The problem is, this is a 6 cylinder 2.5L pain in the butt engine. It looks like the alternator is tucked under the front (well, side) of the engine near the front of the car. I am able to remove the top bolt, but the bottom bolt is right up next to another pully.

I'm well over 100,000 miles and need to change the plugs. I put it off because I can't even get close to the driver side plug nearest the firewall. The middle plug on the same side is extremely difficult to get to also. What is the procedure to do this?

Any other things to do for a tune up on this beast?

I have looked on ebay and several other sites with no luck. The emblem should be a reddish color because the grill is all chrome. Thank you!

ok, a friend of mine is 21 and living at home with her parents, she wants to get her car/insurance.. they say that if she gets her own insurance at their address then their rate will go up, I told her that this is false, only her insurance will be her responsibility and her parents will have nothing to do with it.. meaning no surcharges on their plan, or an additional payment on their plan, even if they are with the same company... is this correct or am I making an @ss out of myself????


please answer with as much detail as possible, not just a "correct" or a "no"

I am considering switching my Auto Coverage (from Farmer's) to Progressive and would like to hear about anyone's experience in having to file a claim with them after an unfortunate accident.
I am in the process of getting an online quote from them.

Thanks.

I'm working towards a life long dream of owning and sailing my own catamaran around the world over a period of about 15 + years, meeting new and interesting people and helping all mankind wherever I can. I would like to learn as much as possible about ocean sailing / cruising before I leave and therefore would really appreciate any help in this regard. I'm more than willing to pay for any postage costs. Many thanks.

I am going to visit my girlfriend on a day off work and was planning to go barefoot as it is more comfortable.
However I have to catch a train during the busy morning rush when commuters are going to work in smart clothes.
Is it okay to wear bare feet on the trip or is this completely out of place?

Recently, the driver's seat belt broke in my 1995 Saab 900S, and yesterday the passenger side airbag went off while I was driving down a newly paved road @ 40 mph. I think these are product liability issues, not insurance or warranty issues. Seat belts mechanisms in a car like that are not supposed to just break, and certainly there is no excuse for an airbag spontaneously going off while driving, endangering my life.

Am I right? Do I have a case for them to fix these things without charging me?

When I indicate to turn left, they is no problem, when I indicate to turn right the green triangle shaped lights on my dash board flash every second and the sound is more paced. What is going on with them? How can I get them fixed or will it go away it self?

I don't know much about cars but I wanted to buy a DVD screen for the front of my car, I found one on eBay in a car http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Celica-ST2-0-Modified-Car-Audio-DVD-Screen-Subs-Focal_W0QQitemZ220142751349QQihZ012QQcategoryZ18290QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
It is the 3rd picture down on the left if you scroll to the bottom of the page.
I just wondered if anyone knew what they are called ?
My friend said he thought they were called DVD Head Units as it says on the description on eBay, but when I type it in it doesn't have the ones where the screen flips out ( Which is what I want so people can't see I have one! )
Sorry about the simple car jargon words.
I will choose a best answer. Thanks.

Just bought a Corsa 1.5 GLS TD. Was curious what 'GLS' actually means?
