When I was learning to drive I was taught to use my signals...it is second nature - I will even signal if no one else is around! It amazes me that so many people in Southern California do not feel the need to let any other driver know their intention...(it drives me crazy!!!) I am a foreigner who is well-travelled and I have to admit that Southern California is home to some of the WORST drivers in the country!

the inlet valve on my clio broke due to water leak in the head which corroded the inlet valve that seized and broke, (not cam belt) the engine was idling when it went, and although there is a small dent in the piston face everything seems ok, apart from that the effected piston is now 0.75mm lower than the other three pistons when at top of the cylender, and when turning the engine over by hand there is a tight spot when all four pistons are midway in the bore. the engine turns perfectly on the starter with no knocking sounds,or signs of binding. can I chance buying just a new head or will the slight damage to the no 3 piston make it better to replace the whole engine, the car is 1991 clio diesel, with 70k, and I live in Spain, where old cars cost a fortune! but spares are cheap.

not everyone has a car but all parents should have booster seats for child safety if your not in the uk this legislation doesnt effect you - i know that some local councils are providing some seats for taxis doing school runs but not all - this is an issue about saving lives

Hi everybody. I have a question regarding the use of unleaded gasoline in older cars. I have a 1994 Mazda Protege I bought back in 1997 and because of sentimental attachment reasons I would like to keep this car. Back then leaded gasoline was not phased out in my country, and this particular car is a carbuerator engine, no cat convertor, designed to run on leaded gasoline. Back in early 2000s, leadd gasoline was phased out in accordance with the EU laws, and now it is impossible to find leaded gasoline anywhere. I have used unleaded gasoline in the car a few times and did not notice any difference in the way it runs.

I was wondering if it is OK to use unleaded gasoline in this type of a car, designed for leaded gasoline ?

the color of the car is silver and the watchman used a cloth to clean card without dampening it with water and the dust that was on the car caused a lot of scratches. If I go to the car painters they will charge me a lot. Would appreciate someone's assistance to get rid off these scratches.
thanking you.

I recently backed out of a parking space. I did look both directions, I just took my foot off the break did not apply the gas, rolled about 4 feet and hit the left rear fender of a car that was behind me. When turning in the accident report I found out that my insurance had been cancelled in Sept of 2005.for non-payment. I have been insured with the same company for about 40 years. Only one other accident. Last year I hit some black ice and skidded into a barrier. No other car was involved. Damage to my car ended up around $3000.oo Has anyone had the same situation happen to them?

Sometimes when I make a sharp turn, usually a left turn, the car acts as if it isnt getting enough of gas and slows down. It takes a minute once I put on the gas again to get it back into gear after the turn. What could be the problem?

how about we find if it is positive or negative charge then fit a vehicle with the opposite force of gravity (un-gravity)? then we can float our cars on air using no fuel but by just opposing the earth's own gravity?

How Many Of you Think EVERY 4 wheeler driver, in order to obtain a drivers license ought to have to ride in a semi for a minimum of 2 weeks to be educated on the way trucks run, turn, stop, ect.... It would be a eye opening experience and I believe there would be alot les STUPID 4 wheeler drivers do the STUPID things they do!!!!
