Well, I am 24.
Ok, so a year ago I took driving lessons and I failed the behind the wheel all three times. But it's not like I was prepared well enough to go take the behind the wheel. It was my paid instructor's "faith" in me...somehow both of them believed I was ready after maybe 15-20 hrs of practice. S they pressured me into taking the test and therefore Ihave failed. So after almost more than a year off...should I try again and find a better instructor? I think the past two people didn't really have the heart and patience to teach me and encourage me enough. All they wanted was the money.....And I admit...I was a little road scared but I know I can overcome it because I really want that damn license!

Where do I drain the engine coolant from? Is there some kind of plug underneath the car?

If possible I would like the specific location from somebody with experience...I don't want to unscrew something and get oil pouring out instead of water!

I need to remove the old coolant for a fresh topup with antifreeze.

It is a 1.2l ecotec 16v engine.

Why in the heck would you want your car to be loud? Like these motor heads that like their mufflers to sound loud. Is it cuz they want attention? I think a softer sounding car is a whole lot nicer.

I had a change of job recently which has resulted in me now wishing to dispose of my leased car.
I was reassured to know I had an Early Termination policy which covers the shortfall between the car's open market value and the outstanding finance - this cost me £17 per month.
However, when I called the finance company today, they said the insurance paperwork was in the post and I MAY be able to claim to have the car cleared of fianance and walk away.
The worrying word for me is MAY - I expected to cover this eventuality DEFINITELY.
I never received any early termination policy details either verbally or in writing.
I resigned from my previous job, wasn't dismissed or made redundant.
I cannot see any reason why this policy would not be paid out but now face an anxious wait.
Any thoughts?

Sat Navs are sometimes very unreliable but more importantly they NEED you to take your eyes off the road. Still they're legal. Mobile phones allow you to watch where you are going but they are ILLEGAL. It desn't add up to me. What do others think?

In my haynes manual it says that the parking break can only be tightened if I have rotors in the back. I have drums and it should be self adjusting but my cable is loose. How can I tighten it up by my self? I made the mistake of driving with it on once and I think this is why it is loose any feedback would be nice.

I wear vari-focal lenses and last year I reversed out of my drive straight into my sons car. I didn't even see the thing. It had been snowing and the car is bright red. I bumped it 6" over a snow rut. It was only then that I realised the extent of the blind spot vari-focals give. I then realised that at junctions I could barely focus on the oncoming traffic unless I was staring straight at it. I looked just like one of those nodding dogs! The fact that I was such a danger on the road (!) gave me such a fright that I immediately went to the Opticians and got myself a pair of single vision lenses to drive with. I am now back to my brilliant reversing skills. Am I the only one who will admit to this problem with these particular lenses?

I have a Rockford-Fosgate cd/mp3 player in my integra, and its only a few years old. The radio started being weird lately. It will be coming in fine (FM), perfectly clear, and then all of a sudden it cuts out and goes to static and i cant get any stations at all, nothing but pure static. My antenna is up the whole time. Then after a few minutes the signal will suddenly be back 100%. It doesnt fade in and out, its just there and then gone. I live in a big city with lots of stations near by. What could be causing this?
