I have been unable to get the oil changed in my car because of time and money problems. I have a 2000 Focus that is running perfectly fine even though it's been nearly 10,000 miles and 8 months since I last changed the oil. What are the odds of something majorly bad happening to my car? I'll be able to change the oil soon. I just worry about the engine seizing and being unable to use the car at all.

however I can't find where it is leaking from. When I stop and pop the bonnet although I know it is too hot I can't see any sign of steam or leaks, and yet the coolant level had dropped right down.

How can I work out where the leak is?

I took my car in to Wal-Mart to have my oil changed and tires rotated, but they told me they couldnt rotate my tires because my outer tie rods needed replaced. I have noticed that my brakes are a little delayed when I press on them.

A friend of mine just took their nissan in to have it looked at because of a noise coming from under the car. He thought it was the wheels but Wal-Mart said it couldnt be and it was definitely the exhaust. He took it into a repair shop to find out that the bearings needed replaced....which is in the wheels not the exhaust....

So basically, I dont trust Wal-Mart... Could it be my outer tie rods? if so, how much would it cost to get them replaced?

Recently we have purchased a Z3(98) and it came with a Sony Radio. When driving it will shut off every now then and again. I have checked the wiring and it all seems to be in tact. Is it that the original wire does not supply enough power or is there something I am missing. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks David

The fluid level in my silva marine compasse appears to be at a lower level than i am used to seeing, A freind has the same model as mine and says same. There is no visible signs of leakage. Could this appear like this as result of changing barometric pressures. It has become quite the conversation material at the local watering hole. We are located on the sea of Cortez app. 200 miles south of the border on the inland side. any help with this would be great.

I was wondering, if one pops and it is replaced with the spare, what does the trucker do when the next one pops?

The owners installed 3 fuel filters and they said it would run after each istalltion and then die and not restart,
The fuel pump fuse is good and the relay is active when the key is turned on. I dont hear the pump priming; whats the chance of it being the pump? What lse could it be? If it is the pump; how can you safely remove the plastic ring w/o the special tool?

Apparently I'm supposed to grease my swingarm bolt and use the grease fitting if it has one. So do I need some kind of grease gun to get it into the fitting, is there more than one kind of gun? If there is a grease fitting, do I still have to take to bolt off and grease it?

My car is a honda civic,I have just replaced my drive shaft on the driver's side about 2 days ago. I didn't have any problem until today. While on the freeway I heard a loud continous thumping noise coming from under my car. I heard it yesterday but only at low speeds and it wasn't that loud. The problem might be that I put in the axle wrong but i have checked it out and everything seems to be in place. There is nothing that comes close to touching the driveshaft. When my foot is on the gas pedal the noise stops for a bit but when I release it the noise comes back on. I don' know what the problem is and plus I will hear it too if I make a left turn. Is it the drive shaft or something else?

I lowered my car by changing the springs. I still have the original struts and my car doesn't like any bumps. The back end is also bouncy. I plan on replacing the struts to get a better ride. Do I need special lowering struts ( I haven't found any anywhere) or can I get the self ajusting kind and be alright? Will they work or will I be wasting my time and money?

I have a 1998 Ford F150. The check engine light came on. I had it scanned and the code that came up was P1780 (transmission control out of range). What does this really mean? Is my truck going to get any worse?

My car went dead a while ago and got it towed to sears for repair and they did something with the battery, but I noticed they also sprayed some yellow stuff right on the cable connectors. Anyone knows what kind spray it is?
