    I need to lube up the speedometer cable for my 81 rabbit pickup. I had to replace it when I first got the truck. The new one keeps showing the speed as more than what it actually is. For example, I'll be driving 35 mph according to my GPS, but the speedometer shows 55 mph. Someone suggested...

    The car I have bought has had a re-spray and the sills appear to have been repaired. in doing so the aft roof drain which runs inside the body doesn't seem to have anywhere to drain out so the sills fill with water and looks like they've made their own drain holes. Does anyone have a schematic...
