Auto Maintenance 101 covers easy-to-follow basics and tips on what makes a vehicle tick, and the how-tos of simple, hands-on preventative maintenance. For jobs such replacing a water pump, head gasket, radiator, fuel injectors, brakes, troubleshooting the electrics (or in earlier cars - ignition systems points, rotor and condenser), technical manuals are readily available. What you will find in this work are simplified, (need-to-know) working descriptions of vital systems common to most vehicles, those most often requiring attention and which anyone could deal with.
