Cars & Transportation - 4 November 2006

I have a 95 ford taurus that I have to fill the radiator often...like every couple of days. I have looked for leakage under the car and do not see any. Fan works fine, there is no coolant in the oil, no white smoke, I bought a new radiator cap. Next step is the thermostat. yesterday with the old radiator cap, the radiator cap was cold when i overheated. Today I did not overheat but the radiator cap felt warm. Seems that the coolant is disappearing while driving. Can this leak out only when driving? Also when I walk around to the front after engine has been running...It smells hot, I can smell the coolant.Any suggestions?

I have a Suzuki SV650S, 2002 model, a parallel import that has recently been fitted with Datatool Alarm/Immobilizer System 3 and since installation I've been unable to start the bike.
I though perhaps the battery was not up to scratch, as I'd let the bike sit for almost a week after having the alarm installed. I removed the battery after putting the bike in service mode and fitted a brand new Yuasa battery, fully charged by the motorcycle shop, but the bike still won't start.
The light's on, gear's in neutral, side stand's off: I press the starter button, I can hear the wirring sound of the starter motor, but it's as if the cylinders don't fire. I've tried start pushing the bike, but it doens't make any difference.
I've already checked the Datatool website for any info on this problem, but without success.
Any idea what else to check?

Okay, here's the deal. I have been paying on my car since 2001, and only owe $1600. They want to repo since I haven't paid a full pmt since aug. I live in TX, what are my rights. The finance co refuses to work with me. Do they have to? Can I sell my car even though I don't have the title. They, of course, want the full amount. If I can send them the amount past due & one extra month, do they have to work with me & accept those payments? I can't send the full 1600, but I can send 1/2. Any ideas?

My brother was caught recently driving without insurance.The car he was driving was not his and the owner of the car had told him that he had included him on his insurance which however turned to be not so when he was stopped by the police.This is a second offence.He was fined £270 and got 8points this year for the first offence.Is there anything he can do about his second offence and what kind of penalty is he looking at.

This can't be normal....I just got my oil changed a month ago and it is already low...and I am not at all near the mileage for time to go back in....same thing happened the last time I took it in. Also, I wonder if the kind of oil I am using could be a factor? I live in Germany on a very small military base...and where I take the car in...the ladies at the register have no idea what to recommend for the tyoe of oil...I have to go and pick it off the shelf myself...last time the lady was like, "Ummm....I thik that one looks good!" And the mechanics never say anything to me, so? I guess I am spoiled since I am used to pulling into a place like Jiffy Lube and having more that enough help and experts. (car is American spec)

I recently trade in a vehicle for a truck, the dealership pay off the car, before I could get finance. However, the dealership refuses to give me the car back, they actually went back to the finance company and ask for the money back. It's been two month now, and now the finance company want to hit me with repossession. But the car is still sitting on the dealership lot. The dealership hid and refuses to give me the car. So now, I'm looking at repossession been on my credit. Legally, there is no paper trail, the first documentation was today, since June 2006. Who's in the right, and who's in the wrong?

When I try to go into third gear the engine cuts out...I have had a new carb, new spark plug and have done an oil change, but still have the same problem. It appears to be starved of fuel...but I don't think that it is. What can it be?

I've got an old car with a rusting undercarriage. Just noticed 1/4 of the tank leaked out over the past day or so. Is Canadian Tire reasonable? Should I just crawl under and stick some duct tape there?
