I have a 99 Harely Sportster and lately when I warm it up and begin to drive in 1st gear the oil cap/dipstick pops off causing oil to burst out. Is this a simple oil cap change or something else.

I recently bought a 72 F100 from a car dealership in missouri. i towed the truck home and began to work on it. it runs fine except for 2 things.
1. the transmission takes a few seconds to catch and i have to give it a lot of gas for that.
2. the engine starts and stays running, but slowly loses power and then dies. i already checked the alternator and its fine. also has a new battery.

It never fails in the morning. From that, I concluded that it might be heat related and/or have something to do with not locking the car, while parked in the garage. When it starts and runs, it runs normally. It never stalls. I have replaced the following: 1. Fuel Pump, 2. Fuel Filter, 3. The Fuel Injector Regulator, 4. ECC (PCM) Power Relay, 5. The Fuel Pump Relay, and 6. The Ignition Switch. I even bypassed all electrical components controlling the Fuel Pump. I did it with a push button switch. When it fails, I press the push button switch and can hear the Fuel Pump run. But it still does not start. From that, I concluded that it is not a Fuel Delivery problem. If I leave the car sit long enough, it will eventually start. It's driving me crazy. Can anyone help?

As of next year, only Goods vehicles fitted with a Euro4 or better engine will be allowed inside the M25, this will lose a lot of business for small traders such as myself who cant afford £60,000 for a new Euro4 Tractor unit or Rigid. does anybody make a retrofit either EGR or Adblue system that i could put onto my ERF or DAF tractor units or rigids so i could continue trading? any ideas?

I know that there is no way to just send an application to the white house and sudden;y fly air force one but must you start off in the regular military and eventually fly the 732's that fly to groom lake then get to air force one or is it just constant with the regular air force?

I drive a manual Toyota cab and 1/2 pickup, it drives real sweet until recently when taking off our of 1st gear it trembles and then once you take off you need to slowly accelerate because if you press the pedal too fast all you get is a high reving and no speed. this happens in all gears, so what i need to do is just gas it slowely till it reach my desired speed.


any ideas people

I'm looking for a new (for me) used car and have my heart set on getting a Subaru. The only problem is, I'm 6'8'' and not every car will fit me.

So my question is, which models of Subaru will comfortably fit me (leg room and head room) and which won't.

I have a 2000 Dodge Durango and both of my extra 12v power supply sockets are not working. My regular cigarette lighter one works just fine. My extra ones are located in the dash and in the rear passenger side of the vehicle. Could it be a blown fuse? Does the whole thing need to be replaced?

I've recently seen a couple driving them around phoenix, and I haven't been able to find them on the internet. They literally look like snow mobiles with tires, they're really quite slick. I'm very curious as to how much those things cost.
