Maintenance & Repairs - June 2006

I just bought my car and when I press on the brakes there is a noise, like a creaky kind of noise. Its not very loud. Normally when brakes are bad don't they screech? There is no noise at all if I'm just slowing down a bit, only if I'm a a stop sign or at a fast food drive through. Do you think it needs brake pads? I've only had it for 2 days. ( Its a 2004) Would the dealership sell me a car with bad bakes?

Its a 1997 Renault Megane Scenic 1.6. I want to know the fully laden and 2 occupants pressures as these are the 2 I use most. I would prefer this in PSI form, not bar. Thanks

My 1998 Jeep Cherokee makes a loud thump when shifted from drive to reverse and from reverse to drive, and it shakes when I take a curve. I'm pretty good with car repairs but I haven't found the root of the problem. I've taken apart the transfer case and rear end and found no mechanical problems. I've seen online that the linkage for the 4-wheel drive shifter may need replacing. Any thoughts? The transfer case is ok, and so is the rear end. I have the front drive shaft out, and the engine mounts are good. Could it still be in the front end? The transmission shift good, and doesn't slip. I'm finding it hard to believe that it could be in the transmission. Any thoughts? Please Help!

We have a 2001 Ford Escape V-6 and the air conditioning is barely cooler than just the fan alone. I thought it just needed a shot of freon, so we had the diagnostics performed at the Ford dealership and was told that everything is within specs. No problems. Zip. Nada. Nichts. After paying the $110 and sweating like a *bleep* in church on the way home, I thought to myself, "This is wrong on so many levels. Those mechanics are full of poopoo!" Anyway, thought I might give this Yahoo question thing a try. Any ideas would be appreciated. We have a 10 month old, and she is just soaked in sweat everytime I take her somewhere.

Yesterday I ran my M6 throught the carwash and 3 thick globs of bird-poo were still caked on when I got through. I don't think water and a sponge will do the trick, any suggestions?

I had a guy detail my car, and he just delivered it to me at my place of work. After he left, I thought, hey, maybe I should have tipped him. I did pay $160 for the service...so should I also have tipped him? What's the protocol?

Wife has just had a tyre replace on her Astra. 3 of the tyres are 185/65/R14 T. The new one is 185/65/R14 H. The new tyre has a speed rating of 210km/h whereas the other 3 'T' rated tyres are speed rated to 190km/h. As this tyre has a higher speed rating that the others is it safe to carry on driving on this new tyre, or should it be changed to a 'T' rated one to match the other 3. As I say they are all the same size etc.
