I basically had an accident last November that wasn't my fault. I was on a roundabout and someone pulled out of a junction slap-bang in front of me, and slap-bang went my car into the side of their's. After a long time of wranglings between me and AA they have finally said they'l be sending an "independent engineer" to come and look at the car to establish who was at fault. I assume "independent engineer" means a guy from a local garage, as I doubt AA have assessors travelling the country looking at peoples cars. Can I expect this engineer simply to take notes and then report the facts, or can I basically expect this guy to ask loads of probing questions while he is here in a bid to make me say something he can use along with the damage to say it was my fault? I think he may not care less if it is a mechanic from a local garage, but though I'd ask for advice from people who have been in the same situation - particularly with the AA (or anyone who works for the AA).

I would greatly appreciate it. I've tried classified car ads, craigslist, and a couple other sites but I still can't seem to find one. Just give me anything u can find. A website or someone including yourself that sells them. It would be better if its custom made already including: Interior, paint, rims ('22 or ^), sound system. if it doesnt a caprice in good condition would be fine also.

I just drove 10 miles after the oil change and the oil filter fell off, when i was on highway. I pulled-off & checked my engine to see that there was no oil left. My engine got locked out!

I reported to the Jiffy lube & customer service person says that they will take care of the repair. Means, they will replace my engine with a used engine.

What would be the best resolution at this point?

I do not want to let them put some engine in my car and escape from what they had done. How can i rely on a used engine that they put in? My car was a well maintained 2000 Toyota Corolla.

Should i go to small claims court & get a compensation for the car rather than going for replacing the engine? I dont know how it will work out and how long it would take. I dont have any contacts with a lawyer to take legal views etc.

I appreciate and thank you for your suggestions. I am from Cincinnati, Ohio

I purchased a secondhand Pathfinder (1999, petrol, auto) about 12 months ago, and I'm thinking it chews a bit too much fuel. Ever since I got it, it has used a full tank of fuel (70+ litres) to about 400km city driving, and a bit over 500km on the highway. It doesn't appear to do any better when run on premium unleaded (trial of 3 tanks), and only gets about 80% of that when an ethanol blend is added. I had it serviced (not Nissan) about 6 months ago, and there was no change in consumption. Can anyone help?

My friend thinks it would be cool to hotwire her car instead of paying big bucks. I have been working on the brakes but want to setup some switches for her new flip-switch ignition. The only problem is i don't know which wires they are, there are so many in the engine compartment. She has a 95 Nissan Altima GXE. It's basically a junker and i'm sure that's why she doesn't mind. haha (no plan to resell it).

So if anyone can please help me please her by directing me to finding the right wires or even just the colors, i'd know what to do once i found them. All input is greatly appreciated.

I really do not trust mechanics here in Detroit,MI. (past expierence) When has there ever been a oil change with no oil/ $120 full tune up with the same air filter??? Those ar ejust a few problems I have encountered with this scam artist here in Detroit,MI. My question is do I have the right to watch the mechanic work on my vehicle inside the garage area to make sure he is actually changing out the right parts????

My uncle bought a car, but could not get it registered. He asked me to register the car for him. I did. First Mistake. He stopped paying the insurance, so I called the police to see what I could do. They told me to report the car as unauthorized use. and report the situation to DMV. DMV asked if he was supposed to drive the car, I said no. Since he started back drinking and quit his job, I was not helping him anymore. He would not go to DMV to transfer the title back to his name, and had been avoiding me. So the I canceled the tags and registration, but the title is still in my name. DMV referred me to the courts for the title. So the courts reffered me to get an attorney, because he has since then stolen the title from me,Summary. He bought the car, I registered it, and canceled the tags, reported the car to the cops and unauthorized use, Am I still responsible for anything he does in this car. He has been pulled over but never arrested.

I have had this problem for quite a while..ever since I added my K&N air filter. My truck is a 06 Ram 3500 with an automatic transmission. I have recently added an AFE State 2 intake and an ATS Arc Flow intake manifold, and have noticed the problem when the turbo starts to push 25 PSI. The boost gauge will drop dramatically about three times from 28 to 25 and then down to about 18 PSI, what can I do to help correct this problem???

Anything would be of help...

Thank you...

Lets say you bought a brand New BMW, and you are professional mechanic and you modified the car with differnet other brand cars to make it your dream car...
You do so much modification that at the end you wouldnt be able to tell if it was BMW or AUDI or FORD or whatever, coz it has pretty much everything...

NOW my question is, what CAR (name) will DMV register it in their record after all your modification that you did ???
Will they leave it as BMW lets say (318, black colour, bla bla bla...) that you bought it, or they will make up smthin? :D

I was given this useful pamphlet on the parts that are located under the hood of my car (ex. engine oil filter, belts, power steering fluid)

it has directed me to check monthly making sure that these and others are in good condition and working well.

I plan on going to a technician for a full check up someday, but can I also look for myself?

It's legal to drive with your permit but only if you're accompanied by a licesnsed driver of 25 and over, but can you also drive with a passenger on too?
