On Monday morning while trying to go to work, the truck refused to start. When I turn the key, it will just make a clicking noise (click,click ) without starting the engine. My wife had to stay behind to find a mechanic to attend to the problem while I took my daugter to school using public...

Spot On Glass Hi Pitbull, Please give me illustration on how to use newspaper to clean the glass. Do you use it dry or you sqeeze the newspaper before use?

Warming up Vehicle I dont usually warm up. The toyota manual says warm up is unnessary. Although I live in Nigeria where we do not experience snow and therefore have no need to get the temperature up to avoid freezing,
