Advice given to bored Paul didnt work. The key turns but I think the pin that turns the locking mechanism must have come apart from it.

There was a metal detector and it looked like they were cordoning off the entrance making people pass through the metal detector and past the police dogs... some sort of response team were there with the vests et all and just loads of police and railway enforcement officers were there.

Any ideas??

I have a 1996 Dodge Stratus and the engine blew from the oil leaking out of it. I found an engine for $450ish with 62,000 miles on it and wanted to know if it's hard to swap it. Auto Zone supplies a guide on how to do it and even loans me the two main tools I need. Of course I can't spend too much since I'm a college student, so I'm trying to cut as a lot of cose plus I only spent $1000 to buy the car. If it's not a good idea, is there a cheap way to get it done?

It's a 2007 Hyundai Accent, the paper in the window says "Msrp 13.9k". Edmunds says 12.9k, and the actual Hyundai website says 13.4k.

What is the best price to negotiate? 12.8k maybe?

My son was using my truck and put gas in it.....so he thought. Turns out that the gas station had diesel in the tank instead of gas..so he ended up putting 25 gallons of diesel in the tank..then he drove it a good 30 miles or more.( truck no longer runs) We just found out today about the mix up..just curious if the engine will be ruined. Any input will be helpful.

I'm thinking of driving an RV cross country. Are they hard to drive? Have enough power for hills etc? I've only ever driven normal cars before, and come from a country where we drive on the opposite side of the road, so I'm a bit nervous about it. Thanks

Hi- so I've been trying to put some xenon bulbs on my 07' Elantra. I got high-beams (H1) for the brights which I installed fine..couple of minutes..no problem. I made the mistake of ordering H7s for the headlights..thinking they would work only to realize that they don't. After doing some research, I guess the '07 Elantra uses H11B bulbs..which are impossible to find. Some people are saying that H11 would work..some say they won't. Now I'm just confused and don't wanna order xenons that aren't even going to work (again). Wondering if anyone who knows something about this can help me out?? Thanks!!

I ordered a german license plate and a frame to put on the front of my BMW 328i. The problem is I don't know how to mount it w/o drilling holes in the bumper. I found something called "mounting magnets" that can be screwed into but I don't know if they would hold the tag in place or not. Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

I live in suburban sydney between two stations, it is a busy track; surburban, intercity, country link and freight trains use the track. However, more and more lately nearly every train is sounding its horn as it passes our complex of units. Would there be a valid reason for this or are train drivers just trying to annoy residents with the loud and offensvie noise of their horns?

How stupid, gas companies only own a minority of gas stations. most of them are independtly owned. all the gas out did was hurt those people. STUPID IDEA

I was told the rear brakes have to be disconnected from power source before working on them. Was told they are under high pressure and if did not use the correct scan tool or disconnect power it was highly likely they might explode due to the high pressure they are under.

Since I don't have any diagnostic or scan tools can I just disconnect the battery? ANd, were is the battery located?

Thank you

There is a debate going on over wether or not you should be allowed to talk on your cell while driving. My high school science project is on this and it proves that a cell-phone slowers your reaction time while driving. Do you think it should become illegal, like it will in California this July of 2007? Or is it ok to talk and drive at the same time? Answers will be great help for my project!
