But if you give them a beer, it keep their hands busy
Otherwise they end up doing all the work for you and you learn fuck all.

My hubby was a mech and i just stayed out of his way when he was working. I loathe mechanical stuff. Was forced into it just before he died as he was too ill to do much and we had the business to keep going for as long as possible. I did the work and he supervised. All it did was confirm I loathe mechanical stuff!

Now that Im flying solo, I am relying on mechanics. I have this theory that if a man can do it then so can I...with the exception of peeing standing up without it running down my leg. Have yet to put this to the test with the Z, but I do intend to. Starting with the rat nest wiring...

Handy hint if you hate greasy hands, buy some disposable vinyl gloves from the supermarket to wear while you are doing oil changes and chain lubes. Easy to clean you hands, just peel them off and chuck 'em in the bin.

Question..what to do with yukky oil from oil change? we used to send 2x 200 L drums to recyclers every few weeks.NOW what am I going to do with the wretched, vile smelling stuff?

Sorry to hear about your loss. Yes the disposeable gloves work a treat. Try HazMobile for getting rid of your old oil.
