    Can I Tighten Driver Side Car Door Stay Check Strap?

    The front driver side door is loose on my 2005 Toyota Corolla CE. Instead of locking in place, I have to use a leg to prop door when getting out. Has anybody successfully tightened the bolts/screws? Thanks for the suggestions.

    Well, it's been a couple of weeks with the new fuel injectors. Check engine light "off" but came back briefly eight days later for a few hours. Car has new burst of energy and smoothly shifts gears. The one disappointment is fuel economy. Have not seen any uptick in MPG.

    Are Hybrids(Toyota, Honda) Good for Retired Drivers?

    After reading replies I realized the key component is the battery cells. Glad to hear whole battery may not be needed. Replace one or two cells could do the trick. A friend who commutes daily with his Prius told me about a repair shop that exclusively services hybrids told him hybrids make...

    DIY Radio Install Gone Bad...Can it be Saved?

    Hi 68 Custom and all. This is the connector part(pin) from the factory radio antenna. The wire coming out of connector pin (about 1") remains firmly attached to it. I believe it broke off because my friend assisting me pulled wire instead of pinching metal clips. Wondering if wire can be...
