Another one here that used to repair my own cars many an hour spent changing brake pads/shoes doing bodywork repairs with the good old "doggie", am fortunate that my bil. Is a mechanic so any thing major I took to him, but I've done a fair bit on my cars, different nowadays though, as people have said you really need a code reader to interrogate the on board computer to make any sense of any warning lights that show up, also I think as you get older you get in a position where you can afford to pay someone else to repair/maintain your car and I certainly don't miss crawling about on the floor in the freezing cold..!!
Ooh , here's a thought, how about a motoring section on the forum?
I think we get programed as youngsters, my toys included Mechano Science and Electricity sets, Train sets, Scalextix. Lego. Not a Petrol head myself, but i think tinkering is just part of a mans make up.
PooH! Then why do you dodge about for as long as possible when us ladies need something mending then, Nommy?
Get out of that one if yer can!
