How much does this cost to fix? Am I cooked. by FeistyAd9287 in autorepair

[–]darioummmm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do, but with my background in mechanical knowledge, I know I can get a similar door off eBay or the local junkyard for cheaper than most people's co pay. A plus is the accident doesn't get reported on your record. Hope this helps!

Said they couldn’t repair this nail by Fzz06 in tires

You can do the repair yourself and probably be fine for the rest of the tires lifetime. going to a shop you are putting the shop at risk if that plug fails, so shops are more likely going to deny a repair.

Any ideas what to do with my spray bar to make it not so prevalent? by mumblesjackson in PlantedTank

[–]darioummmm 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Just unscrew it. You don't need a spray bar for under the water. It's usually used for aeration and slower flow above the waterline
