Tell me about it, at least they seem to be able to make it stick to the body work now. I had a '96 Chrysler Neon with the first generation of water based paints on, it started peeling off in sheets when it got to 4 /5 years old

Attempted to change my fuel filter. The housing wouldn't turn and was starting to squash in on the sides. As I don't have a spare housing I gave up. Seriously thought I was going to crack it.

Fitted new brake pads front and rear. As I was dismantling the off side front I noticed that the brake ware sensor had been put in back to front :?.
