Tired of DIY!

DIY- or and I sometimes call it DYI (do yourself in lol.) For some people who can't do or fix things will have that one thing which is left to someone else to handle so they can try and enjoy whatever that "one thing" is. And maybe this is your "one thing."

For me it's the outboard motor on my Bassboat. I don't work on it much beyond simple repairs. Could I learn, sure. Will I learn, nope. I take it to a man who knows them and when I get things done it can go right in the water with 100% confidence end of discussion.....

It sound like your problems are minimal things (plural) that are creating all your problems. Easily remedied but if what I wrote make sense to you then screw it and when your funds allows take it to whomever you trust and let them get you sorted out so you can enjoy your car. It's just that simple...

Good luck man,
