Cars & Transportation - 8 December 2007

was looking for some new tyres online for my 2003 passat estate, punched in my reg number and many websites came back with 2 different sizes, 195/65/15 or 205/60/15, i got the 195 fitted at the mo, but does it mean i can fit 205's on the same wheel? confused...

I was driving down a hill going around 20-30 mph. and I tried to take a turn and it a curb almost dead on. The front passenger rim is bent badly and the rear passenger is bent also. I switched the front passenger rim out with the spare and whenever I get over 5 mph I can hear a loud rubbing sound from inside the car. I believe something with the suspension is bent. There is no body damage to the car, I did not crash. I just hit the curb and was able to correct myself.

2002 f150 4x4 about a month or so ago i start to notice/hear an odd clunky sound coming from the front drivers tire area when i hit bumps so i figured it was time for new shocks so i replaced them and added a steering stabalizer problem still there i i forgot to mention that at 35-4 then 50-70 the steering wheel shakes its horrible at speeds above 90 and its not the wheel being out of balance. someone told me it could be the idler arm but rather than just replacing parts till i find whats wrong i thought i try and see what other people thought it might be and how to check. after the shocks i also replaced both front wheel bearing hubs cause thats what i originally thought it was.

My husband was laid off of work so we are really short on money. But I can't miss work myself, so I had to drive my car anyway.
A lady and I collided at a store entrance. We don't know who was at fault yet but I have no insurance.
They had an ambulance out for the man with her but said he was fine.
The cops all saw my EXPIRED insurance card and didn't say a word to me.
What can I expect? What can I do? I'm afraid this is going to ruin me. I'm not worried about my car, my husband can fix that. Her car wasn't too badly damaged but with the cost of repairs now adays, am I looking at a HUGE loss?
Please don't try to scare me unless you are really being honest. I'm scared and remorsful enough.
Thank you.

The state of NH came out with a new law this year requiring the ABS and TRAC dashboard lights to be off.

I had the inspection done at an independent mechanic. The car passes inpection except for the ABS and TRAC lights.

I went to Volvo and they didn't even know about the new law yet. However, they looked it up and found it in the new book. They quoted $720 for a new computer module and labor.

My question is, how can I get around this? Even they said it was a silly law and that the brakes work irregardless.

I wouldn't sacrifice safety, but I've been driving under this condition for years.

Any ideas? Thanks.

My '92 legend brake lights remain on, even when the car is off. I've tried a number of things to stop this from happening. Fuses are all good. Replaced the battery. Unplugged the lights. But none of them has remedied my problem. Need something to point me in the right direction.

My daughter inlaw and son have a 2001 chrysler LHS.The other day they had to have it towed because it would not start,They live in Alaska.The car would turn over and only run for awhile and die,all the lights are working.The guy at the shop replaced the fog light fuse,they started it in the shop and it ran,they took it home and tryed starting it this morning and the same thing happened,it is being towed again.I know nothing about cars,but why would the fog light fuse make it run?I know you have to get cars winterized in Alaska,which they have not done,but the mechanic said that wouldn't make any difference.
We live in Iowa and the winters don't seem to get any colder here than there,it is the same temperature there as it is here today.Any way does anyone know what could be wrong with it.?I think the mechanic is taking their money,my son is in the service and stationed at Fort Wainwright,they don't have alot of money to be throwing away,any help would be appreciated.

for some odd reason I lost power for a few seconds, the radio is asking for the code, I bought the car at an auction and somebody stole the owners manual during the action. I'd take it to the dealer but they want $125 just to look at it before they actually do any work. What do I do? who do I contact?
