Cars & Transportation - 20 November 2006

My 2000 Accent will run fine for a week or so then it won't start. I can leave it for a while and it has always started back up after a couple of hours. My friend who is a mechanic said it is the Crankshaft Position Sensor. I have change the sparkplus the fuel filter and the fuel pump. Any Ideas? It turns over strong....It just won't start.

I own an Astra 98' with 1.6i engine that has 75 hp. A friend of mine has a VW Golf that has 1.3i engine and also 75 hp. I was thinking that as mine has 300 cc more, it should have at least 10 hp more!? Is there any way, another air intake system, different sparks or something like that to give me a few hp more? Thanks!

"If you need to ask anything, do". I emailed just once to ask something a few days after I bought it and I've just emailed him a week ago (now a few months after I've bought it), asking him what winter checks I should be making with my car, and he hasn't answered. Is he sick of hearing from me?

I'd like to hear from people who own or who have owned the car they'd like to tell me about.

I'm looking for a reliable small car that the back seats will fold down so I can put a surf board or snow board inside.

Thanks!

from viewers ,but the problem remains unsolved.
1. I got the radiator thorougly cleaned,
2. I got the radiator coils removed,
3. I got the valve fitted in pipe line removed,
4. I got the radiator fan replaced fom 80W to 120W (solved problem to quiet an extent but not fully)
5. I got the head gasket replaced (on advice of a reputed mechanic)
I got the AC system inspected . What the mechanics did , they bypassed the thermostat as because of it the AC was repeatedly tripping.
The car now gets heated in summers to the extent that water starts boiling.
The ONLY option now seems left is to get the radiator replaced.
BUT what seemes to me is that the radiator in a factory AC car is of the same size and material as in a non Ac car.
With such an experience I feel that 1 should never get an Ac installed.
IF still somebody can advise, kindly do so.

I bought a vehicle from Ebay. I had it shipped to me. How do I get the tag? Will the dealership handle this or do I have to do something?

It occurs to me that they're not only dangerous to the envionment but also to pedestrians. Is it really necessary to drive around in a 2 ton vehicle just to take the kids to school and then burn up more petrol than is forgivable when there is onlhy the driver bumming it along the motorway?
