Cars & Transportation - 11 July 2007

I have had an issue where Antifreeze is spitting out out the Radiator cap when running the engine at 3000- 4000 RPM while underway . This does not happen at the dock, only when there is a load on the engine. I noticed that part of the lip of the Fresh Water Reservoir where the radiator cap goes on is missing, thus not giving the cap something to hold it down on one side. I found a replacement part, and I'm currently in the process of replacing it.

After removing the Reservoir, I notice that the Antifreeze level in the Manifold was low, less than half full. Should the Antifreeze level be up to the top before I put the New Reservoir back on?

Also, if this does not fix the problem, aside from over hearting issues, what else could make the Antifreeze leak out of the cap while underway.

Thanks!

Does anyone know of any car insurance dealers that are kind(er) to drink drivers?

All my qoutes are high and I just don't have the money to be forking out on car insurance. I have just bought my first flat and have a baby on the way...I wish they could see that circumstances have changed!!!

What is the result of cars crashing at a relative speed of more than 200kph and trains derailing at more than 350kph? More and more powerful of these vehicles are being built. Is there a crazy plan I wonder for them to replace planes?

Like i know when you have bad credit usually you have to pay more for things in the long run such as a cell phone they may ask you to put down a safety deposit before issuing service etc......but if i were to apply for a car lease with less than perfect credit am i just looking at a high downpayment/interest rate or is it very possible that I may be denied the lease all together?

Does my morning train driver actually operate the train, or is it controlled by a centralised computer like the Tube ?

I know they have a handle they release in case of emergency, and operate doors, etc ...

But do they actually govern speed, etc ....

I'm gonna go off to college soon and I won't be able to afford a new car. So how much would a USED Lexus cost me? Preferably made in the year 2000 or after. I want one that looks like this...

I tipped the bike on its side while it was running, it dumped some oil out and was promptly shut off. ( it ran less than a minute thirty on its side) when we flipped right side up... it wouldn't start. This is an inline four cylinder sport bike aka crotch rocket. Someone suggested cleaning out the air filter, removing the spark plugs, adding oil till the dipstick read full, and hand cranking (by putting a wrench on the sprocket) the engine for a few turns, then putting the spark plugs back in and attempting to start the bike.... My question is.... DOES THIS SOUND LIKE IT MIGHT WORK?

I was in a car accident in March. It was determined as my fault. I just received a letter from my insurance adjuster stating that the claims for damages may exceed my policy limits. The letter stated that I have the right to consult legal counsel in this matter. What do I do in this situation?

My pickup seems to lose power when it is hot out and i run the ac. Is there anything that i could do to stop this. I have custom dual exhaust, tuner, kn intake kit. Wondering if its the heat being sucked up by intake or if the tranny is getting too hot.

I dont have this problem when the ac is off. So i know the ac is causing something any ideas.
