I have 02 Caravan, can get warning light off by removing battery cable for a minute, but light comes back on after a few miles. Diagnosed as small emissions leak, have tried gas cap, no luck. Where can I look for emissions leak? Replace evaporative valve maybe. Don't want to spend big bucks on mechanic for simple problem, only a light, but it bugs me.

My blinker on the drivers side is out, and I don't want to get a ticket. I know it has to be an easy fix.
I cannot see how to gain access to the light compartment.

I never thought of buying a car off ebay. I was searching for a car part and then was scaning through cars for sale. What a deal! Problem is some of them almost sound too good to be true. I mean if the seller has 100% good feed back and they give history/details about the car and are willing to answer any questions, what can be the problem? Has anyone actually bought a car off ebay and were you happy with it? Can anyone give me tips on buying a car off ebay? Thanks!

Some insurers promise to beat any other quote. Could it therefore be possible (depending on their terms and conditions) to contact two such employers informing each one in turn of their best offer, wittling the price down to a penny?

I was on the motorway last night, and got on at a junction the same time as a police car. A minute later, they switched on the blue flashing lights, and a sign came up on an LED screen attached to the vehicle which said, "no overtaking". This went on for a junction, and then they pulled off! There was no accident on the road ahead...why on earth do they do this?! Please help, it's been driving me mad!!

They pulled it up so hard I needed help getting it down. When I drove off I could smell burning breaks, so I took it back. They "fixed" it by cleaning the brake cable using high pressure water?? Any how I have SO MUCH play in the break now and it's starting to smell of burning breaks again...BESIDES taking it to a mechanic do you think it's as simple as replacing the emergency break line? Has this happen to anyone before?? Thanks for any suggestions...

The closest I've been was as a wiper and OS on deep sea ships, but never even been on the lakes yet. Will I be on deck most of the time docking and standing gangway watches, or messing about in the engine room? Are steel toed shoes required at all times while working on American Steamship boats? How's the food? Do they have an exercise room? Heading out tomorrow evening.

my 98 ford is acting up. please help. You start it up and the rpms go up like normal, then they come down pass 1 and the engine dies. It will start right back up again, but then the same thing happens. I tested the battery its fine. The guy said it shouldn't be the alternator since it starts back up. Any ideas?????

I'm thinking about lowering the supension on my Audi.

I'm wondering, why bother? Apart from the obvious cosmetic benifits, are there any others? I mean, does it reduce wind drag and reduce fuel consumption? What real benifits are there?

Also - and this is one for the mechanically minded - how do you do it? Can it be done using the existing springs etc or do you need to replace these with special types? Is this something that the generally mechanically minded person can do?

All SENSIBLE answers greatly appreceated!

Cheers, Sam
