Cars & Transportation - 28 December 2007

Hi, i recently replaced the crankshaft assembly, installed a new cylinder sleeve as well as pistons and rings on my KX. Does anyone know the proper break in procedure? I have gotten conflicting stories, some say an hour of run time at no more than half throttle while others say to run 1 tank of fuel through it and consider it broke in. Thanks for your help!

How come so many car companys make these concept cars and never manufacture them for people to buy? I love some of the ideas but for some reason we cant buy the cars. What is the point of making them if your not going to sell them?

there was an intersection up ahead and the lane we were in split into two, but at the time it was still one lane. Isn't it her fault for coming up beside me when it was still one lane?

I see that Dallas Smith Corp.(www.dallassmithcorp.com) has various "commercial applications" available.

Anyone know anything more on the Ford F-450 Deep being available to the consumer market?

Hiya,

I have a 1995 Volvo 850 GLT Estate with no handbook.

A warning light has come up on the dash and I dont what it means.

It is a green triangle inside an orange box,

Inside the green triangle there is a black symbol that looks like an upsidedown "y"

This warning light is right next to the service warning light.

Can anyone tell me what this warning light means


Thanks.... Jabelite

I have a 2004 Nissan Maxima SE 6-speed Manual with 82k miles on it. Nissan put a new clutch in it, change the oil and brake pads 1 month ago. They said it need a tune-up but I wasn't trying to give them another $500-$700 dollars on top of my $1500 bill.

My girl was driving it all yesterday. She parked it on a hill with the front up. Turn the ignition and it wont start. It has a very strong turn and all the lights work but it wont turn. Its barley any gas (thanks Tiff) in it. She put only $5 in it 1 Mile away from our home.

I know its nothing major (well I hope so). Before I tow it to Nissan and they tell me something crazy is wrong with it that cost $1000-$2000, I wanted to ask a couple people. No Check engine lights or anything else is on. What could it possibly be or should I check something? Please help.

My car has some minor issues that I cant afford to fix but I can afford to pay the inspection fee if theres a place that will be flexible and give me a sticker. I used to go to a place like this but the guy retired. I will fix the problems but I just need more time. I am in Somerset County.

Hi all, the street from where I live has a Train Tracks. Its not that high or elevated, and when you cross it, you sometimes don't feel anything at all. I drive a Honda Civic, sometimes the car in front of me are Ford Explorers, F-150 Trucks, Dodge Durango, Cadillac Escalades and the popular Humvee. What gets to me is, these vehicles which are designed for off road climbing and Mobility, literally slow down and sometimes come to a complete stop when they cross this railroad. I would be honking my horn behind them and screaming "YOUR TRUCK IS BUILT FOR THAT DUMMY!"

I want to get a car fixed at a place that offers really low rates. Unbelievable rates. (It costs less to get it fixed when they use their part than if I brought my own part in) So anyways I was quoted over the phone a really decent rate. Then after I digged around I found out there might be a diagnostic charge, which is ok by me EXCEPT I dont want them diagnosing & fixing anything else.

Im doing this as research before I buy a car and that is why I have to make sure I can trust this before I buy the car.
The person I want to buy the car from claims it has nothing wrong with it except the steering pump. But its a 98 so I'm sure there are other things wrong but it is still driveable. I am going to get a carfax with the VIN but either way I dont want him messing with anything else other than the pump.

How can I make sure he doesnt pull the wool over my eyes and make me pay more when I come to pick it up? Can you get a contract or is that unreasonable? What should I put in it if

This would be in regards to commuter passenger rail.
New Jersey Transit uses the pulling locomotive.
Long Island uses the DMU.
There must be some reason for the difference.
