How can the petrol companies sell petrol at prices that are X.9pence when .9 is not legal tender. if I just want a litre how come they round it up to the next penny. why dont they just put the price on the board at the next penny. do they think we think we are saving anything at point nine of a pence.

Engine check done on '01 Nissan Sentra
List of items that came up:
-oxygen sensor
-cadalytic converter
(both of which might be causing the rough start on my car)
-transmission component slipping
-tort converter-->one component slipping in transmission
-rear main seal leak in the engine
-burnt fluid from transmission
-contamination in the pan...which leads them to believe there definately is an internal transmission problem b/c: fluid is burnt

On a student's budget, are there some corners I can cut to get my car in enough shape to pass inspection this month?

I'm looking into getting this cheap Ford Contour, but the ad says that the transmission slips in first gear. I feel stupid asking this, but what does that mean?

I've had the care tuned-up and changed the engine programming; also paid attention to my shifting pattern but mileage doesn't change.

it's a '63 Ford Falcon and on rainy morning when i first start it and drive away it starts to sputter and the gas pedal will be on the floor and i'm barely moving. after about 15 min. it's back to normal but it's dangerous and I'm trying to figure it out.

on dry days it's fine.

Me and my club will sometimes take rides of 80 or 90 miles and then hit one of our local watering holes. I'm finding lately that the next day when I wake up my rear-end is really sore. My bike has the stock suspension and seat, so I haven't bastardized that part of the bike with any chinese junk that would make it less comfortable - does anyone have the same experience with their Harley?

Anyone have any tips for stringing Xmas lights on a HD? I mounted an electric menorah on the back and stuck on some Kwaanza stickers as well so I will represent all diverse religions. Merry Christmas everyone!

Last night, my two year old grandson was in my car for a few minutes. When I got in the car and started the ignition, lights flashed and the horn was blowing. We disconnected the battery, but it didn't help. The remote battery has been dead for months. Is there anything he could have done to set it off from inside the car?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Hello. i have a 1998 subaru outback. i replaced my radiator hoses, thermostat and flushed the system. I can drive the car around town without any problem, but if i am driving it on the highway for about 15 to 20 minutes. when i pull off and slow down i see my temp gauge rising. when riding around town, my car warms up to its regular temp and rides fine, but when you hit higher speeds for a longer period of time, thats when it decides to heat up...

i replaced radiator hoses due to a leak, and i filled it with coolant and let it run to prevent air pockets. since i was down there, i replaced the thermostat.

compression leak? head gasket? cracked head? cracked block? anyone know??????

I am about to take my car out of town and my coolant level is low. I was just going to top it off but wasn't sure about mixing new coolant with old coolant. I know what type I should use, but wasn't sure about mixing. Any help is appreciated and if you have a link to an outside reference, even better. Happy Holidays.

I was making a right turn into my driveway, which happeneds to be more than a 90 degree turn up hill. So the only way to make the turn is to go about two feet into the other lane with my left tires and make to approach. I noticed there was a driver aways behind me as I put me blinker on, and turned up into my driveway, and was hit on the side passanger door. TBONED by the guy, who was trying to make a pass on the right>? WHO IS AT FAULT, He is arguing saying I am. But I was hit about 7 feet in my driveway, all four tires of mine were in the driveway when I was hit. We did get the accident report and it doesnt say anything about who is at fault, also my car is totalled.

Has anybody been able to rivet a chain maybe in a vise?

Has anybody tried it and the result being pain and carnage after the chain fell off?

Am I being a crazy fool for trying?

Yes, I know I can bring it to the shop but I rather not.

If you can answer this question without insulting me I would appreciate it.

Thank you!!

I just got it abt 4 months ago. The check engine light comes on and it says "engine power reduced" and while driving the car will slow down from like 70 to 40 mph. And if I have to go up a hill, i can't make it. If I turn the car off and wait a while it will go for a while and then the same thing will happen. Had throtle sensor replaced and that didnt work. now they say its my EGR valve. Could that be it??
