One of the brake lights is out in the back.

My friend got a job in Florida (West Palm Beach) and is afraid to take
his new 530 BMW with him because "it's too hot down there". He is
afraid that the sun will bake out the plasticizers from the rubber
trim that is designed for colder German weather. What do you suggest?

I drive a Plymouth Sundance 2.5. I'm having several issues with my
temperature gauge. My car doesn't seem to actually overheat, but the

I am trying to determine the cause of a rough running 1995 Mustang GT
5.0 HO (150K miles).  The owner (who is inexperienced with engines) had
powerwashed the engine and then replaced the distributor cap, wires and
