Cars & Transportation - 2 September 2006

I am trying to change the brakes on my car and I can't get the brake calipers to go back in so they can fit over my new pads. I have been trying to use a C clamp but it is not budging. Is there something that I need to do to relieve the pressure? Any helpful hints?

Driving it recently....check engine light comes on...

Car is like thumping as you accelerate (its automatic)...just can't really accelerate...Of course its Saturday night, everything is closed, and its labor day weekend, so nothing will be open til prolly tuesday?

So, I came here to see what it could be...could it be the serpentine belt?

Throw out some ideas and possible damage to my wallet.

Thanks in advance

it was a rainy day today while i was driving down 355. the car infront of me abruptly stopped and i couldent bring my vehical to a stop since the road was slippery. i rear ended her (an elderly women) on the left side of her car while my vehical is damaged on the front right side, smashing the headlights. i was going around 30mph on a 40mph street with around 20 feet between my car and hers.
she abruptly stopped infront of a narrow enterance to let another car come out and pass. when we got out of the car she refused to call the police and we excanged information.

how should i report this to my insurance company and is there any thing i should know since this was my faut.

i have a 1996 ford contour and when i hook a set of jumping cables to the battery it starts but when i take the cables of the battery it dies, the car has been sitting in my garage for about a year. i hooked the cables up 5 times and after disconnecting the cables the car dies every time. the first time it stayed running for a couple minutes after that it died right after disconnecting the cables. could the car sitting in the garage cause the battery to die and could the problem be the battery even after starting with the cables. please write back asap.

I often see trains at crossings go by with two or three locomotives at the front. Are there occassions when more than one of them is pulling? And, if so, are they syncronized to pull together, or do they simply pull individually?

I hear a whirring sound for about 30 seconds after I power down the Toyota Prius. Anyone knows what that is? Is it a problem?
