Yup. Apply WD40 to the parts that are supposed to move, duct tape to the parts that aren't. Smile | :)

1. Buy all the parts except for the engine
2. Replace old parts with newly-purchased parts
3. Profit.

My '98 Camry V6 station wagon ('97 build) is still going strong. Travelled round the moon, started on the return journey.
One engine bearing (somewhere in the top end I think) is getting a bit talkative, and the suspension is a bit loosey goosey.
The foam rubber behind the headlining cloth disintegrated, but a staple gun cured the vision issue.
The tailgate wiper doesn't (wiring issue), but hey the original aircon gas is still there.
Toyotas are virtually unkillable. (Top Gear had to try very hard!)

Cheers,
Peter

I just fixed my car today. Rear break lights were constantly on. In 42 degree celcious heat the break plug (whatever the offical name for it is ! the thing that keeps the break sensor switch pused. ) break away. Replaced it with a screw. Youtube video helped to find the solution. Saved myself a trip to mechanic and few quids and impressed wife with my mechanical skills. Smile | :)

To be fair, for the most part, that can probably be said for most cars nowadays. My Charger (2006, first model year) has had some rust spots done, but engine-wise, there hasn't been a need to touch anything. Not to suggest that anything is "falling apart around the engine" in my case. Smile | :)

I only replaced the (original) battery last month. The car is outdoors 24/7/365 and has been through -35C temperatures. I work from home and hardly have any mileage - and remaining stationary (especially when exposed to the elements) is a lot harder on a car than driving it regularly.

Argh, can't repro

I've been struggling with reproducing the error in my version of unicode Rolex that isn't based on GPLEX.

There's something wrong with the DFA table generation, I'm about 80% certain, but I can't even reproduce it with (i think?) the same code I ran last week (last time i did anything with the project)

This is frustrating. It's like putting something together and having pieces left over.

This thing is not ready for primetime. I have to reproduce that bug. Meh

Update: Never mind, I reprod it in one case but I can't tell what's different from my other case.
