I have a 1999 Ford Ranger and we had our Pioneer car stereo stolen out of it (they broke the window) and left us with open wires. We'd like to install a new one, but need a wiring diagram. Anyone know where to get one ?

I have a Peugeot 106 Diesel with a TUD5 engine and MA5 gearbox. Almost every time that I select second gear the gearbox crunches before it engages the gear. It only seems to happen when the revs are above idle speed and only happens in second gear.

The thrust bearings are noisy on the clutch but I am not sure if this is related. I think it may be a worn gear cog but was wondering if anyone has had a similar problem and how they fixed it.

A guy is selling one for only $20K with only 25K miles.

It gets 9 miles to a gallon.

My work is 25 miles each way = 50 miles or 5.5 gallons per day.

So it would cost me $18 of gas each day for work. My Honda cost me about $5.50 per day.

Is it worth it?

I'll make my question as brief as possible..

i got into accident, my fault, car is not totalled, i brought it to the body shop my insurance told me to take it to (so its a certified shop by the insurance), driverside headlight busted, hood, bumper, driver side fender.. car is scion tC.

got the car last 2 weeks ago, i noticed the driver side fender and headlight is uneven.. it left a gap between headlight and bumper and they are telling me its the bumper.. so they are trying to push it up.. and use a bracket...... i know the fact the fender and headlight is uneven... very faulty.. the light at night is not even as well!...

im pissed my car has 3500miles on it.. never got oil changed and its screwed.. still 4 years to pay for it.. ruined!

shop was NORMANDIN CHRYSLER JEEP at san jose CA

The gas guage on my thunderbird (1989) doesnt work right. after going down a dirt road, the guage reads completely full. eventually (hours or days later) it works again. i cannot find the sending unit on the tank. do i have to drop the gastank to get to it? my Hanes manual was very unspecific to where the sender was located. it said it was "under the car". so if someone could help, that would be cool....

Ok so my dad has taught me to drive once just to prepare me for drivers ed, the first time was a year ago and the second today. I thought I would do fine because it was my second time, but I didn't I got nervous and froze up, I did ok but my dad had to switch seats with me and show me what to do twice. He was patient with me but I still felt like I did horrible, I know it was my second time driving but I expected to do fine because I did fine the first time, I'm have problems on turning and straightening out so that I'm in the same lane, any advice? Also how can I be calmer and relaxed while driving?

I am looking to buy a car soon. I want a convertible. I want it to be functional, and what I mean by that is: One, I want people to be able to (comfortably) sit in the backseat. And, two, it want to be about to drive it around, alot, so it needs to have good gas milege. Also, I would like to not spend over $15,000, or not much over.
Does anyone have any ideas on a make and model that would be good for what I am looking for??

Hello,
The alarm keeps going off on my Sorento. I believe it is that my keyless remote entry needs a new battery. Where can I find one of those (12 V) and are they covered under Kia's warranty?

Also, my side step bar is loose. I looked under the car to tighten the bolt but it is housed under something and I cannot get to it. Any suggestions about tightening the bar or if this is covered under the warranty?

Thank you!
