So we'll kick off at the very beginning with getting the car off the ground. Even if you don't feel ready, or simply don't wish, to carry out any specific tasks, it may encourage to take a look at your car from underneath and start to get a feel for where things are, how they are put together - and to begin a fuller understanding of your Seven.
