The car has about 66,000 miles and has been properly maintained. I recently had an oil change. The tires are properly inflated and have less than 10,000 miles on them. It has NOT had a 60,000 mile tune-up yet though. What improvement could I expect with the tune-up? How much does one usually cost?

I´ve got the latest model Seat Ibiza(04 plate), 1.2 engine. Since I´ve had the car I´ve had no trouble with it at all, touch wood, but say three times over the past couple of years the air conditioning has failed to work. Instead of pumping out cold air, it produces HOT air. At first I thought it was a one off, or that I hadn´t switched it on properly, but the other day the same thing happened. As I say, it´s only happened on very few occasions, but does anyone know why this happens? Is it normal for aircon not to work on the odd occasion?

If allowed to cool for half an hour or more, the van will crank and run just fine. Problem seems associated with outside temps more than with engine temp.

My car: 110,000 miles and 5 years old. A repair tech suggested me to replace a cable from the pedal to engine, which would cost me around $200 for parts and labor. Would this solution solve the problem clearly? Thanks for your comment.

I know that scrapyards pay for old cars, but I don't know the process to sell it to one -- like signing over the title, etc. I just don't want to give it to some auto shop to do it for me "for free," while they pocket the $$$. I want the $$$ for myself!

I have a '98 Ford Escort that pulls to the right when driving at constant speed or breaking, but when I accelerate (and the weight is off the front wheels), the steering goes back to normal.

Can someone tell me what's wrong and how to fix it or how much I can expect to pay to sort this in a garage? Thanks in advance.

The rear left tail light cluster has just had all its bulbs replaced, twice, and all the fuses checked and are good to go. Problem is, the brighter part of the 1157 bulb does not light. The other, dimmer part does. This leaves me with no left brake light at night, and a very dim one during the day.

The right cluster works fine, and uses the same bulbs from the same package (even switched them to make sure). I'm a little confused.

I have a '97 Mitsubishi Eclipse RS (automatic) with stock engine and it seems that this car may have a lot of problems. First of all this car is leaking Oil and Transmission fluid. What should I do? Next when ever I am driving, I push on the accelerator, it seems that the car just downshifted or lose power then will run fine. Next, sometimes when ever I drive my car, my engines begins to start shaking very much, then my engine just dies or about to die. But sometimes, my car has a hard time starting up. I think it is a battery problem, but I took it to AutoZone to test and came back good battery. I dont know if there SPECIFIC BATTERY for cars, but I have a small batter for my eclipse, thats my other question. These seems to be my problem with my car. What should I do?
