I have a 1999 Ford Escort XR2. I was going about 30mph and then all of a sudden it just started slowing down on me and came to a complete stop! It felt like I had run out of gas but I have more than half a tank. One person told me it might be a fuel pump? Any help would be great so I am not screwed when I get to the mechanic.

Talking to a mate who goes off-roading with his Defender. Told him how many blinkered people on here think 4X4's are designed to be used only by people who need them for going off road or farmers. His reply was that he didn't know any farmers or off roaders who used an Audi TT, a Jaguar X-type, a Superu Imprezza or one of several other 4X4's.

I have a high interest rate loan on a truck, I am paying the payments on time and I am thinking about getting something else with a better interest rate. But I found out that car dealerships and finance companies have participation splits when they sell a car and complete the financing. I wanted to know what that means and am I paying for it. My rate is 24.9% I know that is high but my wife and I had not choice due to a loss in job. We are ok with it but really need to make a change now. Any advice would help. We have stable income and credit scores between 540 and 587, all of our credit cards and car payments and other bills have been on time for the past 12 months. We have some old judgments that maybe total $3500.00; one is a medical bill and the other a membership we never used at a discount supply place. Thank you for your answers in advance.

My car has to be multi-functional... I need it for motorway trips every couple of months and running around the city daily. I also like smaller cars and need to keep insurance and fuel costs down. Any ideas for little cars with a little style that can manage long distance/high speed travel?

This morning, I had made it all the way to work and in the parking lot, after applying the rear brake, the engine died and the rear tire would not turn. Then I let it sit for an hour, it started right up and brake had released.

EX: I brought my 94 BMW 740iL in for a paint job and windshield replacement. The car is MINT! However, when the windshield was replaced, they did NOT put the Insp. sticker back on (it was a month old). They told me I was going to need 4 new tires (the ones on have only 11,000 miles) and rear brakes. Yeah, Riiiiiiggggghhhttttt. I took it to where I got it inspected and THEY replaced the sticker (nothing wrong with my baby) I went BACK to the dealer and they didn't CARE. I'm PO'd and very very sick of being taken advantage of just because I've got a nice car and female. Any mechanics out there care to discuss this??

Hello everyone,

My 1992 Buick LeSabre does not blow any heat anymore, (the fan works but no heat). The coolant levels are fine and I was told that I should try to flush the heater core. How do you do this? I know that I need to find the 2 lines going through my firewall, however I cant seem to find them. What do they look like?

Thanks for your help

I know this is a very cheap price, but I also know there are lots of high mileage vehicles out there that still have a lot of miles left in them. I just want to know some pointers as I have never bought a car or truck this cheap.

Heya, everybody.
I just got my motorcycle endorsement a couple months ago after taking the MSF course. I am now in the process of looking at motorcycles, cruisers to be specific. The models I'm looking at are:
1. Yamaha Virago 250
2. Kawasaki Vulcan 500
3. Honda Nighthawk or Rebel
I'd like a slightly bigger bike to begin with but $$$ is a big issue, as I am a college student.
On the bikes I've listed above, I'd like to know:
1. Comfortable cruising speed and range (living in Montana, I want a bike that I can drive 120-200 miles at a time at highway speed (75 mph)). Also, is it comfortable to drive on the freeway?
2. Average MPG that the bike gets.
3. Any other specifics that you think I should know.
I will mainly be using this bike for short trips (50 miles or less), but as I said, I'd like to be able to take it on longer trips now and then.
I'm a taller guy, almost 6'6" and weigh about 160 lbs, so if these bikes are really going to be an absolute killer for me to ride, tell me. THX.
