Cars & Transportation - 10 June 2007

As odd at it is it also only happens around certain times? Most likely because of thats when I drive it most, always starts early morning and late at night but trouble times are mainly around 4. All headlights/interior lights work, fasten seat belt light/sound goes on, radio still works etc. The radio says Checking... then Check OK when it works and doesn't work. No noise from engine at all just a quiet noise that sounds like the antenna when it goes up and down (but it's not). Car will usually start within 15-30 minutes but sometimes longer. Also will sometimes work immediately after I move the car from Park all the way to gear 1 repeatedly? Not sure what that means, but it doesn't always work-therefore I don't thin its because the car doesnt know that its in park. This has stumped all the mechanics here- any ideas?

Is one company more reliable then the other? Mercury is more fancier....but is one more reliable? A better car? Has less problems? Or are they just pretty much the same vehicle, one just has more stuff.

I'm looking at 2008 Mercury Mainer and 2008 Ford Escape on which one is better?!

THANKS

No damages have been found in the paint just the clear coat needs to be reapplied again. is there a cause for concern if this is removed and then reapplied. does this affect how long the paint job will last?

I bought this bike recently, and an idiot dropped it when I turned my back. Since then, the oil light has been on. I stood the bike up straight and added almost of quart of oil to reach the proper fill level, but yet the light stays on. Could this just be faulty electrical, because the bike is 25 years old? Or could running it be terrible for the engine? I haven't been riding it since the light has been on.

We bought a '94 GT convertible mustang on Saturday. It has 148 K miles on it. The man who sold it to us claimed it ran great, and gave us a bunch of paperwork/receipts documenting the work he had done on it. We drove it home to Killeen from Roundrock and it was fine. But Saturday NIGHT my husband noticed a good size puddle of coolant under the car. It needed the upper hose replaced. Then this morning the drive belt (?) busted. We thought that was the extent of the problem but when working on putting the new belt in it was discovered that it needs a new pulley and the mechanic said something about a new pump needed. This is a family friend so hes not just saying things to get our money. Are these problems that the previous owner was probably aware of??? Is there anything I can do/say to the man we bought it from?? This just PISSES me off!!!! Grrr! We paid way over bluebook value for it because this guy insisted he put all this time and money into the car!!!

I am trying to install a rust proofing device on my car. The installation instructions says that for CT-1 [the type of unit I am installing] black wire goes to the body ground (firewall).

My question is where is the body ground. Do they mean the -ve terminal of the battery. The reason I doubt that it is not the negative terminal is bacause for another type of unit CT-2 [that I am not installing] they specifically mention that black goes to -ve terminal. So this probably mean body ground is different from -ve terminal of the battery.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

The site of the manufacturer is http://www.counteractrust.com

Seemingly I had left my car in the car park for more than one and a half hours allowed hence the £70 fine. The letter also states that if I pay quickly I will only have to pay £45. I think this letter was from the company that runs the car park for the supermarket company.
Is the company within its rights to fine me £70.
Where do I stand legally.
Should I pay this £70 fine to the supermarket car park company or not.
I would much appreciate some advice on what to do.
THANKS.
