Basic Maintenance

  
For some, the wallet-pain of servicing bills is nothing compared to the hassle of levering out brake pads and hammering stuck oil filters free on a wintery weekend.

But you don't need to rely on the hands of a skilled mechanic for everything. Spend a few minutes on your car with some basic tools and you could save yourself some cash - and you won't even get that dirty.
To prove this, we enlisted the help of Changing Room's Handy Andy. He's here to give you the necessary know-how to sort out your motor and, no, there's not a single sheet of MDF in sight.

Use the drop-down menus below to sift through some top DIY tips on how to sort out basic car maintenance from His Handiness himself, and the essential items you need to get the job done.
