Before you start

Four things that decide whether a job goes well or ends at the hospital. They cost nothing to read.

A jack lifts. It does not hold.

A trolley jack is a lifting tool, not a support: its seal can give way while you are underneath. Always put axle stands under the manufacturer’s lifting points and lower the car onto them before anything else goes under the car.

Rule of thumb: the stands carry the weight, the jack only carries your confidence.

Torque is a number, not an arm

Wheel bolts have a figure written by the manufacturer, usually between 90 and 140 Nm. Under it the wheel works loose; over it you stretch the stud and it snaps on the motorway.

A click wrench is set, used until it clicks once, then wound back to zero before it goes in the drawer: left under load, the spring loses its calibration in a few months.

The charger is not a jump pack

A smart charger gives back a flat battery in hours and keeps it healthy. A jump pack gets you home. They are two different tools and swapping them ruins one of the two.

On a car with a start-stop system the battery is AGM or EFB: a charger without that setting overcharges it, and the battery lasts one winter instead of five.

A fault code is a symptom, not a diagnosis

P0420 does not mean «change the catalytic converter»: it means the second oxygen sensor is reading what the first one reads. Nine times out of ten the fault is the sensor, a leak in the exhaust, or a misfire upstream.

A reader that shows live data is worth three times one that only prints the code.
