    Alternator Removal?

    First time I had to remove the three point strut brace in eight years, wasn't too bad. Tried the bottom but that wasn't happening. I guess I'll take it to be rebuilt tomorrow

    Mine has recently gotten worse, was there a follow up to the light always on question? Also is there an updated switch? For $30 I would buy that.

    How To Change Your Fuel Filter (lots of pics)

    Got the parts today and popped it in after work, I thank you again. My tip is to use large zip tie cut in half to open the high pressure fuel fittings. Just use a cut end and slide them in to pop the clips. I had replaced my Phillips screws with hex socket screws many years ago so it came apart...

    How To Change Your Fuel Filter (lots of pics)

    Great to know, always baffled by the claim of a fuel filter that lasts forever. I put in a Walbro many moons ago and replaced the screws so it "should" come out nicely. Will order these parts ASAP!

    What else to replace while replacing Timing Belt ?

    The reality of mt\y question was is it skimping? I know most of the aftermarket parts come out of China branded differently so just curious if they are cheaper or just less expensive. I have bought parts direct from China on En\bay that I have been very impressed with the quality.

    code P0300 random/mutiple cylinder misfire?

    Brake fluid is nasty stuff and it's leaves a high temp lubricant. I think it'll work well.

    code P0300 random/mutiple cylinder misfire?

    Mine was very rough all the time, started 2 days ago. I pulled the plugs and they looked OK but dropped in some fresh Denso anyway. I pulled the EGR and it was stock open. I cleaned it with brake fluid, worked the plunger in and out several times and it started snapping right back the way it...

    How To: headlight black out for P5!

    Depends on your lights, if it has a clear leans it will work. If you did it to your fog lights (which are sealed glass I believe) you would have no reflector left. Here's my tails, obviously not factory tail.

    So you want mudflaps on your Protege 5?

    I got the polyurethane universal flaps and meant to post my how to and scan/post templates etc. but I got so excited to put them on I just did it.
