I sucessfully managed to change the battery in my Mini today, all on my own.
I had offers from kind and well meaning men to come over and do it for me. I told them that I'm a competent, independent woman, and I was sure I could do it, thanks very much.
If you catch me making proclamations like that in the future, please tell me not to be such a twat. An hour and a half of my life I will never get back. And those things are feckin' HEAVY!!

@Jaimieserotica They're called lead-acid batteries for a reason...

Luckily I never have to fix anything on my car by virtue of not having one, but the one time I helped my sister with changing tires we seriously struggled (even after getting help from our (much more car person) uncle)

@Jaimieserotica I'll stick to machines that I can disassemble and reassemble on my own without heavy equipment, is what I mean to say
