Flushing the window between the panels of my car door in exasperation doesn't seem prudent. Could you suggest anything less invasive so I can avoid the mechanic? Thanks!

we used to pay $100 to store our camper every winter. brother built a large barn and said we could store it there for $100. i think this is wrong and really ticks me off. how would you feel about this?

My 2003 Vibe idles low at stoplights and shakes like the engine is going to die (although it doesn't and usually the RPM's move up and down a bit, but always stay below 1000). One mechanic has said this is because its in need of a tuneup (it has 40k on it, bought it at 18k, have done regular maintenance since then, but no tuneups), another says more than likely the fuel injection system is dirty, and that the tuneup is out of the question at 40k. Who is right?

My car has 97,000 miles. It has had regular oil changes. The check transmission light came on and I filled the fluid and it all leaked out.

I bought a 1500 watt heater for my 83 GMC pickup and installed it where the old heater was and it looked good, but it turned itself off the first night so my truck was cold in the morning, and I put in on today just to see if it worked and it got hot and was pushing hot coolant to the engine but two hours later it shut off and the truck was cold. Now the tank won't get hot and I am worried the element burned out. I connected it with the arrow pointing up so the coolant would flowing to the engine (water heater?) and the hose was coming from what looked like the cab of the truck where the heating switch would be. Does this make sense? The old tank heater worked for years so I'm not sure why this one is having problems.

I drove away with the gas pump in my gas tank. I returned to the gas station and they made me fill out paperwork. I've received a letter from BP that says they will estimate repairs and send me a bill. Does anyone no how much this will cost? I realize it was a stupid move but...geeeezh! The thing had an automatic breakaway feature on it, so there didn't seem to be much damage.

I just got a 1950 Chevy 3100....it's needs some work (but thats why I got it)

Where should I start? HOW should I start?

I was thinking about doing the interior first (IMO it needs the most work) The engines pretty good (needs a new battery box, etc...)

Any suggestions? I'm going to do a full restoration...

Hey, can someone please help me either figure out how to fix the vacuum system on my heater in my 83 dodge pickup truck or either direct me to a good book that may help (or website)? It's just not working ... the vents won't close or open. Please help!

have just replaced the rear end and checked all mounts engine and transmission, noise is not consistent with engine or wheel speed, just comes and goes as it wants to. sounds like a large rock or number of rocks about 1 per second, hitting the under side of the vehicle. will not make the noise on a lift. it will only do it when you drive it
