I questioned whether there was a way to keep a car from rusting anymore than it already is.

and found a post on yahoo answers saying:

"Stop it with RustSeal made by KBS Coatings. It's a super tough nonporous coating that permanently seals metal pores and blocks all access to water & oxygen. Unbelievable stuff! I've used it.

Is this just shamless self promotion or are there really products that can stop and even prevent further rust?

I have a clarion deck and four factory speakers( two 5 1/2s and two 4x6s). When i start my truck the speakers work just fine, but at random times they will just stop working, but my stereo doesn't shut off, just the sound does from the speakers. I went to aspen sound and they said it was a blown speaker, which sounds right because one of my speakers sounds fuzzy and unclear. But i don't get how the speakers will sometimes work for a couple of days without shutting off and then sometimes only a couple of seconds. So i think it would be a bad connection or pinched wire behind the deck. It just doesnt make any sense that it would be a blown speaker if the sound shuts off when i slam the door or hit a speed bump. What do you think?

Need a case to protect my Tomtom sat nav screen. My original one - the screen cracked last week. Not sure how it happened as I've carried it fine in my handbag for months, and my bag never got thrown about. Tesco replaced it, thank goodness, but I don't want to run the risk of it happening again. Just had a look on Ebay - some seem to be just for transporting the unit, others are designed to stay on during use. What's the best one for screen protection. Any links?

Thanks!

I live next to a track and noticed that sometimes they give short whistles and sometimes they have long whistles. They almost always whistle 5 times.
And how can I find out when the trains are scheduled(freight only I think)?

I had an accident few days ago. A lady driver ran through a stop light and hit me.

Anyway the ins. company wnats to totall the car, since the car repair costs ($7500) exceed 70% of the value of the car($9200).

Do I have any rights to sue the lady driver to get me another car (similar to Lexus). Any suggestions.

My car has been sporadically getting hot...I found no steam, or drips, in the beginning, but now, I must fill the water collant all the time. There is water drips in the center midlle under the engine. However my air conditioner also drips. which makes things confusing to me.

I have heard different opinions from different mechanics, one said it could be the water pump, the other says it could be a blown gasket. How do I know the difference, the pump is cheap, the gasket job would be about $2000! Neither mechanic could "find" where it was coming from !?!

I don't want to waste my money fixing the wrong thing! How do I find out for sure if it is a water pump or a blown gasket.

Is it worth fixing at this time?

I need help here!

One from Chicago, one from L.A. both full of women and young children.
They are both going 150 MPH and they are on the same track with no pull over and the radio systems are down so they have no way of knowing what's going to happen.
They are about an hour away from each other (150 miles away).
WHOOOOOO do you choose to call to save these poor women and children?

a. Chuck Norris *****

Brakes on Subaru Forester make a squeal sound. Was told this is because the brake pads are metallic and metallic pads will "squeal" as they get hot.

Car just was in for inspection and brakes were fine and passed inspection.

Doesn't make the sound all the time, but no pattern to the noise (sometimes will squeal when real hot out, sometimes will not, etc.).

Seems to make noise mainly on Passenger side of vehicle.

Any info would be appreciated!

Hello, I have a 96' mitsubishi eclipse, and recently it started to make this squieking noise when i turn left or right. It seems to be coming from the steering wheel. Also it became much harder to turn the steering wheel. Please help, people who know stuff about cars. What could this problem be? Solution? If I'll have to fix anything how much will it cost me?

Thanks everyone.

I know this seems like a stupid question & I'd really have to ask the individual seller, however, in general are people who sell cars online willing to ship to for example, from England to Northern Ireland? So would people advertising cars online want to appeal to prosective customers further away & so be willing to ship?

I have a 1998 ford mondeo 2.5 V6 ghia. it is overheating, there is no signs to indicate a head gasket, (oil in water, water in oil etc) but it still boils the water, running into the red. this is even on very light journeys (couple of miles if that) we took out the thermostat, didn't work. then we replaced the radiator as the old one had some blockages, still no joy. any other segestions? Thanks.
