Why would a Daewoo Leganza not shift out of gear?

I have a 2000 Leganza and it would not shift out of park/gear recently. I discovered it was a bad brake switch with signals the brake lights to activate and the shifter to release. The switch is a small plug-type part and I found a used one on line for about 30 bucks. labor to put it in was about 50. !

I had same problem years ago - there was a recall on the brake light switch - you may be able to get it replaced for free?

In case you get stuck though and need to get it home - stick a screw driver into the slot next to your shifter to get it into gear. Get the switch fixed though - your brake lights may not be coming on.

Turn-signal does not switch off as you turn back your steering wheel on left side sometimes right side - now the lever won't go down to make blinker blink for a left turn?

If the turn signal no longer turns off automatically, there is probably a broken part inside the steering wheel for the turn signal switch. Part of the mechanism could have broken off and gotten jammed in the path of the lever.

What should you check if the ABS light stays on in your 99 Daewoo Leganza?

IF the ABS light is on there has been a malfunction with the anti-lock brakes. Only the dealer or an authorized repair center will be equiped with the proper tools to check that light and the components in the anti-lock system.

When engine is in time is cylinder 1 TDC or not?

When the engine is in time, cylinder 1 is at Top Dead Center (TDC) on the compression stroke. This means that both the intake and exhaust valves for cylinder 1 are closed, and the piston is at its highest point in the cylinder, ready for the ignition of the air-fuel mixture. Proper timing ensures that the engine's valves open and close in sync with the piston's movement for optimal performance.

What is the average life of car tires?

Too many variables.

If you only drove 100 miles a year and you kept the car in a garage then the answer is likely to be a long time. However, take it to a track day and see a set of tyres disappear in smoke in a day or less depending on, again, many factors, inc' front wheel drive "v" rear wheel drive, agressive nature of the driving etc.

Your tyres have a tyre wear indicator throughout the tread tyre, it's known as the bridge. There are legal requirements as to how deep tyres in the UK must be and across what % of the tyre. Is this what you are asking?

If in doubt call in at a garage or Google for the legal bottom line.

Inspect your tyres for wear and tear at least once a month I'd suggest and beware extra bulges in the sidewall, especially on the front tyres.

If in doubt - have them replaced.

How doesa Daewoo immobilizer work?

A Daewoo immobilizer works as a security feature designed to prevent unauthorized starting of the vehicle. It typically includes a transponder chip embedded in the car key that communicates with the car's engine control unit (ECU). When the key is inserted and turned, the immobilizer system checks for a matching signal from the transponder; if it recognizes the signal, it allows the engine to start. If the signal is not recognized, the immobilizer disables the fuel pump or ignition system, preventing the vehicle from starting.
