheapy set in the truck. Only 10 quid off Amazon.
Better quality strings are available but considerably more expensive and only available in big packs with a use by date.

On larger holes more than one string may be needed to get you home, I found been told

I think all the 3.2s are chain.

That's what I thought but there are 3.2 wet belt kits online. Could be for a newer engine i guess

The new 3l v6 is a belt, but a normal dry belt x2 one for the cams and one for the fuel

Rover V8 the same ... NEVER drop the sump and filter together .. drop sump and refill PDQ, then filter off and fill filter before screwing back on ... pump will not self prime
