Neighbor asked me to have a look at their 2012 Volvo XC90, as it suddenly had the "Anti-skid service required" message show up, aswell as the same message for the rear parking sensors. Only fault-code I could find related to this was a communication failure with the DEM (differential electronic module). After some googling I found people having had the same issue, with the culprit being the rear electronic module (essentially just a glorified fusebox). After some multimetering I found that there indeed is no power to the fuses going to the DEM & rear parking sensors. With the module itself being damned expensive & the fuses having constant power I opted to put a fuse jumper in each of the two and connect those straight to the positive point going into the module. The anti-skid & parking sensors now work fine, but I expect further failure of the rear module at some later point>>27629297>1000 for a shade-tree brake job & oil changeHell, for the owners sake I hope that then includes pads, rotors, complete bleeding, and oil + filter
>>27629846>With the module itself being damned expensivedisregard this I suck dicks
>>27629846Pads, new fluid, tire rotation and maybe rotors depending on their condition. Oil, filter, air and cabin filters and checking over the basics.
>>27626945Silicone is nice. Flexible, lasts a long ass time, stretchy and seals well, resists lots of chemicals. I mean rubber has worked ok for automotive, but so many other applications, silicone is preferable to rubbers and other plastics and it’s always a cost thing, like the cheaper models have some PVC crap and the premium uses silicone.
>>27628973>I went to take the front end off an old f350 at the scrapper, 27mm lug nut crossthreaded. Next!There are many ways to slay a nut and you can leave the wheel attached (I have) for later slaying at home or even in the parking lot.I keep a Ken-Tool lug wrench and a long cheater pipe for jobs like that and would bring it next trip if needed to snap the stud. If they don't allow angle grinders drilling the joint between lug and stud then splitting with a chisel (I weld handles to mine) is one of many options. I also have a small oxy-acetylene torch set I use to shorten surplus steel to fit my trailer and those easily was off lug nuts.Self and bro use a garden wagon for salvage runs and pack it with just the gear we expect to need and hide additional gear in his Suburban.Keep an eye out for long straight pitman arms as they make great striking wrenches if you weld an impact adapter to them. I shove an extension into the adapter to hold the wrench straight and keep my hand out of danger then use a hand sledge (or my bro with a larger sledge).

