I have a major service planned for early April, I guess I'll add alignment to my shopping list.

symmetrical uneven tire wear
As you can see in the picture, the inside edges of both front tires at wearing prematurely. Back tires are just fine. Any obvious symptoms I should look into? Tires are about two and a half years old, frequent dirt road driving, nothing crazy.

What does this button do?
I've never seen a symbol like this on a North American vehicle, and I can't tell what's different when I push it. I guess it looks like the window is open, something to increase airflow maybe?

What appears to have happened is the bolt that connects the tension bracket to the engine seems to have come off and the adjusting bold and the bracket then came off and ended up on the skid plate. For some miraculou...

Help, some parts fell out of my engine!
I was changing the oil on my '95 2.8 L turbo diesel L400, and imagine my surprise when I find these guys sitting happily on top of the skid plate. Looks to me like some kind of mounting bracket. http://i.imgur.com/3T8Ug36.jpg My wife says she'd heard a rattle a few days ago but the noise stopped and...
