    Brakes advice

    Our car is an automatic. I often drive in L3 or L2 down hills. Ceramic brakes aren't going to help the situation?

    Brakes advice

    I'm not a mechanic - I don't know alot about cars. I do have a 1990 HDJ80 I bought in Spain, used in Africa for five years and now i'm living in Haiti. The problem has always been the brakes and now that we live in the mountains we really need to resolve the problem. Our current brakes are...

    Lost my turbo and only goes to 2nd gear...advice...

    New turbo and the gears started working just fine - it was in 'limp mode' as stu called it. We're shipping our car from Mauritania to Haiti in a few weeks from now, too. Thanks

    Lost my turbo and only goes to 2nd gear...advice...

    Next mechanic says that the turbo is bad - needs a new one. But would this explain why it was not shifting in D(rive)? I could get to 1 and 2 and not 3rd. I'm unsure what to know here...

    AC is not cold

    I have a 96' model 80 series which we bought in Spain and drove to Mauritania. It's hot here...HOT. But, I'm a little surprised that our AC barely works. When we were in Spain is worked incredibly well (just a couple months ago) - it barely seems to cool down now. We rarely use but today I...

    96 automatic transmission question

    Thanks for the advice. We're going to have a mechanic give an opinion tomorrow and then we'll probably make an offer.

    96 automatic transmission question

    I've always had a manual transmission on every car I've ever owned. The wife wants an automatic this time around... Tonight we looked at a really sweet 96 HDJ80 and the thing that stuck out at me is that when I go from park or neutral into reverse or drive there is a kind of thump as it...
