Hello! I've been viewing this site regularly since I picked up my 02 LX earlier this year, but the time has come that I need to reach out and get some help from the people that know these best. Over the past month the motor has been getting a bit louder at idle, the noise was a bit like a...

Andrea asked me last night how long I have been on MUD for when we were talking about social media with friends over a drink. While I knew the month and year since it tells us all under our avatar I couldn't remember what my first post was when she asked. So I looked it up. Technically I had...
