my wife has taken the car from the UK to the French Alps for the winter and we have not had the problem before whereby it locks fine with the key but unlocks when the key returns vertical to be withdrawn and it would be great to fix it when I visit next weekend

I have a 1993 Ford explorer 4.0 4x4. My truck will not start. the start sounds like it is free wheeling. I replaced the starter and the new one dose the same thing it will not spin the engine it just sounds like it is free wheeling. I cleaned off all the posts on the starter and on the solinoid but it did no good. the ground cable is in good condition too. The ring gear on the fly wheel is in good condition I can spin the fly wheel with a screwdriver on the ring gear and it turns the engine over. the teeth on the ring gear are not stripped out. and the starter teeth are good also. I have gotten the car to start twice like this I put jumper cables on it and It started. and then I charged the battery over night and it started but only once each time it would not start again after that. The battery is holding a full charge as well (12.87 volts). I'm out of ideas. Any help is greatly apretianted Thank You!

What are the pros and cons of doing that. I don't care much for speed. I care more for safety and better grip on the road. What is best: keeping it factory size or go bigger?

I drive a 1992 Ford Escort LX (I think). Whenever I park my car, I have to leave the shifter in drive or reverse (automatic transmission). It started one day for no reason as far as I can tell. Basically, the engine cranks in park or neutral until I turn the key. I'd like to get some infor before I take it into a shop. As of now, I cannot park on any slanted surface for fear of rollback.

To assure that I get the title. I'm having the car transported from Michigan to Arkansas in an enclosed hauler. They want to do a wire transfer, which is fine, but again, I want to make sure I receive the title. Thanks

I was at work today and backed out of my parking space. I put it in drive and tried to drive forward when one of my rear tires locked up. I drove it around until I got to the nearest parking spot and parked it. When I was driving, it made a horrible squeaking the noise the whole way around. I live in the midwest and we just got about 8 inches of snow. I was wondering if it is possible that the cold made my brakes lock up or freeze up? What should I look at in order to correct this problem. The car is a '92 Dodge Dynasty. Thank you in advance.

I have a mazda rx8 (RWD). I put wheels on it that are aftermarket that i used to have on my 2003 hyundai tiburon (FWD). The bolt pattern is the same and they all installed properly. I am concerned because the wheel width of the factory wheels are 8" and the aftermarket ones are 7.5".. is this going to make a difference of cause any issues? Thanks!

Story:
I took an exit ramp and was going around 35-45 mph in my truck(Chevy s10), which was straight but then turned into a very sharp turn. I was going too fast so I braked and ended up sliding, because it was raining, right over the median. I lucked out and didn't hit a car or anything else. I'm so glad it was just a curb median and not a guardrail. I continued driving once I regained control but the whole way home I couldn't go about 40mph or the truck would shake violently. The alignment was also very off after this and the rim was bent.

Question:
Besides the obvious, replacing the bent rim and getting the wheels aligned and balanced. Is there anything else I will need to look at or fix? And is the shaking above 40mph caused by the bent rim or something much more severe? People have told me both. Thanks!
