I checked the freon levels using a kit I bought at the auto supply store, and it reads fully charged. What else could be the problem?

A car is being given away by one of my dad's co-workers as he does not want to deal with the problem its engine is experiencing. Either cylinder 1 or 4 (far right looking down at the engine under the hood) has absolutely no compression. All other cylinders peak at a beautiful 150 pounds of compression. I have read a TSB about sticking rings in this engine, and supposedly the car was burning about a quart of oil every 1000 miles. Could I remedy this by using the method I've read about where the cylinder is filled with heavy weight oil through the spark plug hole and then cranked to "reseat and reseal" the rings? Secondly, other than a serious mechanical defect what causes absolute zero compression other than a ring problem.. As a side-note I would like to add that the radiator had been covered with cardboard in the winter as if the thermostat is possibly bad...maybe the car ran too rich and fuel-washed the cylinders? Please help! It's a FREE car!!! :( Or maybe it's not worth it..

Someone hit my house with a car, she was driving her moms car with permission but did not have a drivers license. Would the insurance her mom had on the car cover any of the damages? She was not a minor and this occured in Texas.

sometimes the light flashes and the odometer shows a bunch of dashes and it will not start and other times it fires right up

I bought a new set of letters from Dodge, they have a sticky backing, but I'm thinking I am supposed to apply some sort of epoxy to really get them to stick. Any suggestions?

I am trying to refill with unleaded to dilute the mix continuously but can't get in more than 7 - 8 lltrs at a time though the tank must be half empty by now. What is happenning, or what has happenned? Is the diesel causing the petrol to froth as it goes in or what?

I've already changed out the turn signal bulbs and checked the fuse. Nothing is wrong there. Where do I go next with self diagnosis?

I was thinking of getting a motorcycle, preferrably a sport, maybe a Ninja, however I am rather large, 6'6" and about 285 pounds, so maybe a curiser is the way to go but what would be good models for a first bike

i have had the a/c compressor changed, the freon is in it, the control panel changed. I have had someone tell me that the fan isn't running as fast as it should, Could that be why? Also when im driving it and my a/c is on and i slow down the car dies some times or seems to run really bad. What the big deal? Why am i having so many complications due to my a/c?

My main concern is getting the most miles per gal I can (I drive about 140 miles a day) but I also have 3 kids (3, 6 &12) and a tall wife (6' 3") with long legs. Cost is also a factor. What car should I be looking at?

Either a Renault Laguna 3.0 Rti V6 24V or a BMW 325i. I have just bought the Renault, wondered on peoples opinions.
