Cars & Transportation - 20 June 2006

My internal locking system on my car doors makes a weird noise whenever I lock/unlock it, it is getting worse and wondered if anyone would have an idea as to how much it would cost to fix? My car is an automatic 1995 rover 416 but runs really well, I only have this problem with the locking system. Is it worth keeping the car? or will it cost me more than the car is worth?

The car needs to be good in snow actually....preferably having a 4 wheel drive train...but the traction in the snow is important because we live in utah so canyon driving and all that is essential...

It is completely split...50% of the people I have asked say you can only enter or exit when the lane opens, and the other 50% say you can exit at anytime but you have to wait until the lane opens to enter.

So, I called the police department and asked an officer. He told me NO you cannot exit or enter the carpool lane until it allows.

My friend (one of the people who says you can exit anytime) called his local police department and was told YES you can exit at anytime but you cannot enter. Now I'm seriously confused...


It all began one day while driving in the carpool lane. I wondered what if a Police Officer pulls you over while you're in the carpool lane, what do you do? Do you wait until the lane opens or just cross the double lines and pull over? So, I just asked a few people, and the next one always said the opposite of the last... I think it is safe to say when a cop pulls you over, you pull over.

Do you have any thoughts on this elusive traffic law?

Here is the situation...about a year ago, I bought a new car. I put 1500.00 down, and rolled over a loan for 2700.00 from my last car and truck. The total cost of the car was around 10 grand, I borrowed about 13 or 14, not sure how much exactly. About a month ago, it was totalled. At the time of the loss, I still owed about 11500 on the car, the other insurance paid about 8500 on the car...leaving about 2500 or so on the loan. Will my Gap pay off the loan, or only part of it since I rolled over another loan into it? My insurance agent has not worked with Gap too much and isn't too sure, he said it would be a "learning expirience" for him!

I have a 95' ford escort and it only has 93,000 miles on it. When i first got the car it ran great but then one day me and my husband took it to Jiffy Lube to get the oil changed and we left and on our way home the check engine light came on. We pulled over and turned the car off and then it wouldn't start back, finally it did and we have been having so much trouble out of now. If we go somewhere it dies almost everytime. First the radio will go off and then it will start running really rough and the turn signals won't even come on the if we stop it just dies. When you try to start it back when you turn the key over it doesn't do anything sometimes it makes a clicking noise. I don't know what is wrong with it but we took it to auto zone and they did a battery and altenater check and said everything was fine so i have no clue. I would really appreciate all the help i can get. THANK You....

It happens at speed above 10 mph and seems to come from the rear of the vehicle. It sounds like a tea kettle and slightly increases in pitch with greater speed. The sound remains when coasting at speed in neutral with the engine shut off. Thanks for your help.

It bothers me when I am driving along at the posted speed limit and someone pulls out onto the road just as I am coming up to them. I had to slam on the brakes.

Is it normal for a alternator to use 5 or more amps of battery power at idol? I have a 90 amp alternator charging a 4D battery. The alternator is sucking around 5 amps of battery power at an idol. (500 rpm). I need to rev the engine to about 1000 rpm to excite the alternator, then run about 800 rpm just to get to 0 on the amp gauge. There is no other draw of power on the system. Pulley diameter is 2 1/2 in. (Alternator) 7 1/2 in. (Engine) Both battery and alternator are new.

My brakes squeak while im driving even though i dont have my foot on the brake. When i do step on the brakes the squeaking stops. Other machanics tell me that this is normal but i cant believe that for an 02' GMC YUKON. And the squeak is just getting worse. also ever time i have to stop hard theres a vibration in the brake, I know this has to do with ABS but sometimes im not even stopping that hard when it does this. One more thing,, im going through two tanks of gas a week, I only drive about 45 miles a day. ive tripped it and im only getting about 250 miles per tank. ive been told my manifold?needs adjusting, is this what i need and how much would all this stuff cost? Im in Kennesaw, Ga. anyone know of a machanic i can trust. Please help me out im kinda strapped for cash but i know i need this done. thanks for your time and effort that you put into answering this for me.
