Cars & Transportation - 17 September 2007

I have a 1998 mercury 30hp outboard that had damage to the skegg & prop. A new skegg was welded on & the prop welded & balanced. It goes into forward & reverse easily. When you put it into reverse the prop doesn't move right or left, makes sense. When you put it in forward the prop doesn't turn to the left, makes sense. But it turns to the right & makes a clicking sound, doesn't make sense. There was no metal when I drained the lower end. I'm afraid to try to start it now because of the clicking sound & rotation of the prop to the right. I don't if there is some damage to the forward gear in the lower end. On my johnson motor the prop locks in gear & won't rotate either direction. Is something wrong with gears or is this normal for mecury motors? Shound I start it?

Is it possible to commute from Luton to Clapham Common tube monday and friday? If I wanted to get to work around 730-800 am say? Also how much would it cost on a monthly basis I suppose an oyster all zones would be the best option for the London bit. I'm not too sure of how the tickets work a season ticket would be the most logical I guess.
Hopefully someone does this journey on answers.

Thanks very much,

Me

I just replaced wiring harness on my 2005 Chevy 2500 Cargo Van. It seems as though my brake lights should be brighter. Switched bulbs and everything and nothing changes. Can someone figure this out?

I have a 1994 toyota truck.I have had h three silla radiators replaced, and re-replaced in my truck. (taken care of by warranty)

All three times the radiator sprang a leak because part of the seam around the top(passenger) inlet separated (became unwelded).We (the mechanic and I) noticed everytime that the we reved the engine, that the engine would pull (rock),and then push back, (on the radiator hose), and in turn the top inlet of the radiator.This is what the mechanic determined caused the radiator to bust a seam.

The mechanic determined that both the motor mounts were bad, and swapped them (both) out.

Swapping the motor mounts helped, but when we did the "motor mount test" (emergency brake, let of clutch in 1st, and then let off clutch in reverse) the engine still had/has pronounced rock.

Is this a common problem?

Well, the motor mounts helped

I try to borrow money from friends,so i dont have to pay any interest to the dealership or the bank. my friends are going to give me the cashier's check, so i can pay with them. Well, from what i heard, if you pay more than $9000, the dealership will have to report us to the IRS.
So I am just wondering, if i borrow the money from my friend and they give the the cashier's checks, are they still going to report me to IRS???????
thank you very much guys.

I just paid my car off, which was under my parents names. Now, they want to transfer the title to my name. What do we need to do? Do we both need to be in attendance at the DMV?

Isn't there some sort of switch like device that you can install so that when you want your exhaust to be loud it can be but if you want you can turn it to a quieter version??

Sorry, really not an automotive fanatic but have a question that needed answering. Kind of a debate :D

Thanks everybody

I just bought a 1990 Ford Escort, and I was told the CV joints were bad. Not sure if it's one or both. First question is how do I know if it's one or both? Second question is, say I purchased the parts myself, what is the labor likely to cost? I'm trying to figure out the best way to handle this.
