Pretty proud of myself, never did this before.

    Nice work. My experience is it’s a crapshoot because cars aren’t designed to be worked on these days but instead to be build quickly by machines. I’ve spent stupid amounts of time accessing water pumps. Anyway, glad the battery project turned out great.

      you know what, whenever I buy a car I do research how easy it is to repair first, and it’s probably one of the largest considerations before I make a purchase, so I guess I’m angling the odds in my favor.

        Important questions like:

        • How many and what kind of computers are needed to fix the car computers/program in new parts?
        • At what unholy degree do my hand and wrist need to bend in order to change a bulb?
        • Hell, does it even have bulbs or is it one of those horrific LED modules that cost limbs/children?
        • Buttons and dials, or stupid screens?

        Gotta buy old or very poor specced new to get repairability features it seems.
