    what's the meaning of this dashboard light

    on a 89 NA, further left than the temperature gauge, there's an orange error light in the middle (in terms of top or bottom). It looks something a garbage container, or something with vertical stripes. It only comes on (sometimes?) whilst my rear end is sideways, so its somewhat hard to really...

    Taillight out light on dash does not go away?

    I am by no means an authority on such, but i'm just going to throw it out there as sometimes even the best forget the easy things. Have you checked your brake fluid level? I have noticed something similar in an 90 escort, except it happens with the e-brake light (it doesn't have a...

    Steering fluid leak

    Its been to reputable shops with receipts, it can't imagine it being the nut. But i'll buy the proper size wrench. I'd laugh my ass off for days if it is the nut.

    Steering fluid leak

    Hi, My steering fluid has been leaking for a while now, and it has recently gotten worse, so much so that i could finally visually see where it was leaking from. I've attached an image of where its leaking from. According to the service records of the car, the high pressure line and also the...

    Where do you guys buy stuff for 'rebuilds'

    I have seen a lot of pictures of the rebuilds and build ups and it seems like a lot of the parts in the pictures are brand new and aren't taken off from part-out cars. Where exactly do you guys buy so much stuff without going broke? Pretty much anything you go to Lordco or Napa and they...

    Hard to get into 1st when moving

    Thanks for all the responses. I actually paid attention while driving today, and basically if i'm rolling i can't shift into first (even if revs have dropped to idle). I pretty much have to be stopped to shift into first. (and to answer the question, i was basically downshifting to first when at...

    Hard to get into 1st when moving

    I'll try those, but i suppose if its not really meant to be taken into first gear whilst moving, i'll just not do it. @ suprahooked: OMG!!! thanks so much for the link to the service manual.

    Hard to get into 1st when moving

    I never really paid attention to when i was 'trying' to shift into first, but if i had to say a number, i'd say 2000 rpm in second. (the number i'm throwing out there may not really be true, in reality it probably range from 1200 - 2500 rpm as to me the phenomenon of 'a car's first gear...

    Hard to get into 1st when moving

    i will try to find this bolt. And if someone could just touch on point 2. (i will try tomorrow, my head is still hurting from the heat today) And as evident, i am learning to drive a stick. (i've ridden a motorcycle and downshifting whilst brake (even into first) is recommended by riding...

    Hard to get into 1st when moving

    Hi, ok so i am a complete newbie, but am trying to learn about cars, that's why i bought the car, so forgive really stupid questions. Also, i will try to get my hands on a credit card so i can buy a toyota manual, which is probably going to be helpful. 1) i have a haynes manual and i can't...
