logray's post in Clock/ Oil Level Display Blank? was marked as the answer
Shine a bright flash light on it when it is not displaying, you should be able to make out the digits, and as the previous posted pointed out, should just be a bulb.
If you can't see the display, then you would be looking at board repair or cluster replacement (both are $$ compared with bulb).

logray's post in Exhaust clamp removal was marked as the answer
I've always been able to twist them off without grinding/etc. I guess it depends on how badly rusted they are. To get them started, you can very gently tap them with a hammer to twist them or use some other form of leverage such as pry bar/etc. Don't pound on them too hard, because you don't want to damage the cats.

logray's post in What is this vacuum hose and could it contribute to a rough idle? was marked as the answer
A good 2 part epoxy should hold, at least temporarily. A good permanent fix is a new hose.
The hose routes along the top of the engine bay and snakes down by the transmission then under the body underneath belly pans and then behind the wheel well liner where it pokes into the frunk and into where the brake booster lives near the master cylinder.
Here's a pic of that hose from my car. You can see how much of a pain it would be to do on jack stands and with the engine in car. Impossible, no. Difficult, yes.
