I received an answer from Chamberlin. They want me to send them a picture of the back of the wall controller showing the build date, and a picture of the opener with the serial number.

This morning I went outside and found my garage door open. The light on the LM888 was out and would not close the door. I have three 8500 openers and this is the second to fail this way. The date on the controller is 2/2015. I was able to close the door by removing the two wires and touching...

I repaired one on a VW Passat using fiberglass cloth. It was torn from front to back about half way. Worked fine. Still good when I sold it several years later.

This was my solution. Still satisfied: http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=284998&highlight=frank001

My 1991 535i BMW was the same. Super easy. Also my 2013 Mercedes C250 and my 2006 Mercedes Sprinter Van are very similar to the BMW with filter replaceable from the top. Just unscrew the cap and drop the new filter in.

I have had a MityVac for many years. Still works great and has never failed me on numerous vehicles, including ABS. I can't understand why people have problems using one. By far the easiest method I have found to bleed brakes by yourself. No need for grease either or any 'pigtail' or any...

I have a MityVac vacuum bleeder that I have had for decades. Still works fine and has never failed me on many different vehicles.

Did you freeze the puck before drilling? Seems like that would help in getting a clean hole.

I have used the MOVs on relays that are actuated dozens of times per day/365 days per year. The MOVs showed no signs of failure after years in service. An MOV of the proper voltage rating won't be any more prone to failure than a diode.

I have always used an MOV instead of a diode whenever I thought the 'inductive kick' from the relay coil might be a problem. MOVs have no polarity.

Less than $18.00/100 pieces on ebay.

I got a Multi Mig 90070-71 given to me including the gas bottle. I don't know how old the welder is but it seems in reasonable shape. I'm sure it's not a high end machine. I have done a little welding, but not a lot. Does anyone have an opinion on this welder? Also I would like to get a...

My 1991 BMW 535i had a similar tool kit. I bought the car new and had it over 25 years, but never had to use the tools. I kept them when I sold the car.
