Want to try and raise some finance to become a pilot but need to know how much I can earn so I can work out how long its going to take to pay back. Think I need about £45,000 to get a full commercial license.

The dealership said that new BMW's need topping up with oil. I think this is rubish. I have owned 3 new BMW's and I ahve never had this problem before - unless this is something to do with V8's?

It might be the sensor though - it keeps going off telling me that I am below the one litre minimum. I then put a liter in and the info tells me that the sump is now full!

The car hsa already been in once - they said they replaced the sensor but who knows.

Is this a problem with V8's - or is it a software problem on the 5 series?

Any help would be apreciated.

Okay so here's the situation

I recently bought a 2000 ford mustang from a small-time dealership. It is in great condition overall, but there is one problem. The previous owner lowered the car so it is about 2 inches off the ground.

So when im driving my exhaust scrapes the ground (when i go over bumps..even the smallest bumps)

Last night i took a look at it and it turns out the whole exhaust system is simply hanging..theres no support brackets or anything. How expensive would it be to get the brackets to support it?

Also..how expensive would it be to raise the car 2 inches or so? The previous owner seemed to have cut a leaf or two of the springs, making it shorter, so im gonna need completely new springs.

Serious answers only please. Thanks!

I bought a 1996 Dodge Grand Caravan that needs the erg sensor valve replaced. My "check engine" light stays on. I was told it can be cleaned (the erg sensor valve) or it may have to be replaced. My car will not pass the emissions test if I do not have it fixed. I have already put a lot of money into the car and have a very limited funds right now to have it fixed. I don't even know where the erg valve is even located or how to clean it myself!

Thank you,

LB

ok here is the deal...i purchased a 89' jeep wrangler and it runs great...until now, i am having a issue getting it into gear when the vehicle is stopped at a light or stop sign. When i am rolling i have no issues as it shifts smooth into every gear...is it just a bas slave cylinder or clutch.

Thanks in advance...

I had a friend install a radio in my car. She hook it up so that the radio stayed on even with the car off. My clock was always on and I was also able to charge my cell phone with the car being off. I couldn't do any of this before she install the new radio. She said she hook it up to the batter. Well, when I went to start my car1 day after installation the car wouldn't start. I think the way she hook it up weakened the battery. Please tell me if any of you have ever heard of hooking a radio up to directly to the battery. Why would you want to play a raido with the car off? What if I were to forget to turn radio off?
