I have a new 49cc gas scooter that the needed the front tire assembled. There is a front disc brake that is supposed to clamp around the disk mounted on the front tire. BUT the front break is now clamped completely closed and I can't get it open. Should I try to take the brake apart to get the brake pads open? IS there a simple fix? Should I wait to try to get someone to look at it? I can't take it to a shop because, well, can't drive without brakes. So what do I do?

Just had motor put in. when I hook up the wiring harness to the egr valve, it sputters and wants to stall out. Is this a bad egr valve, or something worse, like incompatible computer module?

The vehicle start to cut out and after taking it to the dealers they still cant get the problem. They put it on the computer but no problem. I even send it to Bosch dealers to check the diesel pump but there was no problems.

The vehicle get a "hicup" when the refs go over 3000 and you did not change it to the next gear it cut out. When you eventually get to the fifth gear and start getting your speed over 100 km per hour it start to "hicup" more till you get over the 120 kph then it travel smoothly again. The moment you start loosing speed again it start doing it all over again.
I would appreciate it if somebody can give me an idea what the problem can be.

Driving up a small road, council workers trimming branches of trees, and headges. They leave tree branches behind in the road, you drive past, large branches go under the car, hear a bang. About 8-10 miles later, you see smoke which appears to be coming from the exhaust. Just get home, car making a wirring noise. Call out RAC, who say's "there is a leak in the gear box". NOT engine oil, as this is too thin. Checked the engine oil levels, OK. Evenutally flat bedded transported to a main dealer garage, Main dealer for Renault, not knowing the extent of the damage, nearly give me a heart attack - they say needs NEW gear box £2500 inclusive. But you WON'T BE ABLE TO CLAIM FROM INSURANCE, AS THE LEAK IS ?? ENGINE OIL ?? AND THE ACCIDENT WOULD NOT HAVE CAUSED THIS . IT IS A MECHANICAL FAULT - CANNOT CLAIM ON A MECHANICAL FAULT. Why would the garage say this? The car was fine until this incident. The garage is on a list of authorised repair garages for the Insurance Company.

Inside my air cleaning housing, after removing the air filter, there was found to be an accumulation of oil, which looks to have sprayed from somewhere inside the housing. Does anyone have any idea what may have caused this, or how I can begin to detect the source? Thank you SO MUCH!!!

The ABS, Traction Control and Airbag lights are all on. The battery light is NOT on and the only OBDII codes I pulled said bank 1 & 2 are too lean.

The last time all the lights came on + battery, it was the alternator- shop put"new" one in last month. I checked the voltage it and it seems to be charging fine...16 volts. If I bring it to 5000 rpm and back off the gas it will stall but it will hold an idle. I just drove 40 miles and it started right up again.

car ran real short of gas, lost power, started running really choppy and backfiring, so I replaced the fuel filter thinking it sucked up some gunk. The fuel pump is about 2 months old, and seems to be running fine. Yes I added gas so its not low anymore. After the extra fuel, and the fuel filter its still backfiring, and running so choppy it will hardly move. Does anyone have any ideas on what it could be past the filter? If I let off the fuel pedal the car dies. Thanks in advance if anyone has anymore ideas.

I have a black car that had been in a wreck and I got a door from the junk yard that matches up pretty good but has become quite a faded almost a gray looking black . So my question is what would be a good wax, polish or cleaner to bring out the luster in this door.

The cracks from this chip extend out about 7 inches. The bumper seems undamaged. I am not too concerned with how "unprofessional" the job looks.

i have an old winnebago motorhome with a replacement dodge 440-3 engine of unknown year (the 440-3 was not available on this motor home but a P.O. "fitted" it in). It's past time for me to replace the oil and filter, but I can't find which filter part # to purchase.
