Creaking front suspension

[alan09]

Pffft, I know bugger all about engines, and I have massive hands that are shit at getting into tight spaces. I'd rather leave that up to someone who has the space, time and knowledge

and your £250...if all they do is oil & filter change, check & or replace brake pads + new plugs, i'm really neanderthal  when it comes to mechanics but all of these jobs are/seem quite straight forward.
