1. well it was slippery today here as it was snowing... long story short... i hit a small snow pack and it left a small little crack on the bottom of my front bumper.. and a small piece is missing :sosad: ... but anyways... its not too visible from the looks of it... but i was wondering if its possible to fix just that certain part in any shop.. or another words.. is body shops able to fix small crack parts without having to replace the whole thing?

2. A new problem evolved today as I was driving my sis to the station to work. Out of no where my hand brake signal shows up randomly as my handbrake was already put down! Anyone know why this happens? Could it be due to the cold weather were experiencing this morning or could it be that my handbrake is starting to fail on me? The signal only shows at random times...

bump... new problem >_<

The body shop guy I use for painting specializes in bumper repair...so it can be fixed, I guess if its not too bad!

Check ur brake fluid level, it may just be low!....top it off and see if that helps! could be an indication of worn pads!

 

[dpanda88]

oh no not more fluid lost :sosad:
but thanks eyeball96 for the tips. I'll make sure to check and find out if its fix-able now that I know it can be fixed

Yep. I'd check the brake fuild for the second problem.

My Cressida had the 'Brake' light go on me while driving. I checked the brakes to see if they were working and they were fine. Went home and found I was a bit under the 'MIN' line. Filled it up and it was fine. My Gen1 Camry had the same issue after a bleed...only thing is that I had to fill right on the 'MAX' as even though it was between the 'MIN' and 'MAX', the light still was on.

x3 on brake fluid problem.
I asked that question recently like a dummy, and upon filling it up, never got that problem.

it could be the sensor too, mine malfunctioned and it wouldnt go off.

mine had the problem when the brake fluid reservoir was only 3/4 full ... filled to MAX line and problem went away

 

[ELL]

3/4 full? wow
mine didn't start appearing until when I was just at the MIN line

Well....there is a float in there....like styrofaom or somethin..and it gets stuck sometimes and doesnt go all the way up. Mine had this problem...had to get a pick and poke at it for some time to get it back up.

^x4 or 5 on brake fluid. This is not just from leaks. Normal wear of the brake pads results in the fluid getting lower. As the pads wear down it takes more fluid to press them against the drum or rotor. When you need to add fluid it isn't a bad idea to check on your brake pads for wear.
