I need to find a way to turn this off today was the first real day of snow and this is the first time i had to drive it in the snow my previous car had a way to turn it on and off. Some people may wonder why turn it off? Well for me id rather have the wheels spin to get up the hill then to shut down like it does i drive better going up hills with it off. Thanks

My 2001 Ford FOCUS may need a catalytic converter. Is there such thing as a warranty for that?

Hello, everybody!
I have BMW 523i, E39, 1996. My accumulator is totally down and I am about to buy the new one.
Here is the question: in my old accumulator it's only says that it's 640A. It's not indicated wheather starter is 65, 70, 75 or 100. So, which one fits better and will last longer in my case? Also, which brand is better to buy?
Accumulator is located in the trunk, on the right.

Best regards,
Thank you
Vadim

Does anyone own one? what do people think? I've heard the toyota corolla is really reliable but I want a smaller car, so was interested to know if the yaris is a reliable car.

I just purchased a used 1996 Nissan Sentra from a friend. 130k miles on it, 1.6 liter engine. I've driven several clutches before - a 90 Corolla, my uncle's mustang, and my current 2000 Accord. All of those clutches had a taught clutch- if you pushed it in and out the clutch "followed" your foot and there was a lot of resistance.

In this Sentra, however, it's very soft. It takes hardly any pressure (compared to my previous experiences) to push the clutch in, and it seems slow to return to position once I undepress. The transmission otherwise seems to work fine- no slippage, the only problem was me trying to time the gas with when the gear engaged.

Any thoughts on how to tighten it up? It's a cable based system, so I'm guessing there is a spring somewhere.

I deliver, install and maintain aquariums. I also make pine stands and canopies for them. I have a friend who has been making iron stands for me.
The problem is delivery. A have a Kia Spectra5 station wagon. The Spectra is the same as the Hyundai Elantra, on the large end of compact car or the very small end of mid-sized car.
Larger tanks are 5 or 6' long. Not that I see them often, but there are some 7' long tanks out there.
Getting a 5' tank is a hassle in my car. I like to be out for the day and do 3-4 deliveries. Hard to do this unless they are 3' tanks, like a 38 or 40. More common, like 4' tanks like 55's or the very popular 72 bowfront barely fit two.
I'm thinking Rondo, because it gets nearly as good mileage as my Spectra5. It's thousands less than Mazda 5. It's cheaper than a Chevy HHR or PT Cruiser, which are smaller.
It is an oddball model. How has your experiences with it been? Is it worth spending an extra $2,500 on a Mazda 5? Thanks.

I have an '05 Subaru Forester XT. When I go to stop or slow down and shift from 3 or 4 to 2 my engine stalls. I have taken it to Subaru and they did a 60,000 mile tune up, changed the neutralizing shift, and the air fuel filter (that was the code the car gave the computer). But nothing has worked. Anybody have a subaru that does this or any advise. My car has been in the shop for just about a month now.

A buddy of mine mentioned to me that he had heard the new Chevy Malibu was going to have a rear view drive option. I told him I was pretty sure it wasnt going to.

Is it or is it not going to be offered w/ a RWD option?

It has a 3.3 L engine, V6, front wheel drive, 173,000 miles. I just had a new accumulator, new battery and 2 new rear wheel cylinders installed also. It is an ES or LS (I don't have the paper in front of me right now). I just would like to know some possible scenarios that could be wrong with my van.

OK! I just left CarMax! I have an 05 Pathfinder with 72,000 miles and still owe $16,000. CarMax is going to give me $11,000 for my car. Do I trade and take the $400.00 car payment. I currently pay $472.00 a month. I do not know what to do! If I take the car it is an 03 infiniti with 98,000 miles and the cost is $15,000. It really doesnt sound like a deal but the lower my payments the better. I cannot afford the car that I have now so I need to make a decision quick! BUT WHAT?

Turn signals rarely work. No rhyme or reason as to when they will/won't work. Tried looking for a faulty ground in trailer connection unit (draw-tite system) with no success. Replaced the flasher units, checked all bulbs, still nothing.
Everything else fine, except had a brake light go out and replaced that. Any suggestion are appreciated.

My power steering has gone out on my drive home and I cannot seem to find where to check this level. It is not listed in the manual nor is there a cap easily displayed under the hood. Anyone's help is greatly appreciated.

I have a 2006 Audi A4 quattro. I took the car to the dealership and they want me to change the rotors, as well. I only have 27000 miles on the car. Do the rotors have to be changed. The dealer does not resurface the rotors so they would rather change them out altogether. The dealer wants $760 for front brakes, front rotors, and changing the rear pads only. Is that too much, and should I get an estimate from a private shop, like firestone?
