I brought the vehicle to another place and they stated that before they could perform the oil they noticed that the oil pan was stripped. Who do I believe or trust the former or the latter.

1988 suzuki katana 600cc: rear calipers occasionally lock up pretty good, more frequently in colder weather. Ive blead them out and put new brake fluid in. sprayed brake cleaner on the calipers. spread the calipers apart manually. but it always seems to lock back up after used. if i ride the bike for around 10min it usually lays off. but id like to fix the problem...any suggestions???

I have a 1997 Pontiac Grand AM SE. For a while the key would stick. when i would park and put it into park and turn the key the motor would shut off but the key would go all the way down to where i could pull it out and the lights and the display lights would stay on. Finally one day I could not get the key out at all! I looked around and purchased an ignition lock w/ keys that would fit this car. (it is an automatic) but then someone told me that it wouldnt work if we put it in bc it is something that has to be done at a shop bc of a security thing, it supposedly has to be programmed or something. but a friend of mine said that is not true that is only for fords. and if i can put it in myself, how do i take out the old one? we looked at it and cant figure it out! my friend needs a diagram showing how or something and ive searched all over online and cant find anything that helps him! please tell me anything you can about this and if you have any other questions feel free to email me!

When this happens, I have to disconnect the positive lead to the battery to stop the motor from turning. The engine is not running yet because I have a stuck float and needle in the carb since it sat for a long time without being run. But it fires up when I squirt a little gas into the carb, but then dies out again. The positive battery cable gets really hot when the motor does not stop turning. Any ideas on what it can be?

Maintenance Required light is merely a reminder for the oil change right? I went to jiffylube for the oil change about one or two months ago but this light is on. Do you have any idea why it's doing that? (maybe i forgot to reset the meter?)

I just bought a 1985 f-350 dually with a 351W I got the truck very cheap but had to Jump it to get it home. It ran about 80 miles with the headlights on after we jumped it just fine. But as soon as we got home and turned it off it would not crank at all with out jumping it for about 10-15 min. I drove it agian today about 70miles after jumping it and again it ran just fine and i put a different battery on it and after running it I shut it off and try to crank it agian and it has nothiing with out jumping it. I believe the alternator has to be ok because of it holding up 80 miles with the headlights on bright along with all the running lights. So possibly the regulator (sp)??? Please help!!!!

My husband drives a two door company car in UK and has asked for a statement so that we can insure the car we are buying for ourselves. They have written that a claim was made against him because something thrown from this car hit a car behind us. To start with we do not throw things out of windows when driving, there is no roof rack, and the car is not missing any part. Looking at our calendar, the date was a Sunday when we were at home with our small grandchildren and did not go anywhere. Also the firm never informed us of this claim which was made over two years ago, nor did the police come to investigate our vehicle.
Surely one cannot claim against someone without their knowledge, otherwise anybody could take the number of a car on the road and accuse the occupants of throwing a projectile which damaged their car even though it is not true. I could understand if it were a truck or a van but not an ordinary car.

I know people drift cars, but I was wondering if anyone actually drifts like they do in that fast and furious Tokyo movie, and if people do actually drift like that could you give me links to real videos of it?

I see people all the time at elevators and especially at traffic lights pushing the buttons for either the elevator to come to their floor or the dont walk signal to change to walk many many times over and over again. Does it matter whether u press that button once or keep pressing it many times. Does it make the elvetor come fasfter or the light signal change faster if i keep pushing it many times.
thanks

If the Fitch barriers were absent, the occupants of which car would be most likely to sustain serious injuries?

Is this asking me which of the occupants in the car will suffer more serious injuries or which occupants in the car will suffer less injuries?
