Personally, I think the 92 to 95 929 was a rolling work of art. Do you see the 929 or Millenia being collectible in the future?

There has been Public-private Policy in UK for transport upgrade investment. so which financial, government body or any private company ready to finance the Thameslink Project.
Govt. has already announced the 3.5bn pound grant, what about the rest?

Basically looking for a miracle I suppose. When I start my car, the car has problems shifting. Most of the time it's a hard shift, sometimes the gears slip. Basically it sounds horrible, and it does it everytime the car shifts. Here's the caveat. If I wait for the engine to warm up AND re-start the car, everything works fine. Just the engine warming up itself doesn't change anything as I actually have to stop and restart the car.

Took it to a transmission guy and he looked at it. Thought there might be some electrical problem, but in the end he thought it was something inside the transmission. So I'd have to spend some serious cash to get that fixed. Which isn't worth it given the age of the car.

So I'm wondering if there is anything else that could be wrong with it without having to fix the transmission. It seems odd the the car works fine after I restart it when the engine heats up. Thanks for the help.

I don't know why they have it as optional unless it is to protect your valuables, anyone know the deal with rental insurance or is it just another money thing? Thanks

Bicycles speeding through bus-stops missing children and old folks, motor-cyclists speeding and revving up their machines past midnight? Should all owners and bicycles be registered so that when there is a serious injury or a fatality, legal action can be taken? Many countries still do not practise this and it is a most worrying trend for all pedestrians.

I just bought a new 2007 Yaris (has 5000 miles) and i've only driven it for 3 weeks now and about 150 miles and this morning going to work (about a 5 min drive) the coolant light came on. I checked the level and it was at HIGH. Is that ok or what could be going on? I don't want a car that overheats on me before I've made my first payment!

Hello i asked this question a few days ago but i left out a few details.....i recently purchased a 1997 pontic trans am....with 76000 miles on it....and when i brought it home there was engine coolant on the driveway.....and i think that was because the seller did not know the first think about a car and he just added so much coolant right to the top and it busted through the cap when i parked it in my driveway....also there is a light brown sludge or paste on the bottom of the stick....((((i know that alot of cars dont have a coolant check stick but this one does)))) so my first guess it would have to be a head gasket....but i just did a engine compression test on all 8 cylinders and they came out with 200-210 pounds of pressure which would indicate that the head gaskets are good....my question is why is there that sludge on the bottom of the engine coolant stick.....also the car does start to overheat when left on for about 20 mins but when i turn the heat on it seems to get cooler.

...But only when I run the air conditioner. It's a '99 Ford F-150.
Runs fine, and never had any trouble until this. The A/C works fine, and when I turn the A/C off, the temp. guage goes back to normal. Anybody know what this is from?

helpless-carless-broke.. female posting another plea for vehicle advice!
I have a 1989 Nissan Pathfinder.
I can fully charge the battery and drive it about 30 feet- then it dies again- I put the battery charger back on and there is no juice left. I have tried using a different / new battery..same thing happens.
I am pretty sure after talking to a few car pros that I either need to replace the alternator or the battery cables.
The thing is- #1 I can't figure out how to tell exactly what model number it is(its a 4WD but I don't know how you tell 4 or 6 CYL etc...so I can get the replacement part.
#2 I have seen pictures of the alternator but I am not sure where it is located in my vehicle.Everything looks the same to me. HAHA! I need to locate it so I can take it out-then to go get it tested to verify it is actually indeed the alternator.
guess I shoulda married a car salesman!

in the tank-and I changed the plugs-it doesnt have a cap/rotor as its wires go directly to the coil eliminating coil wire-cap rotor,etc.
