What kind/type of power steering fluid should I use for a 2003 Dodge Neon? The owners manual says transmission fluid. But that doesn't make sense to me. Im not a car person so it could be correct. I just wanted to see if that was right or if there were any other suggestions/answers.

Everytime I rev the engine up before shifting, the glass on my odometer rattles and sounds like crap. When I rest my hand on it, it stops so that is definitely it. It doesn't appear to unscrew, any ideas on how to tighten the glass? Can it be removed somehow?

Hi there, I am a young man who wants to learn about motorcycle mechanics (and mechanics in general). I have no prior knowledge and don't know the difference between a saddle and a spark plug.

I have about £100 to spend on a motorcycle that will live in my garage, for me to tinket with, take apart, put back together and maybe even ride one day if I do not break it entirely!

What bike, available in the UK, would you recommend- and where's the best place to look? Obviously I am aiming at a basket case but it would be nice if it ran, even very roughly.

Thanks

I don't know if this is normal or not, but sometimes when I let the clutch pedal out (as in when I start to accelerate) it makes a sligh vibration. It's not bad, but very slight. Also, sometimes in first gear after the clutch pedal is all the way out, there is a small rattling noise just as I have let the pedal all the way out and begin to accelerate. It's not a grinding, just a soft rattle. It goes away very quickly and only happens in first gear. But the gear shifts are very smooth and the clutch does not slip at ALL. ideas?

all the parking metres in my area (fulham, london) wont give any change, i just wondered if the council wanted to could they flick a switch inside the machine to give out change, i just wondered if this was just another way the council scam extra money from us all, or if the metre just isnt designed to give change, im sure the could if they wanted.

I used the SUV all morning before I got the keys made and it ran fine. Once I used the new key, the car would not start anymore. I have no electricity to the car at all. Does any one have any suggestions?

I am considering buying a leased car at the residual value, keeping it for 6-12 months, and then selling it to my son. I realize I will be responsible for the sales tax when I purchase it (since I've already only paid sales tax on the depreciation). However, when I sell it to my son, will he then also be responsible for sales tax? Seems to me the state already collected the tax on the full value of the car when I bought it. Isn't this double taxation. BTW, I live in NJ.

I just read that the Mexican truck drivers, now allowed to go anywhere in the US are upset that they will have to be able to speak and understand english. This seems safe to me. Why are they upset? US drivers in Mexico will have to speak Spanish, and no one in the US is upset over that.

When I turn the ignition, it just kind of turns over and sounds hoarse like its trying...

Should I add oil to the car manually?

Should I drive it to the oil change place if I can start it or will that totally damage the car?

I have a 1999 T reg Ford Focus 1.8 petrol (69000 miles) and wondered if on a 250 mile motorway run I should use up any engine oil and if so roughly how much (in ml)?
On these engines (Zetec E), by how much could you overfill the engine before it would cause damage e.g. the crankshaft whipping up the oil?

I have a big block 460 cubic inch 1970 Ford. The car will NOT start unless I prime it by pouring a small amount of gas into the carb. Then it will run just fine and run forever. Until it is shut off. Then must be primed again. What is the problem?
