Does anybody know a brand of screen wash that you can use in VWs with Fan Jet Windscreen washers. If you don't use the recommended VW fluid they block up. Apparently. Don't really want to have to drive to vw garage to get screen wash every time they need it.

I have a 94 GT mustang that I recently had some work done to. I had no problems with the heat gauge before I had some new aluminum head installed. I was wondering if I should install a lower temp thermostat? What are my options? I don't really trust my heat gauge though because when I press the breaks or turn on my headlights, the hand goes up alittle. Another thing is my oil pressure gauge is way up there to the point my dipstick wants to come out. What should I do about this?

If the roads here are bumpy and least maintained. (major traffic eyesore)
Also that the cars are from Asian countries (Ford, Chevy and anywhere else cars are found here only few except the Ford Everest SUV is popular).

What is the kind of car that suits here?

We asked Dial Direct not to renew our insurance because we were taking out insurance with someone else (they're useless). Despite this, they took the money from our bank account on Thursday. We telephoned the same day and they said they would refund it immediately. We telephoned the next day to make sure and a different person said that they can't refund it until we return the certificate of insurance (we haven't HAD the certificate yet). Obviously we went absolutely mental with them and accused them of theft, but they are still saying that it could take up to 2 weeks to refund the money.
We have no money in our bank at all and desperately need it back (we can't afford any food for the weekend). What is the most effective threat I can give to get it back.

The Bureau of Justice Statistics doesn't keep figures for the number of carjackings that result in murder but with $6.1 billion being spent on prevention programs and, apparently, not tackling the problem I would like to argue that changing your driving position on the road from right to left is likely to save lives.

In the UK we drive on the left because we used to get robbed by highway men in the good old days of horse drawn coaches, now with our right hand drive cars, we are (in theory) better able to defend ourselves with a concealed weapon as most of us are right handed (although gun ownership is frowned upon in the UK) mainly due to the fear the upper classes have that we will get sick of our taxes being spent on their friends loft conversions.

Your views/comments please:

i plan to sell off my car which was bought in the year 2003. The CEO was very high at that time. Is it worth it to sell it now and get a new one?

Where can I check my car's value?

Thanks

On Thurs. after running errands, car would not start. Key in ignition and "nothing." Battery is fine. Took to mechanic, 30amp Fuse blown, mechanic able to start with new fuse/fuse tester system, they started it 50plus times, but the fuse never blew again for them. Drove it away and was stranded again. Friday, they replaced starter and solinoid(cant spell that, sorry) and also started it over and over, testing it- and according to them,all was "fine". I drove car for 3 hours and turned it off to get gas. when I tried to start up- same exact thing- turned key "nothing" happened, no power, no engine ignition and the same 30amp fuse is blown.
I replaced fuse with car still hot, and fuse blew immediately upon turning key. I let car cool and replaced fuse, it again blew immediately upon turning key in ignition.
So, if problem is electircal/ wiring then did I never need a new starter/solinoid ? Should the shop refund me for that? Any ideas as to what is causing fuse to blow? help!
