Hi,
I have a gallon container (half full) of Prestone Antifreeze and a gallon container (3/4 full ) of Prestone purified water. I bought these about 14 years ago. Can I still use these to top the coolant level in my car from time to time ? . Is there really any such thing called expiry date on these things ? Thanks for your responses in advance !!!

I am going to purchase a 2000 Buick Century Custom. I looked at the recalls for it, and two of them could potentially be dangerous. How do I go about letting the dealership aware of this before I purchase it? Do they have an obligation to check the car out and see if it was affected by the recalls? Do I have to pay for potential repairs out of pocket for these recalls if affected?? Please help.

My car was purchased and registered in NJ. I am stationed in SC and i recently was told i need to put a plate on the front of my car. Now i know that you need to put 2 plates on when in NJ, but does that law apply for me down here too. If you can answer this question, please provide reasoning why your answer is correct?

Planes pretty much do fly themselves. The pilot does very little other than read the newspaper and drink coffee. It would take very little modification to make it fly alone completely. What are your thoughts on this

I have been trying for 4 days now to get a timing belt pulley wheel on the bottom of the engine off. There is a 18mm bolt on the pulley that is stubborn and wont come off. I have used a ratchet set with a 24 inch extender bar. I have used a Torque wrench, I have used an impact wrench, and I have even used a standard 3/8's ratchet socket wrench with a 5 foot bar, and still no budging. any ideas? BTW I did spray it with WD-40 and it still wont budge even the slightest, and I even tried to impact it by tightening and loosening it, and still nothing, if I cant figure something out, I am tempted to try a breaker bar, but I dont want to break the bolt... need advice!

It was not me speeding stupidly I am pleased to say.

I have been asked by a friend today if I know punishment for speeding on a 50/60 mph dual carriageway doing about just under 100mph but my friend didnt realise they were there till last minute so it could have been 110/120 mph.

It was a unmarked camera van. I would think a ban but not sure?

and car started making noise, stopped to put oil in, check engine light went off, continued driving, but then white smoke started coming from underneath hood and I broke down in front of rental car agency - ha ha. When AAA towed my car a serpentine belt fell off so we thought we just had to replace that. Replaced belt and started car and took oil cap off oil then sprayed out at high velocity. And engine is now making a tapping noise. Any ideas?

It is white, 4 door, CD Player, great mileage. Unfortunately I was in a fender bender that ended up having to fix the front bumper and I was t-boned on the drivers side. Neither accident resulted in injury of anyone, so they obviously werent that bad. Both issues were fixed and the car runs perfect. It has about 35K miles on it and tinted windows. I'm trying to sell it to have money for a down payment to buy hubby a new truck for our anniversary:) Plus, I dont really like it, too small for me! It was purchased as a temporary ride, since I was deploying and I didn't want to buy anything too nice just to have it be in storage for over a year! I appreciate any help!

on the insurance as second and/or third drivers because it cuts my premiums.
AS far as i know they are both insured fully comp on their own cars. If I have an accident whilst driving my own car, where I am insured as the main driver, will their ncb on their own insurances on their own cars be affected if I need to make a claim?

I have had a sprinkler system and hot sun hit my car for weeks. I, through research and a lot of elbow grease, have managed to get the calcium stains off my black paint, but am having problems getting the circular hard water stains off of my windows and windshield. I have tried vinger based products, CLR, newspaper buffing, and other methods. I am wary about using a #0000 pad because I am afraid that I might scratch the glass. Any thoughts and suggestions would be welcome.

For some reason I can't find out what the liter system in an engine means.

For instance, there are cars that are like "1.8 liter" 4 cyl. like the honda civic

or a chevy truck with a "6.6 liter" V-8 turbo diesel

considering that is kind of small and I know that the engine is much bigger than a few liters, what does it all mean?

Is each of the liters like the size of the cylinders or the pistons?
