Thanks for that. I will take a look.

If your still looking to get a few bits together, Halfrauds are doing a deal on a 150 piece Tool Set and a six draw tool chest, £200, basically buy the tool set and get the six draw tool centre free.

I would recommend the 150 piece Hanford pro set which has a lifetime warranty. Plenty of decent torque wrenches on eBay. The set will allow you to the majority of basic maintenance tasks I'm sure.
Apart from the forum look a u tube it's a great source of info and has many FL2 'how to' videos
Most basic tasks such as discs, pads, power steering fluid changes etc are very similar to other vehicles so also a good reference point

My ten pence worth of advice, being a self taught, father mechanic shown amateur for 30 years is
Safety first, research, preparation, have time to complete the job, right tools for the job, and buy the best quality parts and tools you can afford

Thanks, I should really check out YouTube for vids as I was surprised at the lack of maintenance videos on this forum.

Get a "clickable" torque wrench. Much easier to use than the "bendy with pointer" type. Ex AA Series III LWB Safari - Gone
