It heats up fine for a while (lovely hot water, so not an element problem) then throws a wobbler and pops out the reset button. Could this be because the thermostat is turned up too high, or is the thermostat likely to be broken altogether?

I know that my vehicle is in dire need of a tune up (new fuel filter and spark plugs) and I hope I don't sound too dumb when asking this question. But, does gasoline thin out a bit if your vehicle is warmer (has been running for a while)? I can feel my vehicle chugging a bit at around 70-80 kms/hr. however, my hubby hasn't seemed to experience this. Why is this?

okay, maybe my last ? wasn't specific enough. what i need to know is how do you wax a car. ster-by-step instructions. what do you do from start to finish. wash it? dry it? leave it wet? what? i am really clueless, this is my 1st car. i keep hearing things like dry it, then buff it, then polish it, and i don't really know the difference between any of these. and what exactly is "clay" ? i've heard that it works wonders on older cars. my car is a 93 thunderbird, so the paint, in some spots is wore down, but overall it is in good shape. the products i have are: turtle wax high gloss delux edition paste wax, armor all "wax-it-dry" dry gel, and a "random orbit" buffer/polisher thing i bought at sears. what should i use, how do i use it, and what is clay. remember, 1st car and i need step by step instructions please.

It is still under warranty, and at the dealership for repairs... they have had it for a week now, and say there's a problem... after three days of waiting, I googled and located a technical bulletin from Jasper, pointing out potential problems with installation of a new gear assembly for Toyota 1.5l engines, and passed it on to them... then got word back that they tried again, and it still is giving them problems... I am not a mech, but a single woman who would like to understand more about what has caused the problem and what's going on with my car... any info out there that someone can offer?

I have a 1996 Toyota Corolla and my passenger side sideview mirror broke. Its just a dummy mirror (not automatic) but it is required as I have my car inspection due. I live in NY.

I contacted the authorized dealer and he gave me a price of $170 !! Other auto-body shops also giving me the same price. I don't even use the mirror that often !!

Does anyone know where to get cheap sideview mirrors from. I tried looking at Ebay but no help.

Any comments/suggestions will be of great help.

My dashboard message center displays the above noted maintenance advisory message. The shifting mechanism that is controlled by the dash-mounted push buttons doesn't work like it should. Sometimes I have to push the buttons a few times before it actually shifts. Any ideas as to what the cause is?
