    2003 Protege5 Brake Rotor Loose?

    Rotors are held by lug nuts if you remove the lug nuts, its held by rust/dirt/whatever, but a few bangs will loosen it. There is no other screw that holds in in place. When you replaced the brake pads, did you install the brake hardware back properly?

    FOG LAMP not working

    Check the wiring. I would replace the back portion, if posible, and clean and keep the glass. Replacing just the bulb wont do much, as water will get into it, and most likely kill the bulb again.

    Considering a 2008 model, what to watch out for?

    I am considering a 2008 model, with just over 25,000 odo on it. One owner, who is moving and needs it to go. The steering recall has NOT been performed on it, yet. They are asking $14K for it. Fair? Too much? Major problem areas with that year? Thanks
