Hello everyone! Having a few snags with my corsa. A while back the Tacho just shot back to zero and the battery and handbrake light came on. Anyway drove it last night and the battery went flat. Anybody got any ideas or had the same problem? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The climate control fan on my 1999 Lincoln Town car is fluctuating quite a bit. It will start running at full speed for a couple of seconds, then go down to nothing. It will alternate between these two extremes randomly. Is there some sort of control module I could (easily) replace?

what problems can you get when u overfill ur engine oil more than the recommended? i did a DIY oil change last week using the 5w/40 Castrol GTX on my 1995 civic.it was a little over the maximum mark. my problem started when my engine light begun flashing while im driving, then it went steady on. i could hear a lashing noise from the engine, then the engine died. i thought the fan belt snapped or the aux fan but under the bonnet, everything was intact.
i rested the engine for a bit and came alive again, but still the engine warning light was on. is there too much pressure in the engine?how will i know the oil pump is broken?
any bit of help would be appreciated
tnx!

On my way to work - as I was braking, my car started to vibrate, but it stopped as soon as I hit the gas, and I made it to work fine. When I took my lunch everything was fine until my way back and then the "service engine soon" light started flashing and everytime I slowed down I could feel the engine shimmy like it had done once earlier this morning. What's the deal?

Hi, it's about my Honda Civic DX Hatchback. ('95)
Recently, I've noticed that my coolant liquid keeps being low.
I keep filling it up, but still the same.
There is no leakage that I can find, and I do maintenance on the car quite often.
What else can be the problem of the car?

when braking I sometimes hear a sort of clunk from the back of the car. This noise happens, sometimes when applying the footbrake but sometimes when releasing the footbrake. Please help as I am at a loss as to what is causing it. Thank you.

I have to keep putting water in my car about every week, but it was looked at and there are no leaks. The heater blows cold air and the temp rises until I put more water. Now my check engine light has come on. Any ideas on the cause? I'm a single mom and I can't afford to take it to a mechanic right now.

I know it sounds crazy, but It smells like an empty coffee pot was left on. Once its been running for a while you can smell it inside the car and by the exhaust pipe. I took it to the dealer and it tested ok. Everyone that rides in it can smell it so I know im not nuts

Why is my car such a piece of junk? I got a 95 ford tauras from my dad last november. It was in great shape, never had any problems............. until i got it! One month into driving it, my transmission went down, the guy i took it to, said there was a recall, but according to the company, there was no such thing. Then a yr later after i finally got it fixed(due to money problems) we put in a 93 transmission with the same engine. But afterwards everything else went downhill. My radiator, then my starter, and now my oxegyn sensor. Its one thing after another, I love my car, and everyone says i should just get a new one because these cars are said to be junk anyway. Has anyone else had problems like this? Is it just me, or is it really the car?

I have nissan altima 2003, the service engine soon light had come on so I took it to the dealership. They told me that I had a bad radiator and that my car was overheating. My question is my car has never overheated according to the gauge and I have never seen any physical evidence (steam) to show that it has been overheating...do you think that I am being lied to?

My car is leaking oil real bad and I see it'd not the oil pan but the thing in front of it as you look at it from the front of the car. That's leaking oil real bad.
