  1. If you have a rain sensor and you have some dirt on the sensor then it's normal they do a swipe or two. Rear single swipe on reverse is also normal.
  2. My list of problems: 2012 Diesel pump rebuilt 2013 Refurbished steering rack, new exhaust 2014 New alarm, acting up, problem not found 2015 Repaired the instrument cluster, no power. Replaced the transmission with a Focus unit from a scrap yard. 268,000 km on the Odo.
  3. Anything but the engine and transmission should be identical.
  4. Prefer tinting film, easily reversible if getting harassed by authorities.
  5. Is the fluid level ok? When was it last changed?
  6. I have never named any of my cars but people call it a kiss bus due to the huge mouth on the side.
  7. It's always together with tire changing bits. The attachment is in the front bumper.
  8. ..or apply when new and have "new" paint 10 years in.
  9. Red, the white part is the skin tone around the lips. Here's a timelapse video from your video's related ones. My UK colleagues' van being wrapped: (i don't know how to embed in this forum)
  10. I just asked the dealer when would be the good time to replace the transmission fluid in my Toyota "Never" "WHAT???" "No need to, it's for life" Oh, come on.
  11. Semigloss should work the best. Satin or smth.
  12. Make sure the overall diameter stays the same or you'll mess up the TPMS report.
  13. OW! Nice! I may take a hint here for my next wrap, if it's ok
  14. There is no fuel economy increase using higher octane fuel if your engine is not specifically tuned for it. Timing is not an issue, your compression rate, cam geometry etc are the issues. You can not change those by analyzing the knock or the lack of it. There's also no difference in fuel cleanliness, this is just a fuel quality issue. Slower burning rate of the higher octane does not have any effect here.
  15. No it doesn't. The transmissions are reliable enough and there are hardly ever any leaks so the dealer can check it when servicing it. Back in the old days it was completely different.
  16. You may have had a loose fuel cap.
  17. Most car components have gone metric for a while ago. You don't really have any imperial parts in even American cars.
  18. In podcast era, why? (I'm not being sarcastic here)
  19. Yes I have. I'm on my second set of aftermarket speakers. OEM speakers are standard single paper cone units with limited frequency response. First I threw in some spare 5x7" 3-way speakers, had to do some door frame cutting as they didn't fit at all. The rims on those blew a few years ago, so I bought a pair of powerful OEM size GAS-branded 2-way speakers, fixed the sheetmetal to bring it back to factory size mount. Less punch than on the 5x7s but still much better sound than the OEM. I run an aux amp (2x35W) to drive these but for lower listening volumes the quality difference is there even with the factory head unit. Nowadays I only listen to podcasts and no music, so it's all good. Naturally, I insulated the outer sheetmetal with tar mat while the door cards were off.
