no, from when I was about 2 until about 8 I did every service on that car, by 3 years old I knew all the greasing points, dad used to deliberately miss one every now & then for me to pick up on him & tell him, he was very strict about servicing, even had special red plastic caps that fitted over each grease nipple protecting it from dirt & making it easier to find, in 11 years the only trouble the car EVER gave was terminal engine failure about 2km from home
