-- I have an 1986 Bonneville Brougham that I bought a few months ago but I didn't get the maintainance manual for it. I do obvious things like checking the coolant and lubricant fluid levels but since I don't have the manual I don't know if I should be doing other things that I don't know about. Is there a way to either get a manual for it or is there another way to find this information out?
-- I forgot to release the emergency brake one day and started driving away with it still engaged, and although the car moved sluggishly it did move --- clearly there is some kind of problem with the emergency brake. Is there an easy way to tell what's wrong with what and what needs replacing or fixing? Is replacing or fixing an emergency brake a job that could possibly be done by an amateur without a hoist?
