I use a local place for most of my vehicle servicing, as I've
sort of retired the thought of paying a few thousand dollars
for a repair on things like electrics is something I can do
without. And I have an electronics background, and the
manuals from the internet, so ...

I would draw the line at the engine management system
as well as bow to an instrument fitter for other things that
also require experience over knowledge !

Cheers
