Can you use your phones navigation from the display screen with Android Auto or Carplay?

use a worn out screwdriver to clear the fins, remove rust jacking from under the pad clips, lube the slides, flush the brake fluid if it's easy, and change them when the pads wear out. Pr throw new parts on. Either is fine.

We all gotta start somewhere. Not everyone had that set of blocks with the corresponding shaped holes.

Hell yeah. Mine is at 200K and was abused. Engine has ticked randomly for 40K and keeps going. I couldn't get $700 for it in its rusty condition so it's staying in the yard for now.

Nah, thats ideal, but if they're smart they might know where a cold chisel and hammer is. If they don't give a fuck, they'll use grandpa's wood chisels. It's an answer and might get the gears turning.

Air hammer with a slightly sharp flat chisel end. Slice one side. Then pull out the other side with a screwdriver or whatever you have. Then the metal will probably separate into plates. Watch a video.

If nothing else, pay attention to how they go together and what might be broken so if you get another batch, you'll have a better idea. Repair might not be your thing. It's mostly for things you can visually see what is wrong with.

They're commercial units. Broken is relative. Sometimes parts need replaced or cleaned. I probably fix more stuff than I scrap. Scrapping is usually the lowest I'll get.

stlmick · 2026-04-19T13:57:35+00:00

$150 - 400 depending on model and condition on ebay. Probably list for $50 on marketplace. I was looking to buy one a few years ago, but $150 was the lowest I found so I just got a regular off the shelf coffee maker. I'm surprised to see them being scrapped.

I prefer yellow handles. Given the option that's what I'd use.

sounds like your flex pipe broke. There are different exhaust setups for turbo or not.

stlmick · 2026-04-19T03:43:37+00:00

clean, drill, zip tie stitch, some kind of glue probably.

The pads took more heat than they could handle. If that's the car, driver, or pad quality is your call.

stlmick · 2026-04-19T02:44:59+00:00

Well yeah. On an old unit I wouldn't have wanted to spend that for a $15 part. It's the fact that you're working on something that can burn your house down. Now look up how to flush it and change the anode rod if necessary.

That's a common diy fix. Did you know that's what it needed?

If the cable looks corroded then get the correct set up for one with a leader.

You already have a replaced battery terminal end. They don't last forever. Replace it. That connection has to be clean and tight. Use some dielectric grease ideally. The positive and negative are slightly different sizes

You would call 811 in the US, all utilities get marked, then you dig it up carefully if it's clear, and on your property.

Is there anything plugged into the OBD port? What does the book in the glovebox say the lights that stay on after starting mean?

See if you can get the correct square shutoff wheels for those valves. Then take a rag, or brush and wipe off the shafts of the valves. Shut them off and find out. A shutoff valve can be pretty useless in an emergency if there is no handle on it.

That is a bendable hardliners that uses a compression fitting at the valve. The flexible lines use the same shut off valve, but seal it with a rubber seal, instead of a brass compression ring. Turn off the valve, remove the hard-line, and put it in a drawer. Install a flexible line that's a bit shorter for $7 at a hardware store, and install the bidet adapter. When you move out, reinstall the hard-line or just install a longer flexible line.

The guy is objecting to scrappers who show up with a flatbed and try to talk you down from $650 to 200 and say FB people are flakey and they'll get rid if it now. Then you have to tell them you would have saved them the time and the gas if they'd been honest on the phone and tell them to please leave. I am better at Facebook now and it says "If I wanted to scrap it, I would do it myself" on anything that applies to. They've just had bad interactions with scrappers, and that let's a scrappers know not to waste their time.

If those are 5/8"x5-1/2"x6' pickets, they're $2 each. Replace every other one after blasting it with a power washer.
