My Renault Laguna estate (N reg. 2.0 petrol) is regularly goes overheated while driving slowly or idle. The fan won't cut in even the coolant in the tank is boiling. I've noticed that the radiator hose is not "very" hot.
And the heater in the car only goes a little warm.

Could that be the thermostat?
I tried to locate the thermostat but failed. seems it's under the air filter housing... Do I need to remove it to get the thermostat?

Thanks!

BTW there are coolant coming back to the tank so I guess the water pump is fine.

i also have a sluggy substance in my oil cap, i thought my head were probably cracked, but two of my automotive teachers from school said, that wasn't the problem. it was from the water not vaporizing right, or the pcv wasn't operating correctly

I have a 2004 Saturn Ion-3 and it came without an owner's manual. I have figured out how to set the custom treble and bass settings, but I haven't figured out how to save them so that I don't have to reset them each time I start the car. Any ideas?

Trying to install a Radio in a '91 Ford Taurus for my Wife's birthday.

I think I need to remove the center console to get at the wiring.

The center console seems to be more or less 1 piece.

I found the top screws but looking and feeling around the bottom of the console, I can't find the bottom screws to allow it to release.

Searched the web abd can't find instructions. Trying to save money by DIY

Is there anything out there that doesn't require switching from dim to bright? (or if left on bright, doesn't blind oncoming traffic...) Is there anything that uses less battery if you leave the lights on?

Are these new things available for install on existing vehicles or are they factory install? What can you expect to pay?

These past few months it has been taking me forever to get my car to start. I would turn the ignition but nothing happens. All my lights will come on and the doors will lock but car just will not start. I would have to keep turning the ignition and after a few min. it will finally start up. But, then theres times that I will get in and it will fire right up. These past 2 days have been crazy. Yesterday, I went to start it and got a half of a start and then it completely died on me and I couldn't get it restarted at all. I had somebody give me a jump and it was fine for the rest of the day. Then today the same thing happened. My friend gave me a jump, it started up then I tried to drive it and it would stall. We had to jump it 3x. The battery is only a year old and was told that couldn't be the alt. cause the car still ran when the cable was disconected and all my lights still come on. Does this sound like a bad starter? And why will it stall after it was jumped? My cars is a 96 t-bird.

i have a 94 nissan maxima 3.0 dohc that has a weird low rpm misfire. it seems to go away above 2000rpms.
when you disconnect the fuel injector the idle gets rougher.
but when connect back in the roughness goes away a lilttle bit.

but when you removed the coil (on top of sparkplug) the idle does'nt change.

the coil is fine. it sparks and my spark plug is black. and there seems to be a rich smell from the exhaust.....

anyone have any suggestions??

Okay so this guy, i land up buying him a car for our 1 month anniversary. I know i know it was a stupid card to play. Now there is nothing in writing that he owns the car. My name is on everything, the registration, the insurance and the title. Is it ***** of me to take the car back because he cannot prove to me that He can handle that type of financial responsability? The guy is a total wreck and he cant afford the payments for the insuarance and the registration. I know the car was a gift but c'mon the car is still on my credit and hes hurting me from purchasing another vehicle.

Whilst driving my car over 60 mph (1996 Nissan Maxima Aut.) I suddenly felt a drag as if I ran over some very strong adhesive. At my destrination I tried to back and it wouldn't move in reverse. I drove home and decided to back up in my drive way. I depressed the exal. and it back up with a jolt roughly. I tried other gears. It wouldn't move in 1st and 2nd gear. Then couple weeks after I tried it again. Now it will drive forward but with an effort as if somthing is wrong in the diff. or transmission. It hadn't run out of transmission oil and I never had this problem before. I once took out the radiator and had was to remove the hose that take the fluid to the transmission to cool it and some fluid drained out, but before I drove it I replaced the fluid and it was full. Can anyone tell me what's the problem, if it's transmission problem, do I have to replace the tran or is it a minor problem. Thanks.

Would a Pontiac Grand Prix be worth fixing if it still drives and runs but the front end of it is all smashed up. It's a 2006. The air bags aren't deployed either, And its under a salvage title. So what would you do?
