I have been giving some thought to this for a while. I have been driving 38 & 44 tonne trucks for 20+ years, and I would buy a top spec truck from each of the manufacturers - Scania (Topline,) Volvo (Globetrotter), DAF (105 XF), Iveco (Stralis) & MAN (Roadhaus),.( £500k well spent) Then I would rent a plot on a disused Airfield to park them on. Every day I would go there armed with an AK47 & blast them to pieces, or take a selection of baseball bats & beat the cr@p out of them for the misery they have caused me over the years.( Bad back, & endless rows with the"boss" - my missus! for being late, or not turning up for family meals) A bit drastic , but VERY rewarding lol. When I got fed up of that I would buy a golf club - any one would do, and turn it into an adventure playground for my family & selected mates to race the above trucks into the ground. then I would probably waste the rest. The only thing hurt would be the feelings of those posers who hit balls with bent sticks !!!!!

I have a 1984 GMC 70 Dump Truck with a 427 cubic in. gasoline eng. I am having problems keeping air pressure above 30. it takes at least 60 to release the brakes. I've scanned for leaks and have found nothing. All the hoses look good. I am not real familiar with the compressor though. What can i do to ensure that my compressor isn't bad ? I also would like to know can I override the brakes on one of the axles, since only the passenger side front set of wheels is locked?

I upgraded my stock halogen lamps to the Sylvania Ultra SilverStar lamps. They're brighter than the stock lamps but I need to adjust the vertical adjustment slightly.

Ive got a 1998 camaro as stated, runs great, except when i go to put the passenger's window up. When the window gets about half way up, it begins to squeak and gets really slow. Sometimes it won't even make it all the way up and i have to push it up. My question is..do i need a new window motor or a regulator? I've heard both from some of my colleagues, but I'm not sure they really know. Please help.

Yesterday I had my Alternator 'replaced' because it was allegedly faulty. I had flickering lights amongst other strange symptoms, I suspected a short, or maybe alternator, but it was outputting a good voltage; however I check with garage and they said it was alternator, which they subsequently replaced.

They did the work, and my problem disappeared, BUT and it's a big but; I';ve had a look at the alternator tonight and it doesn't look any different (pot marked and dust coated), certainly not new, and there are no 'clean bits' around it on the wires which is what you'd expect at least to some degree.

There was a loose connection behind the stereo that was causing speakers on one side to go off (until I pushed the radio a bit); I told them this, and now I no longer have the Speaker/radio problem either. I suspect all they've done is remove the radio and reseat the connections at the back which is what has sorted my flickery lights problem.

Not sure, but very suspicious - any ideas?

After a friend borrowed my 1997 Jimmy, drained the battery, hooked it to a charger, and then claimed it wouldn't start, I had it towed home. I've replaced the battery, but it won't fire. Any idea what they fried for me?
