Reverse lights come on when I start the engine

Car won't turn over and brake and gear shifter won't move

Radiator, cooling system leaks 2006 Nissan Murano

Current-day radiators (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/how-long-does-a-radiator-last) utilize plastic end tanks, assembled on aluminum cores(the shiny fins running across the front of the engine compartment). This assembly inevitably starts to leak over time. I recommend...
Master Cylinder failure, for a second time. Why? 2011 Nissan Altima

I tried driving it once for about 20 mins before it overheated and I was forced to tow it. I understand I will probably need to scrap it but would be keen to hear what you have to say. Cheers Rupert Mechanic's Assistant: Have you checked the coolant? Have you checked for a leak in the cooling system? No I have not Mechanic's Assistant: What is the make/model/year of your car? 2002 Subaru impreza Mechanic's Assistant: Are you fixing your Impreza yourself? What have you tried so far?
