It's timing belt change time! I've seen the 2x4 strapped to a breaker bar and bump the starter method which I personally find too much excitement for my fragile nervous system :p so I was wondering if, with my manual transmission in first gear, the parking brake on, and the wheels chocked, would...

I have a leak in a power steering hose, part MB501471, a metal tube actually, which seems to be a very difficult part to find. Looking very closely at it, there is a section of rubber hose at each end that is attached using a hose spring clip (not even a hose clamp), which would lead me to...

Back in June a tree came down in a windstorm and… all 3 windshields… The one you want to hear about: I sourced new glass in Quebec City, 5 hours from here, and a parts van in Drummondville, between here and there. Windshield, rubber and a mirror (notice it is not there?), $1200 CAD, ouch, and...

My driver’s side front tire is wearing unevenly, again. This was the case with the tires that came with the van so I had an alignment done, providing the shop with the specs from the manual, after installing new tires. The new set wore the same way after a year so, again, had an alignment done...

Driving home today, raining, but not torrential and no big puddles. Turn onto my street and the van dies. No dash warning lights but the dash illumination lights (and I assume headlights) stayed on. Turned the key to try to start it and nothing. No dash lights. No click. But still the dash...

I’ll just leave this here...;)

Does this look excessive?

Last year I reworked the steering wheel. I posted it on the Canadian site but though y'all might like to see it, too (yes, I am an attention whore!) The wood is Ipe with a stripe of Maple.

My 4WD indicator lamp decided to stay on all the time, even when I'm in 2WD. I've never had this problem before, only the opposite. I've re-attached the wires a few times but I'd like to remove the switches to test them / see if I can fix them on the bench (before I start tracing wires to find a...

Three times over the last month I have turned the key and nothing. And I mean NOTHING. No dash lights, no click. The interior light is on though. I found by accident that if I let the van roll backwards (my driveway has a slope) a little bit, it resolves and the van starts like normal. I'm...

Greetings from the Great White North. I drive a ‘91 L300 Starwagon named Wilson. Turbo Diesel, RHD. Just turned over 190000 kms. Runs great!!!
