Self Service

[ivoroper]

Hey guys

I am a relativley in experianced car owner and i have no experiance of any thing mechanical, so bearing this in mind i have decided to service my car myself, i have a few questions.

1 are the service kits available on ebay of any use?
2 what tools will i need, cos i would hate to get halfway through and find i haven't got what i need.
3 are there any tips or tricks you can suggest to make the job go more smoothly??

cheers in advance
