All, So, my 12v battery lasted nearly 10 years (and over 120k miles). Bought the car in December of 2006, and I just had to replace it this week....
That's awesome. Yeah, I don't apply with that much force. It's just gotten "loose". I'll take a look... maybe just some brake cleaner would un-gum...
Awesome on the brake thing! I'll have to try that. I and my wife (only drivers) do use the parking brake most of the time (98% probably). But,...
All, I have a weird issue. Randomly, seems like once a month, my rear passenger side brake will make a horrible, car rattling...
so, just got it back. said it was a body panel seal below the right tail light (which makes sense given where the water was coming from). Will...
they said they were just going to remove all the trim, and stick it in their shower and figure out where the leak is... so yeah, could be...

Off base on pretty much all of them. No mice, car is garaged, always replace cabin filter. And it's not the AC/heat that stinks. Car was rear...
Ah, okay. So, feeling the liquid, it's both watery and oily I'd say. So not sure. If water got in, there is clearly a leak from the repair work...
I also know petroleum oils will break down rubber, but I'm unsure about natural oils, or if the oil has been vulcanized. If that's all it is, I...
Fish oil based! That would explain the smell! I just figured it smelled like an Amine (like epoxy hardener). Sorry, I've been saying resin, when I...
I haven't thought of asking for a detailing, but good idea. I did think about calling the insurance company should they refuse. Attached are...

bugly64, aren't they great? I've had mine for almost 10k, and I'm averaging MUCH better mileage. I am going to crunch the actual numbers when I...
