I need a new gas cap. How do I deal with the existing tether? Cut it or should I take out the screws that I see on the shield/housing so the tether will come loose? 2002 Buick Century

I don't know if this is technical or not, but.... On a car like a 2000 Toyota Camry Solara, with leather seats, how much of the seats are leather? Just the tops of the seats and fronts of the backs? Just the front seats, not the rear seats? It seems that different products are best to...

I just bought a new used car and the antifreeze is red. IIRC, that's a slightly more expensive kind of antifreeze, and I'd like to use the same thing if I have to add any or when I change coolant, which only gets half the coolant iirc. I don't want a blend of red and green because it's not...

What is the advantage of ATM low-profile fuses over ATM non-low-profile? In situations where there is room for the bigger ones. My Toyota uses low profile mini ATM (?) fuses more than any other kind, maybe 30 of them, with a plastic wall around them so that only an esepcially narrow fuse...

I'm running out of ideas here... I have a '93 F-150, extended cab, 2WD, 300/E4OD that I bought used with about 120K miles on it. It currently has about 140K. When I bought it I knew that it had a few issues that needed to be addressed, most notably tires out of balance and bad shocks, but...

We have an '04 Cav. The vent control cable is kinked. Googling, I find (a) this happens a lot, (b) standard labor is 0.9 hrs (ie, not a big deal), but (c) no specific instructions on how to do it. The cable jacket has a tab on each end, with a hole through the tab. At the vent door end, there...

I recently had to rebuild my 1976 corvette SBC engine since the camshaft was badly worn on it. After a few challenges (since I am just a weekend mechanic pushed into service when I cannot avoid it), I did manage to rebuild it and get the engine back in. It seems to run fine pending a bit of a...
