Cars & Transportation - 4 September 2007

I posted yesterday, have a 93 civic ex 1.6l that isint responding when I turn down. The battery is fine I have tried a replacement. When i turn I get a click from the main relay and occasional sluggish light crank that dies after 1-3 seconds from the engine. I've recieved different opinions from auto stores 2 out of 3 said starter the other alternator, but they wouldn't test unless I could tow to them. I'd appreciate any opinions. Thank you.

Obviously, I am comparing the differences in structural layout and the locations of parts (oil pan and filter, exhaust system, etc.) if that gives you any idea of what I would be looking for and you know a good site please let me know, and my thanks in advance. :-)

a car repair shop has opened on my front street but are parking numerous vehicles on the front street for weeks-months at a time. the cars are taxed but it is effecting residents as we cannot park, they are also blocking the back streets. they do not drive safely or with due care as the speed up and down the street.

I am thinking of becoming a train driver and was wondering if anyone knows of a book that explains the tracks and signalling etc. For example, you get the highway code book for cars. Is there anything similar for trains? For UK train systems

Yes like i said i am trading my car for another car. This is a private party transaction and there is no money involved. Both of the cars are paid off and have no leins, also both owners have the titles to the cars. So, my question is do i need to get a bill of sale if SO how do i get one. I live in Alabama, Usa.

My grandmother has an older model mercury sable. The car drags 5-6 revolutions before finally starting. It has been doing this for couple of weeks, so don't think its the alternator or battery. Belt squeaks, especially at idle, bad bearing in one of the pulleys or what?

I have a 1984 75 HP Mercury outboard motor, it runs good when it’s out of the water, BUT when there is a load behind it, in the water is bogs down and dies. I’ve had the carbs rebuilt, fuel lines replaced, fuel tanks cleaned, filters added, stator replaced and the certified mercury mechanic spent 5 hours trouble shooting Saturday and can’t find the problem. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I have already worked for a company & they said so long as it was over 3 years old it was fine, I just wondered if anyone knew where I stood legally.

They have asked if I have a full UK licence which i have said yes, but surely they would ask about convictions before employing someone?

Just worried if I accept a job & then they say we cant emply you because of this reason.

Please help, & i would never drink & drive again.

ok here's the deal...i live in texas...when i lived in california, they had this system where when you get a ticket you get points taken off (unless you take traffic school) your license and if you get so many taken off you get your license suspended. OK, so, does texas do that too? I got into a car accident and it was my fault..do they take points off too? im really scared of getting my license suspended cuz i only have 4 left!!!

My in-laws just bought a new Toyota and opted not to buy the extended warranty at this time.
The guy said they could purchase the Toyota extended warranty any time for the same price as long as it was during the existing warranty period. Is this correct?

While working on the car I touched the live wire for the alternator, the alternator emitted some smoke but a large portion came from the back of the engine block, already checked the coil and it appears fine. No power to any part of the car, battery is fine any suggestions.

Not only does this vehicle look like a hearse, but no amount of chrome can make this monstrosity look 'pimp'. Im sick of seeing people who spend 7k on metal wheels thinking it'll somehow make up for the ugly design.
I see this alot though, americans love to splash alot of money on expensive wheels for ugly vehicles. No taste.

My Heritage hangs up in third gear shifting to 4th on the way up and shifting to 2nd on way down. It requires moderate acceleration to higher RPM to be able to shift. Is this the beggining of the failure of the tranny or just some sort of adjustment that needs to be made or too tough to tell? Only 11K miles and well taken care of. I thought the warranty was 36 months and found out it is 24 months. Any suggestions?

My ex stopped making the payments on a car that is in my name. i know signing for it was a stupid thing to do and i'm trying to get rid of the car and deal with the consequences. i can't sell it, i've been trying, and chrysler won't take the darn thing back under voluntary repossession! i've already told them i can't make the payments! what's the difference between taking it now and taking it in 9 months when i haven't sent them a dime! what do i do with this stupid car?!?!!?!? i have my own car that i'm making payments on - will they try to take that one?

In the UK and western Europe speedometers over read your speed by about 10%, but when I was in Canada I noticed the speed seemed to be very accurate. Was this just the car I was in or is this standard practice?

Does anyone know where to find the paint color number on a 2000 Grand Prix. I just want to buy a bottle of touch-up paint. I have called our body shop and been to the parts store. The number is not where the body shop said it would be and the guy at the parts store couldn't find it. So far I have looked under the trunk lid, driver and passenger doors, in the glove box, in the console storage compartment, and under the hood with no luck. Found stickers with all kinds of numbers but so far no color. You would think the manufacturers would pick a spot and stick to it, but no that would make too much sense.
