Fixing the car

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Henry Getley has, for people of a certain age, an entertaining TCW piece on car maintenance as it was once upon a time.

Car fixing: Those were the DIYs

DURING a clearout of my garage the other day, I pulled from the back of a drawer a book stained with my blood, sweat and tears – not to mention a lot of oil. Seeing the light of day for the first time in half a century, it was a flimsy paperback called Car Repairs Properly Explained…

I had bought the 50p book in 1973 when, unable to pay ruinous garage bills, I was trying desperately to keep my temperamental 1966 Austin 1100 on the road. It had been a good and faithful servant, but it was feeling its age and things were starting to go wrong. A few weeks earlier, the fuel pump had conked out and I’d cobbled together a temporary petrol feed to the carburettor using the washer bottle – not the ideal fix.

Yes, I remember those days, working on our Ford Escort for years before we eventually bought a Datsun Sunny. I remember how amazed I was that it just started reliably every morning however cold and damp it was out there on the drive.

I’m sure there are many talented amateurs out there who can still carry out such tasks – saving themselves a fortune. (My local garage now charges around £120 just for an oil and filter change). But I suspect that if I tried to get to grips with anything ambitious on a modern car, it’d probably lock itself up and set an alarm blaring, or send a satellite signal to the manufacturer, who’d have me arrested for breaching health and safety.
