Moin, picked up my thickness from Dinslaken on the weekend – home journey approx. 600km. In between the Vmax tested – at 140 the speedo needle ran into nowhere and simply stopped there. Think that there are 180-190 in it. It lurks something, but pulls always further… Anyway, then about 50km before home the upper cooler hose, which leads to the thermostat, burst up with a loud bang of the length. Motor immediately shut down and let roll out. One – the box rolls but also el The joy did not last long: despite filling up new cooling water in balance tanks AND coolers, the engine boiled up within a few kilometers. When the storage trays came out clacking, I immediately switched off. Hood on – it hissed and boiled a little in the area of the heads. Looked into the cooler – faded empty. Suddenly, the water from the supply container glaciated. My guess: Thermostat defective – but that during the ride? On the weekend I take it out and put it in boiling water. Maybe the WaPu is also over – but first after the thermostat. Oil was not in the water and vice versa nothing to see. Your thoughts about it? LG – MT

Meal, I need your advice again. My 67 Chevrolet Impala ran on 7 cylinders. So I turned out all spark plugs. The spark plug from the 7th cylinder had strong Plack (see picture). I type on piston rings or valve guide. There is a similar post however I wanted to know from you whether it makes sense to buy an outdated 305 or to have the engine overtaken. Since I can’t repair and can’t expand the engine, you have to I have everything done and that would be really expensive What do you think about it? I come from Augsburg in Bavaria. Thanks and greetings Markus

Hello everyone, I have noticed today that my Firebird have the wheels on the rear axle game. It is not a tilting game, but purely axial. Man can move the wheels out and in in a few millimeters. When driving there is nothing to notice, it can also be that this has been the case for a longer time. I have to go to the tuv next month, motts he around there ? That the rear axles have game, I have heard often, just wanted to have your opinion about it. Thanks in advance, Tom

Hello colleagues, I am interested in a Cadillac XT5 as a new car/day registration. I have now studied various new car offers on the Internet. Among them offers with photos of vehicles still without registration plates. I noticed that there seems to be no prefabricated holes/threads in the tailgate, which could be used later for fixing the license plate or a license plate holder.Did I recognize this so correctly? Are there XT5 owners who confirm this o If it’s like I think I’ve seen it, then it’s almost a “no go” for me to get the XT5. Missing holes in a tailgate made of sheet metal mean that you usually have to bore into the sheet metal. Ergo makes me (unnecessarily) a source of corrosion. In the case of new cars, which stand at the dealer, it’s often the case that the holes are already drilled and empty plate holders are mounted. I myself did it years ago with a new car. Car collection was experienced, where I had claimed a wrongly seated plate holder and then where before my eyes was drilled again quickly into the sheet metal, so that the plate holder could be mounted straight. I could not look at it at all so quickly. When I left the car after 2 years, I dared to look under the plate plate: rust base. Sure. The holes were also not protected in any way against corrosion. all. Alternative would still be to attach the plates with Velcro tape. For this there are probably corresponding solutions, which I have seen at Amazon. But this could prove to be a problem, that the Velcro tape does not have full contact with the tailgate at the back, because about where the plate should go, is a small depression in the sheet metal.

Hello, because I bought a nice old camper in Holland out of a whim and would like to allow this in D. Of course there are obstacles, the Tüv North/South could not help so far. It is a Vogue II camper, Made in the USA, Bj 1980, beautiful original condition Dodge Truck Chassis and Motor (Benziner, 440ci) New it was at that time even registered in Germany, from then on something should be possible, it went then to Holland. The German papers are no longer vo 2 old HU investigations and a car letter I was able to get a copy of the vehicle. The axle test book is there, which is not for gas. The then German dealer no longer exists. Purchase documents are there. The vehicle was normally registered in Holland until 2017. The NL papers are not enough for registration here, key number 0 My neighbour is at the GTÜ and can only do a HU, that would only be possible with a issued letter. He referred me to the Tüv Hannover for individual acceptance, the want a data sheet. The Tüv North and South does not have a data sheet for the vehicle and unfortunately no further help, as I have requested. How do I get the Fhz back approved? Individual acceptance, yes, is there created a data sheet? Who does this? That this money should not be the problem, if it is not equal to 500€. But who helps further ?

