I have a major leak in my power steering rack. Obviously, the steering is very heavy without the power assist. But am I going to damage the car running it this way? I've driven 30 miles home from where the seal ruptured already. It's going to be a few days until I can obtain parts, this is my only c...

thanks, I'll test the vacuum pump. Yes, I'm aware that the rear lights may be the REM. I've eliminated just about everything else at this point, but am curious to know why the top brake light has suddenly decided to not work. I was thinking that the new noise in the engine compartment might be the p...

2004 XC70 I've been chasing a problem with my brake lights. At first my 2 lower brake lights wouldn't come on, but the top light did. But now the top light isn't coming on, either. I've noticed a buzzing sound coming from the engine compartment while pressing the brake pedal and am wondering what co...

Yeah, I know, don't hate me:) I'll put proper tires on just as soon as this financial crunch is in my rear view mirror. In the end, I didn't buy the 235/45/18 snows. I put 2 brand new Coopers on, and drove them for 500 miles before my next disaster hit - a blown wheel bearing. I can't catch a break ...

I'm in a bit of a bind financially. My S60R has 235/40/18s on it, and one of my front tires has a bulge the size of an egg in the sidewall thanks to the potholes all around town. I've located a set of used snows 235/45/18 - can I run these for a couple of months until I can afford a new set of all s...

What kind of oil goes in the pancake? I'm referring to the one that is to the right of the transmission with the drive shafts coming out of it.

Thanks

Thanks, abscate. I'll check them out, should Randall not work out for me for any reason.

Randall Automotive in Rensselaer are being recommended by a couple of people. Any other recommendations, or should I just go with them?

Thanks

2006 XC70 My 2006 XC70 has been sitting in my driveway for a year because I've been a little short of funds to get issues dealt with. But it's time to make something happen. Fired her up the other day after at least 6 months of not starting her, and she fired right up. Engine sounded gorgeous. Last ...

I'm having what I think is an immobilizer issue with my 2006 XC70. I'll start from the beginning. 2 weeks ago, I tried to start my car and I couldn't turn the key past the Accessory position. I could, and still can, take it out of steering lock. But I couldn't put it in neutral to push it out of the...
