    2001 Lincoln Continental - $5000 repair estimate in front suspension & steering - reasonable?

    $820 for one rear calliper, can someone price a genuine rear calliper? I bet it’s max half of this and labour shouldn’t be more than like $100

    $35k rust belt truck - how much rust is acceptable?

    Why do you need to take both vehicles down with you? Sell them locally and take any cash you make with you. You may find southern dealers offer you less for your northern vehicles because of the rust so this may benefit you financially anyway.

    2001 Lincoln Continental - $5000 repair estimate in front suspension & steering - reasonable?

    I just fell off my chair. Those prices are what I would expect you to be paying if the car was in at a Lincoln dealer using genuine parts. Not dubious quality aftermarket parts. I would definitely seek out a second opinion and why not get it looked over by a Lincoln or Ford dealer and see what...

    Forgot to mention the Audi Q7 3.0 TDI PHEV, launched in 2015. Wonder what bigjl has to say about this one!

    Why haven’t we seen many diesel PHEVs?

    I’m pretty sure all the main dealers had one as a demonstrator. I think at that point in time though nobody really wanted to pay the higher cost for one.

    Brake Noise - only when pads are warmed up

    Must be just me, as a professional mechanic, that hasn’t had the need in all the pads I’ve fitted ,of decent quality, to file any of them down. This is a cheap pad problem or a rusted pad carrier problem. Are all those that are filing down pads re applying the powder coat to stop the metal from...

    Some people value what they can have and use everyday rather than the once or twice a year expense of a cruise or European holiday.

    2016 Land Rover diesel? Motor oil selection

    You can snap a crank and have intact bearings so that is its own issue. That is due to the engine being made too short to fit it into FWD vehicles like the Citroen C6. Compare a TDV6 crank to a VAG 3.0 TDI crank and you will see the difference. The TDV6 also has poor engine harmonics as it has...
