This is a bit odd, but here goes: I have some simple jobs that need doing.
I've had an attempt at all of these, but failed because of lack of experience and nervousness about messing up my daily drive.
I'm not ready to give in and go to my mechanic, so I want some help from a grown-up.
I'm in Blackpool all this week (traveling up via Birmingham on Monday, but busy Tuesday and Thursday) then back to Berks/Hants the week after.
So offers please! We'll need to agree hourly rate and estimate time.
The jobs are, in order of importance:
(1) Investigate brake pedal slow to release. (Probably pads not moving freely.)
(2) Fit replacement radiator fan.
(3) Fit replacement passenger side fog light.
Wanted: help!
