The motor scooter is a 2007 Chinese Roadrunner I-Scooter. With a new battery the turn signals flash and the horn sounds properly. It starts with the switch on the first turn. It has a generator. However the battery goes dead. It only kick starts then. The lights are dim and the horn barely makes a sound. The lights brighten a small amount with speed. However the horn and the trun signals still do not work properly. Suggestons as to the problem and the fix.

I just bought a FZR600 and discovered oil coming from the hole in the cooling fins on the "passenger" side of the head. I assume it's been dropped before but I don't know that for sure. I'm wondering if anyone knows what this hole is. I've been told by one mechanic that the oil may be leaking in from the valve cover gasket or the seals around the spark plugs. Another mechanic told me that it's just a factory drilled hole that had a plug in it and the plug probably just fell out. They said if I hammered a BB in it, it would plug the hole and I would be fine. I'm kind of nervous about hammering a BB into my engine because it would be very bad if it went into one of the cylinders. Has anyone else out there seen this type of leak and know how to fix it?

I am looking to buy either one of these. It will be a 2006 model whichever way I go. I know the STS-V has 469 hp, but that is not the only consideration. Any assistance will be appreciated. They are the only cars that I am considering.

I have a '77 standard Beetle, and wanted to avoid buying anything to lower the front. I know that it is possible to lower the rear by pulling the spring plates off the torsion bars and rotating them one or two splines, and it seems that one should be able to do the same with the front torsion bars. Any ideas?

I have a '03 Pontiac Grand Am GT and all three of those lights came on at the same time. What could be the cause of that? Someone told me it might be a sensor. If that is the case, how much will that cost to repair. If it could be anything else, what might it be and how much? thanks

I just added some GumOut fuel injector cleaner and added 10 gallons of gas. My service engine light came on the next day and now the car runs sluggish and misses quite often. What's going on?? My fuel pump was just recently replaced.

I have a bet going with my husband that they made a Special Edition kind of lowered with a show body on it of the Ford Ranger. I remember meeting a guy in Missouri who had one brand new. I need to know what it is called and where I can find pictures. I remember seeing the icon on it and I think it had a thunder bolt in it, but it is not the ford lightening I know what those look like. Any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks

2000 Ford Focus. 140,000 miles.

Car sputters, then dies (twice now), on the freeway. It has restarted both times after a short wait. She is almost to Salt Lake, and would like to get it fixed here before continuing on her way.

What are the most likely problems, do you think? I realize that without getting under the hood, it is probably much tougher, but what do you think? I have my opinions, but I would like to hear from others.

Thank you!

my engine recently over heated and had smoke coming out from the bonnet, and when i looked inside i noticed that the tank you fill up with water for the radiator (excuse my lack of technical terms) was completely empty. I filled it up, but the minute i turn the engine on and just leave it running, within 2 minutes the water level rises and starts coming out the top (instead of draining into the over flow pipes) and then it starts smoking (and im worried the pressure of the water might make the lid to this tank explode. However, when i drive the car, or sit and rev the engine, the water just totally drains out of it. There is no leak, so no idea where the water is going or why. So im able to drive the car for short distances as long as i carry water to top it up again....but cant leave the engine running and sit still in it for longer than 2 mins. Does anyone know what the problem is???

Hi! I have a 1996 Chevy Lumina, and lately I've been hearing a deep, rattling sound coming from the back end every time I drive over bumpy pavement and dirt roads. Some of the roads around our neighborhood have been torn up due to construction - they're re-doing the road. It's now a potholy, bumpy dirt road and it's wreaking havoc on my suspension. I recently took the car in to have the brakes done, and I asked them if there were any parts back there that were rattling. They shook the major parts and couldn't find anything rattling, but they said my struts were shot. Does this sound like it may be the problem? How much do you estimate it would cost to fix?

I see and know so many females that scrape their tires against the curb when parking or stopping at the side of the road. Do you do it so you are close to the curb or do you like the sound of the tires scuffing the curb?
