Due to a change of plan I will now take care of the repair and upgrade for the 1937 ́er Chevy Pickup. So far I have only gained experience to upgrade an Opel GT reimport which was relatively easy because you could rely on original components. What is to be taken into account when upgrading, I have the lighting and the speedometer on the screen – what else is there and what is the best solution to upgrade the speedometer ? Thank you !

Ford V8 Unbalance/vibrations
Hola! I have a problem with my vehicle. And that happens with about 80 km of vibrations, or unbalance… On the steering wheel you don’t notice anything but the instruments “hands” wobble. In the stand when I give gas you notice also an imbalance. Yesterday I tried to start the engine and also noticed an imbalance when starting…Motor didn’t jump right on because he has stood for a long time. I thought it could be the converter or the starter wreath…but if he had been unbalanced when starting already t? For information I have a Ford V8 7.5l 460 Built 71. The engine has been overhauled all parts new only the block is old! Camshaft “Edelbrock” approx. 3000km only down. Possibly someone has an idea?

Honda Vision 110 – does any major maintenance have to be half a total damage??
Hello, so far I have always praised my scooter (EZ 2012, 18 TKM) for its reliability and its low costs here. Today a bigger invoice was due, 430 € for a set of new tyres including assembly and a small inspection. To make the HU, it is said that the steering head bearing has to be re-made, which is supposed to cost another 280 €. All this at a Honda brand workshop. So far, I am afraid to “free” myself with half as high hourly rates. I also have developed a weakness for the idea of “sustainable driving”, in which one drives a vehicle as long as it is still good and accepts the costs of maintenance and, if necessary, repairs. I still love the scooter, in the city you can easily get there with the engine power, the handling is still great, etc. etc., etc. I still love the scooter, in the city you can easily get there with the engine power, the handling is still great, etc. etc. But if my vision, which once cost € 1,850 new and is now perhaps worth € 1,200, then the now due € 710 are quite happy. And the maintenance intervals of only 4,000 km also go quite nicely into the money. In other words: Is there from your point of view for a non-selber screwdriver (in Berlin, btw) a reasonable alternative to the brand workshop? Or should I buy again a new car, in which the first years (foreignly) Is the Commission aware of the fact that it is not in the interests of the Member States that it is not in the interests of the Member States.

My scooter squab from Peugeot loses oil
Hello, I’m new here and would be very pleased if you can help me. My scooter, 50 Kubik Squab from Peugeot Lost oil. I asked a dealer and he totally discouraged me because he said that the Simmerrings have to be replaced and that would be so expensive that I didn’t pay for the repair. He gave this error diagnosis but only on my description. I send you a few photos with where you can see clearly where the oil drips. I am very grateful for every help. ar da the scooter otherwise runs impeccable I would like to drive it further but of course only if he no longer loses oil.

New purchase with payment used cars without separate contract and liability for material defects
Hello together, I hope it is the right forum for this topic. My mother bought or ordered a new vehicle in March 2022 (before price increase in April) and agreed on cash payment. Likewise, it was stated in the purchase contract that a used car will be taken into payment (purchase report by Schwacke was prepared by the dealer, but without information about pre-damage (not known) – however, this damage was named upon purchase. After the car now at the beginning of December (Unverbin However, there was the information from the dealership that some components will be missing (e.g. foot sensor for electric tailgate and large sound system) Acceptance of the dealer/honda: 0 – no cent discount, with the indication that my mother can gladly withdraw from the purchase contract and the dealer can resell the car for more directly. Apart from that, my mother would like to have the car absolutely. The biggest problem however is consequence ndes: Since the (purchase/sale) contract includes both the purchase of the new Honda as well as the purchase of the used car, (“performance in performance instead of” § 364 BGB) (problematic for the consumer, however, the liability rule of § 365 BGB, according to which the consumer must be liable exactly as with a normal purchase contract) no liability for material defects for the used car was excluded. According to new law: If something is broken on the vehicle in the next 6 months, the seller must have In response, my mother asked the dealer whether she could sell the Opel privately. This was denied, either resignation from the complete purchase contract (including purchase of the used car) or fulfilment of the purchase contract including purchase of the used car. Which possibilities exist now first: Take new cars and hope that nothing will be destroyed by the Opel for the next 6 months (if the 6 months of liability of the private seller ever come to bear or resign from m Purchase contract, thus of course no new car, but no risk of liability Thank you in advance and many greetings

Selling defective vehicle – unsavory offers
Hello dear car friends, I want to sell my Seat Toledo (Diesel) because the clutch has to be replaced and I can’t afford the repair at the moment. So I set the car on eBay and jerkzuck I had 40, 50 requests from people who want to buy the car for a four-digit amount for export. The Seat has over 200,000km and comparable, working vehicles you get already for a low four-digit amount. That sounds really too good to be true Thank you in advance!

