Thanks @johnnyhotdog and @Olly398
I've never had an older car before and part of the reason for getting one was so I could better understand how it works. There's only very basic electrics in it and none of the sensors and computers that control modern cars.
I got so fed up with taking our last car to the garage and having to blindly trust the mechanic - usually resulting in a couple of hundred quid spend only to reveal another problem that needed more money thrown at it.
Touch wood the Chevy has been very well behaved so far. What little I've needed to look at I've been able to figure out myself through forums and research. Very rewarding getting greasy under the hood and tinkering with it it in the driveway. 😬😬
