Cars & Transportation - 10 March 2007

I passed my test just over a year ago in a manual which I drove for about 4 months after, I then switched to auto and have been driving auto ever since. Next week I am having a tdi beetle manual (the same as the manual I previously drove) but I am very nervous about the change. I could do with any advice on getting used to a manual again.

In Australia, we only get the Honda Civic in sedan form.

For a male driver, which is sexier to drive? A Honda Civic sedan (black), or a Mazda 3 (in red)?

I was, unknowingly, a passenger in a car without insurance that then had an accident the police took all my details. Why? Do I face getting a fine or points on my licence?

I've been thinking about buying a Harley, but a friend of mine who is into motorbikes tell me that they have high maintenance costs and are very unreliable. Do you own a Harley? Is it true?

I would like to find someone who may be interested in purchasing this car for parts. It has sat outside for 25+ years and is in non-restoreable condition. Motor, tranny, and some body parts may still be useable. Engine was drained of coolant and may be salvageable, as well as many other parts. Any ideas where I can find a buyer? Any help appreciated. I'd hate to have it hauled off, especially when I am sure there is somebody out there who may be looking for parts for this model for a restoration.

ok, this is strange, its a turbo 300zx, 1986.. the battery will go completely dead, literally, within about 2 hours of not turning the car over, so my guess, is a short circuit somewhere?...any ideas?.....here's a possibility..when i am driving at night and need to turn on my brights, i can turn them on just fine, but then they wont go back off, and when i shut the car off, the lights wont go off until i pull the fuse from the fuse box.......help me, its aggravating, its an awesome car, and would be so much better if this were fixed

I am looking to purchase a 1995 Ford Probe GT. I already plan to have an engine swap, I have the rims chosen out for it and I have a paint job appointment coming up in June. My question is first... I want to before the paint job have a sunroof installed into it.

Where can I find the parts (mainly the complete assemly if such a thing) and where can I get it put in at (I was told a body shop can do it?) Was the person right and what type of price am I looking at for the entire parts purchase and installation?

3.1 V6 engine, have replaced starter and solenoid, new battery, will not start with key. It can be jumped from the solenoid, runs for about 3 seconds, then dies. All dash lights come on when key is forward, but when trying to start, it makes no sound at all. Security light flashes when key is in also. The light actually started flashing before this problem, then it was only able to be started off solenoid approx. 3 more times, now it will do as i said before, start from solenoid, run 3 seconds, die. Do not have funds to take to dealer, new tranny, new motor can't afford to junk the car, please help!!!

The car ir a renualt campus 5 (no laughin) and I believe it to be the brakes. Most probably the rear brakes. The noise is coming from the back left and is more prominent when turning left and when turning right it sometimes disappears altogether.

My thoughts are the back brakes are seazed and what I need to know is what is the best way to release them? All help gratefully received.
