"My GTV did this years ago and was caused by the oil pan guard being loose."

The things which various cars and/or owners had done in 1222 were:
- - have feedback problems with radio/CD speakers,
- - need a set of rear trailing arms for a DUETTO, 
- - have heating problems probably due to a defective heater valve,
- - have a brake warning light stay on without apparent reason,
- - have a godawful buzzing sound emanating from the passenger side dash,
- - run poorly with fouled plugs,
- - need 6mm bolts for a steering wheel puller,
- - seek a device to preheat to ease cold starts,
- - seek information on fitting BMW calipers,
- - resolve confusion about GTA wheel-mounting bolt circles,
- - have a rough-idling/missing problem,
- - discuss stress cracks in exhaust headers.

Fred, wishing to help people but not being clairvoyant, often asks people to 
give their addresses. 

I, appreciating learning about the solutions to problems, but not being very 
insightful, am prone to wonder (sometimes) what the hell the problems were 
that elicit certain succinct, but cryptic, answers.
