Sometimes due to the distance, I lost the power to brake. So I tried using the 2nd gear to slow down the car. (Note: I only do this with enough distance between c... 14 Jun 2010 11:49

Locked rear wheels? 2002 Corolla, rear drum brakes, no ABS. Most often, I commute on my motorcycle: faster, easier, cheaper... :) So, since last friday night above mentioned Corolla was parked in sheltered garage.

coolant system corrosion I thought I would find some issues with you here, but your points are not at all bad. "Electrolysis" is a catch-all word that people use instead of electrochemical explanations. It is not an all inclusive term. Galvanic corrosion often occurs when metals of two unlike redox potentials are connected with... 29 Jun 2010 05:19
worn bearing cause low oil pressure? I noticed low oil pressure when the revs are down. So I get out the workshop manual, and it lists among the possible causes "worn bearings". How is it so?
