Hi, My Land Rover LR3 brand new 2006 purchased 04/01/06 since then I have "Check Engine" light on for no reason. no gas lid open or anything I did. I took to the dealer and they fixed with reprogram computer and such. Finally 3 days ago 8 different light on at indicator and automatic shift doesn't change so I had to drove 10-20 miles on 45 miles street(which is mean people driving 50-55mil) The day purchased this car has already "Check engine" light on, but they said it's sometimes happen so bring back other day to fix. Now I realized I should returned on the day I purchased. Now seems Lamon Law is applicable for my case, but dealer said "Check Engine" light on means could lot of different reason so it is not same reason they fixed 3 times. Now 8 lights including "Check Engine" on and they mentioned that Lemon isn't suit for my case. Is that really not suit for Lemon case for "Check Engine" light came on more than3? I think they fail to fix it in the past so it was huge fix happened.

I decided about a year ago to dress like the "avid outdoorsman" I am. So I threw away all my jeans and Macy*s clothes and have worn only zip-off nylon pants, cross training shoes, Teva sandals, button up rayon or polyester shirts, and nylon t-shirts. I look like I just got back or am just leaving on a hike ALL THE TIME.

Now, I'm beginning to pursue my passion for auto mechanics, though I still love backpacking, and wonder if I can combine the two or I'll have to dress completely differently? I don't want to be some sort of Nascar type, I'm not interested in auto racing. More about small 4X4's like CJ7 and Scout 800, classic cruisers like the '64 Lincoln Continental, and making good use of Japanese cars.

Of course I know you need more than the right clothes to be an auto mechanic and builder. But the scope of this question is limited to just that specific area, please.

Apparently, the exhaust gases smell like a brewery. The fact that the car sometimes weaves around like its drunk doesn’t help either. Bad tie rods, you know? I have told the police on many occasions that I don’t drink but “the car does”, and it usually causes the officers to get real mad. Many times, I’ve been pulled out of the car, and asked to do the stupid sobriety tests. Have you ever tried to sing the alphabet backwards? Seriously, who can do this, sober or otherwise? When I try to explain that I converted the car to run on beer, I usually get the cuffs. One time, I opened the trunk to show the officer the empty beer bottles. I was sited for open container. Now, I only buy kegs for the car. But pumping that kegger when your in a hurry is a real *****, though. And tempting too. Especially when it's hot outside and you’ve had a long day at the office. Does anyone have any ideas on how to make the beer smell go away from the exhaust?

My Micra is only 3 years old, yet suddenly one morning 2 weeks ago it wouldn't start. It started later in the day. Then one morning the intelligent key didn't work, I couldn't get in the car. I got in using manual key but again car didn't start. Just a click, no turn over. Again it was Ok later in day. Next day, the same. Local garage couldn't fix it. I took it to main dealer. They fixed it. Something to do with the communication between electronics and immobiliser? Cost £90. Two days later, same problem. Garage said whole new ECU now needed, by doing previous repair they were trying to keep cost down by only replacing small part but whole ECU needed replacing. Cost £370. Another mechanic then told me there was a recall on some Micras - a faulty ignition. My Micra is 1.2 SE, April 2003.

I've got a 1996 Chevy Lumina and when my brother looked at it, he told me I need the cooling system flushed. I've been told it has to be bled as well. How do I do this?

The front lip of my bonnet has gone in slightly, about 1cm. Some people have said that because the ford escort has a double lip on the end that it is not possible to push the dent out. Does anyone think that it IS possible to do so???

Ok , I bought a toyota rav4 1998 with 175 000 kilometres on it from the Toyota Dealership 1 yr and 1 month ago. We never got but a month guarantee because it was over 5 yrs old and and had more than 170 000 kl on it. we didnt get and extended guarantee. So the story goes, we now have 200 200 kl and the timing chain and water pump went. Wasn't the Dealership responsible to make sure that the vehicule was upto date on its maintenance before we drove it home? Should they have maybe mentioned something about this, as this timingbelt thing seems to be pretty general for all toyotas, and they need replacing before 150 000 clicks.
