Well as part of my money saving period I decided that any simple work that could be done on the car I would do myself.

This would range from simple work in the engine bay to wishbone changes.

I would even source the parts myself. All in all it could save hundreds of pounds in the long run.

I have started doing some work on the car today. This will help the parts to last longer and reduce maintainance.

So great tip is to do any work you are comfortable with yourself. It will save you masses. Some garages charge £50-£250 an hour in labour dependant on the part.

So here it is (1.3 litre Suzuki Swift 1999)
