My car is a Mitsubishi 1.3 engine fully automatic. I love everything about this car as it is my first car but I get desperate sometimes when I am in a 6 lane superhighway during busy hours. I could not easily change lane from a fully stopped lane to the next empty lane as I am afraid that the oncoming cars at the back running 100 kph might hit me before I can gain speed. Can I use any of these gears so that I can get a faster pick up speed? Please help.

Engine has done 27000. Smoke is blueish grey when revved hard on start up. When running smoke only visible if engine revved stationary but looks black. Exhaust emissions tested and ok. No loss of power when driving. Have been told I need a new engine. Does this sound right? Would a stop smoke additive help? My garage have basically said trade it in! Help! This is only a 52 reg car!

Why don't they bring back bus conductors?
Travelling on a bus full of schoolkids is a nightmare. The swearing, pushing past people and general lack of respect is a real problem to other passengers. The bus driver understandably is too busy driving the bus to do anything, and even if he did, what could he do? He needs backup.

This morning, I was riding a moped. There is currently some flats being built so some temporary traffic lights have been set up. The light turned red so I pulled the brakes. I wasn’t going over the limit and I didn’t brake to tightly. However, due to the stones and other debris from the building works, I skidded out of control and came off my bike. It caused quite a bit of cosmetic damage and the wheel and steering bar will need to be realigned. I guess it will need to be checked for other damage. There were no signs warning over loose debris (which I think exist). I am entitled to money from the building company to cover costs? Am I entitled to any extra money for the fact I crashed and this obviously wasn’t fun! What is the best course of action to take? They are a big company. Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

Hi , i started to drive in my early twenties and packed it because i struggled with driving manoeuvres i was ok with everything else and now in my early 40's i have restarted 6 months ago and picked up the basic driving again really well but as for driving manoeuvres its the same again . When coached through them i can do it fairly ok but can not remember each time the way the wheel goes ? I just cant get my head round it or remember from one lesson to the next the way the wheel goes for reversing round a corner , turning points , parking bay .
Is there any method of easy learning to remember these manoeuvres as this is really stressing me and i dont want to pack it all in ! I understand the manoeuvres and what to do just keep forgetting the streeing manoeuvre! I really dont want to have to pack it all in again . Any advice , cheers

I bought it last week from one of my dealers in karachi and now that car is in islamabad. The Manuals are in car but all are in Japanese. Dealers have tried their best but they failed to find it. The only problem i am facing is that the menus my audio system has is in japanese language. Some one told me that you can change them from player options from japanese to english and for that i need to have a manual. My navigation, GPRS and Parking Sensors are all built in that System and all are in japanese. I have searched it on Toyota ECHO too, but cant find it in. bcz their audio system is different from Toyota Platz. If anyone can be helpful in this regard then i'll be greatful.
You can send me an email on karachians@hotmail.com or supersoft2003@yahoo.com. Thanks.

Why is it that commercial vehicles like 18-wheelers have a bigger steering wheel than normal vehicles?

OK, I've always been a fan of Ford's F-150 and the Mustang, but Ford, for a long while, forsook improvement and innovation especially in its line of cars. This has been one of the major factors in their loss of market share in the US, coupled with the fact that most foreign car companies committed to improvement and innovation, thus eating away at US car companies' market share in the US. SO, why do you think Ford has not implemented some of the car lines/ideas/concepts of their European Division into the North American Division of the compnay? I think some of those cars, appropriately modified for American roads, would do well in American markets. What do you think? If you're not familiar with Ford's European Division car lines check out this website. You might be surprised by some of these vehicles. http://www.ford.co.uk
