Hi I have been going to this site for some time now, and it is all about the Air Car, developed in France. It had been tested, and shown around different countries, but suddenly the page is longer available on the internet. Has it been shut cown. As far as I now it was being produced in Spain, and other investors have put money in, to build plants in various countries
Anybody know what has happened to it?
Regards bill Jones

I recently had my brakes worked on, they started squeaking not too long after, I took my car back and said the brakes were fine just they must squak a little bit. Just wanted to know if teher was anything you could do just to quiet that without messing up the brake.

I accidently backed into my friends car when it was parked in my drive way. I hit the back corner bumper and misplaced the bumper and left a dint in it. Now the problem is that I originally sold the car (that I hit) to my friend for $150.It is an old Datsun Stanza and in poor condition. He didnt spend too much getting it ready for rego. The quote for repairs is over $1000 because there is a huge amount of rust in the boot. If they try and bang out the dint the whole boot is likely to collapse. The car is so rusty I doubt it will pass rego this year. If it wasnt for the rust the quote would be much less. If I go to my third party insurer Im concerned they will consider the car a write-off as the damage far exceeds the value of the car. Any advice? Anyone been in a similar position? I want to do what is right by my friend but I cannot afford to fix the dent and the rust (they have to replace and reinforce parts of the boot) out of my own pocket. That is what I have insurance for.

My saturn SL1 is due for an oil change but it has a broken plug (it's stripped I think). There was this one mechanic that always changed it's oil but I can't seem to get a hold of him. My boyfriend tried changing the oil by siphoning the oil out with a tube but he said that the tube needed was too thin and it wouldn't suck out. He doesn't really know how else to change it. Is there any way my boyfriend can change the oil or fix the plug?

My motorbike passed an MOT last year, and then has sat in the garage all year having done only 10 miles. When I went to take it out for a new MOT, I found the front fork seals are badly leaking, which obviously weren't last year or they wouldn't have passed the test. My question: is it normal for oil seals to deteriorate without any use? Both seals are leaking just as badly. I had assumed the oil had just crept out slowly over the year (they are upside-down forks on a sports bike) but when I actually rode it, after a few miles I could see the amount of oil was quite great. Is this normal deterioration?

i have always heard that toyota oil filters have a (check valve) so oil will get inside your engine quickly when you start your engine, thus preventing unnessary wear and tear on your engine. if this is true, then why aren't all oil filters made this way?
