Just got a phone call. Someone's brake release broke. The cable came loose at the unseen far end. The main thing is to undo the brake and drive the car back to the garage. A brief google search came up with nothing. Any idea of whether there is a pawl under the hood I can poke with a stick? Nils...

Can I purchase a caster/camber guage and do my own alignment at home? I have a 1990 mustang, 2007 escape and a 2013 silverado.

i looked at a mini yesterday - stunned to find this thing has two serious parking/emergency/hand brake issues: 1. the brake cable wasn't connected to one of the rear caliper lever arms - apparently it's been like this since new since the brakes have never been touched and there was no evidence...

I noticed in two different cars that the airflow sensor was missing the honeycomb mesh guard that is used to promote laminar flow across the wires. What is the effect of this? I presume the mixture would be too rich or lean, but then the ECU would monitor the exhaust oxygen sensor and would...
