My husband is trying to fix his brakes and apparently the rotors are rusted to something preventing him from replaceing the pads...I have heard allot of hammering and I know they are using somekind of spray lube...and scraping rust...any of you Yahoos have a suggestion maybe something that worked for you? It's a Ford expedition if that helps

I purchased a 1991 Civic that needs both rear power window motors replaced. I found the same car at a salvage yard and tried to pull the motors but cannot figure it out. I removed all of the screws holding the motor to the door but there is one more bolt connecting the motor to the window. The problem is I cannot reach it because the window in in the "closed" position. How can I lower the window so that I can access the bolt? OR, how do I remove the bolt with the window closed?

2002 car doesn't use any oil, until we get to about 1 plus years without changing it (only do <2000 miles.year). Then it will go down 1/6 of quart per 1000 miles driven.. No leaks.

I think it's a conspiracy with manufactures and dealers.

I will be out of the country for two years doing a peace corps type volunteer program, I am currently on my father's car insurance and don't own my own car. I pay about $400 a year to have the right to drive one of his cars. Is it worth cancelling my insurance for two years or will the uninsured penalty be worse. I am currently 22 and a recent college grad. Thanks for any help.

They said they alter the aerodynamics of my 'squarish' car. If it saves on petrol, that will be a help. Anyone tried them?

My 1985 Toyota Mr2 will not shift into gear when it's on.

I had originally thought the problem was air in the clutch system, but when numerous attempts to bleed it did not work we replaced the Master Cylinder, Still nothing, next we put in a new clutch kit, and still..

I can't get my car into gear, and when i do it takes a lot of grinding/rev matching to do so.

There's a possibility of it still being air in the system, but at the same time i was wondering if anyone would have insight on if it could even be the Transmission it self?

It shifts smoothly when the car is off & ran perfectly for the first few days i had it..

But this has become one hell of a frustrating situation, any help/suggestions would be appreciated.
All of a sudden it wasn't working and it's been up on jack stands since.

Is it 10 days,14 days or 30 days???

How do I know if mine is plugged up?
My truck is a 1995 Dodge Ram with V-6 and 239,000 miles
I believe it has been running rich cause the pait near exhaust pipe has a tan color and smells a little rich in exhaust fumes.
If it is severly clogged up can I run a pipe off Y pipe straight back to a cheap muffler?

Have heard of a high-powered two stroke bike (not sure if its Yamaha), which had poor drum brakes, and didn't compressioned at all during down-shifting (being two stroke).

What do you think of car questions being asked on the mororcycles forum?
For many of us car drivers are the bain of our lives. They don't see us till they've hit us, they push is off the road, they swear and shout at us and they now ask questions on this forum. Let all real bikers vote them off our pages! What do you think???
