Cars & Transportation - 20 March 2007

I want to buy my husband a torque wrench for his birthday. He needs one today but he is going to rent one. I was looking on the internet and I have no clue where to start. I see they come in different sizes!?

Today he is using it to put in the gasket and retighten the head. He asked me to call auto zone and ask if they rent one and told me no bigger than 1/2 inch.

I want him to be able to use it for lots of different things. I think he would mostly use it on the car. So what do I need to look for?

The first thing I noticed was that my heaters were no longer pumping out hot air, only cold. Pressing the air conditioning button results in a louder than normal 'whirring' sound, even the button for the rear heated windows madkes a loud click. Also, a couple of lights on the centre console are out.

Are these just a number of trivial, isolated issues or could they be ponting to something more serious?

For the record it's a 2002 Astra SXi 5 door hatchback, 1.6i.

Thanks.

I have 2 sets of alloy wheels that I need to get refurbished. I live in Portsmouth, Hampshire and ideally don't want to have to travel that far.

Can anyone suggest a good refurbisher?

Thanks

Hi,

My car lighter socket is broken. (Its not the fuse). I need it to power my old pda/sat nav.

VW said they were £75 per hour + parts + VAT so I thought I'd try to do the replacement power socket myself. (£8 part)

I've got the part and removed the console to get at it...

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w81/sherad100/sherad_vw/sherad_lighter2.jpg

but i can't get the existing socket out of the red holder.....

http://i174.photobucket.com/albums/w81/sherad100/sherad_vw/sherad_lighter4.jpg

Any ideas on how to release it out of that red plastic holder ? Its fitted in tight.. and I've tried to force it upwards but it won't budge, and I can't move it by pulling down (unless use maximum force which would prolly break/rip it out.

Long shot.. but any ideas ? Haynes manual doesn't really cover this part of the repair well.. (push it out is what they say and its not moving)

If Chrysler does the same with the Challenger and GM does the same with the Camaro, we'll ALL be driving Hyundai crap....greed heads. They pulled the same crap when mini vans came out..like they don't make enough profit when they rip you off on trade ins or overpriced parts and service....I hope they all go belly up.

The chassis number is on the plaque under the bonnet, but there are no weights. If anybody has a '89 Passat would you be kind enough to look at the weights for me, thank you.
