The carbasics.co.uk site was established in 2006 to bring you easy to follow but detailed articles on DIY car repair.

Whether you want to learn about the different parts of your car (e.g.What is an alternator) or you want to know how to test or change a part of your
vehicle (e.g.How to change a car battery), our articles are designed to be straight forward,
with no jargon and easy to follow.

We set up this blog so that you can be kept up to date with all things
automotive and learn some interesting auto-related facts.
