I am pretty sure I have a slow leak of brake fluid. A month or so ago my brake light came on intermittently. I checked the fluid levels and they were low so I topped them off and all was well. The...

Well, I finally got around to doing this and it WORKED! I almost lost one of my two factory keys so bought some Iilco ones off eBay, had them cut at Lowes for like $3, and programmed it myself. All...
Well, I got it done. The magnetic rings were all dirty and I couldn't tell they were a separate piece. They are just pressed on so I pried them off and then pressed them back onto the new drums by...
It is the buttons. You push them and they either don't respond or do something completely different than requested. It is probably some electronic microswitch that would cost more more in time than...
I wanted to let everyone know that the Kenwood is installed and working well. I have only had it on for 10 minutes but it sounds noticeably better and the buttons work of course. I like that the...
Yeah, you get what you pay for. There was no way to make the el cheapo sit out in front of the adapter plate. The body was simply too wide even with the mounting sleeve removed. I could have...
I have a 2015 DE and am having issues with the radio. I know this is a complaint of these cars even when working fine and guess they can't offer a premium unit for what these cars cost. The buttons...
The car is from 2016 or 2017 (I forget) so it is good on that. Either way this needs to get in sooner than later. I will call the dealer first thing tomorrow.

I have always wondered about using the Mobil 1 European 0W40 in these engines. I know it probably isn't needed and might kill mileage quite a bit but this is a great oil for the money. Someone here...
I know many modern cars use ATF as their MTF fluid but don't know if I would want to do this on a car that is under warranty. I assume you can run an oil analysis on transmission fluid just like you...
The pad is fine. It is just the shadow of the bevel on the pad combined with the shadow of the backing that makes it look like this. Either way I thought it was worth a second look after seeing the...
I took off a wheel to do my brakes today and think they were simply dirty. There appears to be well over 50% of the pad thickness remaining next to the new ones I had on hand. The two slots for...
That is strange. I would definitely get a new clutch as they have to remove it anyway so labor should be free. You just pay for the part.
You may notice that the new engine seems less powerful...
Most cars these days have gone back to chains including the cheap ones. The Versa, Spark, Kia/Hyundai products, etc. are all using chains these days. I didn't really mind belts but they need to be...
These batteries appear to be the kind where you can add water which I like. You can unscrew the caps so I need to check mine and add if needed.

I just wanted to give an update that there have been no more issues so I suspect a bad connection was the reason. Again, this went away right after I unplugged and replugged the harness connectors. ...
It has been running just fine and I have probably put over 100 miles on it since then.
Conor
I don't think I posted this in the past but there seemed to be some interest when I was mentioning a check engine light issue that may have been caused by a loose connector possibly caused by this...
I would definitely stick with the specified synthetic oil as you should under "normal" driving. I am running the Mobil 1 0W20 EP. I also understand the newest Pennzoil Platinum Pure Plus or...
The Metro takes a Purolator PL10241. It looks like this fits most Kohler and Briggs engines. Apparently the others fit the Mirage.

A while back I was changing the oil on my Kohler based riding mower and drained the old oil out. I had the new oil and thought I had a filter on hand but didn't. So I wanted to mow the yard but...
The camera moved before impact because I slammed on the brakes so hard that the antilocks didn't even have a change to engage and I skidded into the deer.
This is just a Cobra 1080P dash cam. It...
Well, I did hit that deer when the car had about 2000 miles or so on it going like 55 mph. They had to replace the hood, front left fender, door, and window, plus other parts. The car drove after...
The local K-Mart has the yellow PL14610 filters for $3.44. I understand this is a great price and that the yellow ones have the grippy texture but are being replaced with a different color filter...
I work on electronics/computers for a living and can tell you that the quality of the cheap Chinese parts is all over the board. Some are actually of good quality while others will ruin a computer...
