Some bubbles came out. I then turned off the engine and let the coolant...

    new water pump - overheating

    I first had the problem of coolant leaking so i replaced water pump with a re-manufactured water pump. I added a new coolant temp sensor (broke the old one) but used the same old thermostat. this has just been replaced recently and nothing was wrong with it. I installed everything correctly...

    Steering/alignment

    I am having some steering/alignment issues. My vette pulls to the right on normal driving conditions.

    Fuel leak - rear

    i removed the fuel door and moved the boot, but couldn't see anything wet or leaking on top. I am just going to take it in this week. i imagine the line must have a hole or has been crimped some how.

    Fuel leak - rear

    I have a noticeable fuel leak coming from the rear of the passenger side of the fuel tank. You can see the drip speed, about a coffee pot speed drip. It seems to be dripping "from" the fuel lines, but i can't see above things or without fuel dripping on my face. The lines look ok, slight surface...

    I broke the rear hatch latch for roof panel

    I was putting this big box in the back on my Vette and I caught the latch that holds down the roof panel when you put it in the back. I know the handle comes up to remove the rear molding thing. But i broke this down the the spring rod part that pulls in and handle came with it. Any thoughts...

    Keys getting lock inside car

    it might have been that my key was not in all the way the times the doors locked. I was at the gas station (again) and this happened (again). I reached in and turned the key noticing that i could seen lots of "key". the silver part. I pushed in a little further and seemed to work. Make sense?
