I need to get a spare bmw key but I can't pay what the dealer pretends to rip me off!
Does any one know where can I get some aftermarket spare?

That daft wee box at traffic lights for bikes to get priority when the light go green. Why? I have never seen a bike out run a car. With 10 yards of the lights the bike is causing an obstruction to following vehicles and that surely defeats the point of allowing cyclists to be there in the first place?

Generally, which one is better? Why is that car fax reports 7 records for VIN 1G2WP1214WF251115, but autocheck has 14 ( I have no Idea what the records are of though)?

If I was to talk my parents in to buying an unlimited plan, I assume autocheck would be the better choice?

I'm a World War II collector, and the possibility of owning a period vehicle has only recently come to mind. I know there are aircraft bone yards in Arizona, and you can buy the planes (however damaged they may be). But where would you go to buy a tank, or a Howitzer, or something?

I drive a car and when I drive I see children of between 6-14.playing or walking in the roads ..albeit the side roads .I can drive slowly towards my home and they stand there waiting until the last moment before moving towards the side of the road..sometimes you have to press the horn to get them to move ..don't they realise CARS KILL.

OK stupid question, more to the point is should i risk the train actually being on time. Tomorrow i have to catch a train from woking at 10.46, however i have to get there first. Do i risk it and go for the 9.57 train which gets me there at 10.44 or play it safe and get the 9.18 train which gets me there at 9.59 in which case i will have to wait there for 50 minutes.

make my decision for me please

I have a 99 Plymouth Neon. It started leaking oil,very slowly at first,then more noticable recently.
My mechanic says it is the head gasket,which he said is a common problem with this car. It will cost approx $1200 to fix. I only have a little over 32,000 miles on it. Is it worth fixing or are there other major problems in my near future with this car? What other problems are these cars known for? I haven't spent a penny for repairs on this car since I bought it new except for the routine and common things,oil changes,new tires,etc.
Trying to get opinions of others who may have had the same problem or from a mechanic. Thanks.

Mice keep building nest in my fan system and have even had babies in my heating/air conditions system. They have been caught in the fan and died in it which has caused my car the smell very bad. It has cost me a lot of money to have the garage remove the nest and dead mice.

It's a 1998 Mark 4. The handbrake cable is adjusted up and is fully tight on the 5th notch. But the car won't hold on a hill. The normal footbrake operation is fine. I removed the rear hubs and could find nothing wrong. There is plenty of lining left. Help!
