I have the one tire off and the 2 bolts, usually used to release the caliper are off. I can not get the caliper to come off of the rotor to get to the brake pads and replace them. Am I missing something? Do I need to take the whole caliper housing off as well?

This is why I drive my PT Cruiser. It took me 5 minutes to change my pads!

Went to do my brakes on the ol' banger today, needed a 7mm allen key. Trust me to have every size going but ... NO 7MM!!!
Went down to Halfords, no 7mm, B&Q no 7mm, Local garage and guess what not a 7mm key in sight.
Why do fords make cars with 7mm allen bolts when no bugger sells them, is this to tempt me into taking it to a Ford Garage? COS IT WONT WORK !

PS anyone got a 7mm allen key they can lend me? :-)

I didn't realize my registration had expired until the cop pulled me over and handed me a $54 ticket for driving unregistered car. Expired in June! Thanked him for not towing away the car and drove home to park the car (since it was sunday ....had to wait for monday to renew it)..guess what? just two blocks away from my house, another cop pulled me over (this is another county) and gave me another ticket for the same thing despite showing him the ticket I got earlier and explaining to him that I was heading home to park the car! Can I pay twice for the same thing? Both officers said they were helping me by not having the car towed away...because the car should not be driven or be parked in a public street. So, what the heck r u supposed to do? fly/ship it? I could not pay it online because I didn't have the renewal form which usually has the PIN to pay online. Am i expected to pay both tickets?

Without the benefit of a mechanic, what items can I inspect visually under the hood to figure out if the car is a lemmon? And on the test drive, what's the best way to put the car through its paces?

I have found a pretty nice used car, but the cigarette odor inside, is terrible.
Anybody know if the residual smoke odor can be eliminated? This is the only thing that I have reservations about.

About a month ago the red STOP light on my Xsara started flashing on and off, but after a minute stopped flashing. The car was running fine and I was miles from home so just kept driving. In the last month the STOP light comes on whenever it feels like it, but never when I am on motorways or fast roads when I am doing 80mph or more. The car is still driving fine. The only thing I can think maybe a problem is the handbrake. I was told 3 months ago when my car was being MOT'd, that the handbrake needed some attention very soon. Which is one reason why I am reluctant to take my car in. I don't want to fork out money for the handbrake - I just won't park on a hill. The light by the temperature gage also comes on at the same time, but the water level in the radiator is fine. Whilst it seems to drive fine and this light keeps flashing, I just think I will leave it.

I would really appreciate any advice.

Thanks

We just got a pretty big trailer, and when pulling it up hills on our first trip, things started out fine, but then we lost power. I changed the fuel filter, things were fine for almost 200 miles. Then, going up a hill again yesterday, we lost power. I changed the fuel filter again, paranoid that I had gotten bad gas, and it worked again. I really don't think I got bad gas, as I had run two good tanks of fuel through. Could it be the fuel pump? This has the frame mounted electric pump- is it as easy to change, with the right tool, as my friend says? Thanks!!!

I want them to be all inclusive for anything someone might buy at an auto parts store and easily navigable so that people can easily find any part they need. I know there are many categories, but i want to create around 10 categories to navigate. Thanks!

Our volunteer rail outfit operates only in yard limits at restricted speed, so I and the engineer call the switch points and signal aspects back and forth. Is this done on the class 1 roads as well ? I wonder if we are more inclined to follow this proceedure because we don't mark up everyday and in spite of having FRA rules certification/rules classes - we are still amatures...very careful amatures I would add.
