My friend (why I lack details) has a 1998 convertible BMW she said its a 3 series. Any how we went on a road trip. Gassed up and the gas flap would not close, after messing with it (lock doors-unlock doors, shut car on and off) we went on our way. Few hours later got home and went to get my backpack out of the trunk, trunk would not open.... its been a weeek and still no trunk access and the gas flap still wont lock. I really need into the trunk to get my back pack. She said there is not a manual bypass to open the trunk. How do we get into the trunk?

While I'm sitting still for a few seconds it feels like it's shaking, jerking then it'll shut off. When I crank it back up it takes off really slow. What do you think is wrong?

It would seem a natural, especially in the southwestern states that get a lot of sun.

I saw on an RAC advert that you could rub something over the wipers and it would ensure a clear screen when using them. Can any body remeber this advert and could you confirm that it is vinegar i use. (Yes i am cheap and buying some new ones is not an option!)

is drained. I tried to jump it but it only made a clicking sound when I turned the key. I dont think there is anything wrong with the actual battery, is this the alternator? Its been sitting for about 2 and a half months. Its a ford ranger, and I tried jumping with a ford escort? Do i just need a bigger vehicle to jump it with?

I've been told that if aftermarket brakes are used, the brake hardware kit must be removed b/c the aftermarket brakes won't fit otherwise.

One guy at nissan says the brakes will just be noisier w/ aftermarket brakes, thus the hardware kit is actually not needed.

Another guy says the brakes probably slide b/c the hardware kit is no longer there.

Any insight on experience with 03 nissan maxima brakes--factory vs. after market?

We're expecting some snow this weekend. We just bought the car not long ago and I'm currious if it really helps all that much? What kind(s) of benefits come with using it? We've not got the owners manual. Any thoughts on the traction control or the other aspects of this car are appreciated. I can add too that when driving it makes a sound similar to that of a cd player which is continual searching for the next track. Anyone have any ideas on what could be causing this? I turn the cd player off and even remove the cds' from the player and it still does it. Thanks!

Hello, i have a 1995 plymouth voyager...3.0 ... 6cyl minivan. all of the sudden, it stopped running. It started, then faded off... i assumed it wasn't getting gas. I listened for the electric fuel pump to kick in, but it's not. I checked the fuses and i even checked the trouble codes off of the computer...but none came up. I then removed the fuel tank to check if the fuel pump is getting voltage... i found none. What could it be?! I just replaced my distributor cap and rotor because i heard a noise and saw a spark comming from it (small crack inside of cap). Could that have caused a short somewhere? The distributor is right next to the fuel injectors (multiport). Please help! I also found a fuse that says "auto shutoff". Could this have kicked in? I'm confused :(

I want to make a complaint after buying a static mobile home. We have had at least a dozen problems since moving in and now believe we are being lied to. Is there some sort of governing body, or watchdog, that covers mobile home sales?
