Cars & Transportation - 13 October 2007

i am looking for a my first car but do have problems with my height. being over 6ft i have a problem with small cars as the seats don't go far enough back and steering wheels don't adjust. for example, i've been learning in a corsa which is just too small for comfort and therfore safety. i was thinking about a civic or golf but they arn't cheap

The light came on, I took it to AutoZone, and they read the code and said it was Evaporative Emissions. The gas cap had small cracks in the gasket where it seats, so I bought a new one and replaced it. They guy at AutoZone and the owners manual said the light should go off in a few days after about 10 starts. It didn't, so I went to a repair shop. The shop said the light wouldn't go out on its own, and suggested I save myself their diagnostic charge and go back to AutoZone and have it reset. If it stays off good, if not the problem wasn't the gas cap and I should bring it back to the repair shop. So who is right?

What happens if I accidentally put 15w 50 instead of the recommended 10w 40 into my vauxhall corsa?

I was using 15w 40 (as this was all I could get and so I was already NOT using the recommended oil) for the past year but accidentally put in the wrong oil today.


What will happen to my car which had 15w 40 in but now has 15w 50?

re: programs like police camera action etc-wouldn`t it be safer-less loss of life-less damage -if they radiod to a helicopter to track vehicle-till it ran out of fuel.

Every time I do need to stop, Do I have to use the Engine Cut-Off as a normal procedure to stop my bike? or the correct way to do it is just stop and the turn the Ignition Key to the OFF position instead (without using the Engine Cut-Off button).

I would like to know what is the best way to turn off my bike every time I finish a ride.

Thanks..

It is bad enough having insurance when your a teen male, but when you have a sports car with a V8 in it...well it gets a whole lot worse. I just bought my dream car (a pontiac trans am) and now I would like insurance so I can drive it....the car cleared out my savings(im a senior in high school so I didnt have a whole lot to begin with). I heard viking insurance is good , but IDK. I want to have decent coverage, but also not have my whole paycheck go to them either. anybody have any tips or know of any good insurance companies.
ps and no i dont want to sell my car and buy some Civic lol

I just got new car registration plates (legal with the euro symbol and GB).

However I can't get the old plates off..... theres 2 domed caps on the side of each plate (presumably with screws underneath) which seem very reluctant to come off with a flatbladed screwdriver.

Also my new plates don't have holes in them for fitting.... do I have to drill in the acrylic plate myself?

Thanks.

Does anybody have any idea what could be wrong? The low coolant light comes on and stays on pretty much all the time. But, there is plenty of coolant. In addition the tempature gauge takes a few minutes to register. I am thinking a bad sensor or maybe dirty.... I don't know.... Any Ideas would be helpful.
