Cars & Transportation - 24 September 2006

I'm 23 years old and going for my Behind the Wheel test at the Hawthorne DMV in Torrance on Monday. My question pertains to that of needing insurance. What I wanted to know is do I (as the person who is going to be taking the test. Right now I have no insurance on myself whatsoever.) need to have any type of insurance before I take the test, or does the car itself have to be insured? Right now my mother wont let me use her car for this test, but a friend of mines who is insured is letting me use his (he'll be going with me when I go to take it. What I wanted to know, would this be enough to allow me to take the test, or do I literally need to be under the vehicle insurance to be able to use the car for the test itself? I was looking at the question posted here

And it seems that as long as the vehicle is insured, then there is no problem, but I wanted to get it all cleared regardless.

Thanks to whoever can answer

My front-right tire has deflated twice in the last month, 3 weeks ago and noticed it again yesterday. But this time, there is about 10-15 pounds of pressure left in it. Can I safely drive a mile to the gas station and blow the tire up?

I take mine in two weeks, and I want to know the kind of things the testers are looking for. Do they pass you if you have trouble parallel parking? Is it easy, hard? What?

I ask this as there are a large number of untaxed cars in my area and the police will do nothing about it as they say they have to see them parked on a public highway. The DVLA cannot trace these cars as they are not registed to the same address as the keepers/owners. I do not wish to see someone killed and then find the insurers will not look after their family - assuming these scum have insurance of course.

I think it's to big to transport, but if they fly it there, would that mean that plant has to be located on an airfield? or do they just ship it out in pieces, and assemble it on it's destination airfield?

I have a 1998 GMC Sierra with a 4.3L V6, but it's impossible to find a Cold air intake that's designed to fit this engine. Can a cold air intake designed for a 5.7L, 5.3L, or a 6.0L V8 work?

This is on a 1998 Buick Regal. On this model the turn signal bulbs are always on (solid no-blinking) when the vehicle is running.
Problem with front turn signals. Passenger side burns out at the base of the bulb within one day. Driver side blinks slowly, or doesn't blink at all (intermittant). Driver side dash indicator is dim, or sometimes doesn't light at all. Any suggestions will be appreciated.

I bought a used 98' car five years ago that's now paid off and is in good working condition right now. I feel I'm good at keeping it maintained. It hasn't needed too much work but when it does it is expensive.

Right now, I'm saving the money that I would have used as a car payment and just paying for repairs as needed. I could keep this up forever if possible. Or when does it make sense to finally get another car?

I recently bought a 1997 Cinquecento, its a nice little runner, all in good shape, except the bonnet/hood catch doesnt work properly.
The main catch works fine (the one you pull the lever on the dash to release), it's the secondary manual catch that you unhitch with your hand, that's not working right.
At the moment i have to push it open using a spanner.
If i don't fix it before the next MOT, it'll fail :-(
It's a fairly simple looking wire mechanism, it looks like its probably bent out of shape, but as i have no point of reference (ie a photo), i dont know what i need to do to fix it.
The Haynes manual i have is no help!!

Would anyone be able to take a couple of photos of the wire manual release catch on the underside of the bonnet and email it to me please?

Your help would be much appreciated.

My email addy is angelbeat78@yahoo.co.uk

When i try and start it it makes a loud click and sucks the juice out of the battery. I think there is something jammed in the flywheel but what do you think?
