Cars & Transportation - 29 June 2006

I own a 1979 HZ Kingswood, and I need to replace the motor in it as the current motor has had it, but done over 400,000 Kms. It is a standard 202 motor. I was told by a friend that I could buy a new non-genuine 202 motor to put into the Kingswood, as he said it is possible to buy new non-genuine Holden 3.8L V8 and 5.0L V8's for Commodores. If so, how and where would I go about this?

To make a long story short, I let my sister borrow a car of mine. She's had it now for about 2 months, since her car is down. This month she only paid me half of the money and now Im having difficulty in reaching her as if she is avoiding me. I know where she lives and want to get my car back. The problem is this, I only have a valet key left....Can I get into the 2005 infiniti FX35 without making the alarm go off with just a valet key? Or should I just order a whole new set of keys with the alarm fob attached and then take the car back? How long does it take to get a new set of keys made anyway? Thanks for your help..

OK. I'm starting to hate my car, but here's the current story.

My car has 95,000 miles on it. I've been wearing right brake pads at an abnormal rate since about 50,000 miles. I've also been losing brake fluid since about this point. 20,000 miles ago, I purchaced a lifetime waranty plan for said pads. This morning, I noticed the oh so familiar scraping. Took it in for waranty work. They told me I need to replace the caliper. Does this sound reasonable? Any sites to support it?

I just bought a brand new car- its beautiful and black. I'm a girl so I don't know much about car soap, wax, etc. What should I use to keep my car looking really nice? I want to keep the paint nice and shiny and protect it from the sun.

Here is the problem.

Astro Van, 95, 4.3L, 224,000 miles. Original engine, transmission, timing chain, etc.

Engine chokes, stalls, sputters, and vibrates when the accelerator is pressed fully while in drive. When in neutral and fully depressing the trottle the engine does not sputter or run rough. It stalls in all this in all speeds D, 3, 2, 1. Simply pressing rapidly the accelerator will do every time.

If you barely or gently press the accelerator it will attain a good speed and hold it. Seems to run normal as long as acclerator is not pressed over 1/4 of stroke.

Fuel pump was changed at 180,000.
Ox Sensor at 205,000.

No codes showing, no check engine light.

Seems to me like if it were the fuel pump or the coil it would do it in neutral as well.

ANYBODY got a clue what this beast is telling me.

I've been to MTV's pimp my ride site and it is a game car not a real car. I use to know a website that would let you customize the REAL car online but I forgot it. I think it's something like www.goodwheels.com or something like that.
