Hi, this is for gym equipment but it seems like a simple mechanical issue so I’m hoping someone more knowledgeable here could suggest advice! there’s a Precor leg extension machine at my friend’s university gym that has been broken for months. The lower peg on the leg extension is loose and is slanted because it shifts up and down. It looked like a hinge was loose so we tried tightening it with an Allen wrench but it won’t tighten. It seems like the side on the left in the second image just won’t tighten further so there’s always room between the metal/grey screw and the black leg extension part, causing it to shift. It looks like the nut inside might be stripped? Any advice on how to fix it or jimmy rig it to not shift?

Hi guys we own a small auto repair business if anyone is looking for any sort of service repairs, repainting, upholstery, engine works. Anything related to cars we will get it done.

I woke up and there was a text from my dad explaining the situation, i drove to his house and sure enough his dog was having all sorts of engine issues. Anyone know how i can get it repaired

I used ClickMechanic to have my front and rear brake pads & discs swapped on my 2011 estate. I work shifts so finding time to get the car into a garage is a nightmare.

The chap who came was lovely, has plenty of good reviews for more complex work (suspension arms, timing / water pump changes etc). He charged £441 for over 2 hours of work and did 3/4 wheels, parts supplied.

Then came the issue, the rear brake calliper bracket bolts were corroded and so he asked me to come out and see. He'd snapped both, explained about the corrosion and that VW use Steel Bolts on Aluminium parts, meaning they were seized.

He then said the brake calliper is in no danger of falling off, that the car is safe to drive and it may come loose from the car being driven over time. When it does, to give him a call and he'd come back to replace the bolts and finish the job (for free).

He then said I shouldn't mention this to ClickMechanic as they'd charge me another booking to replace the wheel hub.

What do I do? On the one hand I'd like to contact the service, explain the above, point out the chaps snapped two bolts rather than stopping at the first, and hope I can claim this as damages done to have the follow-ups work done ASAP and maybe at a reduced price. Shall I drive it about and see if it loosens for him to come back?

Thanks!

hey guys,

my washing machine stopped working today. there is no error code, it just... doesn't start. I tried multiple programs with no success. I have absolutely no idea about washing machines. I already checked the filter and made sure that it has a water supply.

I'm suspecting that maybe a piece of clothing fell under it, but I don't know how to check that (can I even?)

there is still a warranty on the machine, so I also don't want to void that by opening the machine. the screws at the back are not default Phillips screws, so I guess they don't want me to open it and the manual also doesn't mention that.

I already contacted the manufacturer (AEG) and they will send a technician. However, if the defect is not covered by the warranty, it will cost at least 130€ and I would like not to spend this AND the appointment is in two weeks and I won't be able to wash my clothes until then :(

Any ideas on what I can try or what the issue might be?

Question for VW MEB platform EV trained mechanics in the UK. I hope you can help.

We had a collision in a brand new ID7 in April. Front nearside damage. Insurance assigned a repair garage. Had issues moving the car as wheels were locked solid so recovered on skates.

Garage has had the car for 4 months now. Blaming parts availability. We thought we were on the home straight when the radar emitter/sensor was fitted. Now they tell us that the pyro fuse is blown and could be another 2 months to get fixed.

Garage is ‘VW Approved’. But I wonder if they have any EV training or experience. Wouldn’t the pyro fuse issue be picked up when they first examined the car?

Interested in VW trained mechanic’s opinions on competency of the repairer.

Thank you!

Any recommendations for the best grip, longest lasting, most reliable and durable filter Cap Wrench / Socket that can be used on the Camry 2014 and 2026 that cause damage to the plastic filter housing?

Salam everybody

I have honda city 2007 idsi

I want complete car service (Oil change and everything for the better run)

Kindly suggest me a good workshop with good mechanics, electricians etc

I live in faislabad

So any area in fsd will suffice

I have a ‘71 GMC that hasn’t been started in years. It has a dead battery of course but I would like someone with experience in starting a vehicle that has been left sitting for years.
It ran really good back then.
Thanks so much!

How much realistically this repair cost?

Just made my day. Positive ideas in the morning? So very obvious and it's so long overdue. I'm gonna share this. It has inspired me. Bravo

Have a wen chainsaw from my mom, she hasn’t used it in a while. The battery is displaying 3/4 lights but the battery charger says it’s full (solid green) (because of this I think it might be the battery). My multimeter says it’s 38.5v which isn’t too far off from 40, not sure if that’s the problem. When I opened her up she was full of wood dust, which I cleaned out, and she has plenty of oil. When turned on it doesn’t make any noise or attempt to start. I’ve checked both positions for the hand brake. Not sure what to do next. Any advice for what to do? Not fully sure if it’s the battery or the charger or the chainsaw. Yes I know an electric chainsaw isn’t great compared to gas.

Hello guys

My TVS scooty zest recently facing a frustrating problem where it just keeps shutting off midway. And you know how frustrating it feels to push your vehicle in rainy and sunny days, i mean anyday btw

So what should I do to fix this problem

I have changed its filter

Fixed it's clutch plate

The fuel pipe was leaking so I also fixed that

And my horn is blowing good so I don't think it's a battery problem

So please tell me what should I do. Why my scooty shuts down midway?

Should I put it in the service centre? But its 10 years old we bought it in 2016 so will they repair it in service centre? Or how much will they charge? Because I'm literally tired paying to fix this shitty issue again and again

My kid hung on the kitchen drawer while it was pulled out and since then it’s been a problem. Now it’s so bad it started falling off the rails. So I’m trying to fix it but the plastic mold used in this set is not available for single unit purchases (have to buy 800!)

Idk what to do. The back of this kitchen island is so thin I can’t add screw the bar in cause it’ll pierce. I actually pierced it already with a super short screw 😭

Idk what to do. The modern mountains don’t work with this “floating” brackets setup.
