Is there an easy way to turn off the TMPS warning light permanently?

I don't place much value on the TMPS system. It's just an idiot light as far as I'm concerned. NOTE--I an NOT

Yeah, for some kinds of loads, putting them on that kind of trailer, might put less strain on a Mirage than putting the same weight on the back seats.

I remember a little car that sold for an "aggressively lower price" than others, the Yugo. Back when other low-priced little cars cost $7-8,000, you could get a Yugo for $5,000. We got one. It was...

Years ago, I pulled a 13' fiberglass travel trailer behind my 77 VW bus, with an 18' aluminum canoe tied on top of the bus and the bus loaded for a 2-week vacation. Still got about 20 mpg (close to...

Bad alignment usually causes uneven wear patterns on tires.

If the wear seems especially even, I doubt that the wear is caused by an alignment issue. Not to say, getting alignment checked isn't...

Some articles about higher octane requirements call the sound caused by too low of an octane (for certain engines) pinging and some call it knocking. They are referring to the sound. Some pinging...

If it could be clog related, I'd go with respected a fuel system cleaner. (People opposed to fuel additives, sit on your hands for five minutes.) Next I'd consider replacing the fuel filter.

I don't think I said sound "deadening." And few responders have mentioned any effect on wind sound with the deflectors they've used on their Mirages.

I was thinking of how one usually doesn't...

The pick-up truck of today has lost its way, in my opinion. A pick-up should be a utilitarian vehicle with an interior you could just about wash out with a hose if you need to clean it. The interior...

I was thinking about installing some rain deflectors above the opening windows of my Mirage's side doors. It's been a long time since I've had those on a vehicle. They have, or are said to have,...

If you look back at my first post in this thread, you'll see that the first time I ever struggled with windshield glare was after I started wearing eyeglasses all of the time and found night-time...

While we own our 2015 DE, high speed will be about 56mph, and it will rarely see that.

The 2015 mantenance manual has two schedules. The one for harder driving conditions suggests oil changes every 3750 miles, and the one for lighter driving suggests oil changes every 7,500 miles. I...

This link says that my recommendation of yellow night driving glasses is total crap, and dangerouus:

When I first started wearing eye glasses, glare from oncoming headlights bothered me a lot.

If the problem isn't from windshield scratching/etching. The original poster might try those polarized...

Nobody has to show a diploma in automotive mechanics in order to join this forum. There are threads I don't even open up because I don't have a clue about the subject, or because it's about some diy...

You can always just take the rims in and leave the car at home. If the tire shop asks what those 175s are going on, tell 'em it's your dune buggy. ;)

I'd much rather look at a clear set of pictures, along with precise instructions, than look at a video. Thanks!

This was very helpful in helping me find and remove the old cabin air filter in my...

This mod wouldn't help me. I hardly ever pass...except for slow farm equipment. I'm the guy driving 52 mph, making you pass me because you left for your destination too late.

But you...

Wouldn't a kiwi-colored Mirage be brown and furry? You have to cut those fruit open to see any green.

I think one of the first things people new to this idea of getting better mileage by improving driving habits should understand is that the harder you tromp down on the brakes the more gas you are...

I had a mid-90s Geo Metro 4-door Hatchback for a couple of years. I loved it. I got it used, when it was a few years old. The prior owner had put platinum spark plugs in it, an upgrade from...
