Tricky Dicky explained on 10/03/2021 :
Whereas a Haynes manual might recommend using a Castrol grease tin to
drift in a bearing, no such chance with the official manual.


Cars have become very much more complex,


But require much less routine maintenance and
usually tell you with an error code what the car
has decided has failed sensor wise etc.



mine just indicated it was a choice of sensors

the garage said, we can guess and if we guess right first time it will cost
you 80 quid

if we guess right last time, it will be 5-600

for a car that was only worth 1000, I was forced to scrap it (150 scrap
value, drove it until the next MOT/Service required so that would have been
another 200 cost)
