OK, I'll need to pick up a bleeder kit. Do you recommend one? The ones on the Autozone website haven't gotten very good reviews. That's the closest parts store to me.

OK, I checked the brake fluid reservoir. I could see fluid down in it (unless it was a bubble) but it was too low to reach the Min mark on the dipstick. Is that low enough to cause the light to come on? Regardless, I need to add some. The Autozone website says both DOT 3 and DOT 4 "fit" the car. Is there a preference and if I use a different number from what's already in there, is it a problem? I don't know what's in it right now.

Thanks everyone. As soon as I can swim out to my car, I'll check all of your suggestions and report back!

Recently, my in-dash parking brake light has decided to stay on, even when I fully release the parking brake. Where should I start? Is there a sensor that's gone bad? It doesn't seem that the brake is still engaged, though it's possible it is slightly? I don't notice anything when driving. But, I have noticed a bit of a moan when going in reverse that I think is new.

What battery is everyone running?
nc_beagle replied to nc_beagle's topic in Newbie Question and Answers
It was pretty small, compared to the tray. It wasn't holding a charge so I took it back. Their computer said Size 26, which I didn't even know existed. This one fit exactly. Haven't driven it yet. -

I don't know if I picked this one out or if the Autozone Computer did, but here's what I have in the car. Duralast Battery BCI Group Size 51 500 CCA 51-DL -
I feel like I asked this before but can't find my post, or anyone else who has asked the question. I want to be sure I have the right battery, because I think (after a year) I maybe didn't. What group size does everyone have? Also, what CCA? Thanks! Mark

Thanks. And that's good because I dont seem to be able to find the same tire in the correct size.

When getting new tires for my 1987 Conquest with SHP, I accidentally ordered and installed 245/50/VR16 on the rear even though I'd seen that 245/45/VR16 is how it came. I've had them for over a year (though not a ton of miles) and haven't necessarily noticed any problems, but am willing to reorder the correct size if I should. Am I ok as is? The car is on coilovers, if that factors into a recommendation. Thanks, Mark

Based on TexasQuest's response, I wonder if I have a slightly milder version of the same problem with the ETACS. I posted it elsewhere, but I've had the car die on the road then have zero power when the key is turned. But, I've also had issues with the alarm going off when I unlock the car with the key.

Is it by special request with Boosted Diamonds? I don't see seats on their site. It's mostly carbon fiber stuff? Thanks, Mark
