Mr. and Mrs. Fix-it!

I drive a 2002 Ford Escape.  It is the first new car I've ever bought, its been paid off for a while now and I love it!

I've enjoyed learning how to do basic repairs...Change a tire, air up the tires and check / refill fluids. Oil, coolant, window washer fluid. 

Recently my coolant light had been lighting up, so I check my level, its low, I fill it up and call it good.

A couple of days later I go in for an oil change (coolant light is on again).  I ask them to check it and it seems that my coolant overflow tank has a crack and is leaking.  They want $200 to fix it.  The Hubs says, "No Way!  We will do it!" so I bring it home.

We watched a how to YouTube video on how to change one out, found the tank at Auto Zone for $70, and half an hour later I had a brand new tank!  Yay us!


New tank.
How pretty is that?!


Much easier than you think!

If you ever want to know how to do something...watch a how to YouTube video!
