1. The self-parking mechanism may be faulty...'02 wiper motors have a power feed that's "hot" all the time; that way the wipers can park themselves at the bottom of the windshield after you turn the ...

just take a couple of 20-25mm long 6x1 studs (or cut the heads off two bolts) and screw 'em inot the hub to align fan and hub as you're whanging the fan in place. Same trick for later BMWs with lug b ...

was approx 1662858. If the paint's the original color, I'd be surprised. Chamoix cars didn't come with caramel/tobacco brown interiors and carpets; on '68s they were either blue or black. Either th ...

and a jam-packed trunk, I had 30.7 and 31.4 mpg tankfuls on the highway at a pretty steady 70mph. Even had 26 mpg on the tank that had 8 autocross runs. That's with a (nearly) stock engine, 2 bbl Web ...

Quick analysis--at least the car was running before you changed the plug wires...so the logical conclusion is that the plug wires are the problem. I think you reinstalled 'em out of order. that woul ...

you may have to snip off the tow ring. It's worthless anyway--I wouldn't try to pull a kid on a tricycle downhill with it.

The muffler hangs down a bit from the two mounts and rubber donuts (the ...

If your going to pull the rad, pull the grills and sit on your ars and pull it. Better than stooping over, LOL

This is the correct answer, pulling the center grill takes less than 5 min and makes ...

What you really need is to go thru the entire fuel system as has been noted. If you just want to get it running for evaluation purposes, pull the idle jet(s) and clean 'em out real good. They'll most ...

in their mounts once the struts were assembled (off the car--I was doing front bushings and bearings). I ended up slipping a short length of clear vinyl tubing over the spring ends to keep the spring ...

while you have the radiator and block drain out, see about fitting a drain cock to both places. You'll probably have to solder in a drain cock on the radiator, as the existing plug is 8mm fine thread ...

back in 1968 as a companion give out for their dealers. I'll bet it sold a lot of 2002s...they sold twice as many 69s as they did 68s.

and/or a missing bushing on the pedal end of the linkage, drop me an e-mail. I have some stuff called "Slick Tape" that you can stick to the back side of the pedal that doesn't require lubrication an ...

Michael and I had a "spirited ride" up the QS Road in a 210 hp Dinan modified Mini a couple of years ago...in the rain. Remember the wild turkeys?

I had a brand new one (not rebuilt) fail within 30k miles...it was passing fluid internally, so no external leak. And it exhibited the same symptoms as yours. I've tried rebuilding '02 master cylind ...

check the fluid level in the brake fluid reservoir. If it's down to the pipe that comes off the reservoir at an angle about halfway down, it's a very good chance you have a leak in the clutch hydraul ...

it's not allowed to overheat. My '73's finally blew at 203,922 miles and 33 years on the original gasket, so I can't complain.

Blown gaskets, regardless of the car (esp with iron block and alumi ...

it's a "mirror image!"

Did anyone catch the sticker on the car that said "Paint by" and a picture of SpongeBob?

other for 30 and have never had any problems with either--rust or otherwise. If you keep the drains clear, they won't leak, even if the weatherstripping is dying. So long as they're correctly adjust ...

my'69 came with no brackets or even holes to accept license plate bolts in the rear. I had to do that after I took delivery on the car. And my '73 didn't have anything back there but a couple of hol ...

Visit your local hardware store and find a couple of thick rubber grommets. If you're cheap use an appropriate length of thick small diameter rubber hose (like a piece of A/C hose)

a 2800CS coupe, the other from a 2800 sedan, both gathered from their original cars in junkyards about 25 years ago. They're identical to the 2002 bus wheel of the era (68-71) but with a real wood ri ...

Generally if it's a 7 digit number it's from an '02 or a 2 liter 320, as they didn't go to the long VIN numbers until 1980/81. And engines carry the same number as the VIN number of the car they were ...

Good to see everyone and VERY gratifying to see all the 2002s there--last couple of years there have only been two or three.
