I have installed a new oil pump, replaced the main and rod bearings, removed the hose to the external oil filter and plugged the hole in the side of the block where this hose connected to the oil passage and replaced the oil with brand new oil (SAE 30 WD), but none of these actions made any difference. Any suggestions what to try next?

My door hinge is loose, and the spring came out, so now my door swings all the way out when I open it and won't stay in one place. Does anyone know how much this would cost, and where I can get a new hinge? Also, my window (power) gets stuck down sometimes...

Keeps coming on for the antifreeze/water level. I was told it was a sensor problem, but there is a leak under the car. It is getting worse because I have to fill it every week now. I am afraid the car will overheat. Is this going to be expensive to fix? My thought is hell yes. Oh yeah, the car DOES suck. No wonder they stopped making them.

My father recently inherited a sailboat from his grandfather. The sails were stored in a garage inside a cardboard barrel and now have dark stains (rust?) on them.

We're trying to figure out the best way to remove the stains without damaging the sails. Any ideas?

I just want to know if vehicle registration in anyway is related to driver's license. I have a car registered in IL but my driving license is from Iowa. I live in the IL/IA border. But Illinois state requirement is to change the license if I reside over 90 days (it has far exceeded). I am going to sell my car and live back in Iowa. Since I didn't convert my license to IL license, will I have a problem while selling my car?

How much horsepower can you get from a Dodge 3.9L V-6. Suggestions welcome beyond just changing the chip and without boring it out?

I want a cheapish, secondhand 4x4 which is capable of rough, hilly terrain. Land Rover Freelanders, for instance, look a bit soft - more school run than offroad.

I'm not sure where to save money: is a high mileage unacceptable for 4x4s? I was thinking around 90,000.

I once saw a kick-*** Land Rover with a 3-seater cabin and an open truck style back. Can you tell me the model? Any other comments about what to look out appreciated.

It does fine when I first start it, after a while, especially as the day goes on and it gets hotter, it has trouble accelerating... It sounds like it's grinding.. once it passes 65 it's fine... The air conditioner also died... My mechanic can't find what's wrong; he says the transmission and the gas systems are fine; he hooked it up to that machine but the machine says the car is fine. At times when I'm stepping on the gas trying to get it to go, the check engine like turns on and stays steady, but next time I drive the car, it's off. It is due for an oil change and the change oil lights up, but my mechanic saw that and he didn't mention that was it.. Please help.. anyone?!?!

I'm thinking of trading it in even though I know i'll have negative equity w/ the trade in. =(

We had a local mechanic put in a new transmission about 5k miles ago. A couple weeks later, we noticed it leaking, so we took it back and he fixed it since the tranny work was under warranty. We noticed it leaking again though and he has since fixed it again! Now, a week later, my wife goes to drive the van and when she starts it up all of the dash lights go on and won't turn off. She turns off the car and restarts it, but now when she shifts to drive and presses on the gas it goes in reverse--slowly. she shut it off again, waited a few minutes, then tried again. This time it worked.

Is this the tranny again? Either Honda has terrible trannys, my mechanic made a mistake, or I am dealing with a shady mechanic. Our friends have used him before without problems, but...

Help! Thanks!

I have a 2007 Sweetwater 1980RE and am attempting to get it into Commercial operations in Australia. The Local authorities here need to know the tech specs on the frame and the tubes. I have contacted Godfrey Marine by email on three occasions, but they have not responded.

The local dealer can't answer the question and as I am not trying to purchase aren't interested in trying to chase this up.

I really am desperate for an answer to what the hull construction is ?mm plate and of ??grade material. Niether of these details are available to me for some reason, so I am hoping someone out there will know this answer and where I can locate a source of reference.

Thanks

office to another so not too many of my questions can be answered which leaves me in a state of panic I am hoping someone could help alleviate the stress. I have GAP insurance on top of my car insurance. My question is what does the GAP cover. My insurance has already stated that they will be getting the value of my car and paying my loan off. Only thing is they didt state whether they pay the loan off only ro the amount that my car is worth or if they pay the whole things off. The value of my car is more than the pay-off on my insurance that I know for sure. So my question is wut happens now as far as getting another car....do I just start fresh as far getting a new car...go to dealership....get new loan....blah blah blah....or does my insurance or GAP cover any of this?? Im stressing bc I recently started at a new job and only have 3 months in here so if I have to get a whole new loan I dont know who will approve me, my credit is far from great besides the employment history....HELP!

When starting there is a grinding sound like gears slipping. Starter is fine. Motor will turn over if pushed in gear. There are two allen bolts that were finger tight on the starter clutch. Could it be that those bolts worked loose and thats my problem, or should i investigate further, also is it going to be a pain to go a little further and look at that starter clutch. Please give as much info as you can, thanks

I am in a power chair. I ride over to the store a lot. A Friend started to walk with me. He said that I should drive my power chair on the left side of the road with the traffic facing me(scary to me). I thought you were to walk or ride on the right side of the road with the traffic behind you. There is no side walk because there is a parking lot until we get to this very, very short drive into the Strip Mall parking lot. People who are driving their car's are turning into this drive I would be smack right there in front of them (surprise) as soon as they turn in!At least the people driving would be seeing me all along. I told him that I would ask. If I am wrong I always admit I am wrong. Please don't tell me to stay home This is my only transportation, and it keeps me in touch with the outside world.

I am dead!!! My mom and Dads' Town & Country is old, a 1996, but my dad loves it. He keeps it looking new. He will never get rid of it. I am 20y/o and screwed up. I slammed the driver side door and when I tried to roll it up, the back came up. Not the rest. I took the door apart, and there are cables all undone, and I don't know what the hell to do. I don't have a lot of money or time. They will be back in three days. I called the dealer, they said $300.00. I'm toast. Can anyone save me from this death sentence?

I have a Honda CM200T that after running for a bit from time to time will dump oil from the front left portion of the engine block. Looking at where the oil comes out it looks like a hole that belongs there. I'm guessing it is some sort of pressure relief, but would love to find someone who knows better than I. Thank you, Eric

I was recently in an accident in New Jersey and I have Pedestrian Personal Injury Protection that states its coverage as $250,000 with a $250 deductible and 20% copay. My insurance claim representative told me that I have no coverage for my injuries and that I should use my outside health care provider. The problem is that I do not have an outside health care provider and after little searching I feel as though Pedestrian Personal Injury Protection should cover my injury (ambulance ride, X-rays, broken foot, loss of wages) but is it the "Pedestrian" in the coverage that means that I dont have a foot to stand on (ha ha ha get it)? Either way through searching I have found that it is mandatory for insurance companies in New Jersey to include PIP in their coverages. So should I start to put pressure on my claims representative or wait until after she has determined who is at fault? Thanks

I was a passenger in an accident that involved my driver who ran into a guard rail. No other cars were involved, but I'm hurt real bad. My driver has full coverage but she didnt't buy the medical coverage. Does this mean that I'm not medically covered? (it just doesn't make sense to me that her insurance would not cover any passengers).

I made the huge mistake of cosigning on a car loan for my cousin who has really bad credit. I am now looking into buying a house and would like to get my name off that loan. I know the only way would be for him to get another loan (refinancing) on his name, but I was told we would have to wait at least 8 months to guarantee approval. I want to do it now, but I am afraid he won't qualify yet. It's only been three moths, and I am making the payments so I know they always arrive on time. How much longer should I wait?
