    which H&K should I get

    I have a HK USP .45 full size blued for sale in 99% with holster for $500. The waepon is almost new, it has maybe 100 rounds through it. I can send you pics if you are interested. I'm in NY but my FFL is an easy guy to deal with and will just ship to your FFL if you like?

    Octane level

    I own a 2001 Audi TT 180 Quattro and the owners manual says the car requires 91 octane or higher. Since gas prices are getting very high I was wondering if I will damage my engine in any way by using 89 or even 87? Since I use this car to commute on the highway 50 miles each way I'm ok with a...

    Audi TT Transmission Fluids

    Thanks for all of the helpful advice. I am going to get the tranny fluid changed, does anyone know if the Mobil 1 ATF meets required specs for this car? Also, I just had the timing belt and water pump changed so the coolant must have been done also, correct? How do I know if the new coolant is...

    Audi TT Transmission Fluids

    I have a 2001 Audi TT with 70K miles this I try to take good care of by giving it 5K OCI with 5-30 Mobil 1. When I asked the dealer to do a transmission change (its a 5 speed manual) he told me its not needed as it has "lifetime" fluid. Is this possible? Is this advisable to never change the...

    2006 Range Rover HSE

    Land Rover put the Jaguar 4.4L V8 in the Range Rover starting in 2006. I am told that this is a much better engine than the BMW V8, but I guess only time will tell. This car does get free service for 50K miles with is really just an oil change every 7500. They say coolant should go 10 years...

    2006 Range Rover HSE

    I just purchased a 2006 Range Rover for the wife and was reading the owners manual, yup some of us still do that! I noticed that the oil sump holds 8 quarts of oil which is nice, but Land Rover specifies Castrol GTX 5-30 with the first change at 7,500 miles. I spoke to the head wrench at the...

    Audi TT Question

    I have a 2001 Audi TT Coupe and the left rear blinker lightbulb burned out. Now as all TT owners know NOTHING is simple on these vehicles. Changing this bulb appears to be difficult. Any tips? I opened the small "door" on the inside of the trunk area and found the back of the light housing but I...

    Any BMW riders out there?

    Actually, I will probably switch the tranny and final drive to Mobil 1 75-90 and see for myself if I get any "weeping" as it does not make any sense to me either. I hear that making the switch to Mobil 1 in the tranny really improves shifting significantly. I am not going to switch my crank case...

    Any BMW riders out there?

    I have a 2002 R1100S and since it only has 7,500 miles I still use BMW dino which is supposed to be very good oil with 3k oil changes. I also use bmw dino in the tranny and final drive, however, I am planning on changing the tranny to Mobil 1 75-90 gear oil this spring. I have heard from my...

    Extended Warranty?

    As always, thanks fellas for all of your great advice. I am going to shop around and try to negotiate with the dealer. If I can't get him to lower his price then I am just going to keep a car savings account as was suggested. I'll keep everyone posted! OT- This is the best car board around and...

    Extended Warranty?

    The factory warranty on my 2001 Audi TT Quatro will be up in 3K miles. The car currently has 47K miles on the odometer. What are the general thoughts on extended warranty? The dealer has offered me an Audi backed plan that is 3 years and will take me to 100K but the cost is $2950!! That seems...

What makes somes Piaa lights cost $300 and some Walmart lights cost $50? Is there that much difference in their light out put and quality? Is the extra...

    Is Mercon V ok in P/S ?

    I am doing a change of the power steering fluid in my 1998 Ford Explorer with 69K miles. The manual calls for "Mercon ATF" I used Mercon V as I had some left over from the tranny fluid swap. Is this the correct fluid? Will Mobil 1 ATF be a better choice or can I just leave it with the Mercon V...

    Fluids For an Audi TT 1.8 Turbo

    I am currently running Cooper Zeons 225/45/17 which are AA/A Trac/temp. rated with a wear rating of 280. I have about 5K miles on them so far and they still look new. I have not auto X on them yet but driving in the street, they seem to grip very well wet and dry.
