For those of you that I've worked with in the past, would you mind if I solicit a review for yelp?

Eugene, you're the best bro...I wish I was closer to the bay (from Toronto, Canada)but your DIY videos have helped me out big-time...thanks bro!

I was thinking about tackling a coolant flush...do you know of any DIY videos or is it easy enough if I follow the service manual???

I'm definitely due for bleeding my brake lines (how complicated is this to do myself?)

also what about flushing the brake fluid in the clutch (mines looks pretty nasty)...

Thanks again bro...I just came from parts source looking for the pressure brake bleeding kit you have and ran into another guy looking for the same kit because of your posts...too funny...for every one guy who thanks you there are probably another 10 that use you vids...

The adapter I used in the video is a universal adapter. You can buy the 1107 adapter now, it is a direct screw-on to the reservoir.

I've got a problem. Car will not start. All I hear is a single "Click". Tried jumping it to no avail. Sat there for about 5min to try and charge it, no go. The problem happened this morning a few times...on a whim I put in the actual key and the car started. After that, it worked the entire afternoon around town.

Later this afternoon, I worked on installing a roof rack and thus had the doors opened for about 45min (dome lights on). Car will now not start at all. One click when I turn the ignition. Jump does not help. Please help! Is it my starter? (I hope not)

Can you help me with my e-brake? I can't get it right... it's either too tight or not tight enough, and I think the handle side needs to be readjusted again too...

Your battery is just dead... you want to do a regular maintenance on the battery too... once any of the wells in your battery dry out, the battery won't hold a charge anymore and needs to be replaced. At that point, refilling the wells won't help.

I sure hope so. It's weird though, inside lights work, all meters light up, head lights turn on, radio turns on, etc.

Sounds like your battery is crapping out. Take it to Kragen or somewhere similar and they'll do a load test on it for free. Cold weather beats down the acual available amps that you need to start the car, and when it gets warmer, you get more. Thats the reason for CCA, cold cranking amps ratings on batteries. When the weathers like it's been lately, plenty of people find out their battery is shot.
