... board and it seems to have been this way for a long, long time.
Owning a used 03 BMW has me sometimes searching for a similar board. Not really there; some help, but scattered. More about performance mods, selling used cars, etc.
Ditto with my 2001 Chevy Suburban, my in-laws '01 Buick, my son and daughters '07 Sonata, all of which I work on from time to time. There are some good YouTube posts now and then, but this site is 'one stop shopping' for issues, repairs, etc, especially combing the archives for Ari's write-ups for any of you who haven't read some of his fine work, especially on electrical issues.
Maybe it is the age of the cars. Maybe it's the limited access to dealerships if you don't live in an urban area /the northeast US. Idk. Whatever, I certainly appreciate all the details many of you share on a regular basis. Even if I don't post, trolling through the comments and write-ups will sometimes give me a heads up on tackling another issue while working on routine mx. Or it might motivate to finally get off my backside and fix that rt rear pax door power lock assy.
Thx,
