The last 2 times I have changed my brakes on my trailblazer the rear brakes have been worn out quickly. My front brakes are only about half worn. Is this normal?

Hello folks. I got a new battery for my Suzuki SV650 today. It came with two strips, or racks, of plastic bottles (six in each) containing acid and the instructions only mention using one of these. Do i use both or is the second lot a spare or for topping up later? It is a sealed battery type. Also, one of the first six didn't empty, not pierced properly I guess. Should I take it off before this one empties? I have tried tapping it etc but can't get it to go in. Any advice?

He also said I should replace the plugs for a total of $300, which just happens to be all the money I have right now and I just lost my job :-(. Can I hold off on the plugs for now? The mechanic said he couldn't gaurantee how it will run. Or should I just fork it over and eat bread and water for now. BTW - I have a 2001 Mercure Sable GS

I've almost bought one. It is such a beautiful bike. It was imported fromjapan. So there are no fluids in it. So I'm buying it without even starting it. I just kicked it once to make sure it's not frozen. But I'm paying only 270$ for it.
So are they good bikes? Do they move? Any one's got one?

I had Walmart install a new battery in my minivan - a mercury villager. The positive cable is totally loose; and the negative cable had to be hammered down to stay on. The Ford dealer just called & said both cables should be replaced because the battery terminals are shot, i.e., won't adjust. Cost to replace both terminals is $309.00. My question is this cost reasonable? Do i even need whole new cables as opposed to just replacing the battery terminals? And is Walmart culpable? Thanks.

"Service Engine Soon" light on.
Diagnostic indicates air leak in both manifolds (V8).
Gas cap seems to be working properly.
If there is a separate diagnostic for the L and R manifolds there must be separate sensors, correct?
BMW 8 cyl. 75,000.
Seems impossible that both the L and R sprang a leak in the exact same week.
Mechanic recommends gasket replacement.
If result doesn't work, mechanic says replace manifold.

Swapping out a mechanical radiator fan for an electric one? I have an '06 Trailblazer and was considering doing this.

So here are the symptoms (for a 92 Honda Civic):

It began with my horn not working. I figured I blew a fuse, but can't find a fuse that correlates with the horn. No big deal, but then my dash-board lights starting flickering on and off on occassion.

Now, the worst part, my stereo system makes a HORRIBLE piercing screeching noise when I start the car. Sometimes it stops, but it's gotten progressively worse and now it tends to just keep screeching and not work at all. So I have to keep it turned off. The noise in unbearable. When the radio does work, I can hear a subtle high pitch noise that gets louder as I press the gas.

I can handle most of it, but I really like to be able to listen to music. So I'm wondering, if this is some sort of electrical short, how bad is it, if it's affecting so many things?

Since my car isn't worth much, I can't see spending too much to fix this. I just want to be able to listen to my radio. What's the best and cheapest solution?

I recently had the 30000 mile service on my Toyota Highlander performed for $500. I think that is a lot of money. Other than the regular oil changes, which service is essential and which is not. The bulk of my bill was labor charges.
