Some might remember my short thread about the locked up front left brake while driving to our holiday destination. A oldschool mechanic from our local AAA (-> ADAC in Germany) was able to free it up with his crowbar, but of course, it’s not a perman…

Just take a crow bar and a decent hammer – gets the job done.

What happened?

I convinced my better half to take the LeBaron for our vacation trip to the "saxony switzerland", south east of Dresden, Germany. Well, much better than in a &quot…

Folks, my trip odometer stopped working. What a catastrophy!

This vehicle is one of the most service friendly, I used to use (just how boring – no need to remove the speedo-cable at the rear….)

Tada – detonation gone.

Obviously, the vac-switch turning off secondary air at high vac (when getting off the gas) is gone. I’ll see if I can get a replacement.