Hello first of all I’m a newcomer here in the forum and I also have a few questions. first of all about the situation, I’m just about to buy a new car, best of all, ami. like probably many other us beginners in my old age, I want to have a nice but inexpensive car. I’ve already gucked into one or the other ami and also searched the well-known insurances online but none of the heinis offers such vehicles in their database. so my question 1. which insurance insurance amis cheap 2. how does that relate to the taxes and the insurance with oldtimer and not oldtimer 3. where do I get cheap reasonable (solider ramen, etc.) ami further questions certainly follow thx already for the help until then

Hello, I am currently driving an Opel Omega B and would like to buy a new car. I totally fell in love with the Lincoln Town Car from 1998. Ask now whether I buy a newer Omega or a Town Car. Can you tell me a lot about this car. Equipment, consumption, running costs, problems, comfort, etc. ? Does the car actually have Navi and Xenon? Where is it best to go to the workshop in case of problems? Thank you

Hi guys, I bought my big one a new engine oil tank. Unfortunately replica from Taiwan as it turned out afterwards. Problem: First of all to get out the old orange original oil tank. No place, came with the petrol pipes as well as the exhaust under it not to pull them out. Axle, starter as well as exhaust screwed down. New oil tank used however, we now stood in the assembly of the exhaust now at the new oil tank. That seems to have a flatter curvature or It’s a little deeper. Maybe 0.5 cm. Both oil pans look the same with the eye. Well, now we had to separate the exhaust with the Flex and just improvised and welded three exhaust pieces together to somehow get past the oil pan and to the fastening cuff. Some solution because that can’t stay. Is there a exhaust piece from the aggregate carrier to the trouser tube that is different or deeper? Original version would be great. Exhaust system is 2.5 Z oll Dual Exhaust without cat. 1984 Trans Am. picture in annex MfG

Hello, more by chance I got to a very well-preserved Caddi DeVille. Cream colors, but ok you get used to there too. A few little things don’t work and I hope you can help me. Or is there a special forum for such a car to which I should turn? Anyway, this car is about:http://www.bedroombett.de/docs/caddy/ And these are the problems: – When I turn the fans on “HI” just as a lukewarm air blows out of the openings as on “LO” or “AUTO”. Is there a fan broken or does that belong to it? Could this be because the climate urgently needs to be refilled? – rear right door is simply always closed and not openable, not from the inside, not from the outside, no matter which lever you act like. Is this a “known problem”, possibly a hidden child safety device? Can you just fix this, if yes how? Since the door does not open you can probably not even unscrew internal cladding. “Levelling Process” lights up, but nothing happens and it seems to me that the caddy is a bit “hidden” and hung down in the back… but I already noticed with other amis of this kind. Should you do something or just take it because this is the case with a 21-year-old ami? Um yes, other little things don’t bother any more. Once the battery was completely unloaded overnight, we could never find out why. The parking brake light shows not only a operated parking brake on s The right outside mirror is broken, but only the glass – where can I get a replacement? Ebay seemed to me the only source for spare parts at all, but unfortunately not reported… just as I need a wheel cap, but I’m also ready to buy a whole set. And: I don’t have any manuals, so it wouldn’t be bad. So if someone is just “slaughtering” please report to me. The Caddy has 4.1 l capacity – but since he has English papers, he doesn’t show up any horsepower anywhere, does he know how much he has? Apparently, two variants are circulating, either about 130 or about 160 hp. Many warm greetings from a new member of this forum and a very proud and satisfied Caddy owner at the same time! You learn to love such a piece of jewellery very quickly despite small quirks, just like with a he wife hihi ;o)

Hello, I find the 67 Shelby Mustang GT 500 suoer I would buy immediately if I had the necessary ash… since I wanted to know if there is actually like in the movie with Nicolas Cage I forgot the title I searched around and then ben ebay landed only because of the pictures… please don’t tear me apart now I know the Ebay n risk is and so on^^ what interests me is e.g. in this car the original engine in here or have the other I guess that’s what it says but my English is a little rusty … Would you theoretically(!) think about buying this car if it wasn’t so expensive I know there’s no cheaper ^^ lg Shun who wants to have the Mustang but no money has almost forgotten…is that n real Shelby? no or? would probably be much more expensive than 100 k $?
