Cars & Transportation - 17 November 2007

I own a 2000 Xterra and absolutely adore it! Problem is in the very cold winter month of January, I often have a problem when initially taking off with my truck. About 1 minute into driving, there is alouis BUZZING sound followed LOUD cluncking sound and then a thump comming from the front of my truck. I was told it could be my HUBS ??? Does this happen to anyone else. Not even my garage can find the problem. Of course it has to happen for them to know and of course the sound never happens when I am at the garage.

Any suggestions...Please help :D

Thanks

I want to wire up a Push Button start rather than inserting a Key to start my car (I'm a geek - so dont ask why). I have a remote for my car to lock my doors and unlock them. I'm not really worried about someone breaking into my car. I have a 1997 Nissan Sentra GXE and wanted to purchase THREE switches, two regular flip switches and one Monetary switches to start my car but I'm not too geeky to figure it out on my own where to wire everything up at however If told, I can figure it out. I'll have the three switches, the first two switches will be two power on my accessories while the third switch will be used to Turn my Car on. Turning off the two switches will turn the car off.

Every time I go outside I smell gas. I finally figured out the problem. We have a 1995 Ford truck with a flat bed. It has dual gas tanks. The back tank seems to be dripping gas and where it's dripping there is a white crystalized substance. Looks like little ice crystals. Actually, this is in two places. At the base of the tank and on the pipe leading out of the tank. What is this? Can I drive with this? Please help! (I can't just run over to my local garage, cuz it's in town which is 20 minutes away)
Thanks for any advice, suggestions, etc.

Recently, my car has not been immediately moving in drive even when it has been successfully shifted. The car is an automatic. It will reverse even while it won't go forward. Interestingly, the problem only lasts for a few seconds then the car works fine. There seem to be no other problems while driving. The problem also has only been happening in the morning. It might also be important that it recently has gotten quite a bit colder where I live.

I just bought my first car 2 months ago (got insurance a few days ago). The car is an R reg FIAT Punto. Ive got some receipts from the previous owner but I cant find one to say that the timing belt had been replaced.

The belt looks new and the cam cover has been cracked by someone over-tightening it. It sounds to me like its been done but I know what damage it can do if it breaks!

Is there a way to see if its ok?

How do i know if it needs to be changed?
(When it snaps on the M6??, ha ha, very funny!)

Anyone know?

I have a 1975 Ford F100 302ci that has been sitting up for 3 years. I changed the battery and gas (expecting an easy start); however, the plugs wern't even sparking (yes the truck turns over great) so I changes the Coil, Condenser, and Points. Still no spark does anyone know of anything else. How can I tell if I am even getting any power to the coil and does it matter which wire goes on what side of the Coil. All answers appreciated the answer that leads to a spark wins points!!!!

My car is a 1992 Dodge Spirit, manual. If you step really hard on the gas while it is in drive it will move slightly. In reverse it won't move at all. The day before it would work but it would rev real high and then jerk ahead once it slipped into gear, now that doesn't even happen.

I got a quote from a comparison website and didn’t get a good quote so I left it but then one of the companies rung me up asking the usual insurance quote questions. And they gave me a really good quote I was happy and passed my bank details on but since then no money has been debited out of my account and I haven’t received an insurance certificate. And me being the stupid person I am lost the company name, reference number and contact number. Is there anyway I can find out who I’m insured with?
