Me nt very good at DIY in re-fuelling coz the pump attendant is always there hence bo chance to do it often.

 

But I got self tune my dad's old EE90 ( Corolla XL) 's rpm. ie increase the rpm when air con is on. That time the car is on carb and a mechanic taught me how to do it. LOL

That day hor, I was walking my dog, then I heard funny noise as a van slowing down to a stop at the road side facing a MSCP. I was still far away. The poor old uncle driver came out to discover the front left tire flat and scratching his head. I thought of going to help. But then there's a guy washing his car at the washing bay, saw it and went over, so I just leave him to do it and continue to walk my dog. When I was making my way home, that poor guy still trying hard to unlock the nuts.... guess what? He jacked up the car to untightened the nuts...but the wheel keep turning so he failed to untightened it.

 

So I walked over, offered my help. Asked that guy to lower down the van, and with a leg kick, I untightened the nuts one by one....jacked up the van, and changed the tire.....
