Keeping the car on the road is—or can be—a depressingly expensive business, mainly because of the high cost of garage repairs. Low-Cost Car Repairs solves this problem to a very large extent because, for the first time ever, here is a completely practical guide to repairing cars at the lowest possible price, without sacrificing quality.

Kver, the keynote of the book is 'practicttL The author describes only those jobs^dthin the capabilities of the average maiKwith limited workshop equipment (usuj^lly a basic tool-kit and a power-drill) and no previous experience. Where a job cells for special tools or special skills, the author says so and advises the reader to ^ to a garage.
The range covered is extensive. It starts with cars as old ^ the old side-valve Ford Eights and gees on to the latest vehicles with disc \brakes and sealed cooling systems and,Un the process, uncovers some intriming background details of design faults where, it seems, the car manufacture! has gone out of his way to send the mechanic mad!
Through the whole book there is 'a smell of oil' that shows me author practises what he preaches. Vissza
