Ive got a patch of rust about the size of my fist on the tailgate of my jeep. I want to have it professionally fixed and painted. Does anyone have any idea of roughly how much it may cost?

I just took my driving permit test and failed and one of the questions were.
Should you stay...?
2 second behind a car.
3 sceonds behind a car.
5 sceonds behind a car.

I picked 3 sceonds because the book talked about the 3 sec rule forever and even told you how you know how many seconds you are behind a car. But it told me the correct answer was 2 seconds. Why?

Other than looking the specs up online, how can I tell if my car has front or real wheel drive?

I have to make sure the car is completely warmed up or the ignition key will not come out, the engine will shut off but the key will not come out when the outside temperature gets to about the freezing point or below. I have had the ignition replaced twice and it doesn't make a difference.

I have a whirring/whooping noise coming from the passenger front wheel. This noise starts at around 10mph and the noise gets faster and slightly louder as I accelerate.

I don't get any vibrations from my steering wheel at all and the noise does not get any worse when turning either way.

Could this be the bearings or something with the wheel? Would putting the spare wheel on be a good call to see if the noise goes away?

Any advise/guidance would be much appreciated. Thanks.

When the engine is idle, or when it is running the noise of the engine seems loud. I bought the car 30 days ago, and I used engine oil 20W/50, i dont know what was the oil used before. The recommended oil is written inside the hood to use 5W/30 oil. Is it possible that using 20W/50 oil is the main cause that makes the engine noisy? what is the difference between the two oil ratings 20W/50 and 5W/30?

I know someone had an accident, they had a new clutch and garage didn't put oil in the gearbox. Few days later he spun his car and crashed into fence.

My mate told me the reason it happened, cause there were no oil in the gearbox and while he was changing the gear round the bend the driveshaft on the left locked up and the tyre burst then the car spun round facing toward the way he came.

He found out there were no oil after the accident and there are no slight of leakage.

Throttle Position Sensor
Intake Gaskets
