SWMBO surprised me recently by asking that I show her how to do the basic spannering required by her car.
So far she has changed the oil & filters, stripped and cleaned the brake callipers, replaced pads all round and adjusted headlight levels, all with the apparent air of enjoying the whole process.
Is this normal behaviour?
I am aware that I may be letting an easy way of earning brownie points (i.e. by performing mysterious sterotypically male under-bonnet duties) slip out of my grasp, but I'm hoping that it might pay for itself in due course - I live in fear of comments like "What does a thermometer over a wiggly line mean? There's been a light on for a couple of weeks and I just wondered.."
So, does anyone else have better halves demanding to be let loose with the socket set?
