ANyoe know what I can do (or have done) to eliminate these annoying sounds...I can especially hear the squeaks when I'm driving slowly. It happens every time the tires rotate and then when I hit the brakes it's real bad. Thanks!

Got the new Chevy Spark 1.0 LT. Not satisfied with the mileage. I'm getting only 12-13kmpl.
The 1st service is due this month, so will be getting new oil. Just wanna check which one would be the best engine oil for improving mileage.

I checked on synthetic Mobil 1, but its too expensive, so no point in going for such oils. The company recommends EFL (TOTAL), the other option which I was thinking about Castrol Magnatec.

I cleaned the engine of my '99 Altima,causing the spark plug recesses to fill with water, this made the engine misfire untill I dryed the plugs, and it runs great now. However I have a service engine soon light and can't seem to reset it,does anyone know how I can reset it without having to pay a mechanic? I have turned the switch on and off 10 times, rapidly which worked on other cars but not on this one.
Any help would be appriciated. Thanks, YAHOO users.

I have a 2006 BMW 325i that has a serious tire issue. The front tires are worn out in an uneven pattern after only 12,000 miles. I am searching for more people with this problem as I have found out that this particular car has this problem with tires and BMW is only willing to give half off for new tires. This is not fair due to the time and stress this problem is causing due to noise & safety. I am also not sure if once you replace the tires that the problem will not reoccur. These tires are the Bridgestone Turanza . Please let me know if anyone has similar issues with BMW tires.

Joe is driving from his home in Alpha to a city down the Interstate 200 miles away where the Alpha Lions have a football game. The route is not a straight line, however. He will drive west for 120 miles, then south for 60 miles, then east for the last 20 miles.

However, Joe's roommate Pete does not believe the Interstate is the way to go, since the distance from Alpha to the game is fewer miles by regular highway and city streets than by the Interstate. Pete knows he cannot drive quite as fast, but believes he can get to the game quicker going his direct route.

Joe thinks Pete is overly optimistic, reminding him of the stop lights, school zones and traffic along the way that will slow him down.

If Joe averages 60 mph on the Interstate, what will be Pete's average speed have to be to make good on his goal of being at least as quick to the game as Joe?

Assume that Pete's route is a straight line from Alpha to the game. Tell me how you did the calculation.

the floor of the front passenger side was real wet. THe mat on top was not. I took it in and no one can figure out where the water is coming from. I have a friend who has a GMC van that had the same problem and no one could figure out where it was coming from. I noticed it after I had the heater on the first few days it got cold, however the service people said that it was not the ac/heater lines. Anyone else had this problem and found a solution to it.

I've noticed that on every car I've driven with a manual transmission, you can upshift without the clutch as long as you aren't accelerating too hard. You can also ease from neutral into the gears at certain speeds, like 8mph for 1st, 12mph for 2nd, etc. As long as there's no grinding, is there any reason not to do this?

What about going from a gear to neutral as long as it's not while under a load (like going downhill) and you don't "pop" it out?

Also, is it harmful to make the car move forward by "pushing on 1st gear" without stepping on the clutch, but not actually letting it go into gear?

I'm thinking of buying a used 2000 Escalade. My father is trying to talk me out of it because the parts are more expensive and the repair costs and maintence are higher. Are they? My guess is not because it's a GM.

I was driving down the A40 yesterday night, when it was dark, and I came up to some traffic lights, where I saw the right filter on, but I onl saw this at the last minute. I breaked sharply as I was hoping to go strate ahead. My car stopped with the white line behind my car. I then reversed and waited for the lights to go green. I however did see a camera a few metres from the lights, but it did not flash.

Will it have worked if it didnt flash? Or was I lucky and have i got away with it?

Thanks in advance.
