Rear:
1. Raise and properly support back of car. I used a long metal bar that I had which reached across from one of the lower A-arms to the other and jacked up in the middle. I then put jack stands under the rear jacking points using jacking pucks.
2. Remove wheels
3. On the passenger’s side of the car you will need to remove the brake pipe bracket so that the suspension can be lowered. It is attached by 2 10mm nuts.

We should have known that it would happen eventually. Last year, the vaunted BMW 5-series didn’t win a comparison test and finally fell off of our 10Best list. That the 5-series we’d grown so familiar with was still winning our enthusiast hearts after more than five years (what seems an eternity in the modern car biz), speaks volumes of praise. But, the 2003 5-series finally took the fall, taking second place to the newly designed Mercedes-Benz E-class.

There are fewer dealers, the list price is higher … Clearly, anyone serious about owning the Wagon R should refer to our Agila report as well.

The Air-cooled VW heating system
In its stock form the heating system on most air cooled VW’s utilizes the engine cooling fan, two heat exchangers and a series of vents in the passenger compartment. The cooling fan, mounted on the end of the generator/ alternator shaft, provides cooling air for the engine and air into the passenger compartment for heat. The heat is provided by two heat exchangers, sometimes called heater boxes. Each heater box is a finned exhaust header that transfers heat from exhaust gasses to air on its way into the passenger compartment. In the (Type 1 beetle) passenger compartment there are two vents located under both sides of rear seat, two more near the driver and passenger’s feet, and a total of five defrost vents spread across the front windshield. As designed this system is uncomfortable in cold weather.

The all-new Lancer is larger in every dimension except length, where it has lost 1.5 centimetres. It rides on a brand-new platform shared with the new Outlander, which provides a 56% increase in torsional rigidity and 50% more bending rigidity. For the time being, the front-drive Lancer is offered as a sedan with a choice of three trim levels: DE, ES and GTS.

In the works for the 2009 model-year are a Ralliart version, a station wagon, and a larger, 2.4-litre engine for the GTS. The very sporty Evolution with 291 horsepower is available for the first time in Canada.
