I really don't know much about cars besides the fact that mechanics like to overcharge women for their lack of knowledge. Anyway...I need my power steering fluid changed. How can I do this myself? It's a 2000 Taurus. My basic knowledge is where the resivoir to check the fluid is located. Please HELP.

Is it engine displacement or regardless of this? Why can't auto manufacturers stick to timing chain, as this is long-lasting and does not snap, unlike timing belts which are made of rubber? What is the rationale for the decision to use either belt or chain?

The front headlamp bulb has blown. I wanted to change it myself, but the light unit seems to be entirely closed, and I see no way to open it. Is this a job for a mechanic only? Many thanks for your help.

Used truck to pull a small float in a parade that day, it rained in the AM and the truck was outside during the rain. Later that day, at parade time, it was partly cloudy and 80. After the parade the horn started honking sporadically then it went to a solid honk. I disconnected the battery in order to silence the truck as a crowd was gathering and proceeded to pull the horn fuse.
The keys were on the dash so no buttons were depressed at the time of the occurance. Any thoughts on this would be greatly appreciated.

It rained this weekend. I was sure my car's window was up, but I turned out I left it open. The car was soaking wet inside. It dried, but it has this smell. I sprayed an entire can of Oust, and left it all night with the windows closed. It still smells bad. What can I do?

It will take a great deal of time for the mechanic to take apart the dash (and reassemble) to get ot the wiper motor through the dash.

Is it difficult to do myself, and where and how do I start?

I've done basic maintenance and easy repairs like replacing and packing bearings and a cv boot, but I've never touched a dash in my life. I've also never handled wiring (car is '87 mercedes 300).

Is it easy or would I be over my head...and any advice?

I want to sell my car privately. I think there is a problem with the radiator - seems to overheat when sitting in traffic and there was a leak. Is it better for me to just sell it cheap as is, or to get this fixed and fully serviced before selling? Will this really add a lot more onto the sale price if I do so? (Its a vauxhall tigra). Can anyone help please!
