I lost the key to my bike lock. It's a standard U-shaped metal lock, but I couldn't find any more information about it. When asked at a hardware store, they said they couldn't make a new key and that the lock will have to be broken. Can anyone suggest how to go about breaking this lock? I hate to see my own bike locked up on the backyard without being used.

Okay here is the deal...

I just got a 2007 Pontiac G6 about a week and ahalf ago. This sunday I was getting ready to go to the store when I jumped in to my car I notice my two side mirrors were missing. Now why would any one steal that?????

My car has leather seat, a system, in other words, everythging!
Why the side mirrors.

Anyways I filed a police report, but I'm not sure if I want my insuance comp. to pay for it because I think it might go up. Maybe not right away but later on, or next year. I have Fred Loyal Full Cover.

What do you think?

What can i do to get rid of the smell? And what would be a good prank to get him back? Im thinking about pooping on his windshield and wiping my butt with his doorhandle would this be a good one?

Hi. I live in CA and am a finalist in a drawing for a free 2 year lease on a car valued at $25,000. I'd like to win but am worried because I will still have to pay any taxes, registration, licenses, insurance etc . . .

I am estimating the registration would be 250-300, insurance an additional 100 a month, but what would my taxes be? Would I have to pay taxes if the lease is "free"?

I just changed the rear brake pads, rotors and calipers. The brakes will not bleed, they are getting little fluid thru them. The pistons on the calipers will not tighten up either. The pedal is not tigyhtening up either, i can push it in with no problems. Is there something wrong with my master cylinder???

I'd like to add additional engine cooling capacity for my Toyota 6 cylinder engine and I'm deciding between an engine oil cooler or an additional coolant radiator located in a space under the camper part of the motor home.
It hasn't overheated, but there have been a few times when the temperature is over 100 degrees that I've had to turn off the AC to let the engine cool.
It's a 6 cylinder engine with an automatic transmission.

Around income tax time I bought a used 97 Cherokee it ran fine other than over heating due to the fan not working. Then all of the sudden the alarm starts freakin out on me and wont cancel when I use the proper key turns in the door. ( I don't have the remote ) So I have to unplug the battery and let the ECU reset and start over. The battery ended up dieing so I took it back and found out it had a bad cell. I put the new battery in and the alarm never came on but the jeep would still not start it only turns over. So I tested for a spark and didn't get one (altho I'm no mechanic). So I replaced the cap, rotorbug, and sparkplugs, still nothing, so I replaced the ignition coil, nothing. Now I'm thinking it may have something to do with the ECU maybe it's dead? But before I drop $200 into a new one I thought I'd ask for some other suggestions. Oh and I've already ground out the purple and orange wire that's supposedly to the alarm. I'd take out the alarm but I don't know where it is either

I have a 2005 Ford Taurus SEL latley i have been having problems starting it. Here are the things i have observed. If you have any ideas it would be greatly apprciated. the starter seems to sound like it is working fine it makes the normal trying to turn over sound but not all the time sometimes it makes just a clicking noise. the onboard computer screen will flash fuel comp just before it displays the milage. it will start adventually and it seems to start better with a fuller tank of gas. Today the clock radio reset it self back to 12:00. once the car is started there are no other obvious problems the engine dose not seem to be miss firing or anthing else and none of the warnig light on the disply unit are lite up oil is always changed on time.

then you decide you dont want it 3 days later but the MI seller already deposited the check. so you put a stop payment on the check. there are 3 carbon copies of the reciept of sale and we both have them and you have the title too already signed by both parties. what happens if the seller still wants his money for the vehicle and there is a stop on the check, MI state law is " sold as is" ? what happens?

It gets better when I go faster, when I hit the brakes it pulls to the right. Could it be the tie rod, or maybe the tires need balancing?

I have a 99 Civic DX Hatchback. I just received my header and exhaust system which bolts right on with no welding needed. I also bought a set of 2 jack stands, roll bed, and jack. I also have 2 OEM Honda Jacks which are in perfect condition. I just want to know if I can lift the complete car with only 2 jack stands and 2 jacks.

I've seen seen sales pitches for miracle formulas that claim to fix leaks, large and small. But in all fairness, if used and applied correctly can any of them fix blown head gaskets? or actually stop leaks?
