If you want a engine additive that helps prolong engine life, you want to go with a zinc/ZDDP or Ceramic additive. Examples would be BG MOA or Lubro-Moly Ceratec.
As a life long user of Lucas products in my older vehicles, Id avoid it, Its just a thickener, it has zero special additives in it. If your going to spend money on it just switch to a heavier Weight...
sorry to necro this a bit; but this review is actually one of the things that really 'sold' me that I was on the right track when leaning towards this car. Every 'negative' thing he mentioned is...
I think you're right, they give us a large reserve for a margin of safety. I was returning home from a visit to family & my fuel gage started flashing ~ 100 km from home. It was @ night with gas...
Most tire experts (if there is such a thing) will say the better tires should be on the rear axle of your vehicle. I can honestly say I do the opposite of that most of the time. I currently have 4...
New or the best tires should always go on the rear of the car. If the front of the car starts to slide, you can counteract because you can steer the front wheels. If the back of the car starts to...
I would keep the newer ones up front myself. I'm no expert but seems to be what people do. I dunno I haven't had my rear spin out as much as need traction up front when the weather gets bad.
Welcome aboard. Lots of ex-Metro people here..and a few current Metro people. I have owned a few of them, and sold my last after the engine burned yet another exhaust valve 110k miles after I...
Good job.
Next time if anything cover the positive post. If you touch a wrench into the negative terminal nothings gonna happen… touch the positive post with a wrench while tightening the battery...
Yup. Bought it used in 2019 with 36k.
Sounded just like yours. Thicker oil doesn't fix piston slap. It'd probably last a while but why not get try to get a free engine. Dodgearies k car karl got...
If you have the es+ (that has bluetooth) I'd highly recommend buying the proper cruise control buttons and attempting to have a competent dealer enable cruise in the etacs module over the rostra...
Check to make sure the lower radiator bracket hasn't been pushed back. If it has, it's apparently easy to straighten out. But it could be a point for negotiations.
I have an idea. What if when you test drive the CVT, after you finish vomiting, you negotiate a deal for the car. Of course with no intention to buy it, but don't tell the dealer that.
This is my attempt to condense all of the engine block heater information (including pictures and installation instructions) into a single post. Hopefully having this info in one spot will help...
How to remove the rear seat has been asked and mentinoed a few times on the forum. So, Darin asked me to take some pictures and do a write up of it while I had the test Mirage from...
