Maintenance & Repairs - August 2006

My beeds look like crap. Does anyone have any suggestions? Would it help if I had a good helmet, like an auto darkening? Mine is the cheapy that came with it where you have to use a hand to hold it.

I was hoping to get some good tips on how to create good beads, and how I can know if they will hold good or not?

My car cut out while waiting at the lights. I couldnt get it to start up again. When I turn the ignition there is a sound, it sounds like something spinning around. What do you think it could be?

Do you think it could be the starter motor? but would i have been able to start the car in the first place if this is the problem?

Do you think it could be the spark plugs?

the car is a 1993, escort xr3,

I was wondering if I should tip my AAA (or CAA in Canada) serviceman for service such as jumping my car or towing my car. If so, how much do you think I should tip for various services?

I have a 2001 Ford escape and my cruise control will not engage now.The cruise indicator light lights up when I turn on the cruise, but when I press the se/accel, nothing happens now.Is there a fuse for this that could be bad? It has worked before in the past.All i did recently was change the air filter.Anything I could have done there?

I recently bought a used (24,000 mi) 2005 Chrysler Sebring and took it to a car wash/oil change place to establish a baseline for future oil changes. The car wash tries to get you to have extra things done... radiator flush, fuel injector cleaning, windshield replacement etc. They said my fuel injectors need to be cleaned... how can tell if they know what they're doing or just trying to take my money?

My video that details the process is in storage and I can't seem to find a step-by-step explanation anywhere on the Internet! I know I need a Torx T-40 for the six bolts and that I'll have to disconnect the wiring for the wiper, but beyond that I'm not sure what to do, what to expect or the proper way to store the top without a rack or hoist. Any tips? Details, please! Thanks!

I have a vauxhall zafira club 03 reg. It is the first car I have had with power steering. Sometimes when i am parking in a tight space, the steering shuddrs and there is a groaning noise. Does that mean ther is a problem with my steering? If I don't do anything will it turn into manual steering or break down altogether?

I have a 2006 Toyota Tundra (4,000 miles) and a 2007 Camry with 5500 miles bought from the same dealership on the same day. The front end paint finishes on both have numerous chips and dings. When I compare that with my 2002 Toyota Echo with 47,000 miles on it, the paint finish is in better shape.
I am thinking the dealership either didn't prep the front end or it is a factory defect. After 3 or 4 months I wouldn't think the finish should have as many chips as it does. Any thoughts?

I have a 2002 Corvette and the A/C stays warm in the vehicle, but the compressor runs normally. I believe the problem to be in the control assy or the actuators but do not really want to rip the dash apart to diagnose if I don't have to. Please Help?

I thought the leak was from the trans pan gasket. I replaced the stock pan w/an alluminum tci trans pan & gasket. When I removed the pan, I found 3 bolt holes stripped out---I fixed this by installing thread inserts in order to keep original bolt size. I made sure the inserts were slightly recessed so pan & gasket could seal properly. After this repair; I filled trans & test drove car. afterwards; I checked & found no leaks. I then let car sit for several hours & every hour upon recheck, I still found no leaks until car had sat for about 4 hours: leak seemed to be from rear of trans pan again. Upon further inspection; found leak seems to be comming from just above the rt rear of trans pan from what looks like a plug of some sort in back of the main housing just below where the tail shaft housing bolts on. The plug (or whatever this is) is about the diameter of a dime. What is this? Has anyone seen this leak before? What can I do to seal this? Please advise.
