[email protected]
I have a 1993 Volvo 240 Wagon. I tried to save some money by replacing
the alternator myself when the old one started acting up (battery
wouldn't charge any more, battery light glowing faintly). But now that
I've installed the new one it seems that I can't figure out how to get
the wires on...

[email protected]
I had I massive transmission leak today. I was going up a mountain
pass about 3500 ft. Tranmission just sprung a good leak and drained

carburetor,...

After sitting parked for a week, the a/c on my '93 infiniti g20 is
completely dead. It blows warm. The high and low pressure lines are

Question for dealership auto techs by
CraigFL[_1_]
I would guess that in most places it would be illegal for the employer
to collect this from the employee unless the "employee" was an
independant contractor(in which case there would probably be a legal
