oil under spark plug cover

I am sure the breather kit needs replacing but the car just is not worth it due to multiple other problems, is there a "quick fix" just until I can get another car. Can I some how clean out this unit to get it to work some-what properly for a couple of weeks?

clean up - Avon Skin So Soft, shampoo, Lava soap?

OK not sure if anybody has heard of this, but after working on my father-in-law's brakes he told me to use shampoo to wash my hands with. Skeptically, I tried it and it worked as well if not better than any hand cleaner I have ever used. I have used enough trust me! Not sure if the brand matters but ...

Transmission fluid

What to do if the transmission is too full? I realize it is not to be over full but its been this way for at least 2 years now. Just by chance could this be where my oil is going?

Re: 850 GLT Powered Mirror Issue

I am having the same issue, if you push on the top part of the mirror while pushing the button to make it go up mine will move, give it a try and let me know what happens. A bit of a pain but better than it stuck down all the time.

Re: rear shocks

OK, so the bushing in the end link has wore out, that is the noise I was hearing and thought it was the shock. I know this is a major PITA to change just from what I've read, but will it last another couple of months until I can fix it? (Not a whole lot of fun laying in the driveway in the winter) I ...

Re: tire rotation

So the car is needing an alignment, is this some thing I can do my self in my driveway?

As far as my question on switching sides I was more wondering if the tire running in the "wrong" direction would affect how the car drives.

tire rotation

I have cheap tires on my car that have gone bald in less than 10K, but only the outer edges. what would happen if I switched sides with them? They do show rotation direction on the sidewalls.

One other non related question, can a Volvo Exhaust Pipe Flange Gasket be used to reconnect my exhaust pipe ...
