.....with leather seats and 172,000kms on the clock. Is this likely to be a tired old donkey or can I put my faith in Mercedes' fabled engineering? (Can't decide whether to bother travelling 150 miles for a test drive)

And what do you think would be a fair price if it turns out to be in good overall nick? (Pounds stirling would be preferable here)

I have a cruiser style motorcycle and want my bike to stand out as a female's bike (meaning Pink). I've gone to different websites, but all the bikes belong to guys. I need ideas how to paint my bike. I was thinking light silver with pink flames (medium shade of pink )and but the flame design may be too traditional. Any other ideas? Or do you know a link to a site with female bikes?

I have a 5 year old car, which was always reliable till one night ago my partner left the interior lights on overnight. The next morning I found out my car immobilizer light was not blinking as always, and I found out that the reading light was on but very dim. As the immobilizer is off, I couldn't start the car. I know at this point that the battery had been drained by the light overnight. I then bought myself a small battery charger, which the guy at the shop suggested and charged the battery for about 10 hours. Re install the battery back to the car, and nothing happened. Any suggestion? does it mean i need a new battery to replace? The old battery itself is about 5 years old.

Once I put "Drive", the RPM drop down to 500 to 1000 rpm. This condition make me unconfortable driving the car and other impact make gasoline much more consumed. For info: I have replaced the throttle valve due to car engine drop suddenly while I was driving, and multi core cables look bad. How to maintain the RPM in idle position to around 750 RPM and also not having big difference while we are in 'Drive" mode. Thanks.

hello ppl,
i am about to but a new system (headunit + speakers) for my Swift
am on a low budget and have allocated
1. 90-105 $ for the Head unit (AUX in is neccesary)
2. and another 90$-100$ for the speakers ( rear and front)

i wont be able to buy an amp.

so

1. which head unit should i go for - PIONEER or JVC (have only these 2 options)
BUDGET - 90-105$

since am not installing an amp, so i would prefer that unit which has a better inbuilt amp.
AUX IN - is necessary
custom EQ option

2. Which speakers to buy ? - PIONEER or JVC or JBL
BUDGET 90$ (incuding rear and front)

i need excellent sound quality - especially midrange , fidelity and soundstaging.
kindly suggest me which rears and front speakers to go for ?

3. some technical questions ..
is 4 way speaker better than 3 way speaker ? and by how much ?
can a woofer be attached directly to the system without an Ampilifier ? some ppl say i can attach one .. but not sure.

Ok, i have never done it before but i think i have a fuel pump that went out on my 1988 Ninety-Eight. Now i am guessing i have to drop the tank to get to the fuel pump but easy is this process? How many bolts do i have to take out and does the car have to be jacked up to get to the pump once its dropped?

its a 1971 chevy 350 that is coming out of a 1971 motor home. 010 block. Transmission is a 700R4 or i also have a 4L60E from a 95 S10 Blazer. The patient is a 1992 extended cab S10. Plain Jane with a 2.2 4 cyl. I am trying to come up with a complete plan of attack and really want no surprizes. I want to do a professional job here as I am a professional myself. Tech that is. ive heard about having to relocate that radiator and condenser. also what should be used for suspension? which trans would be better? I believe the 700R4 would be. Also do you have to do any modifications to the body? beat on firewall? move power brake booster? I want to keep A/C on the truck and change all front pulleys to one acc. belt. Serpentine. The S10 does have the OBD2 system on it. what problems may I run into as far as the wiring for the 350 and what to do with the extra wiring and connectors?. any advice that is helpful, informative or just down right correct is greatly appreciated. Wish me luck

ok I have a few issues about my car and I would appreciate and help from people who know what the problem is, or have had the same problem. My car is a mercedes 350sdl about 175k miles on it but runs well

Issue #1 - I was driving around my city a little bit.. went to parallel park, before I did I had my car just idling there because I was tlaking to someone through the window.. then all the sudden all the dashboards icons flash for a split second and the whole car shuts off. I immediatley think this is an electrical issue. I turn the car back on and it turns on fine, and I park it.
Later I come back.. turn it on to leave. Im pulling out making a K turn, and in the middle of the turn.. same things happens. Seems like its happening when my car is idling or at very low rpm.. seems to indicate a depleted battery charge? But this confusing me since I drove a 3 hour trip today at constant 60-80mph, which means the battery would have been charging.

Anyone know what hte problem might b

I'm thinking about trading some tools for this 4x4. This is how he's described some of the problems with it:
"It is a 1986 Bronco II 4x4 with 5-speed with 165K
miles. The smog report is very clean, so the engine &
related systems seem to be sound. I've replaced O2
sensors, EGR, CAT over the years to pass smog, but the
engine is untouched.

The biggest problem is that I can't shift into first
or second. So, I've been using gears 3-4-5 in low
range for city driving and 3-4-5 in high range for
highway. The front hubs are automatic so I
disconnected the front drive shaft, so I can use low
and still be just rear wheel drive for use on
pavement. It's been like that for 18 months. I have
the drive shaft so if you got a used tranny you could
hook the front back up."

My other question is ...IS IT WORTH IT? Am I going to need a new clutch too? (from starting in 3rd gear?for the last 18 months?
