It is not an accomplishment. It just adds more noise to society and it bothers other people. Is it supposed to impress somebody? To me it shows the immaturity of the driver, especially older guys who ride loud motorcycles.

I am looking to put a after stock stereo in my 2003 Land Rover Freelander and I was one that has a 7 inch dvd player that pops out of the deck. I'm not sure if this will fit in my car because of the angle of my dash, does anyone know if this will work?

yesterday i took part in a dummy car crash where they cut us out of a crashed car and even tho it was pretend they still used all the proper equipment and it did scare me and i reckon if they did this to all teenagers it would stop them from not wearing seatbelts drink driving and loads of other stuff. what do you think?

i have a solobaric L5, and the other day, the CD is was playing sounded like it wasnt putting out quite as hard as usual. i changed the cd and it was back to normal, put the first cd back in and it was fine. so now i keep listening for it (hopefully it was all in my head), and i havent had another problem yet. so im wondering if one of the voice coils in the dual VC sub were blown or bad, would it be a significant difference, or just slightly less powerful? cause now im paranoid that i may not be able to hear it if it is bad. it runs off of a Bazooka 500w mono class D amp. and i was thinking maybe the amp got hot for a minute too (it was warm out and i had been playing it a while). im planning to put a Kicker 750.1 amp on it soon, so i was just asking yalls info on this. thanks

I just received my new reg sticker and in the process of putting it on my car I accidentally ripped it. Does the RMV replace these stickers if requested?

Why is it that these same motorists fail to use their indicators which are located at each side of every motor vehicle world wide?
Perhaps they are just pretty little decorations to make each car look nice.
This is a very interesting question so lets have some very interesting answers.

When the lights are fully on (With or without Dipped lights) the beams do not work, if I have only the side lamps on the beams work fine, this is a MOT failure but don't know if this is a job for an auto electrician or a poor "earthing" issue, can anyone help ?

My friend purchased a 2007 Chrysler 300M and has not had a moments joy. Even though the car is under warranty, it spends more time in the possession of the dealer than the owner. The car has had so many problems in the 6 months she has had it that she is ready to give it back. She had an independent certified mechanic check the car out and they basically told her the car is a piece of pretty junk. She just called Chrysler customer service and one of their reps told her "We don't care" when she told them about the cars problems and then disconnected the call.
Has anyone had similar nightmares with their American Chrysler car?

Its all very well introducing the "3 points on license" if caught using a mobile handset but shouldn't the drivers who are not doing it have the power to report other drivers they observe using their handset. They could give the details (vehicle reg etc) to their local police station for them to investigate. They're not enough police on the road to monitor this.

I went to a meeting this morning at 10am. My truck started fine,
drove perfect...even told me I needed to get more fuel. I come out of my meeting an hour later and it won't start. Won't even turn over. Tried jumping it, no dice. I came home to read about the PATS and it mentioned if the THEFT light flashes, you got a bad key/bad ignition ring connection. So naturally, I go back to my truck, which is sitting at a pizza place, and looked for symptoms of PATS malfunction. Nothing, nothing is/was wrong with my truck. The lights work, all of the diagnostics come on, fuel pump comes on, it even dims the lights when I try to start it. I'm so mad I'm shaking.

What do I do? It seems so easy to fix, but everything I have tried hasn't worked.

Regards,

Sean

I drive a 98 Ford Escort. Currently, it drives VERY loudly. When I am pressing on the gas, it almost sounds like a motorcycle. But only when I am pressing on the gas. Is that my muffler or something else? And, if it is my muffler, how much will it cost to fix on average?
