LOL... I figured this would be a good place, but then I thought that there wouldn't be too many ppl in my area. I figured that most ppl would be too far, and that I would have to ship, which would probably jack up the price to a point where no one would be willing ot buy it. I guess I was...

Thanks for ALL the responses. I'm not sure what the problem was, but it started leaking antifreeze and made a really nasty noise. He said it's something mechanical that broke within. BOOST...How much would you charge?? I think I just may part it out. But, where would I find ppl to sell...

Hi. I have an 02 Protege5 w/ 120K miles. It's a manual transmission, and live in New Jersey. My engine is messed up and I have to replace it, which will cost me $1650 w/ labor. I have someone who offered me $850 for the car as is.. What do you think I should do?? SHould I replace the engine...

CASH-Thanks, I'll try protegegarage.com Rob_-My mechanic said he may be able to do for $1200 w/ engine. He said if i could find my own he'll charge me $600 to replace it. I'll try and look locally though. Passadena--- I know what you're saying. The timing really sucks because I was planning...

Hi. I have an 02 P5. Manual transmission. I need to replace the engine but don't know where to find one. I will be selling it as soon as I get it fixedd. Can you give me some advice as to where to buy one, or what exactly I should search? Thanks.

OK. Thanks a lot Bgibb... you helped a lot.

Yea it was extra tight. My big bro was jumping on the wrench and it wouldn't budge. I don't have a breaker bar, I really need to invest in 1 (along with some good vice grips) but I'll try and stick a pipe in the end of the wrench. I did bleed the Rear driver side though (the side I changed...

I didn't bleed the brake that i replaced the caliper on because i was going to do it in the proper order, but couldn't. I'm going to go back and bleed the problem brake. Hopefully that'll help, but any suggestions are still welcome

I took it to the mechanic and he said it was my rear brake caliper. There was a lot of fluid dripping from it. I've never done it before, but i replaced the caliper, hopefully correctly. I didn't bleed the brakes yet, I tried real hard but couldn't get the lugnuts off the 1st tire i have...

Yeah. Basically what i figured. Thanks.. I think i'm just gonna have to have a mechanic look for it.

I'ma just try the 2 person method. This wouldn't solve the leaking problem thought right? Just get any air that may be trapped. I drove for about 1 1/2 hrs and my fluid level did drop. I'm just not sure how to figure out where it's from. It barely leaks when i'm parked (even when i pump...

I forgot about that. thats a good point I did it for about 20 minutes (brake pedal, not clutch). The only thing i saw was a little fluid under the master cylinder (i guess that's what it is, where you pour the fluid), but i think it may have been left over from when i spilled some fluid last...

Stick. I'll be sure to do that.

i went to the place with the free brake check and they said my pads and everything were fine. THis was before I had any problem, other than the noise from what i think is the rotors. I've never bled/ changed fluid, which I will do. I was actually already looking at the how to's, but never did...

sorry, i should have been more clear. I changed my brake pads, that's it. And that was more than a few months ago, and I haven't had any braking problems until now. I've replaced both front and rear pads before with no problems. I have a problem with my shocks or struts, or something in my...

Hi, I have an 02 P5. Basically don't have experience, but am pretty good at doing DIY's so your advice is appreciated. I have changed my brakes, but i'm fairly certain i did it properly. My E-brake light came on. I checked the fluid, and it was at the MIN level so i refilled it. The next day...

Nevermind, i got it. Idk what the problem was. I think i was just frustrated and freezing and it was too dark. Got it off no problem yest. thanks though

No, not the black ones on the plastic cover around the tire (mudguards?). When you get under the mudguards (i think that's what they are) the 2 bolts inside that are the difficult bolts. THis is the order from bottom up: 1st is bolt, then the bumper, the car's frame or whatever, then on top...

Hi. I'm trying to black out my headlights and i read just about every thing on the forums about removing the bumper but i can't do it. I know what bolts to remove and everything, but i just can't get 4 of them off. The 2 on each side that are inside the fender. Is there a trick in removing...

problem solved. i finaloly got it off by ripping the old relay out of its housing. i appreciate the help
