I just had my 2007 Brand New car stolen from me a gun point. They got nothing but my car but it can be replace. My 66 Continental keys were on the ring. The next day I ordered my ignition, doors and lock set plus 3 sets of blank keys for my Continental. What's some other security measures I can take more advanced than a kill-switch that I can install on the car and not effect the originality of the car? Your advice would be appreciated.

1985 Chevy? I bought the car as a hobby to bring it back up to top condition. The transmission and engine are still good. The problem I am having is that from the start the speedometer and the tachometer never worked, the speedometer does nothing and the tech is pegged to one side. Oil pressure still reads as well as fuel but the coolant temperature stop reading. Does this sound like a problem with the sensors, the computer or the panel itself. I found a digital panel at Summit for $475 range but need to know the best way to troubleshoot this before spending a lot of money for the incorrect problem. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks!!

I was debating with my wife about this topic, she had a 1995 Saturn, and I had a 1995 Lumina. She stated that she no longer sees any 1995 Saturns on the road and that she still sees many 1995 Luminas. I said it is because the probably sold many more Luminas than Saturns. She said when she bought her Saturn the dealer was sold out and she had to wait 5 weeks to get one and she thinks there were more Saturns sold than Luminas. I told her I thought the Lumina was a top seller that year. Where can I find statistical data for auto sales for 1995? Or anything that might help me out. Thanks

Does it make a difference if you do or do not, let off of brakes? I had heard before it helps, but then heard differently.

Recently, for some reason, it started acting differently. The steering wheel acts "tighter" and the car doesn't turn very easily, especially the right side. Mostly the right side. Anytime I try to turn to the right it's like my car just doesn't want to, and I have to fight to make it. I stopped driving it until I figure out what's wrong because I don't want to make it worse. I have plenty of power-steering fluid, and my wheels are still pointing the same direction. However, I sort of suspect it might have something to do with the frame or the axel? I don't know much about cars, but yeah, if anyone does, I'd love any advice. Also, any notion of whether my car is repairable, and how much it may cost, if it is something to do with the axles or frame or something like that?

A couple days ago I had to change the left rear caliper on my '95 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme using a Murray's refurbished replacement. After replacing it I used one of those one-man bleed kits to bleed the two rear calipers. When done I took her out for a test drive but noticed the brakes felt spongy and weak; the pedal seemed to have too much play.

Well of course I figured there was still air left in the lines and I'd have to bleed the system again. But when I drove the car the next morning the brakes felt firm and solid! Since the brake lines can't bleed themselves I figured some nice car elves must have dropped by during the night and did all the work for me. How thoughtful of them! What's the best way for me to thank them for their kindness?

I have a 1967 Chevy truck and I've just change out the turnsignal switch to repair my brake light problem and now only the rear lights on my truck work when I turn on either the parking or driving lights. I've checked the two fuses that go straight to the headlights and they were good. Please help!!

I have seen a few questions on 4x4 blazers but nothing on 2x4 s-10. i was wondering if i did it myself, will petboys or somewhere be able to press the bearing in and out for me? I havnt ever done anything in the hub or bearing area so if someone has done thing, what would be the dificulty rating and how much would a dealer and other shop charge? I do plan on getting a manual if i do this myself.
