i have a 2001 bmw 525i. i need to replace the emblem on the hood but i cant see the backing of the emblem. there seems to be a metal plate welded to the underside of the hood that blocks access to the backing of the emblem. this plate is an original part to the car. not sure why it was built that way seeing as the emblems need to be replaced every few years. what can i do?

I live in northwestern ohio. These spiders are in my basement, many of them. There are virtually no webs that I know of them and they are typically on the ground or near the bottom of the walls.

Nobody has been able to identify these spiders yet, and I'm challening you to. I wish to know if they are dangerous or not.

I think it was around 15 years ago, and some people were killed when they were pinned between the car and a wall. 60 Minutes did a story on it.

Did they prove that it was caused or not caused by the transmission?

Driving is the #1 killer of teenagers in the US, between 6000 to 10,000 teens die each year yet parents shop for the cheapest driver education & training they can find. My friend got a job at a cut-rate driving school in CA and they gave him 1 1/2 hours (90 minutes) of instructor training before sending him out to teach teenagers in the car without an instructor's license and before his criminal background check was finished. He couldn't believe how parents just dropped off their children without even meeting the instructor or asking what the training included. My friend also told me that the CA DMV doesn't require instructors to take a drive test to prove that they know how to drive. There was another instructor at this cut-rate cheap driving school who had been working there for 3 years and had never taken a teenager on the freeway. He reported this to the DMV Investigations and nothing happened to this school. He was professionally retrained at another, more expensive school.

i posted something about my car recently, and yesterday i was coming back from work, and i notice my car was hesitating a lot. and i thought you know maybe it was the wind because it was really windy that day. plus it was raining, and there was alot of water on the street,( you can go and read my recent posts about my car)so here i am on the freeway and my car completly slows down i couldnt accelerate, my brake light popped on and the car just stopped. i couldnt move the steering wheel and so i parked in the shoulder and i then i turned the car off for like a min or two then i turned it back on. and then it was driving like it didnt shut down. so drove to the nearest exit and waited like 2 hours for a tow truck, it starts and drives fine, but i dont want to be on the freeway when that happens.. what do you think could be going on with my car? the "service engine light" comes on and off frequently and i dont know what this means? the car is a 02 Nissan Altima,has 66,000 miles.

I admit i hit the car but the car was blocking my neighbors driveway and was 18 inches away from the curb. The curb the car was parked by, was not long enough for him to park without at least blocking mine or my neighbors driveway. I live in California since i know different states have different laws.I also went ahead and took pictures just in case.

I need to know if the AXOD Transmission from an 88 Taurus will work and run fine in a 96 Taurus. Aside from the 96 having an Electronic control. What is the internal differnce in the transmission and why would it not work? I mean if I where to leave the harness disconnected from the transmission would the non-electronic AXOD out of the 88 run normal? Or would there be other issues? Not sure what else I can add to get my question across. If anyone has done a swap like this I would like to hear from you Thanks.

Like title says 1987 Erude XP150 alarm at WOT only, this only occurs when I run WOT, either after on plane or from dead stop. I can run 40-45 for 15 miles at a time and no alarms, but if I push it to WOT buzzer sounds, seems to be solid buzzer , If I back off back to 35-40 the buzzer goes off.

Replaced Thermo Stats and water pump couple months ago. VRO pump disconnected by service guy b4 i bought this boat.
Ive seen a few posts on other boards that mention fuel restriction issues, and someone mentioned a vacuum sensor ? I couldn't find anything in manual about a vacuum sensor.. I need someone to go with me to monitor bulb to see if its getting flat at WOT. so until I can get some one to go .. I don't know about that one. someone else mention anti back flow in tank. or how to test some of the above suggestions given to me previously

Any suggestions I haven't tried or done already?

Thanx , Sean
