I have recently put a Blaupunkt 520 CD player in a Holden Astra ...
I have the code but the screen does not ask for it.
When you turn the car on, the lights come on the panel to show there is power running to it, but never asks me to input the security code and therefore produces no sound... Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

It was my 50th bday last week and I'm trying to cut down on my car insurance costs. Can anyone recommend any insurers that offer cheaper prices for drivers over 50?

I live in an area that's falling into the sea. The surveyors say my garage will fall into the sea within the next 3 years. Do you think I need to declare this to my car insurer, and can someone let me know if any company will cover me please? Thanks, x

Mine is a Toyota Vios (Belta) 1.5E with manual transmission. Is is true that I'm not supposed to rev it up to 4000rpm for the 1st 1000km?

If I book a railway ticket of central railway and get a confirmed seat, how will I know where my coach will come? I know I may sound stupid but since I have not travelled much in trains need to know how does one determine the place where ones coach will come, as some of the times the charts on platforms are missing & there is no one on platforms ready to help.

Basically, I just did a compression test and all but 1 of my cylinders falls between 150-165. The #6 cylinder is at 145psi. What would a brand new model of this engine run at, and what should a typical engine of this model run at with my type of mileage. I'm just trying to guage the market and see if the engine in my burb is doing better or worse than other burbs of the same year/mileage.

Can anyone tell me why a responsible driver should not be able to open alcohol in their vehicle without punishment as long as they are not breaking any "real" driving laws or hurting anyone? What's the big deal? Having one drink while driving is illegal but you can have at least 3 before you get in the car and have alcohol in your system but be legal, and this is safer why? I'd rather be on the road with the person that has the least amount to drink but they are both within the legal BAC. Is this fair?

It is the part in between the front and back doors of a car, inbetween the windows, a verticle strip of either plastic or metal. My friends say that this is why they sit with their seat leaned back, so their head will be covered and not be in front of the window, where a bullet would easily pass through.

I want to hear what the majority of you think. Both initial and years down the road. Performance and reliability is what I am after here. Go ahead and turn it into a war between the two camps if you wish to do so. I am on the record for thinking that Harley puts out junk. Performance that matches a Yamaha Zuma scooter.( I know this since when ever I race a Harley or my buddy's scooter with my CBR the outcome is the same---W to the CBR) I work with a bunch of Harley guys and everyone of their bikes that is over a year old marks its spot with something that leaks out of it like an infected wound. Some may argue that they look better but that is subjective and to me they just look painful--painfully slow and unmanuverable. Please don't give me the arguement "how many 60 year old Jap bikes do you see on the road today because we all are intelegent enough to know that 60 years ago only a handful of Jap bikes were imported and the percentages of bikes still around are the same.

I need info reguarding engine, tranny, rearend, transfer case, etc. I have an '04 Silverado 2500HD 6.0L, 4 spd A/T, P/B 4x4, 4.10 gears, 4l80e tranny. I do not understand all that I read, for ex. I have no idea if my engine is a LS1-LS2-LS3-LS6-LS7 and what is the difference between those and an LQ4. I only know it is a Vortec. Is it TBI or TPI. Does it have an aluminum block or heads, or is it all cast iron. I would like to know this so I know what to look for and what I can do when start to upgrade the performance. I have heard that adding an aluminum head to the 6.0 can push HP close to 400, but given the SS has an aluminum head, could I use head from it? Can I use parts from other engines on mine???

When I started my truck up this evening the engine sounded nearly like the muffler was off of it. i was driving it down the road and was thinking why it sounded so rough and loud, and I noticed the lights beginning to flicker a bit on the dash lights and then I noticed the temerature gage was all the way over to Hot as far right as it could go.

I had driven it for 10, maybe 15 minutes by then I pulled over and I noticed , not much but just a bit of smoke coming out of the hood area, it soon stopped.

I called the Auto parts store and spoke with a gentleman there who told me that it was probably my water pump being locked up and not to drive it.

I had a new water pump put on at the Toyota dealership I think last June (not this June of 07 , but the previos June) when I had a new timing belt put on.

I think my engine is non interference, but I was wondering if I did any serious damage or not to it.

I left it there and will have it towed in tommorow to the Toyota dealer

I noticed that my brake lights for my car are always on. If i apply my brakes or not, they are still on. I looked at the light bulbs and they are fine, so then, what is the problem. I am busy this week, so i will visit the mechanic next week. What is the problem and a possible price estimate ?

Thank you

I drive the car once or twice a year. Today after 15 minutes of driving the transmission slipped. I continued to drive it and it didnt slip again. The Trans was rebuilt about 12 years ago and has approx 5000 miles on it. Could the transmission be going bad or is it just due to inactivitity? Will driving it a bit correct that by lubricating everything or is this something worse to come? It doesnt leak a drop and is full of fluid
Thanks
