Tib Problems
about to hit 100k its startin to give me some problems
o2 sensor when bad... i replaced it cleared the code and about 10 miles down the road it came back on
brought it back to the shop and scanned the codes... came back as the 02 sensor and heater core i think, which both mean o2 sensor... but when we run the test the sensor is working.. so i am going to take it back and put another new one in, just incase the one i put in was dropped
now it seems i have a seized brake caliper in the drivers rear wheel.. it started sqeaking all the time and after driving it home from work it was smokin hot... would instantly sizzle some water compared to the other side would not sizzle just steam a little bit... anyone know of good brake upgrades? i have to do some reasearch but if u have a suggestion let me know
this next problem is my own fault.. i locked my keys in my car and tried to break in.. the cop spent an our and did not do anything so i took the slim jim and got a hold of the lock and pulled up (with some force) and completly disabled everything in the door... it wont open from inside.. outside... locks work but wont open my g/f has to crawl through the window lolol
so now i have to try to pick apart the door latch from the crack in the window and door to try to get it open then replace everything in the door... the latch is 85 bucks its self
my drivers window regulator broke a while back
my clutch just went, and i need tires
intake gasket is leaking now
will it ever end?

Sure won't if you don't take care of it and just let it pile up.

Pull off the brake caliper & have a shop recondition it for you. Buy new pads for both sides & fit them yourself. Done.
Get some decent tyres or at least the best ones you can afford. Tyres are important.
Pull off the plastic inner door cover/lining & unbolt the window glass & mechanism. Check or replace the mechanism but not before checking the door lock. With the glass out this'll be really easy to do. You might find that one of the metal wires has just come of the locking mechanism or something. Otherwise, replace it.
Get a shop to replace your clutch with at least a stage 1 heavy duty clutch.
Buy an IM gasket & replace it yourself on a Sunday arvo. It should take no more than a couple of hours.
Check/replace the O2 sensors. Check that the cat is still good too as this might be causing you grief as well.
