Was the engine fire the shops fault

I have a Jaguar 1970 E type straight six. I had a shop do a bunch of work on it to get it ready for summer driving. I spent 15 grand on the items in these pictures. After driving it 10 miles home from the shop and then one other drive a week later 2 miles. The third time I started it after picking it up from the shop the engine caught fire. The shop is saying that it had nothing to do with what they worked on. I’m hoping smarter people than me can help me figure out what to do here. They are willing to fix it if they find out that it was their fault. But I doubt they will take fault to voluntarily. They have insurance, but don’t want to do an insurance claim. Any insight? Any advice?

This seatbelt extender's not compatible and now got stuck - i can't remove it. Does anyone know how to get this out? Tried wd40 and used a kitchen knife and screw driver with no luck.

Nissan Frontier 2008 — Cooling system issue

Nissan Frontier 2008 — Cooling system issue

Hi, I have a Nissan Frontier 2008 and it has this problem:

After driving for about 20–30 minutes, the water temperature starts to rise.
If I increase the RPM / give it more gas, the temperature drops back down and then usually stays normal for almost the rest of the drive.

What do you think could be causing this?
Could it be:

  • thermostat
  • partially clogged radiator
  • water pump
  • or air in the cooling system?

If anyone has had a similar issue, what would you recommend checking first?

I have a 2018 Infiniti Q 50 Lux and the speakers don’t work

So when I got the car, it has an aftermarket screen on it, but it was glitchy so I just bought the OEM screen and put it back on. There was a bunch of wires that I sorted out and only kept the OEM ones but now when I plug everything in the speakers don’t work. The only speakers that do work are the front dashboard left one and the top speaker on the driver door I replaced I looked up online and they said that DCU might be faulty so I replaced that but that didn’t fix anything. I try to locate the amplifier, but apparently mine doesn’t have the Bose sound system so it doesn’t have an amplifier I couldn’t find it.

Not sure what the issue is, but if someone can help me, that’ll be much appreciated.

What fuel pump to buy?

I have a 2005 chevy Silverado 5.3 vortec crew cab with 5.8ft bed and i am having issues with choosing a fuel pump. Rock auto has the Delphi fg0392 for $277 after shipping but parts geek has a Delphi 17836-06445847 for $127 (parts geek also has a Delphi fg0392 listing for $380 which makes is even more confusing). Google says they're the same pump but listed as different tracking numbers. Any advice on which one i should go with factoring in cost?

Here are the corresponding links.

USB ports not working

I have a 2023 Sierra Pro and the USB ports are not working. I even bought a new USB module thinking that was the problem but that didnt fix the issue. I checked the fuse in the fuse pannel and it looks good. Could it be a ground problem? Anyone had that issue fixed ?
