Servicing Trucks, Cars and Caravans: A Guide

Hello, my name is Giles. I grew up living about my grandpa's auto repair shop in Sydney, so I know a thing or two about servicing and repairing a wide range of different vehicles. We would get trucks coming in that had driven thousands of miles across the country, people in their caravans who wanted to make sure they were in good condition before a road trip, and car drivers who couldn't understand why their engine had stopped working. Although I didn't enter the auto trade myself, I still like to tinker with an engine or gearbox. I decided to start this blog to help others who are having problems with their vehicle.
