to display a tax disc in your car windscreen, BEFORE the previous one has expired? i'd obviously take the old one out first, and not display the 2 at once.

I have since realized that this was a scam & don't really need it since it's a Toyota. The warranty is 7 yrs/100,000 & cost $1560.00. I read through the service contract & it says I have 60 days to cancel but if I cancel in the first 30 days I don't have to pay the $50 cancellation fee.

I really want to cancel but I'm scared of the Business Manager! I spoke to him yesterday abt something regarding my loan & told him that I had concerns over the warranty. He said no it's a great warranty company. I could sense his anger.

I almost want to forget it but then I think I shouldn't do that b/c this isn't right for me. I always have a problem sticking up for myself.

How should I handle this? What can I do to build a backbone? I'm an older single woman - 47 - & I always shy away from controversy. I need help. Please someone help!

Simply put I am looking for a list of any special tools I might need (other than metric sockets and wrenches) to do a complete brake job on a '98 328i (rotors, pads, sensors, etc.). Also let me know where I should loosen the parking brake, I understand that the rears rotors function as a drum for the parking brake.

And roughly how much would it cost to have those locks (and the glove box lock) replaced? Not for parts, just labor; I will purchase the lock set on my own.

I bought a 1990 honda CRX from a private party few days ago. They said everything was in excellent working condition. Everything was find when i test drove it but when i brought it home next morning it wouldn't start. Owner told me that motor was replaced and only has about 45-50k miles and that he used it for commuting. I called them and they told me i bought it as is and they wont take it back. They said the car has never done anything like that before and that it was I who broke it. I haven't done anything to the car beside clean it.

I have no clue what to do if anybody could help me i would really appreciate it.

I have an 01 accord 4 dr. the transmission went out once at 58k miles and it was replaced for free because it was under factory warranty. Now its at 109k miles and the transmission is starting to act up again. But it is very hard to tell. only certain times in the morning it revs up.

I have a feeling it is going to get worse. Should I invest in a new car right now or should I put a new transmission in this one. I dont believe in putting money into the car once its past 100k but at the same time If I were to buy a new car right now I will be streching myself pretty thin financially.

And yes I am aware of the factory recall on all 01 accords and this is not covered under that recall.

Do you think it would be safe to driver or will the rest of the gears go bad as well?

The person at fault cannot even pay for the damage done to my car. I had a rental car, but it was taken back because they did not have the money to pay for it. So what is going to happen here. It will cost me a fortune to fix the car. I imagine that my rates are gonna end up through the roof. This isn't fair!. What should I do ?


Will Update as needed.

Really! Everyone in this country buys Toyotas anyway. More Toyotas and Hondas are built in the USA than Chevrolets..

Another year gone by, and getting grey in the beard.
Where should I ride to on this next anniversary?
Took the day off, was going to go where Mom and Dad used to take me for my birthday. I'm thinking maybe somewhere else, something new. Starting point anywhere in NH, must be back in 36 hours. Any suggestions?

I am aware that asking some of you where to go is like handing a loaded gun to an infant, I'm prepared.

Just started happening.

When I park and turn off my car the tail/brake lights stay on. I have to remove the fuse to turn them off.

What is it?

P.S. No dashboard lights indicating a problem.
