Cars & Transportation - 16 November 2006

It's been doing this for awhile after I put in a new air freshner(probably not the air freshner considering the old one's like two months old)...it's one of those things you attach onto your A/C vent...and I kept the old one around because it's a smiley face and it makes me happy. Whatever besides that could it be something inside the vent that smells weird? I'm pretty sure it's coming from the A/C vent since I don't have any clothing or anything like that in the car. Could it be an indication that something's wrong? If it indeed is the vent, then how do I make it stop smelling funny? By the way I have a 98 Camry LE. Thanks.

I'm thinking of buying a 98-2000 XK8 and wonder what years had these expensive problems. What are average maintenance costs per year? How much is a tune up, oil change,60k maintenance? The cars look cool, prices have dropped, I was disappointed by the acceleration-but it's all good. I appreciate you feedback!

It's completely unscrewed, but will not lift up off of the radiator. I need to add water to my engine until I can get some coolant, because it overheated a couple hours ago.

Does the water go into the reservoir that says "engine fluid only" rather than into the actual radiator? I really don't think my cap will come off.

i've noticed recently that when driving my civic on on rainy, humid day that it begins to get...well kind of fumey inside the car. It actually will eventually give me a headache and then slight nausea.It smells lightly like a chemical/exhaust fumes...but the car is quite, with no obvious exhaust leaks that I can hear....likewise I don't have a Check engine Light. So what could it be? It seem to be coming from the air vents as its much stronger when they are on with all of the windows shut

It's okay to pour water into the radiator, though, right? Engine's cooled down a lot, so I shouldn't have to worry about cracking the block or anything. Not mechanical at all....water ('til I get coolant) goes into the radiator only, and coolant into the "engine coolant only" reservoir, right?

If it takes 21 miles to get from one town to another...how many hours do you think that is? My friend and I live 21 miles from each other and I was wondering how many hours in the car it would take to see her.

Do CV Shafts only operate when the car is moving (driving) or does it also operate even when the car is on but not moving? also how do you know if there is something wrong with it, does it make noises like screeching sounds or squeeling sounds?

I have a '97 Dodge Dakota that does have high mileage, but runs fine. I just got the oil changed, and now at low RPMs the oil guage will drop and the light will come on. Has this happened to anyone and if so, how was it resolved?

I have a 2001 Dodge Stratus and recently bought a new radio and install kit. Without ever having seen one replaced, I was hoping someone had a similar experience and could share how to get my factory radio out without any damage (I don't want to go pulling on things I shouldn't). Any help?

Hello
Does anyone know how to adjust the Rear drum Brakes on a 1993 Ford Festiva?
I'm replacing the drums but I can't figure out how to adjust the brakes. There isn't a adjusting wheel or screw to be found.
