Cars & Transportation - 15 November 2007

They talk on their mobile phones whilst buying tickets, they are plugged into their MP3 players and ask you to repeat what you've said, they say 'platform', or 'time' without saying 'please'. At the advanced purchase windows you can spend 20' finding them the cheapest ticket and when you give them the price, they just walk away.
What has hapened to manners?

If a prostock weighs 2,350 pounds and has 1350 hp and runs 6.6 in the 1/4 mile why do they say that a top fuel has 8000hp and weighs 2,225 and they also say that for every 100 hp the car goes 1 second faster so the top fuel goes like 2 seconds faster than the prostock why do they say that the top fuel has like 6,500 hp more than a prostock it doesnt make sence.

my clutch is bad because i can let the pedal out while its in gear and it will not jerk the car foward and it will not stall.
my question is do i need to buy the whole clutch or just a pressure plate or something else? and also how do i know for SURE that its not just the clutch but could it be slippage?

Is it to turn off the engine? Why would you want to do that?

Got into an accident. Not my fault. The other guys insurance has already claimed my car as totaled but because it's an older car they're giving me a check for the value of the car plus letting me keep it with a clear title, not salvaged. We haven't reached an agreement as to the value of the car yet. My question is, can I sell my car before we've settled the amount they'll be giving me for the car? The insurance agent told me I could do whatever I wanted with the car since they're letting me keep it with the same clear title. She said I can keep it or sell it, it doesnt matter. But she wasn't clear about if we have to reach an agreement as to the value of the car before I can sell it.

I used to always travel by train. but there have been so many changes, I do not want to look like a tourist. Can you give me a heads up? I will arrive by mid noon, and I will depart in the afternoon.

I have a Hyundai excel with 160'000kms always serviced and well looked after. I had the valve seals replaced because it was blowing a bit of blue smoke ONLY at start up, going down hill occasionally, mostly after very long idiling (but only sometimes)...

Its still doing it 2 months later. Another mechanic said it may be rings but i thought if so why does it happen at intervals that match a diagnosis of seals? Is it possible that my mechanic did it wrong? Or is there another part to valve seals it could be? Valves themselves?

The guy that said it may be my rings said its no big drama, because it runs so well. Replacement of those plus a full top end makeover is about $700AUD(not to bad in price compared to most), but there is no rush as it doesnt do further damage- just do it when it gets really bad.

But i just dont think its that?

I was hit by a driver on the freeway in California. I sustained $8,656.00 in medical bills as a result of my injuries. Today the adjuster offered me a settlement for the amount of $18,156.00. HOWEVER, he broke the settlement down reflecting an error in my total medical bills showing a total of $14,656. The error is clear.

My question is two fold. Could the adjuster have done this on pupose? I am okay with the final sum amount, but NOT how they broke it down. $3500 for pain and suffering is rediculously low, but again the end number, be it incorrect would be fine.

Also, should I accept this final offer amount, can they come back against me and say oooops, we made a mistake, you owe us? The settlement has clearly been broken down, soI am aware of the error. Can and will this matter.

Someone told me this is might be a slick move adjusters use. He predicted that before he sends me the release of claim, he will "discover" the error and bind me to my agreement based on $3500 PS?

surely a platform is a platform? and the rail gauge must be the same, so what's the big deal about handing over the former eurostar platforms for commuter trains to use? why would it apparently cost several million pounds?

I have had a new ac pump installed because I though the old one was bad. But the noise didn't go away. I have replaced the power steering pump and idler tension pulley. Sometimes I hear the noise when I back the car up. If I take off the drive belt the noise goes away. This is the third pump not counting the old one. Could the condenser be bad also. I have had this noise for over a year but nothing bad has happened. The car runs great except for the noise. The noise does seem to go away if I rev the enging up some.

I've noticed that many hardware stores sell batteries that can trickle charge your car's battery through the cigarette lighter overnight. Many boxes seem to advertise that it will keep your battery at the "ideal starting temperature". Are they referring to keeping your car battery warm overnight? Or something else?

I'm a rookie, any input would be great, thanks.

I have a 1990 lincoln towncar. Got off work and it started fine. tried to start it again and it died out like the battery was drained but, it will not take a hot shot all it does is make click when I turn the key. The lights are bright radio plays fine and they don't dim when I turn the key. One day last week when I started it the car was slow to start like the battery was weak but it started right up. Does it sound like the starter or the battery? If it was the battery wouldn't it take a jump? Could it be a relay?Thanks

Harley is obviously the best company on the planet, making the best bikes the world has ever seen. How is it that the stock has dropped 36% from its 52 week high? I mean seriously, that's a significant hit. Did something happen that I don't know about? Are the quality of the new bikes so bad that people are avoiding them? I mean, everyone on the planet wants a Harley, why are they doing so bad? Will they ever recover?
