How to do things on your driveway
As a family we have always had an interest in doing things ourselves.
We have set a channel on youtube called driveway dudes with the intention of demonstrating things that can be done by the average person with a few basic tools.
At the moment we have several how to's -
Opening the bonnet / hood on a Citroen C5,
Replacing a light bulb on a Citroen C5,
Adjusting the ride height on a Citroen C5,
Removing and replacing a car battery on a Citroen C5 and Alfa Romeo 146,
How smooth a bmw six cylinder is with the glass of water test,
Resetting the trip service indicator on a Citroen C4.
Listening to an Alfa Romeo 146 starting up for the first time in nearly a year.
How to remove the bolt from a CZ 452 rifle. General descriptions.
Replacing a wiper blade on a Citroen C4
Our latest is a maintenance check for the Citroen C4 prior to it going for it's mandatory National Car Test (Ireland) We check the wheel bearing, Brake disc and brake pads.
The cars that we are able to carry out work on are as follows:

Motorcycles include: Kawasaki ZXR750H1, Yamaha RD80MX, Piaggio Vespa PX125E.
