Easy....

Take the weight off the tyres by jacking it up it, you will then find it turns fairly easily. None power steering heavy cars, tended to have more turns lock to lock, to give more leverage. I still managed to nearly rip my shoulder out parking Granadas with no power steering.

Fix a poor handbrake; DIY ABS diagnostic unit; Loan of the spanner needed to change the CDT belts; free OBD diagnostics +MAF; Correct Bosch MAF cheap; DVB-T install in an ex-hi-line system; DD install with a HK amp; FBH servicing.

I've taken a vow of poverty. To annoy me, send money.
