Cars & Transportation - 10 November 2006

I have always had rather boring small cars e.g. pegueots and VW's, and am looking for somthing a bit different now. I would reaqlly like a Defender but am worried about running costs and increased tax due to enviromental issues. So I what I would really like is an older bigger car which would be cheap and really rialable somthing like an old rover 400 or a mercedes 190E, can anyone help me, suggestions on a rialable cheap four door salon cars from around the 1990's but somthing a bit different would be very helpfully thanks

A small repair shop I use for all my repairs tried to replace my heater core on my 1995 Ford F-150 pickup truck, the cable controlling heater door needs a special tool D91T-18532-A and we can not find or ford dealers will not sale us tool. Need way around this or way of getting tool. It releases the cable so the core can be removed and replaced.

Every November my dad religiously brings the car battery in to charge it, he's done this since I can remember. He's got a newish car now and everyone tells him that it's not necessary these days, but to convince him I need to know actually why not. He's argument is how does he know it's not going to go flat, if anyone can give me a simple answer so I can pass onto him. battery

whats with the witch hunt on 4x4 drivers? everyone blames co2 or drivers are idiots but do they really understand 4x4s. i drive a 4x4 freelander 98% of its drive goes to front wheels only like most 4x4when on road its as good as 2 wheel drive (other makes are selectable on/off 4wd) most put out less co2 than old classic cars or some new cars, as far as i see it evey one has the right in this country to say what they want and drive what they want! i use mine off road and wading though the country lanes that flood and often tow out the ppl that moan about 4x4s when there car dies in the middle of the floods.As to the drivers being idiots or cant drive some are most aint i would guess same as any make of car drivers i have seen all cars being driven by idiots at times,bmws,mercs,fords,pugs,citrons its the driver not the car!

Today I had to make a hard tire screeching stop to avoid a rear end collision. About an hour later I was on my way to a friends house I heard hissing from my brake pedal when I applied pressure. At first there was no problem but I realized that more and more it was getting harder to stop when it eventually came to a point where (after I decided to cancel and come back home) the only way my truck would stop was when I applied a great amount of pressure since the pedal was hard to push down. Thankfully I made it home but I was wondering what the problem could be and if it's something I could fix on my own and if not would this be a big repair since I have little money to work with here.

I have a 2000 Toyota Solara SLE, w/ daytime running lights. Recently in a front end accident, the shopped fixed the damage. But when I got it back, I pressed the alarm arm/disarm button.....and my lights didnt flash. Later on (after I was pulled over and recieved a ticket) the police officer pointed out my tailights (red) were out. I walked around the car, and the front signal lights were out too.

But the signal lights (front and rear) both work when signaling, just not while driving. Same goes for the brake light, that works, but isn't on while driving.

Any experts on here with electrical knowledge or similar problem?

I'm scheduled to take the car back to the shop, but that's a week away, and Im trying to resolve the problem before that, so I dont get another ticket. Thanks.
