I've just bought a renault laguna, and I want to top up the coolant, but I'm not sure what it is. I used to use just plain water on my old citroen AX, is that ok?

any idea where I can get plans/blueprints to make another. Grandpa has died and no one knows what he did with those old plans. It was made out of 1/4 inch plywood and could hold a 25 hp motor and only 1 person.

They make a whinning noise, especially when coming to a stop. I think it's only the automatics. I can be walking down the street and hear when one of these cars is near me. I've heard it on:

Caravan
Sebring Convt
sebring
Cirrus
Eclipse
Mirage

It makes the cars sound very cheap!

Great car when it runs. Driving down the road it just dies, now it only starts and dies. Charging system good, fuel system, lines, good, no check engine light, Injectors do not appear to be bad, new pcv valve, ran Slick 50 through to make sure no residue, mechanic is baffled, taken manifold off, cleaned and cleared all lines, what is left or has been missed? Car has low mileage and well taken care of. Started out by just dying while driving, seemed like after car would get warm and then after it sat for 30 minutes or so it would start right back up and go again, sometimes dying, but not all the time. Now can't keep it running for long, fuel is flowing. Need help with how to figure this out without spending a zillion dollars, already have spent almost $1500.00 in fuel system repairs. Mechanic is at a dead still. Please help.

I have a 1987 honda cr250, and my coolent is leaking down into the casing, and mixing with the oil. Do you know what could be causing this? Or where it is coming from. Also if you know anywhere that has a free diagaram of the cooling system.

THANKS!!!

First off, I do not want to buy a standalone amplifier... I just want to use a head unit and speakers... so I need to know if the speakers will still sound good if the company recommends a higher RMS wattage than the head unit puts out... the head units I am looking at are all around 20-22 RMS watts...


I'm looking at getting a Pioneer DEH-1900MP head unit and one of the following setups for speakers:

Eclipse SE8235 in the dash
Eclipse SP5000 in the front doors
Eclipse SP6900 in the rear deck

OR...

Infinity Kappa 32.7cf in the dash
Infinity Kappa 52.7i in the front doors
Infinity Kappa 692.7i in the rear deck

OR...

Kicker KS35 in the dash
Kicker KS525 in the front doors
Kicker KS69 in the rear deck



also.......... how are Pioneer speakers?

thanks for taking the time to read this guys and girls

I have a 1990 Honda Accord. The transmission has taken to getting stuck in 2nd when the engine is warm. When it's cold everything works fine. My husband checked the TCM code. The red light is flashing 6 short, 1 long, 5 short and repeat. However we can't find out what this code means. Does anybody know what the code means or where we can find a list of the codes for the Honda Accord? We already tried the official Honda site with no luck. Thanks

My check engine light is on my Lexus ES300. Its not the oxygen sensor I replaced them both. Is there are computer I can buy so I can find out what the problem is for a car that old? Or could you tell me what it is? The computers in the store are for 1996 cars and up. They don't have anything for 1995 and down.

Now, I had this done on one of my vehicles and it cost me about 700 bucks. I really can't believe that everyone driving around changes their timing belts at 60k. Of course, I realize that if it breaks, trouble will follow. Still, it seems to me that this recommendation is playing on people's fears.

My dad owns a wrecker service and has given me a 2000 Dodge Ram 1500 Pick up 5.2 L V8. The truck runs great, but the brake pedal mashes all the way to the floor. The truck has been sitting up for about 3 months now. There is brake fluid (full) but the gasket under the cap was torn. I have been told there may be air in the line and should bleed the lines. Is this a waste of time considering that the reservoir was full or should I try this before replacing the master cylinder or booster? What should I look for to make sure it's not the master cylinder versus the booster? Thanks for all who help!!

I read a lot of question on how or can we make the odometer show less mileage or reverse mileage. What I like to know is, Is there a way to make your cars odometer show more KM or Mileage than you normally use.

Asked in motorcycles because that's where I found it.
I've seen "It's a UK question" or a "US question", and I think I saw an "Aussie question" once. How do you guys tell? I can't see anything. FWIW, I think my network is running through a German server. When I log on, the language is English. It could be just how I set it, I don't remember. It was over a year ago. Old age, I guess.

Can anyone tell me the proper way to store a motorcycle as far as the fuel stableizer .Also fluids I need to change the oil should I do it now or wait till spring. I should also say that where I am you can never tell when the snow is going to fall. that means maybe a few more days of riding.
Thanks a bunch.

I refilled the fluid and a week later it seems to have disappeared -- so, something is leaking. I think the worst news would be if it's the compresser. What are the other possibilities of where it's leaking fluid? How much is this likely to cost to repair? I live in the Atlanta area.
