I have a bmw 1 series and have had two different xenons kits put on but neither were right. On the first one, one of the lights were brighter then the other. On the 2nd one (M-TEC kit) it blew the capacitors! the car id a 118d diesel. Has anybody had after market ones fitted? I want to know which ones will fit and work correctly.
thanks

I have a 2001 Suzuki GSXR 1000. Here's the problem: Someone tried to steal it and cut the cord/wire that connects to the ignition. So I took it to a shop and they told me that I need to get an entire ignition switch because the cord is not sold alone and they can not repair it without a new ignition. Is this correct?? They are trying to charge me an arm and a leg to replace this one cord. That's all that is wrong with the bike. Is there anything else I can do to fix this...can I order just the cord or do I need the entire ignition switch replaced? Please help with this...I hope I explained the situation correctly. If you need more explanation to answer, please let me know. Thanks much!

Hello everyone,
I'm looking for a car top carrier for my 92 town car. The use is only for vacation and camping. Problem is that I don't have a roof rack and I haven't found anything good in my searches. So any advice or tips would be appreciated. Thank you.

Mike

Me, my fiancee, and his father all have different opinons about a car crash that recently occured. I think all parties involved are responsible and should help pay to cover the costs. My fiancee says he'll pay it just to get it over with, and his dad said i'm "weird" and its my problem. A few months ago I got into a car crash with my fiancees truck and it was my fault i'm not denying that. However, my fiancees father voluntered to pay his car insurance for him and he had full coverage insurance as far as we knew so although it sucked, at least we were covered. Accidents happen thats why the world has car insurance. Well he had let his car insurance drop without telling us because he couldnt afford it. So now either me or my firancee has to pay the damages. Well if he had told us he was dropping our insurance, or needed help paying it we would have taken care of it!! But he lied to us about it instead, even months after the crash. Who should have to pay?

I have replaced the headers on my car and tighten everything to the specs that it says in my repair manual. At first the car seems to be running good but then the ticking starts after the engine has been running. Now the ticking is non-stop and on top of that I have no power to my car.

I own a Crown Victoria. It had an oil leak (which Wal Mart did not think it was important to tell me each time I got the oil changed) and now the engine is blown. I do not know whether I should try to sell it, if someone is wanting to fix it up, sell it to a junk yard or donate it to goodwill.
My crown vic is a 1994, 115k, has power everything and leather interior. Of course, the drivers seat leather is cracked from not only being 13 years old but from the previous owner not really taking care of it. It has a cracked windshield, needs new tires and the bumper has a hole in it from being hit by a drunk driver.
I love the car but is it worth fixing? Should I try to sell it and just get a new car? Would I get anything if I donate it? I do not own a house or do any itemized deductions so would it benefit me? The junk yard is wanting to give me $80 bucks. . It think it is worth a little more than that. . . HELP!

I just installed a napa (upper) flexible radiator hose on my 1995 toyota pickup (NOT tacoma).

Because this hose is flexible, it gives me the impression that it is a little "flimsy", and makes me a little nervous.

Is this a good, or bad choice for a "bone stock" daily driver? Is this type (flexible) only meant for race applications?

The reason I went with a flexible radiator hose, is because with the rigid hose, when I rev my engine, the hose pulls on the radiator, causing (over a few months) the seem around the upper inlet (on the radiator)to separate.Because of this, I have gone through three (warrantied-THANK GOD!!) radiators.I also went with a radiator that recognizes this (what I call a design flaw) in the radiator, and therefore reinforced the seem around the upper inlet.

I have read/been told that the radiator seem separating is a common issue with toyota pick ups.


I have changed out both my motor mounts, and my transmission mount.

Should I go back with the "rigid" radiato

How much money can car salesman or dealers play with under msrp? How can car dealers knock off $10,000 on some vehicles and $1,000 of other vehicles? Or one day offer an amount off and change it a month later?
