Cars & Transportation - 12 April 2007

My F350 turbo diesel got very wet when I hit a puddle that I did not see. It began to buck and my “engine needs service” light came on. It finally dried out and things were ok again. At least I thought things were ok. The problem I now have is that every time it rains, I get that same bucking and the light comes back on. I do not know where to look for the problem. I have been told that it is the glow plugs, its wires, its this or that. I was wondering if anybody ever had this problem?

I have never ridden a Motorcycle before, and as I should, I am taking a BRC to learn the ropes to riding a motorcycle. I have driven mopeds before, so I do kind of know what to expect as far as riding goes.

I want to get a bike, so have have been looking around and I recently sat on the HD Sportster, which would be a great first bike, except for the fact that I felt very cramped and oversized for the bike. I have looked at the HD Street Bob or Fat Boy as a first, but my concerns are cost and size.

I don't want to buy a bike that is inexpensive, but too small for me that I will outgrow quickly, but I also don't want to spend a lot on one that is the right size either. I have only looked at Harley's because I like the image it protrays, and I also like the look of the Street Bob and Fat Boy, but is there something else out there (other Harley's or non-Harley's) that may be similar in size accomodation for me, but less expensive and as just as nice looking to consider?

Pls Hlp

...and a woman on train #1 is pregnant, while her husband is on train #2 working as a waiter for the Coast Guard, while his sister is seventeen years old and driving train #3, while her boyfriend is disguised as a hobo riding along on train #4, who named train #5 Circus de Yahoo, and on Circus de Yahoo there is the pregnant woman's sister, who is friends with a man who breeds ducks on train #6, and the duck breeder knows the doughnut addict on train #7. So on which train would you put diesel fuel, a man in a cow suit, a faithful taxpayer, the manager of a cell phone company, a carburetor salesman, and a rock musician, and which train would you name Rocky? And why?

It happens when I start it up, but not every time. It sounds like the noise is coming through the floor boards and is VERY loud. It has 124,000 miles on it. Any thoughts on what that could be? Thanks!

Is it true/false that there is a quota of people to pass or fail each day. Does an examiner know how many tests you have already taken when you start your test with him/her.

I have an 06 R350, which is under warranty. The gear-selector is made of cheap and flimsy material, and snapped when I moved it. Mercedes is saying that it's my fault, but I believe it's theirs, due to their making the gear-selector so cheaply and weak. What process can I use to appeal their refusal, and how would you recommend my handling the situation, and finding a way to get them to pay?

thank you.

I’m interested in trying to find a vehicle like mine, but wrecked with a good engine and transmission and any other parts I can salvage to keep mine alive for a few more years . I would like to know in general how to search and bid on wrecked vehicles that have been totaled by insurance companies and are now up for bid. This would be kind of like what a wrecking yard must do to purchase vehicles for parts resale, or a used car dealer that would in turn repair the vehicle and resell with salvage title. Any leads on where to start would be appreciated

I was shopping in the store when the hoop fell on my car, denting 2 body panels and cracking the windshield. They had one of their administrative people take pictures and they filed a claim with some company they deal with. This was on Monday. Their insurance company (I think?) called me yesterday and got some more information and said they would send the claim on to a different company who would have someone come look at my car.

Should I notify my car insurance company about this, or have the Salvation Army handle everything? It is most likely going to cost over $2000 for the damages. I have full coverage insurance. I am concerned that it isn't being handled in a timely manner and they haven't asked me to take my car in for an estimate at a body shop. What should I expect here?

I have a 2001 Toyota Camry CE and I'm moving to LA and want a convertible. What could I get for a good price that won't fall apart on me? I'm not sporty but I would like to enjoy the sun and openness of a convertible. I'm not into spoilers and custom body parts or anything like that. I thought about a Honda Del Sol but I feel like whatever goes wrong with it I won't be able to find a part for it or something like that. It seems too good to be what I want. It's cheap, convertible, small, looks good... I also don't want something that's a target for thieves that's why I want to sell my Camry!!!
