    Replacing coolant hose from head to ISCV

    I think I have found my leak, but how in the world do you get to it? I have removed the alternator and can almost get my hand on the top portion but am having trouble reaching the bottom section.

    tail light failure box

    Can a tail light failure box from a 90 turbo be used in a 87 turbo without it burning it up? I've narrowed it down to the box in my 87, but I would like to check it with a good box just to be sure. I have a 90 but I do not want to use it if it will burn it up obviously. Thanks, John

The problem started today, whenever I press the power locks, the car will lock then unlock. same goes when I use my keyless remote, the...
