First of all, the water pump is that hard to change. The pump itself is only 59.99 , but the dealership wants to charge 423.00 to fix it. I am not sure that it is even the pump, it is leaking. Could be the gasket. Not sure until we get it apart. But they want 175.00 for taken it apart.
ok second question is the compressor and cluch. to the A/C i do not think that the compressor is bad but the cluch makes a bad sound. When i have the A/C or heat on. But when it is off it makes no sound at all.
If anyone could help that would be great.
And before you say go to another dealership I checked 2 and just about the same price.

I have tried Dawn and Tide with hot water, WD40, and carpet cleaner. I thought I had it. I was wrong. Please help me it is so bad i can taste it when i get in.

No reactive answers here, I'm serious: when growing up, I remember there was this tough, cool image to Harley bike riders. But this day and age, it seems like not only are there Harley Davidson stores everywhere, but Harley riders all over the place when you're on the road.

I'm not knocking it: some of my good neighbors have been Harley enthusiasts. I'm just asking if the whole Harley Davidson phenomenom has become somewhat oversaturated and, I dunno, cliche, for lack of a better word. When I was growing up, the bikes and the riders were kindof rare, and there was a cool mystique to it all. And now? It's just an overly common sight.

Thoughts? I'm not looking for angry replies here, just some thoughtful comments.

I know scooters are fairly slow--most under 40 miles per hour. Is that safe for a child as a passenger?

92: The horn. Use only while your vehicle is moving and you need to warn other road users of your presence. Never sound your horn aggressively. You MUST NOT use your horn

while stationary on the road
when driving in a built up area between the hours of 11.30 pm and 7.00 am
except when another vehicle poses a danger.

I think it's because they have less road awareness than men.
A woman will quite happily drive in front of you when she is in a queue of traffic moving nowhere, preventing you from turning right out of a junction and which would have no effect on her position in the queue of traffic whatsoever.
I genuinely don't think they don't do it to be rude, it's just that they are a bit dim when it comes to driving.
What do you think?

Upon inspection of the vehicle the mechanic decided that he needed to take the transmission apart to look at the clutch and replace some pads. I also needed a new timing belt and I would like for him to replace the belt while he is taking everything apart is that possible?
