My $.02:
Old xB - so ugly it's cute.
New xB - so ugly.
It's not much different but there's something about it that I just don't

I was reading about a lockpick - to unlock the functions on the nav so a
passenger can program a route or I can dial a bluetooth call.
they have 2 models - one is to play dvd - my owners manual does not mention
dvd - is there a way to play movies for the kids?

I noticed its leaking into the cab when the brake peddle is
depressed. I'm wondering if anyone has an idea of repairing the thing.
I know I can buy a new one and there is no repair kit but I have acess
to all sorts of material and tools. Is it just a rubber seal or ?

We drove up from North Carolina to Massachusetts today (we will never go
through the damned Bronx again!)
My AC cut out for most of the trip (not fun).  So I turned it off and opened
the windows (Jersey smells just lovely...)

Not sure if I'm low om freon or my cooling is on the fritz. When I
turn it on  it blows some cool air for about 30 second and then  the
AC light starts to blink. Turning it off and on doesn't help. And at
this point there's no cooling any longer, just hot air blowing. I've

turned on the key
The book says check the gas tank and cap which I did  and if that

Can anyone tell me the approximate maximum cargo capacity of the original
Scion xB?
I've got a load of boxes-about 30 cu ft-would that fit.
Thanks for any info.

I have just bought a 2000 Estima X  V6
I don't have the handbook for it and wondered if anyone knows which
octane of petrol to use in it?  91, 95, 98?
Thanks,

Hey PPPL,
How hard is it to change a water pump on a 94 corolla.  Well first of
all.. Why would a good running corolla over heatonly at freeway
speeds? Sitting in the driveway with the AC on its perfect.... But

When we bought our 2006 Corolla LE, we were told the model had a 180 hp
engine. Looking at the Toyota home site recently, the "S" is listed with
the same engine as the CE and LE. IS the 180hp engine gone or is it now
an option?

My 2000 Sienna wouldn't start today.  It just made a whirring noise
when I turned the key.  I figured it was the battery since it was a
cheap two-year free warranty battery and it was two-and-a-half year old
battery now.  I had to get a jump start from the neighbor, but not

I have an '85 Celica with a busted A40D.
I have the rebuild kit already and the ATSG  manual to fix it.   I
don't have the special service tools though.  Has anyone (reading this
newsgroup) purchased these to do this rebuild?  Are they outrageously

We have a 1998 Avalon which we love, about 125,000 miles.  It has
pretty much been flawless until the past 2-3 months.  It has developed
an intermittent starting problem....usually on the first start of the
day or after it has been sitting for several hours.

...for some people.  Let me give you some examples.
    1)  Driving on a single lane, 45-mph road, the car in front
varies his speed from 45 to 50 then down to 40 and up again with no
reasons at all for him to fluctuate.

Recently, when the AC runs it makes a grinding noise.  The Van has 67K miles
on it and these are 90% easy driving highway miles.  I know this is not
good.  I also know it is out of warranty.  I am also aware that this is
becoming an issue on the internet, as I found information ...
