Is it possible (and viable) to have the airconditioning system taken out of my dead Ford Laser and put in my Toyota Lightace van? If so, is this a very expensive operation? The van does not have aircon installed at all, so repairing it is not an option. The Laser's aircon is fantastic, but the rest of the car useless.

For my course i have to do this. I cannot buy parts for the model boat which are spefically designed for model boats for exampel moters. What the best way to get the boat across the pond?
I thought maybe using sails or even possibly rocket fuel or something.
Any tips would be gratefull.

What is that reddish-orange stuff you sometimes see that looks like it's been spilt on the freeway? My mother thinks it's blood, but I think it must be paint or something used to clean up accidents. I've asked the local California Highway Patrol and every similar org I can think of.

The check engine light came on about a week ago and the car revs up to 6k rpms at only 70 mph. I'm thinking its stuck in 1st gear but when i try to change it to anything but drive it does not change. It sounds really bad like its struggling when i drive it...

I have no idea how to fix ANYHING under the hood but could do anything simple if told how..

Has anyone else had this issue? I really dont want to buy a new tranny. The car only has 85k miles on it. Any help? the more detailed the better... :)

Ok...this is weird. I have a 98 Nissan Maxima and it was raining last Friday. I put the defrost on and instead of clearing up the windshield, it started to make it worse and fog up the whole car.
When the defrost or now even the heater go on. The vents will actually start blowing steam out because of the cold, so now the car is like a sauna. It also smells like coolant. Anyone got any ideas??? I guess I will need to take it to the car shop, but I'm curious to find out what happened.

I have a 1996 Toyota 4Runner that has been sitting, not driven for almost 4 years. Six months ago we moved and when we went to start it, it was dead. We jump started it, let it run for about 20 minutes and then parked it. A few days later we moved and before we left, we started it, it started fine. We got to our new place and parked it. Didn't re-start it for another 3 months, tried again, battery dead. Bought brand new battery, put it in, worked fine. Parked it for another 3 months without starting it. Now, we are going to start driving it because we live in the mountains where it snows and want to get it ready for the winter. Went to start it today with the new battery, didn't start so we jump started it. Let it run for 20 minutes, moved it and turned it off. I tried to re-start it as soon as I turned it off and all I heard were clicks. No lights, no interior lights and no radio. Does this sound like battery or alternator?
