Wandering off topic but: watch for rusting aftermarket caliper slide pins. Factory and 25 years old are not much of a worry, but if the calipers have ever been replaced then I'd pull them and grease them now.

You are either rubbing the backing plate or the shoes are slightly out of arc with the drum.

Put the shoes back on and just them to locked up, then back up 3 clicks. Now set brake cable tension to full brakec5vlever clicks up.

Don't rule out a bad rotor. That spot on the rotor looks very much to me like what I got on a car with very cheap Chinese rotors some years ago. The problem was with the steel that the rotor were made of not being "pure" and uniform all the way through. The results were hard spots that did...

Im guessing that the tank is HDPE with some kind of liner for the fuel container. That plastic liner means it can't be recycled as HDPE so it get the 7-OTHER Maybe thats the PEHD-SS labelling? FOr purposes of welding, I would try an HDPE weld - I bet that works outside. God, this guy is good. Just ...

Yep, that’s the diagnosis. That will make the rotor rust badly on one side and basically suck.

Been there, done that. I prefer lifting the entire dash so I don't have a problem with the fitting at the right side of the center console. There are a lot of steps, but none very difficult. You will need some small torx tools, a T10 and T8? First, get the correct odometer reading from the instrumen...

It's funny, it used to be that a big chunk of active members on the forum had done the odo gears, now with the P80s retiring it is probably very few. You're not lifting the entire dash - just the top dash pad. But I agree, remove the dash pad don't bend it. At this vintage bending it may crack it. I...

You might want to swap out the large light bulbs while you are in there. I used a drill with about 1/4 inch thick of masking tape wrapped around a wooden pencil. It took me at least 1 hour to go 30K miles. The rubber eraser doesn't work as the rubber crumbles and mucks up the gears. The drill runs i...

- From another post this is Yagger's information. I will contact you for information on making a new key and purchasing a used fob on a 2003 S80 T6. Hope you can also repair 2 remotes for a 2008 C30. The remote for the C30 can no longer open or close the doors but can be used to start the vehicle. A...
