It is burning antifreeze, the exhaust is white and smells like antifreeze. I know its either the head gasket or the head is cracked. It also leaks a little bit of oil in between the head and the block. Would that mean its the gasket or would a cracked head cause it to do that?

I think it's the sensor that tells the computer the coolant is cold. If so, where on the engine is it located? It's a 5.7L engine with a TBI. Thank you.

Are they random? My grandma has her birthday on her plates, and they were not personal plates, they were the random issue. Thanks

If you had a choice, which one would you choose?

Nissan Murano SL AWD or the Land Rover LR2

I am torn...more trunk space in the Murano, but nice leather seats in the LR2 and a drive similar to a Range Rover.

Anyone have an expert opinion on better performance, etc. of these vehicles?

Does anyone have any idea if you can replace this part yourself and if so how difficult is it? My key gets stuck in the ignition and is difficult to turn over and someone said it was the relay switch. Does this sound correct or is it something else?

This morning I found my passenger side rear view mirror missing. Not the whole assembly....just the glass/mirror part. Does this sound like car vandalism or could the mirror just have fallen off? Does it take much to pry off just the mirror? I'm just curious how this person who stole it was able to do it in plain view. I live in a heavily populated area. Someone is always around. Could it be the mirror just fell off?

This model has separate temperature controls for driver side passenger side and rear. When I am running A/C in any mode, cool air will come out for the passenger and rear, but the driver side will blow out very hot air making it unusable.

My husband and I are going on vacation to France and Italy. I want to put together some music for the journey (we are renting a car in both countries). However, I don't know for sure what sort of system these cars will have. The best bet of course it to bring an FM transmitter, because the cars will at least have radios. But, do FM transmitters bought in the US work just fine in Europe? Are the FM frequencies the same and the cigarette lighters universal? We'd be driving a Renault Twingo and a Fiat Punto or something similar, so these will probably be foreign cars.

My car was totaled about 2 weeks ago (my fault). I know that my finance company says that I'm required to have full coverage on the car at all times until it's paid off. Seeing as how my car is totaled and I don't even have possession of it anymore (my insurance company has it), can I cancel my insurance policy? I just don't see the need of paying insurance on a car I don't have and can no longer drive. I'm asking here on Yahoo Answers because my claims adjuster takes forever and a day to return my phone calls and my insurance premium is due in a few days.

My 1998 GMC Jimmy just had some work accomplished and the mechanic noticed that he could not flush the transmission due to the pipe being frozen to the radiator. How can I fix this problem without breaking something and having it cost a fortune?

Thank you!

Alpine

I already bought the Pioneer but I can get a refund and get the Alpine. I coulda sworn the Alpine sounded a looooot louder. Ont he same volumes. But Pioneer had more controls. Will Pioneer be loud too?

The Alpine has better FM Sensitivity and CD Signal-To-Noise. Is that why it's louder?

I just got a new Mustang Shelby GT 2007. I got it 2 days ago. Yesterday it rained and my brakes got all rusty. I think it was brake fluid but I am not sure. I can sort of rub it off with a rag. Are these brown spots rust or just brake fluid or something? Also, it this bad for a new car.

Well i did have it but it aint working and it will cost $1000 to fix. Is it possible to get a cooler for cars that you plug into your cigarette lighter? and when you are driving you can keep it open so the cold air comes out into the car? is that possible? and its not problem to always run it full force while you are driving right, because it runs on your alternator right, and your alternator keeps going forever right??? or should i buy a $100 square air conditioner and plug it into an inverter? and please dont say to roll down the windows, as it doesnt keep you cool enough and is extremely irritating for long periods and you cant hear your music. thanx!!
