Where to begin?!? The Midget still won’t hold coolant, and we’ve replaced most of the hoses you can see from under the car, so now we have to futz with the heater core!
One of the rear brake pads on the Jaguar has come out of alignment or detached itself from the caliper or something, the net result being the rotor was basically chewed up and grooved to hell. So now my dad and I have to do a brake job, something neither of us have ever done before, because my mom as her present to herself for mothers day, put her foot down and said we can’t spend any more money on other people to fix the cars for us.
The speedometer on the Trailblazer has finally failed completely. Short of buying an entire refurbished instrument cluster, I wouldn’t know where to begin to solve this shit:
And then there’s the S600 which I can no longer reliably lock because the key fob has decided to only work when it wants to work. The buttons go in and out, the keyless go/touch entry/push to start function is totally intermittent, and I had to use the physical key to open the door this morning after mothers day brunch, AND THE GODDAMN ALARM GOES OFF! This on top of the fact I have made the decision to replace my own spark plugs and maybe even my valve cover gaskets but I can’t find step by step idiot proof instructions for either, or what you have to torque things to or any of that stuff, so, you know, paging AMGtech I suppose.
And I was supposed to get my work schedule on Friday and the guy never called so I had to bother my friend in HR again because at least she knows how to respond to an email!
I’m not having a good week, and it’s only Sunday.

Do you still have a key spot in the dash ? I haven't been able to lock my car since August

The Trailblazer: leave it for a while until you have time. I’ve owned two cars with incorrect or dead speedometers. Really not that bad. You’ll have a sense of how fast you’re going.

Could you bypass the heater core with a spare piece of coolant hose to see if the coolant leak stops? That way you can narrow it down :)
Brake changes are alright really. There might be some mucking about with getting the little retaining screws for the disc off (some penetrant and an impact driver work wonders) and if it’s a rear with an integral handbrake it can be tricky to get the lip on the inside over the pads. Might be a way to wind them in slightly to help in that respect.
