My original (140k miles) stater has been going out and getting louder over the last 6 months. Yesterday I yanked it off (from above) and the stater casing was cracked and fell into 2 pieces. Slapped in the new (Honda) starter...my god it is sooo quiet!

No idea what this is....but when I start my E sometimes (50%) during the 1 second while the starter is cranking, I feel feedback thru the clutch pedal. As in a single pump and a strange almost air leaking noise for half a second. Original starter, 150k miles.
Any ideas? TIA.

Rules MUST be followed........even in Mexico.

I'm arriving at SEATAC at 8pm on tuesday (11/28). I'm hoping to take Link to the U District station to be picked up. International flight so probably wont get to the airport station until bit after 9pm. Will Link still be running at that time and are there any train changes to make to get to UW?

Thanks

Is anyone out there cruising Mexico as a Permanent Resident? Curious if the TIP (Temp. Import Permit) process for boats is only for those on Tourist Visa? I know that a Perm. Resident cannot own a foreign plated car in Mexico...recently got my Jalisco plates...does the same apply to boats?

Nube here...I've been happily using Proton VPN for 6 months. A few days ago I noticed when I connect to Proton I lose net connection. The second I disconnect Proton I reconnect with net. Anything obvious here before I contact Proton? Thanks. WIN7, acct is active.

Has anyone ordered parts from these guys? I placed an order on Oct. 22. I've made 3 inquiries about the order with no response. No phone number indicated on their website. Order on tracking site is still "in process".
Curious if anyone else has experienced the same.
Thanks

Good morning everyone....I'm an expat living in central Mexico. On Jan 4, 2023 my Temporary Resident Visa expires and transitions to a Permanent Resident Visa. Permanent Residents cannot keep a foreign plated vehicle in Mx...so she unfortunately has to go. I absolutely love this car.

She is a 2005, 5 speed FWD (not 4WD) with 153k miles and in exceptional condition. One small rear bumper scrape, no dings and flawless interior (including drivers seat). Zero rust. I paid $7k for her in Seattle in 2018 (she had 115k miles at purchase). She has a rebuilt front end (2020) and new windshield.

I will be making the 3 day drive to the border in early December to sell her in Tucson, AZ. I will need t

I've had tinnitus for as long as I can remember, in my case however it's not debilitating...I quite often don't notice it.

For the last 10 years I've had a condition where I will become dizzy/ nauseous in places with bright overhead fluorescent lighting, always a "big box" store, such as WalMart, Home Depot, Safeway, etc. In researching this condition I've found it might be related to the 60 htz flicker rate of fluorescent tube lighting. I recently found an MD working on this and he indicated that those with tinnitus (among other things) are more prone to this. His website suggested wearing a cap or polarized sunglasses in these spaces. I have tried this and so far it seems to work. Just w

I recently retired early and moved to Mexico. I have a forwarding address in the US. A family member that monitors this address for me took a photo of a letter from a collection agency (first time in my life) concerning a $110 unpaid bill that I have never seen. It is with a US insurance company who's policy I cancelled about a year before moving to MX. I could easily simply pay the debt to the collection company, but will that prevent a credit hit? Or has my credit likely already bit hit by the insurance company. I have an excellent credit score. My other option is to begin a dispute resolution with the insurance company...however they have obviously already written off this debt.
