The parking lights do come on though when the car is in park. If I raise the steering column, the light will work just fine. Anyone have an idea of what might be causing the problem and any estimates on repair? Thanks.

Then it beeps and switches itself off. It is as if the radio does not realise the engine is running and the saftey mechanism to stop it draining the battery kicks in. Any ideas how I can correct this?

this means you have points on your licence and won't be able to hire cars. However if you went to Europe and got an EU licence would you be able to come back here and hire cars using that licence?

I have a 76 Corvette, and on the body there is a key hole where the stingray emblem is, which is right above the driver side front tire. I noticed it and wondered what it was for. Design or something else. Any crazy help would be cool.

the heater and the dipped lights went at the same time so i thiught it must be a fuse, however after checking and replacing most of them i still have no dip and no heater,i bought new fuses for the relays too but this solved nothing, could both dip bulbs go together?at the same time? i cant see it and with the heater going at the same time i obviously thought of fuses...any ideas?

NOW GRANTED....I probably should not be going over 80 with it, but is that normal due to its size and weight or is there something wrong?

March 1st, my husband took our 1997 Dodge Intrepid ES to get the state inspection sticker. The car was running fine, but the check engine light was on. The guy there says that we need some new hoses, wires, things like that and we end up with over $600 in repairs.

March 3, my husband turned on the heater and noticed it wasn't blowing heat. Then he noticed it was overheating. He took it back to the "guy" (he is not a certified mechanic, we know now) and told him to fix it. He said he 'forgot' to bled the system or something, I don't remember the exact wording but he said a pressure bubble built up in one of the hoses he installed.

March 6, I'm driving the car with my two small children when all kinds of white smoke comes out of the hood. I turned off the car and eventually made my way back to that shop where they said there were more air pockets and then they go ahead and install a new thermastat because the said it was not opening and closing like it was supposed to.

Ok, I posted about this a couple weeks ago but I'm still having problems. There's a pronounced pulsation/vibration in the steering wheel of my 2001 Buick LeSabre. At first I thought it was related to the tires so I had them balanced/aligned. I also had a bad motor mount replaced last week. The problem persists.

It seems that the majority of the vibration is actually in the steering column itself. It's not so much in the floor of the car. I also put my hand on the dashboard and the vibration didn't seem to be coming from there.

Another issue is that I have developed a tiny bit of dry rot in my tires, which I plan on replacing within the next couple of months. But like I said I don't think the vibration is so much tire-related because even when I have my foot on the brake at a stoplight I can still feel it.

Can anyone (who actually KNOWS something about cars, please!) give me an idea what this might be? Thanks!

I changed the batteries and was told it might need to be re-programmed. I took it to my local Ford dealer to be told it will cost me £75 ($140). Is there any way i can get it done cheaper or does it have to be done by a main dealer
