Cars & Transportation - 22 August 2006

My son has a 1988 Grand Prix. The other day the power steering went out on him while driving on the interstate. After a got to his destination he let it sit overnight. The following morning the power steering was fine for a while but then went out again. He said the fluid level is fine but has a frothy appearance.

If so, what happened. I have a problem with my car and am in the process of asking GM to buy it back. I just want to know what to expect.

I will try to start it, the ignition turns over with no sound ,there is still power from the battery. A friend of mine "sparked the cellinoid" and something clicked and the car started right up. A few days later the car won't start again. what can it be?

My brother's car, 94/5 UK spec Escort LX - 1.6L Zetec, 5sp box, totally original apparently.

Issues started immediately - he drove 25 miles home from place of purchase & then had trouble shifting out of 5th & 4th gears. I initially warned him / mum (who... "helped" with the purchase) there could be a problem e.g. oil level needing immediate attention, but still he's gone on a long trip (~300 miles in total at 50+ mph) without touching it. Now it won't go into 3rd gear....

Tried to open allen bolt to check / top up level, but haven't the tools (about to go out and buy an 8mm allen bit for my socket wrench). Investigated linkage instead - seemed a little out of line (fixed it) but otherwise fine. All other gears a little stiff but perfectly functional.

If one driving wheel is jacked up off the ground, the synchro for 3rd works - i.e. you push it against the position and the wheel spins, suggesting the gear is still fine, but can't be selected.

What the blue blazes is going on? :-) MP

..to slow speeding motorists?In built up areas ,balloon like devices
that pop up from the road in the shape of kids( which leave no marks on your car) but record your number plate via a sensor.The balloons only pop up if a nearby sensor senses speeding.A league table of the most balloons hit with the driver's details is then published in the local newspaper.
