Guys I'm back in Scotland and need a Volvo of course. The problem is with Gas costing $9 a gallon I ain't touching a 2.3 Turbo petrol car with a very long pole attached to a very long pole. I need a diesel. Now I am not intending to run it on diesel either as I know people use veggie oil. some filtr...

Look at the Blow off valve or dump valve as its known. It sounds like its not holding boost and leaking. This could give bad economy as well.

It was Kyrlon from Home Depo and its also sold in Walmart. As long as you scrap off the rust with a wire brush it will stick. Honestly I noticed all the new Mercs have the rotors painted as well.

There is a small black check valve, not the large clear filter that picks up junk. This black CV is behind the rear tail lamps. This will be your problem. It was on mines. I just removed the valve and used a pipe in its place. Cost zero.

Where about in East Texas are you? I live in South East Houston and I'm sure a member close by could put in a few hours to help remove the head so you can have it skimmed and then its just a case of putting it back together again. I'm leaving Houston this week and I'm selling all my stuff which is t...

Actually from my research, some like LED some don't (and switch back to OEM bulbs). Personally, I like the OEM bulbs. I know why.

I agree with the steam as I saw people removing tints on Youtube with the steamer. I never thought to look at Youtube for help but there it was all along.

I think I have reached my limit on pictures I can upload? I just used Image Shack to complete this thread. Sorry for it being so choppy. I cleaned the front windows with comet as they had glue, hand prints and all sorts on them. I just wanted it done right. You can see the difference the tint makes....

Well you don't need much in the way of tools. A Olfa snap off knife. A squeegee, some Baby Shampoo and a mountain of perseverance. I had old tints on my glass which I painstakingly peeled off. That took two days. After that I had to knife and use a brake cleaner to make sure nothing remained. Everyt...

Hi Guys. My selector light has been died for years. My wife hates that she can't see what gear she is in when backing up in the dark. So I pulled the console and did this small mod with an LED as the OEM bulb is a bit pathetic and expensive for what it is. Remember I put the LEDs in the rear license...
