Once upon a time, years ago, some idiot decided to jack up the car at the wrong lift point (no comment, the idiot lifts by the correct lift points in the center of the car now). I have ignored the issue for years, but now there is a crack in the paint whereas it use to be just bubbling. Don't...

Hi! My right hand side indicators are all stuck on and not blinking. This is only once the car is started, if just the ignition is turned on then the indicators work normally. This is a bizarre fault to me, any ideas?

Hi all, Unfortunately last week I hit the back of an '04 Audi A4 wagon. My bumper was higher than his so I basically caved in his trunk enough to jam it shut. Windshield did not shatter/crack and airbags didn't go off. My XLE has very minor cosmetic damage to the front but I noticed some...

Hi all, I’m looking for some advice. I park my RAV4 outside in our driveway (soon to start parking in our garage) and a squirrel/chipmunk has managed to chew through the windshield washer fluid line running from the fluid tank up to the hood dispensers.

I've got a 1998 4D RAV4 that I've owned for a few months now and for that whole time I haven't been able to unlock the driver's door with the key. If I try to the key just doesn't turn. It still locks fine and the interior power locks still work fine. To unlock the car I have to use the...

Hi all, Just finished replacing my power steering pump on my '98 Rav4 so I thought I'd do a quick summary of what it took to do the job (relatively) painlessly 1. Put the front end up on jack stands 2. Remove both front wheels 3. Remove RH and LH engine covers 4. Disconnect the stabilizer bar...
