I think I may have mixed coolants when I came back to college because my dad put one kind in while I was still home and I put Peak in when I got back here, now the engine is overheating and once when I stopped I could actually hear/see the coolant boiling in the "tank". I was wondering how I would go about draining the coolant in the car so I could simply refill it with one type. I need to do this by Friday morning so if anyone knows, please help out. Thanks, - Seth

I bought a water pump but I don't know how to replace it, I have been waiting for free time for a guy pal to come help me replace it, but in the meanwhile i have been driving it, just topping off the radiotor w/water when I have to drive to school and work. Today it started to clank and rattle when I accelerated then would stall when I would break. When I turned off my car it was steaming. I know I have a mess!

That means the door frame (driver side) is cracked and the door itself barely closes.

I bought a 1989 Civic with a 1989 CRX engine and tranny, the engine has been bored 75 over and it has oversized pistons and the head has been decked, some people have told me it is now a 1.8L with the boring out of the cylinders, is this accurate? The thing pulls hard to 7000rpms, is it possible to be around 140-150 horse?

My 'Service Engine Soon' light would be on? I drive a 2001 Nissan Altima which I took for an oil change yesterday. After he was done, the mechanice said the car is in good condition with no work needed. Last night whilst parked in my friend's driveway talking, (It was really cold, so we kept the car running while we talked... for about 45 mins) the 'Service Engine Soon' light came on, and has stayed on since. Any ideas why? I'm terrified the car's going to die on the highway or something.

Suddenly, my car's electrical windows no longer respond. Do I need a new fuse in the electrical system? How much does it cost? If not, what else could be the problem?

Over the last 2 days my Seat Ibiza 1.6 (6 years old, 94000 km on the clock) has intermitently shuddered whilst driving, it lasts for a split second when it happens and it feels like the car wants to stop. I have had a faint clunking under the car for some months but only when i start my journeys and recently, the engine has also has not exactly purred like a kitten - whilst sitting idle, the rev meter goes from 10 down to 5 or 6 and back again (I dont know a great deal about cars as you can probably tell). My engine oil is checked regularly although I have not checked or changed my gearbox oil/fluid or whatever at all. I will be taking it to agarage but wondered if anyone had any idea what the problem might be and/or how much i can expect to pay at a garage to have this looked at? Thanks and apologies if I have used bad terminology and for my embarrasing lack of car knowledge!

says they won't pay to "clean" the alternator. I say it is a "repair" not a clean. The dealer wants to remove the alt and disassemble it to remove the debris. Is the alternator "damaged" and in need of "repair", or does it just need "cleaning"? And is the insurance co, a MAJOR company, just trying to rip me off by refusing to "clean", saying cleaning is not covered, only repairs are covered. I'm pretty upset......I want other opinions please.

Car is Nissan Primera 1998 2 L, we drive the car normally and only on sealed roads. Has anyone heard of a reoccuring problem with older Nissan Primeras. The car is a brialliant car apart from this. We have also had the CV joints or boots repaired over a year ago as well. So we are not sure what to do next
