I have an R reg 3 cylinder corsa and the engine management light keeps coming on due to an electronic selanoid sticking. I have tried to clean it however it is still sticking. Do i need to leave this in a long soak in petrol or something? Also engine started to make rattling sound, could this be due to oil issues?

I'm looking for chrome lugnuts for a '87 CK10 pickup, 7/16 X 20, I think. Where's the best place to get them? Why are they so hard to find? All the local part stores don't carry them!

Why is it that you can be crawling along at 10 MPH for hours and then suddenly as if by magic it clears?

We have a 3406 Cat running a 450KVA generator and the cooling fan broke and destroyed the radiator. We're in a bit of a desperate situation and we know of a 3402 engine out in the bush that we're contemplating going after. What I'd like to know before we go all the way out there (7 hours drive) is will the radiator and fan off the 3402 fit, or can it be modified to fit? Belts are readily available.. Could someone please help?

I found a car that I am very interested in buying, but it has about 3k to go until it's paid off. How would this "taking over payments" work exactly?

When I was debating to use the car or Train to Nottigham from Milton Keynes it was either - Bus to train station £3 return, Train £32.50 return, Bus to my house £3.40 return, (£38.90 for public Transport). Or to use the car for £15 fuel total. On top of this the train would take about 2 hours extra.
So as an incentive of using public transport and saving the environment we get offered a much more expensive, longer service costing us a lot of time and money. So with this in mind, why isn't there a change made. Which is a 'greener' option, keeping the expensive trains with few people willing to pay for this service over a car, or lowering prices and having filled up, cheaper trains ? I know what i would do if i had a political say..

Hello,

I will be 16.5 when I get my license in early december.

Let's start off with monetary details:
- I am paying in FULL for the the vehicle/taxes/registration
- I am paying for insurance
- I am paying for gas
- I paid for driving school

I am not complaining about having the responsibility to pay for such things, so please don't discuss those issues. I have a high-paying job, so I don't worry about the money.

I want to buy a Mustang (2001-2004) for my first vehicle, and I would like ideas on how I can give my dad a MATURE debate as to why I should be allowed to purchase one.

He does not want me to get one because he had a mustang for his first car in the 80's (wrecked it), and also recked another sports vehicle soon after, so he is afraid I will do the same.

Please let me know what you think I should do to prove to my father that a Mustang is OK for me, and that I am responsible enough to own one... especially since I am paying for everything.

Thanks!

i just wax my car with a cheap product.. and think it would be better to buy a more expensive product because maybe it could make it much easier for me to remove the wax? so just wondering could i just use new product i will buy and wax it over the cheap wax that i just wax with... and if it would be ok.. or would that be a bad idea for my paint?.... ?

A boat is pulled into a dock by a rope attached to the bow of the boat and passing through a pulley on the dock that is 1 m higher then the bow of the boat. If the rope is pulled in at a rate of 1 m/s, how fast is the boat approaching the dock when it is 8 m from the dock?
