Diesel Hero.. headlight detaches as a hand held light, motor powers a electric generator when you park!

LOL !

note, when you grease the middle zirk on the DS you'll want the axle in (if rear wheel off) or the shaft will expand lengthwise and you won't get the axle lined up until you remove the zirk fitting a let some grease out..

did you get it?

that's Ok cause the seat doesn't look very comfy.

is everything running good now?

mounted yet, pics? and video please

I could do that work in under 3 hours..If I don't stop for Latte... longest part being the brake and clutch fluid purge. and I'd check the TPS setting while at it.. you too could do all that stuff yourself.. being in NY I bet you got the hose job.. 6-7 hours labor? If your dealer charged 2 hours labor- keep him!

tell me about it, RIP my VW Golf (well over 100k).. and wife's Saturn. (78,000 miles warranty just ran out) .both had chains not timing belts.. owners/service manual said nothing about replacing them.. my current beater Toyota has a non interference motor, waiting for that belt to pop next..

they stretch before they wear..

Wait, what? your selling her ?

turning over 100,000 miles? I'd treat her to some fresh bought store product of what the book calls for..

OK, I might be remembering my Bassa latch.. sorry..

I think the latch mount has slotted holes so it can be raised in height, maybe you just need to line it up closer?
