Cars & Transportation - 10 April 2007

I guess I could take the rad cap off and add two fittings, one for a vacuum tester (it also works as a pressurizer), and one for a bicycle pump inner tube stem, then just pump her up to 15 lbs. and wait. Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Vince

Is there a way to get and use a normal ignition key that doesn't have the big bulky chip on the end? I carry enough keys in my pocket and now I have a new key that's larger than all the other keys put together. I bought a new Mini Cooper.

How do I downshift or change to a lower gear to slow down speed.
from 5th gear going 50mph to 2nd gear.to 12mph.

"press brake and wait till it hits 2500rpm and downhift from 5th to 4th gear and do it again if i want go to lower it".
if incorrect please help me!

I reallly like the looks of the FX but I do like MDX's features and praticality i.e. the trunk release (especially with the baby.. it would be handy)
I feel better with the FX styling, but is the MDX definately has it all!!!
Please vote and give a reason either way!
Thank You!!!!

I have a 1986 Dodge 600 Convertible 2.2L naturally aspirated [NON-TURBO]. Basically a K-Car same thing as a Lebaron or Aries really. The car has 82,000km on it & I use Valoline Conventional 10w-30 in summer & 5w-30 & sometimes Valvoline Maxlife of the same grade but conventional. I change the Oil every 5,000km. Is it ok for the car to use Syntehtic Oil. I've heard some people say that older cars oil leaks through the gasket. Also this car has never had the engine rebuilt it in the original from the factory and I am the 3rd owner within the family.

Im kind of a noob when it comes to dual voice coil subs. The sub is a 500 watt Alpine Type R 12" which runs at 4 ohms for each voice coil. The amp puts out 125 watts x 2 @ 4 ohms, 250 watts x 2 @ 2 ohms, and 500 watts @ 4 ohms when its bridged (i dont think its stable to be bridged at 2 ohms). I realize i should have gotten the 2 ohm version of this subwoofer, but its too late. I dont want to settle for 250 watts of bass because this sub is meant to take twice that much power. Is there any way i can get 500 watts going to this sub without buying a new amp?

I have a 2002 ford Focus. A few months ago I noticed one day while I was driving that the speedometer was bouncing between 60 and 70. It then droppped down to 50 then to 40 before returning to 60.

Since then it does this same thing everyonce in awhile. the other day when I was coming to a stop it jumped to 120 then back down to 0 before slowly descending as I came to my stop.

Its at the shop because I'm having the clutch master cylinder fixed and they can't get it to repeat the problem. They've hooked it up for a diagnostic and nothing is showing up either.

It is driving fine and I haven't noticed any odd noises or any other differences in the way it drives. Anyone gotta clue as to what could be the problem??

I would rather replace these easy to do things myself instead of going through the dealer. Examples of missing things: The panel next to the hazard lights button and rear defrost button, the fuse panel door. I'm trying to sell the car and want it to look complete. Thanks for any help!!!

The other 3 windows work fine, but my passenger side window can only go DOWN, and it only goes down if you press it on the passenger side (i.e. I cannot roll it down from the driver's side control).

I have an early 1964 1/2. I am not sure of the code, but I know it was early because it has the 260 V8 which was only an option in the early production of 64. It has A/C. I have the upholstry and am going to re do it soon. The top is fairly new. The body is straight and in good condition. Bondo on both rear quarter panels which I have considered getting fixed. The paint is Poppy Red and looks great when the car is cleaned up. I keep it in my garage and drive it maybe once or twice a week to the grocery store about 10 miles round trip. Needs new shocks and suspension work. Dash is intact. It was a show car about 17 years ago, but has definetly seen better days.

How many convertibles where made for the 1964 1/2 model?

Some idiot the other day offered me $3000 and told me I would never get more than that. I told him there was no way I would sell him the car for under $10,000.
