Okay i just had the radiator, thermostat, hoses replaced and a flush and i also had an oil change..... like about 2 days ago but its still over heating.... also it drives rough and its shaking.....What do u think the problem is????....a auto shop told me that water is leaking in the oil and i need a valve job done....something like that but the first time i took it all i needed was to replace the radiator, thermostat, and hoses but its only been 2 days and i havent driven the car since i got it back from the shop .....Also they wanna charge me 1400 dollars to get it fixed..... Is it worth getting fixed or should i just buy a new engine???? How much do engines usually cost????? and what is the main thing i need to get fixed to make it stop overheating?????

I own a 2000 Lincoln LS V6 5 spd manual transmission. Had it for a year, and have yet to find another LS of any year with a manual tranny. Anyone else own one or have ever heard of any others out there?

I just bought a brand new car and want to keep it in top shape. It's an Acura TSX so the paint quality isn't as great as I would hope (susceptible to chips). I live in an apartment building so washing it out in the drive isn't really an option. I also don't want to go through machine washes so I'll probably look for a good detailer.

Anyway, I hate coming out to my nice car and seeing leaves, pollen, etc. on it (it's White Pearl by the way). Can someone recommend an easy way to wipe this off? I'd prefer wipes but haven't really seen any good ones. Looking at Meguiar's Quik Detailer and a microfiber cloth? Any suggestions?

Also, to keep my wax looking nice between waxing I was thinking about something like Meg's Quick Wax? Is this a good one? Tips on how to apply it properly?

Any general exterior care tips are welcome! Especially anything water free!

Thanks!

I've heard you can use two fuel tanks. One with normal diesel for starting and then switch over to the other with the (cheaper) cooking oil. Would you then need additives to stop the rings clogging up etc

an emissions control leak (small). im not sure of the exact code. they told me to get a new gas cap and i should be fine. so i did and the code came back on. i went back and had them turn it off twice and it is still coming back on. what does this mean and how much would it cost to fix it? thanks.

Hello, I have a 96 Jetta and last night while I was about 40 miles from home it crapped out on me. I was going up a slight hill (in 4th gear) and it started sort of jerking forward and back on me, I thought mabye I was going too slow for 4th gear so I put it in 3rd, and it did the same thing. I had to pull over. I tried many times to start it, every time it idled very rough before it eventually died... What could be causing this? I tried starting it while my friends looked under the hood and they said they saw a spark, any ideas? Is this going to be very expensive to fix?? Thanks for your help.

Does anybody know where to buy them cheaper than a Vauxhall dealer?
I am not mechanically minded so I have no idea how many would be needed. Vauxhall charge £71.00 to change them. How hard is it to replace them and do I need any special tools?

I have a 1990 ex 500. It used to run perfect, then I parked it for a couple of weeks to replace the flywheel because the battery wouldn't stay charged. But now it seems like the timing is off. I have a brand new battery, I have spark and I can smell gas but the engine is not turning over smoothly? Any help would really help.

My '88 buick regal has a tune up anf fuel injection cleaning last year. This year it started stalling so they replaced the idle control valve after lots of visit back and complaining. That was in february, the car at the end of June it started back up again. I took it someplace else was told the other place didn't do a tune up or used crappy parts that I needed another tune up. I had it done, car ran fine for 10 days then back to stalling. Took it someplace else again and they checked codes then reset computer, now it is idling fast and oil light came on but doesn't stay on. They think now it is the mass air flow sensor. I am getting very confused and frustrated. I need my car to drive my two girls around and it seems nobody can find the problem. Can somebody please help me and tell me if this part sounds right or could it be something else? Please help me soon.
