Anyone know of an online database of DTC (check engine) codes and their fixes? by Dean
Looking for some database of the codes with a series of mesages or data on what the eventual fix was. Rather than just a list of codes and their meaning. A book would also be great. I have a lexus and land rover and am not interested in the USA-only readers and data. Thanks! Dean

Rear window de-fogger . by J J
1987 Lincoln Town Car. Last year my rear window de-fogger (wires in glass) worked fine. This year only the bottom half works. What can I do to fix it? I don't want to put in a new rear window just for that. The rear window was already replaced once just to get defogger to work.

Smart car... Remove passenger seat? by Noozer
Just wondering how difficult it is to remove and install the passenger seat in a Smart car... If done right, it could be very handy to be able to snap it in and out given the limited space in one of these cars.

It goes in a U...
