Seems like you are fortunate to have such a mechanic.

I do all of my own maintenance and repairs so this business about buying your own parts and then having someone else make the repairs confuses me a bit. Do you take the car in for repairs, have the mechanic diagnose the problem and then call you to order the correct parts? Do you then take the...

1957 DeSoto Firedome hemi.

1968 Volkswagon Squareback bought new. No heat. No ventilation, leaked water like a sieve. Couldn't drive in the rain without getting wet from the knees down. Leaked gas. Wouldn't start from time to time. Had to take to dealer to fix things about once a month. Right after the warranty ran...

I bought this Stihl about 8 years ago. It has a lot of power and It gets a lot of use. So far, no problems. Gas it up, two easy pulls and go!

1997 Lexus LS400. 200,150 miles.

Thanks to all. I found where the connector with the brown and white wires go and see where the black and red wires need to be connected to supply power to the control board (red) and the transformer (black). You guys are a wonderful resource.

I received a Bosch BVA 2.0 air handler yesterday. There are two pairs of wires with bare ends and one connector with brown and white wires that is not plugged into anything. Could anyone who knows what these are for provide some advice? Dennis

Most if those old A5 16 gauge guns shoot a 2 9/16" shell. They will not properly eject the 2 3/4" shells that are standard today. I use 2 1/2" shells I bought from a company that makes vintage shotgun shells.

I replaced an alternator on my 1997 Lexus with a "Lifetime " Autozone (DuraLast) alternator. I was experiencing failures every few months with their alternators. Some didn't work new out of the box and they said it was something wrong with my car. Finally, I went in to exchange one and had...

They are dangerous on damp or smooth concrete.

I have a 26 year old Lexus LS400. About 8 years ago it started running poorly. I checked everything I could think of and the codes I got varied from one thing to another. I decided to check the ECU (computer). I removed it from under the dash (glove box area), opened it up an saw where...

Some lawn equipment with 4 stroke engines require 2 stroke oil be mixed with the fuel.

Timing chains are very durable and can last forever. The problem with them is that without proper maintenance (frequent oil changes) they can wear and lengthen. When this happens they start slapping against the chain guides. If the chain and guides are not replaced when this slapping sound...

I recently replaced the timing belt on my Lexus LS400. The OEM kit cost $350.00 and in addition to the timing belt, it included a water pump, cam shaft and crank seals, tensioner, drive belt, thermostat, gaskets and some other things. I had to pull the radiator and dismantle the entire front...
