I have 2001 Malibu with 65000 miles on it and I need to get my Brake Rotors and Brake Pads replaced. Few Questions:

Which one wears out faster? Pads or Rotors?
Does it worth paying lot of money for a rotor or a pad? Or should i just get the standard?
Also, has anyone used or know anything about ceramic brake pads? Is there a much difference? Thank You In Advance!

Hi Everyone, I recently purchased a '03 Accord and noticed that there are black residues in my tailpipe - maybe oil?? Yesterday, my car ran out completely of oil - the oil indicater was blinking. There isn't any noticeable leak - I brought it into a service center today and they said that nothing is wrong with the car and that I only needed my oil change. Is this correct? How can my car go completely out of oil? The last oil change was 2 months ago...and what is the black residue in the tailpipe?

I have a lease on a truck. My payments are $350/ a month. My lease will end in February. I can no longer afford this truck.
The residual value when I turn it in is around $17,800. These are the Blue Book values as of now:
Private Party - $22,600 Trade-in $19,965. I called the dealership and that said they would try and work something out but what can I expect? I need something NOW with a low monthly payment. I saw on their website where they have an inexpensive Corolla for lease but that is with the best credit and around $1,500 due at signing which I don't have. Any ideas?

You are in a small car park and whilst trying to leave it you reverse the car onto the side of a flat bridge.

The front right wheel is hanging over the edge and the car's underside is resting on the side of the bridge (all three other wheels are on solid ground) The car is at such an angle that you would not be able to drive it forward (back the way it came) in order to get the front wheel back on ground because the back tyre would go over the edge.

You have successfully contacted a council worker who is going to open an emergency gate so that a rescue service's lifter vehicle can enter the car park, but when it arrives you realize the car park is too small for the lifter vehicle to get to your car.

How do you get the car out without lifting it and without it going over the bridge?

A hint is that it involves a 4x4 with a winch.

Or, do the entire keyless units themselves have to be replaced once they stop working? How much does it cost to replace them at the dealer?

I have had my Firebird since 1999- so it's been eight years. The remote keyless entry button does not work anymore, and hasn't worked for a few years now. Is there a small replaceable battery inside it? If so, how do I gain access to the battery in order to replace it? What size battery is it?

Hi, I have a 1998 rover 111, that's in PERFECT condition, only done 19000 miles. Recently had an MOT and service where I mentioned the fact that it drops a bit of oil. They cleaned the sump completely but it's still dropping a bit of oil. The oil itself is fine, the pressure and temp is fine, and it's only leaking about a drop or two a night, but still, we have a new drive and my mom isn't keen on it! And I'm worried about my little tiddler :)! Anyone got any suggestions?