Sandero ignition problems
Hello, something new (at least for me) Strange error, already researched, but found nothing. I stop, turn off ignition (pull off the key) and the part continues to run. So I get it out: 2.speed in, brake kick, clutch comes, the car chokes off and ignition is also off. I also noticed how I can get the car out: I park, it runs in idle, hand brake tightens. Now I step clutch and brake at the same time, then it goes off s. Why this works is a mystery to me. So far I had not seen any connection of the electrics with clutch or brake (except brake light). Also as an old speaker I am now at the end with my Latin. Who has a tip with which to start. To stop in the long run is a bit annoying 🙁 Greeting from the helpless, who hopes for enlightenment.

Sandero battery after less than 3 years of total failure
High, something great happened to us today. Into the parking garage, Sandero EZ 01/ 2013, parked, after 2 hours of Christmas shopping back, Sandero no longer gives any sound of itself. Battery total failure, although no consumers let on, car was “hidden” from the parking garage and towed to the Renault dealer. Diagnosis: – We already know, cheap Turkish battery, is totally defective – we build a new one, but we have to order first Positive is to be noted: The Dacia Assistance has good fun After 30 minutes a local towing service was on site and transported the car free of charge to the Renault dealer as part of the mobility guarantee. Now a Renault battery is installed free of charge. A replacement car was offered. To the car data: Dacia Sandero Stepway EZ 01 / 2013 1.6 Ltr engine capacity, 62 KW petrol Km -Stand: 23500 I hope it is spared to you, but it is not excluded. MfG H.S.

Mercedes new car for winter sealing and for summer wax
Hello people, on 03.08.2011 it was time, we ordered the first correct car – a Mercedes C 220 CDI We would like to drive the car at least 7 years and therefore from the beginning properly care. Since I am a newcomer in the manual car care after the reading of the FAQ still a few questions remained open. Basically to the car: MB C 220 CDI Uni black. The car should not see a washing system from the inside. Car should be washed by hand – maximum by lance in the washing box. Order list is a “watch” at the standard equipment – can someone tell me exactly what that is? My dealer unfortunately didn’t know that exactly…. The car should come in October. Basically I want to take care of the MB with wax. After long considerations I thought that maybe for the winter a seal would be the better choice. E.g. Chemical Guys – Jetseal 109 I would proceed like this: – Pick up the car from the dealer – Drive home (approx. 10KM) -The car with e.g. Dodo Juice Wash Lime Prime lite – Seal – Clean over the winter with high pressure cleaner and/or dry linen – Wash the car properly next spring and then grow for the summer (e.g.Dodo Juice Blue Velevet)Long speech short sense, is it meaningful to seal the car in the winter and grow in the summer or is it completely insane?My goal would be maximum protection in the winter and compromise between shine and protection in the summer. Second question – is it worth the effort or is the “guarding” ” from the Mercedes plant so good that it is better I leave everything as it is and clean the car with lance and/or dry linen over the winter and start with the care in the spring? Thanks already to the really great forum! Greeting Hannes Ps.: I haven’t filled out the questionnaire yet – should you do it easier when answering of course I still do it. Pps.: I know – it’s still a little early because he should come only in October – but what should I be waiting for because otherwise make

Details: Necessary or excessive hype ?
Hello, Today I have used for the first time a detailer after the laundry, namely the Chemical Guys Pro/P40 detailer. Maybe I am not fetishist enough or do not have the look for it, But the promised multigloss I could not notice. Is the goal of this detailer the gloss increase or the refresher of the wax ? I have Collinite 476 on it, 1 week old. I sprayed the detailer on the varnish after drying and polished with an MFT. if it serves to refresh the wax, then I prefer to grow the car every 4-8 weeks. I for my part empty the bottle and will probably not use any more. What does your ? Necessary finish or a lot of wind for little effect ? By the way ixh have used today also a sample of the Surf City Garage Shampoo … Also disappointing, no foam and has flooded zero, there are The cHemical Guys Shampoos cooler. Gruss E.
