Cars & Transportation - 29 May 2007

I have a 2000 model 325 Polaris Magnum fourstroke. I took it to the shop to see what was wrong with it and they said I needed a new crankshaft. They said it would cost $1100. Another guy told me it wasn't but $250. Does anyone know how much it would really cost just for the part.

I am buying a used car in Georgia, it failed emission inspection, what should I do now? The car failed the inspection on 06/01/2004, 12/30/2005, 12/29/2006, 03/14/2007. However passed on 01/21/2005, 01/03/2006.
So is the seller's responsibility to fix this problem, or how much it will cost me to fix it.

I have a 1992 Toyota Tercel. When I went to get a shoulder replaced because it was oxidized, They told me that I would soon have to replace this flexible pipe that connects to my muffler. Yesterday, I started to hear that the exhaust (vroom vroom) sounds way louder than it should and I'm almost positive that its that pipe. its probably the size of a meter ruler and its flexible. The owner I bought the car from must have put it there to muffle the sound a bit and then sell it. Well, long story short, I think i need to replace that pipe and i think it is the first little pipe that is directly under the clutch when i drive. Anyone know what that is called?

two questions;
Can a passenger still smoke in your whilst the car is in motion?

Can you pull over and smoke IN YOUR OWN CAR providing its stationary and not moving?

I think the second is a good question becuase the ban is being put inforce for distraction WHILST driving, so the last thing you want is pc plod to come over while your parked up and tell you you have no freedom and cant smoke in your own car.

I'm trying to contact the dvla and dti but to no avail...

street they are on. Will we ever have cars with sensors which can detect alcohal in the car and automatically alert police via GPS? Seems that the technology should be available.

The other day I heard a loud noise coming from my 1997 Ford Explorer. The only way to describe this noise was a loud whining (much like a weed-whacker at full throttle) I could not determine if it was coming from the engine compartment or the undecarriage.

After driving around the last several days it is still happening intermittantly but I was able to diagnose when it happens. It seems to ocurr once in a while when I remove my foot from the accelerator. When I hear the noise begininning it will immediately stop once I depress the accelerator pedal again.

It doesnt happen every time I remove my foot from the accelerator (only once in a while). AC is not in use when it happens and it does not affect the performance of the truck and I notice no change in RPMs - it sounds like a rush of air possibly.


Anyone have an idea?

I need to write my "M1" license, but the centre nearest me only offers LM1 and I don't know if this is actually what I need. Sorry to bother with such a trivial question.

Could this be a common problem with Jeeps? It won't idle for long with missing when cold. Sometimes I drive off but it feels like vehicle starved of fuel after first stop sign. Runs well othewise.
