The car is an old fiat panda and I'm about to make a long journey. Is this fault dangerous?... How do I get it fixed?

Apparently they are only 30% efficient which isnt very impressive. That is to say 70% of the energy in the fuel is lost through mechanical loss.

Hello all,

I forgot to get my MOT test in June (naughty me, I know). It has only come to my attention since the road tax disk is up for renewel in a few days.

When I called the garage to book an MOT, the guy said 'please bring your logbook and MOT certificate, it'll make it easier'. Do they need an MOT certificate? (Since obviously mine is now a few months out of date).

Thanks,

The reason I ask this is because this car is not of normal value. I bought it for $225,000 and just want to get the most for it right now, which I understand to be around $160,000.

Any and all help would be highly appreciated, thank you.

When can you get the best deals from a car dealer, if I had no timetable to buy one? I just want the best deal, even if I have to wait 6-9 months. Is it around Xmas, or when the new models come out and you get an older model.

I do want a new car, not used.

Also, any tips on getting a vehicle even cheaper?

I'm thinking of getting a 944, around 10-12 years old, as a second car (fairly low annual mileage). At the price I can afford, it will have a lot of miles on the clock. Is it likely to be worthwhile, or a dog? What should I look for when I take a test drive?

I slid on some dry ice in my truck and hit the wall on the side of the highway. There is no damage to the body of the car, but one of the front wheels is at an angle now. It is not drivable. It definately looks like metal is bent somewhere back there. I hit the wall so hard that the threads on the bolts on the tire are pulled out on a few of them and they won't screw back on all the way. Its just all bent and messed up. Since it looks like a "frame" problem, how much do things liek this usually cost to fix?

Yamaha RD350 is the lion of all the bikes manufactured till now in India. It was originally manufactured by Rajdoot Motorcycles in the early 80's with all raw power and looks that even today no other punny bikes can stand. It ruled the speed and roads of our great country once upon a time which no other bike has ever replaced it so far to my knowledge. Hello brothers in Rajdoot Company, are you all going through this?. Please help me out yyaarrr!!!!!
