As a newbie and after nearly being scared off by you lot with all the tales of broken cars... I have taken the decision (yet to find out if it is a good one ) to acquire a Haynes D3 manual to learn how to do some of the work myself. Now I suppose Ill need some tools before I can call myself a man and learn about servicing my own D3. Any suggestions from the group where to start my collection and any recommendations /must have’s are welcomeMissplaced African
Only downside is the ratchet spanners aren't their flexi-head ones (waiting on them going on discount).
Get the 8 piece Advanced Pro screwdriver set for an extra £8.99 in their bundle offer - again lifetime guarantee.
*Should a Halfords Advanced Professional Hand Tool fail whilst being used for the purpose and in the manner for which it was designed, it will be inspected and replaced. Simply return the product to your nearest Halfords store with proof of purchase and we will arrange a replacement for you.
