Cars & Transportation - 18 April 2007

My friend was involved in a small accident happened in traffic hour; there is only minor dent and scratch damage to her car and the parties involved exchanged info and left the scene without having the police involved. But when she called the other party's insurance company for claim, she met a worried pattern: first the insurance company wanted her to drive her car to a location to get assessment instead of coming to her; then she was mailed many forms to fill without any indication when they are going to pay for the damage. What she needs to do next? Any experience to share please? My won experience has been positive in the past so I don't know what to tell her. Thanks in advance.

Today my brother got driven into by a lorry driver from another country. He drove into the back of my bothers car and if someone had been in the passenger side they would have died. This lorry driver didnt know uk driving rules. Why are these dangerous drivers allowed on the roads? He has probably been driving all through europe.

I received a letter from Renault saying they have launched a safety recall affecting certain versions of the renault modus they have identified a potential malfunction in the stop switch on these vehicles,which could cause overheating at the pedal area ultimately affecting my safety....Could that problem cause the brakes to fail as I ran into the back of someone a couple of months back....

I'm having problems when i accelerate, it feels like its running out of gas. It was only doing it sometimes, but now its doing more and more almost all the time. I have replaced the fuel filter and it's still the same. Some people also told me it could be the fuel injectors. I have a new engine so I dont know if they used the old fuel injectors. I replaced the CAP AND ROTOR and still the same.The only other thing I can think of, is the air flow sensor but I dont want to replace it and not be it ($110).
Im gonna take it to the dealer today after work to see if they know for sure. Any ideas??

I replaced both sides and installed new brake shoes and had the drums turned at a parts store. If you did all this work how much would you charge the person? Just for the labor itself. Any help would be appriciated thank you.

I was thinking about stupid stuff in the shower this morning. This guy on Yahoo Answer was asking how to say something in German. I replied like the dork I am and put "Herr" in front of whatever word he was looking for, i.e. Herr X. I then continued to answer, i.e. "for French, it's le X; for Spanish, it's el X, and so on." That reminded me of the French car called Le Car by Renault and thought about how cute they were. I mean, the sunroof encompassed the entire roof, but it was probably normal sized on an American car. I used to drive a Peugeot 405 in the early 90's. That was a fun car to drive. I believe it had the best stick shift of anything I've driven to date. I just got to thinking that I haven't seen any French cars around lately. Why aren't there French cars in the US? Are they that bad? Do they not last as long as a Kia or a Hyundai? I mean, those guys are still putt-putting around, right? Well, I leave you to it, and please pardon me while I go and shave now.
