its probably the one at 825 cabell from google it appears the front business uses the other street as an address...so 825 is probably the back part of that light brown siding place ...close to the hydro/bell substation building

brake pads and shoes 05-15 caliper 05-13 drum 05-15 wheel cylinders 05-12 thats for the fortwo...other models will vary ..info is from rockauto which seems to be fairly accurate when you go to rockauto choose your model/year etc...then find your part and when you click the actual part number it shows a list of what else it fits
-
when my choices are $300 or a bit of glue and time...the glue and time wins every time
-
i dont know i can get used for $50...just wondering if there is a source for new ones at decent prices (in north america)
-
i wasnt able to save the honda one ..it was too far gone anyone know a source for decently priced condenser in canada?..(2005 450)...just want to ask before i try and find a used one
-
i dont recommend jb weld for anything if youre real ambitious and have tons of patience you could try and solder it with aluminum alloy rods...they sell soft rods for patching boats
-
a few hours my drivetrain was completely out at the time of repair for other issues so i suppose mine cured for a month or more before i even started it ...but a few hours should be fine
-
yep..airbag issue also your seatbelt is undone
-
so just an update..i have no idea how i got it but obviously the last combination of guesses was successful so i can now confirm that wow wurth 5.00.8 can actually teach in the keys (2005 450 canadian version) it took almost an hour but i managed to get 1 key working maybe ill try again to get more keys on a day when my blood pressure is lower
-
i used gorilla glue because it expands during cure...figured it would grab better than epoxy seems to have worked..the fishing nail was just to take up the gap and spread the load so the glue repair would have less pressure on it
-
i never did get the delphi to work with wurth program so i bought a different snooper for wurth ..and it connect fine ,,,and managed to bugger up my only working key when trying to enter programming mode i get a bar that builds up to 100% then a screen that says to turn off ignition and immobiliser symbol should remain flashing but it doesnt...it just goes out like normally turning off the key and then the snooper loses communications..if i wait without turning key off it does the same thing.,,loses communication

look into delphi 150e or wow wurth snooper with the delphi you can read/erase codes including brakes and airbags...and read live data....i think the wow wurth snooper is slightly better some people says it can reprogram keys but im still struggling to get mine connected either ones are available for around $50 online from overseas -
the temporary fix seems to still be holding
-
$345 from germanauto in toronto i have no idea at dealer because i wont deal with them i fixed mine temporarily a few years ago with finishing nails (to take up the gap) and gorilla glue to seal,,,and trimmed to housing of course
-
they dont have sliding shade covers on the inside?..(ive never seen a panoramic or sunroof smart in person)
-
order some rings and change them the traction control and abs are important on this car in the meantime make sure you drive careful and dont do it in rain or snow conditions depending where you are ...if you get in an accident and they find fault with your car (like non-functioning abs/traction control) you could be held liable

they are the ends of the dedion tube https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/De_Dion_tube

thats awful it got so bad with such low mileage i remember my dads 81 toyota truck was over 130,000kms before the factory brakes needed changing

same rotors as a Dacia Logan ,Dacia Sandero and a Renault Twingo ..whatever those are mercedes 4534200100
-
go to a locksmith most big box types stores wont cut a key unless it was purchased from them then look up programming for whatever car you have,,,some will need dealer or expensive diagnostic equipment to program the electronics...some will not ..it depends what car you have
-
well at least now we know the ebay listing was wrong those rotors are definitely not the same as the older models they are vented...old ones are solid
-
always change in pairs ... personally i turn away people who want to only change the pads and re-use old rotors
-
2005 to 2016 seem to be the same parts..check before ordering though..i can not confirm this im just going by what i see in listings and they are often wrong https://www.ebay.com/itm/Front-Cross-Drilled-Brake-Rotors-Ceramic-Pads-Fit-2005-2016-Smart-Fortwo/253511238243?fits=Year%3A2016|Make%3ASmart|Model%3AFortwo&hash=item3b06728263:g:8N8AAOSwGltasymG&vxp=mtr

go to midas or some other garage that specializes in brakes i only say that because they might have stock and it sounds like you need rotors and pads awful quick there is nothing special about changing the brakes ...the problem will be sourcing the parts