>>27630861>Royal Enfield and a BMW.got it thanks,
>>27630858>loreAre you 16?
>>27630853> CB500XThis one also feels bigger than necessary. It isn't even warranted by the engine size, I believe CB500X could easily be made slimmer and lower without sacrificing much of its performance.Typing this I realize that I'm really not into ADV bikes, I'm into scramblers derived from ADV bikes, just like my slr or poo scram.
>>27630869ADVs are just what scramblers evolved into
>>27630879Yes, I want ADVs to devolve. It isn't supposed to make sense, but it is my preference.
does anything come close to it?
>>27627674>>27627687Betting that the transaxle is the weak point
>>27627672>doesn't cost £900k for an engine rebuild.it costs 750k annually to maintain the car, so idk if that's any better
>>27627550why does it have to be one or the other? i think of hypercars as simply closing the gap better than a supercar.
>>27626799
>>27630875too bad the boomer who made it won't ever make the car prove itself on a track cause he's too scared of getting BTFO by ancient pushrod cars.pic related has none of the fancy material and would still hand that car its ass for a fraction of the cost.
QTDDTOT because there isn't one and because this is a stupid question:6.9 lbf ft - yes it's the workshop manual, but this won't crack the battery casing right ? Feels like this thing just keeps spinning but I guess it's compressing the little pad the battery is sitting on until it can't. Or should I shoot for a little less.
>>27629217I don't see how it would be your fan clutch. Your engine shouldn't stall regardless. The RPM drop is probably just due to the same condition -- lack of power at idle.
>>27629217Is your idle rpm the same as usual ?I've had one of my project cars have a tendency to dip way too low when stopping. My problem iirc was coils but it could be a lot of things .
>>27630190Idle RPM and acceleration from a stop was normal.
>>27628775I want to renew and protect my 91 jeep cherokee, standard transmission 6 cyl 4.0. I bought it used at 115k or so miles and immediately had a garage I respect do a coolant system inspection/then flush and got G-05 coolant in there. Got the oil changed. The water pump according to maintenance records was replaced at 90k miles and before I got it the thing was lovingly cared for by an old man, I bought it from his son who had planned to lift it but didn't have time anymore. I do take it through rough logging roads and over fallen trees now and then but it's only got light offroading duty, I don't intend to lift it. I would like to make a checklist of things to replace or renew that might need to be done sooner than later. So far I've replaced the plugs, wires and distributor cap, sway bar bushings, sway bar link bushings, the aforementioned coolant and the oil change. I've got the supplies for brakes as the next job and I'd like to get to the shocks next. I'm a wrenchlet, everything I've done so far is based entirely off youtube tutorials. I haven't had any major fuckups aside from stripping one of the sway bar holes and having to tap a bigger hole and put a bigger bolt in there. My questions are 1, what would be the best things to do first for vehicle longevity? and 2, which jobs should I not attempt to undertake on my own? What jobs is it more likely than not as an uneducated mechanic that I'd do irreparable or grievous damage to it? Thanks.
Anyone know that website where you can look up cars and it'll give you things like its specs and track times? It's a pretty big database, too.
Why doesn't Aston ever make any money? Everyone agrees their cars are spectacular, how come they can't turn a profit like Ferrari and Porsche can?
>>27630588>Ferrari does a lot more than any of their competitors, Not true. Trim? Outsourced. Transmissions? Outsourced. Electrical systems? Outsourced?
>>27630822The trim isn't, yeah a lot of the electrical is Bosch/Marelli but that's true of every manufacturer other than Tesla. I was only comparing to their competitors anyway, none of them make transmissions (maybe some Koenigseggs).
>>27630222that sounds really, really retarded.
>>27630854I don't think Ferrari has a trimshop in the same way Aston does. And Aston makes its twin-turbo V12.
>>27630868Ferrari even made Maseratis trim in that era: source, I worked on both ~10 years ago, and all of the trim famously failed (sticky interior). The plastics have the cavallino on them.
Ford should make a luxury Mustang to compete with Cadillac, Audi, BMW, Lexus, etc...Call it the Lincoln Cougar or something
>>27630466Debatable. Sounds like crap unless all you can hear is the intake. Rally cars do not have to sound like crap.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ic4AYGKqn1c
>>27630317All cars should be named after dangerous animals or natural disasters.
>>27630144I liked Probes; but it was a terrible name. The swoopy streamlined styling could make a comeback but I'd rather they call it a Falcon, that used to be their baby Mustang back in the 60s.
>>27629672Lincoln has done three concepts of exactly that, which tells me it's something they want to do, but Ford has always shot it down in the end. I'm curious how long the brand has. Lincoln is incredibly starved of any new products at all.
>>27630835i like probes and thats why id rather they just leave the name alone especially if it would be attached to another generic nucar probably without pop ups.

>>27630525>>27630830In fact, here's a picture of the Vantage production team. You can play "spot the Indian" but you won't get a particularly high score
Privately owned retired race cars. Would you entertain the idea of having one in your ownership? Most were fairly abused during their lives. And require low-volume parts and constant contact with former team members to keep them alive.Pic related, its hers and not yours.
>>27630729I would if I cared. Wrenching is easily solved and no one who isn't a mechanic can legitimately call themselves an enthusiast because that includes knowing how things work.Of course I'd retrofit heat and AC and sound deadening, which is also not hard, if I intended to drive it seriously. I'd also detune the engine for better street manners.
>>27630765>you can get a useless tube frame roller with an engine that lasts 10 minutes for £30k wow master of investments
>>27630729Technology has a cost. Simplify and add lightness.
>>27630729I've bought 3 so far (e30m3, e46m3, 964)unironically better maintained than street counterparts - the 'abuse' is typically 5x 20min track sessions a dozen times a yeareasy to retrofit back to street spec - especially from classes that allow a bolt in cageoften 2x cheaper than an equivalent street car (often come with spares/etc you can resell)

what is the obsession in the car community about lowering your car ?i am against it.it just feels stupid like, more dangerous. and less serious. like some kind of stupid joke cause you are real low to the ground. i dont get it. i was just in a real low honda the other day and i was like this is just dumb.
>>27630703you dont post anything but dogshit you flaming cunt
I find it strange that a thread about lowered suspension is hit with nearly the same amount of retarded forced irritating troll bullshit as a political thread >muh lane switching rycerrr its like they want to make it as unusable as possible wherever you are>>27630768just kill yourself loser
