I remeber seeing someone reflating tyres using and inflammable liquid to produce a sudden burstof heat/ exhaust gasses to re-flate tyres on off road vehicles. I think it might have been in iceland , off roading on icy terrain like glaciers. I want a picture or even better .mpeg video of this. Any ideas? links?

I got a mechaninc to look at it because the a/c was working when i got the car but it would blow hot air when i used the car in 45-60 mph then it would just blow hot air for the rest of the time till i turned of the car and let it cool for a while and he said it somthing to do with a hose coming out of the compressor going to the drier/acumulator somone before i bought the car had put some of that green dye on it and he said thier was somthing wrong with the hose cause it had some liquid on it. Then he said he was going to check if the system had any R-134a in it and it had some cus as soon as he unscrewed the top it started leaking.like the valve was stuck or somthing. what is this part callled where you check this thing i might need to buy it new. what is the hose he was mentioning called i might need to buy that is it the liquid hose? well and the freon leaked now i dont know what the problem is. I was thinking of buyin compressor, liquid hose, drier, orfice tube $500 in parts HELP

I will not be driving my car and it is parked in an outside covered area but again, the annual climate is hot and humid. What can I do to my leather seats and dash to prevent mildewing/molding. Would a leather spray cleaner/protector keep this from reoccurring? Someone suggested placing a small open bag of charcol in the automobile. I would be interested in your thoughts. Thank you.

My Buick is having this problem for 6 weeks now. Service can't seem to find what's causing it. In the morning and in the evening after starting the car and driving a few feet (out the driveway) it will start shaking and loose power and possibly stall out. After restarting it runs just fine. Service replaced plugs, wires and did general tune-up. Still did the same thing. Service checked/replaced onboard computer, checked crank sensor, mass air flow throttle all to no avail. Checked Buick for any re-call activity for this problem - no luck. Any suggestions?

BRAKE FLUID in the POWER STEERING UNIT! HELP? It was at least 4 oz of brake fluid. It's already making that humming noise after I cleaned out all that I could and put fresh power steering fluid in. I know I need to fix it. (lol) But who out there knows the immediate damage to the steering colum, and dangers of driving the car?? Or long term deteriation if I can't service it due to financial issues right now? Thanks.

I own a 2000 Dodge Neon, 100,000 miles.
The rear main seal is leaking, but I am more worried about the knocking sound I hear when engine is cold. After it warms up, it quiets down. Would it be the main engine bearing? Something else perhaps? Will it cost a fortune to get repaired?
Ideas?
