I'm looking to buy a brake bleeder kit that would be able to do both brakes and clutch on a 2005 CR-V. I'm interested in hopefully getting a Motive or else Speedi-Bleed but am not sure which one would be best to cover both. Bonus if there's something that will also handle other vehicles or...

A sad day here…the end of an era! I bought my 93 Tercel for $3k in January 2007, knowing it had been neglected. The following month, I rebuilt the engine myself and had a local shop rebuild the transmission. I suspect I could have just done the valve stem seals and some drain and fills on the...

I purchased a 2011 Nissan Leaf today! 95,000km (59,030 miles) and a current range of about 90km (56 miles). This replaces a 2010 Nissan Frontier, which was getting very expensive to put gas in and which we no longer needed now that my parents are in a Condo. Battery State of Health is 68% so...

I’m replacing the starter in my 2005 CRV with the 2.4L K24. Probably will take it out tomorrow and take to an auto electric shop to rebuild. I’ll do this by removing the intake manifold so will be doing a lot of the work from the top. While I have access and am in there, are there any...

https://freewiretech.com/ These chargers look interesting. A DC fast charger that contains high capacity batteries to store grid power. What this will do is allow the operator/owner to easily install the unit and power it with a lower powered circuit that can be quickly and cheaply provided...

I've got a 2010 Nissan Frontier SE Crew Cab with 265/70/R16 111T - vehicle has 85,000km. These are the factory tires and still have lots of tread but, at 12 years old, I'd like to replace them. I live in Victoria, BC, which gets tons of rain in winter but little snow. Summers are dry. We get no...

I have a 2005 CR-V with the seatbelt light coming on intermittently. The dealership says the passenger belt buckle needs to be replaced…the part is about $700 and labour brings it close to $1000. This is, of course, absolutely insane. Believe it or not, both the driver and passenger buckles...

First time doing a UOA. 1993 Toyota Tercel at 295,143 KM. I rebuilt the motor at 190,000km due to neglect by the previous owner, so it has a bit over 100,000KM on rebuild. I have used Formula Shell exclusively since that time, with at least the last 5 changes being with the SN variety. I did...

I'd like to change the gear oil in the 5-speed transmission and transfer case on a 4x4 1994 Geo Tracker. I think a GL-4 would be best but I am also looking for a dino oil if one is out there. So far I only have the option of using the GM oil, which is about $20/quart, or I could go for the...

I have an 81 Corolla that runs and starts well when cold. Often, it also starts and runs fine when hot. Sometimes, though, when it is hot (i.e. after driving for a while) it won't crank and there is no clicking at all - nothing happens. The electrical accessories get power but the starting...

I have an 81 Corolla with Automatic transmission. My thinking is that this takes Type F fluid...can anyone confirm that? I've never dealt with Type F before and am wondering if there are any good fluids to use or perhaps any substitutes that may be a bit better.

I've got a 1981 Corolla 4-door wagon and the front door handles on both sides are broken. These are not made any more and I can find no aftermarket suppliers either. This likely means that I'll need to try to source from a junkyard. Even the Junkyards don't seem to have many and I'm wondering...

I've got a 1993 Tercel. It starts and idles well in all weather and circumstances. Last winter, I noticed that in the morning, before the motor warmed up, the throttle wouldn't respond promptly. The car would either slowly start moving or wouldn't respond for a few seconds and would then go...

I've been looking around for a set of flywheel bolts for my 88 S-10 Pickup with the 2.5L. The dealer says they're discontinued and I can't seem to find them anywhere. I'm wondering if there might be a supplier that still has them or makes them..

I have a '93 Tercel with 265,000km. It was abused when I got it at 190,000 so I rebuilt the engine and had a shop rebuild the transmission at the same time. I've had no problems to date and have had the transmission serviced twice, which consisted of a pan drop and new fluid. I don't know what...
