Whats the difference between regular and RV antifreeze? Will regular antifreeze damage the drains; should I do this over before it is too late?

Need to know how to disable the DRL. The fuse labelled EBU under the dash which the manual indicates as the DRL fuse does not control the DRL. Removing that fuse only disables the passenger side airbab!

While warming up the engine does not release heat until temp gauge reaches H and then the tstat opens and heat pours in. While driving above 2000 rpm the heat keeps coming in, but when I slow or stop the heat vanishes and the gauge goes up to H only to repeat the cycle. There is a slight smell of antifreeze coming through the vents only after coming to a stop after highway driving, then it disapears. It has a new radiator. I had the tstat replaced and the system was flushed, but I haven't had a chance to drive it longer than 15 minutes. It didn't have any symptoms for that short drive and heat was coming out as the gauge was going from C to the middle line. Were the symptoms because of a bad tstat or is the head gasket blown?
Thanks in advance

It was checked by two mechanics. All is clear. They both said they checked EVERYTHING. Good spark...motor compression good. Changed spark plugs, fuel filter, fuel injection. Checked ECM and coil packs, timing chain. Everything is doing what it's supposed to do except start. Any suggestions?? The mechanic is literally scratching his head over this.

I have a 95 Honda Del Sol, and I recently took it in to a Jiffy Lube to get a Tranny flush. After that I noticed that my temp gauge wasn't moving..I figured they they knocked out the wires or something, but then I notice that my heater wasn't getting hot anymore. So the gauge isn't broke, it's reading right. Sometimes the gauge moves up a little bit, but most of the time it barely moves at all and my heater is barely warm. I did have low coolant, and when I put more in it helped slightly..my next guess is the thermostat going out...any other suggestions? thank you:)

First car suddenly stopped because there is a parked car in the middle of the street. Then a second car came in and made a complete stop on time without striking the first car. However, a thrid car strikes the second car and a fourth car strikes the thrid car, pushing the second car to the first car.
So Whose fault is it?

I know that the law requires drivers to be in full control of vehicles at all times. but Whose fault is it? Is it going to be all three drivers behind the first car's faults?

Thank you

How is it that if a central crash barrier gets damaged by a collision and buckles and bends they immediatly put cones around it !!!!! Is this to warn approaching motorists not to have a crash into the barrier at this point as it is damaged. As if you can pick a piont to have an accident. This has perplexed me for a number of years and if you ask the people who put out the cones you get an answer 'Well it's damaged' Please think about the answer very carefully cos I don't think there is one apart from sticking a cone somewhere for 2-3 months untill repaired.

We just took a trip to Chicago my van drove fine the whole time, but at the end of the trip it started making a low rumbing sound. The temperature gauge said it was normal mid temperature and the fan is not coming on. There is plenty of coolant. I am going to pull the thermastat as soon as my husband gets home so I can run out for a wrachet. Is there anything else that I should check? I am pretty handy but I am no mechanic.

I have a 91 Maxima with the VG30E engine in it, i was wondering if it is possible to put the VG30DE in to replace it without too much of a hassle. The VG30DE came in 92-94 Maxima SE. I have an automatic transmission. Would i need to change out a bunch of things or would it be minor replacements like the crossmember and motor mounts?
