    Are DIY tire repair kits ok for permanent repairs on small punctures?

    Plug kit, no problem. I worked in a Service Station from 1977 thru 1983 and probably plugged 1,000 tires. I carry a plug kit in my vehicle and have for many years.

    2003 Montero - Hydraulic Brake Booster longevity & general advice

    I have 185K+ miles on my '05 (put more than 100K of those on it) and have not had the symptoms nor failure. I do have a new re-built HBB motor on my shelf thou, hopefully will never need to use it. IIRC some of the higher end Toyota & Lexus cars have the same system too.

    Searching for a 3rd Gen Weekend Whomper

    As with anything, generally the lower the miles and the newer (years wise) the better. Of course that is not the only factor in a used vehicle evaluation.

    Price Check - 2006 Montero

    I'd say up to $7500 if the timing belt / waterpump service has been in the last ~15K miles. Otherwise $5.5k to $6.5K, totally depends on other condition factors thou. Some vehicles with 125K miles can be really ratty :) and wouldn't even be worth buying at all. KBB in "good" condition says a...
