I want to see all the new tools get a good work out this year Deyon!
Self service the Ranger and install the new headlights, Believe in yourself! Remove the bumper have some OEM clips spare take the plunge you can do it.

Well hello there Mr. Tasmania! Havant seen you around here in a while, welcome back! Hope all is well.

I tell you what, changing my own oil would solve a lot of the anxiety I get from taking my cars to the dealer and relinquishing control. In fact, the Ranger would be the perfect candidate to learn on as its doesn't ride as low to the ground like the other cars. I was actually thinking about this topic the other day, as in finally giving it a go.

I can’t tell you how much anxiety over the years I avoided by doing my own oil changes. I do all three cars but I fear I won’t be able to do a modern car I may own and then I’ll experience anxiety again.

Why Bill?

[Bill D]

From videos I’ve seen, the location and what it involves is a little more than I’m comfortable with on my own

[Setec Astronomy]

I guess it depends on the car, plus you have plenty of time to study it up there on the lift before you try it. If all else fails, give me a call and I'll come down and help you.

[Bill D]

Thanks for the offer, Setec!

If you're ever in need of any kind of service info (process/torque specs/etc), just ping me and let me know - if it's got an equivalent stateside I can pull it up at work and send you whatever info I can find. Unfortunately Aussie specific stuff isn't listed in our accessible list of manufacturers.

Can you help Bill so I don't have to go down to Florida? Not that I'll get another chance to work in a garage as nice as his, plus maybe he'll put me up and feed me Floridese food.

[Bill D]

Heh heh. I still eat Jersey cuisine: a lot of Italian food

I've been here, every now and again just checking up YES the Ranger would be great to pop your cherry on you have the gear and it's only oil oli filter air filter.

If it comes to anything pass that point go to your local mechanic of course but i understand totally what you mean about passing the car onto another 3rd party
for the work to be done.

If you can fix mowers and chainsaws etc, You've got this covered.
