hi i posted a question last night aswell,
my car felt funny. especially from right hand side, also i had to apply more pressure to brakes etc. I have since remembered there was symbol coming up on my car. It is a fan with six blades, i have checked in book and its the water resoviour. I have since topped the washer etc. Car still feels funny, how long till it will get back to normal? i have drove round the block 2 times. Also in the washer i noticed some brown kind of mixture, its not alot but still there. Sorry to get on your nerves people..
Just im a girl of 21 and the only driver in the house, so everyone relies on me. My car is vauxhall astra 1.6 LS 2001 X registration and its petrol.
Many thanks for your time and patience.

Love mary xx

Apparently they used to be made out of asbestos, back in the old days, before they knew that it gave you cancer and loads of mechanics got ill.

What are they made out of now? And no, I'm not talking about brake DISCS, I'm not that stupid. I know they're made out of metal.

My neightbor gave me one of his old car's, that he hadn't driven in about 3-4months, its a toyota camry 1990, has a little over 140,000 miles on it, and its kinda rusty, its going to need more brake work then i thought, they hiss and leak brake fluid, and for my first car, its perfect, no need to worry about putting the best gas, or having the best insurense, but what i dont know is, if its worth it, hes giving it to me for free, so im not going to complain, but does anyone have any tips for the rust, without making it pricy, and what do you think about the deal, is it worth it, it looks pretty shitty on the outside, but the inside's perfect, so please any advice, or opinons keep um coming, i dont know what to do, the break work is going to cost me a couple hundred but i figured i got it for free, so if i pay a little to fix it up what the hell

I know what your thinkin."Don't be cheap,just have the old rotors turned it dont cost much".Yes i kinow this.Anyway does it really hurt anything to put new pads over the old rotors even if the rotors havent been turned.The rotors do NOT have any large grooves in them.They are still smooth.I just dont want to have to get back into tearing this truck down again because taking the old rotors off an 87 GMC v-1500 4x4 takes a special socket i do not have and i dont want to have to put new bearing seals in it too.Plus i dont have that much time.Just let me know what you think about using the old rotors without turing them and just using new brake pads.Thanks.

What would cause that? The vehicle is 4 years old. One of my other cars did this too, but it was a lot older, had a lot of miles on it. This one has about 46,000 miles. Thanks! Also, when you apply breaks there is often times a light squeeling noise now.

The roads here are appalling and through no fault of my own I have had to replace a tyre due to the casing being damaged driving along the road to hell. Has anyone written to their Councils and got a refund for tyres that have damaged and needed replacement?

I have a 99 Ford Contour that started clicking/ ticking today. We have already checked the oil, and that didn't solve the problem! It only does it when the car is idling, not as much when the gas is pushed. Thanks!!!!!!

I have a VW Passat station wagon. We replaced both front and back brakes last November. Last month a terrible grinding in the back sent me running to the dealer's service dept. and they said that our front brakes had 10% usage, but the back had lost 90%. Is that possible?? Could it be that the dealership didn't replace the brakes last year like they said?

I bought an old 1981 Winnebago Itasco 29 ft. motorhome. It has 55K on a Chevy 454 engine and runs good. I drove it 130 mile to bring it home. I'm a novice RV'er but have done considerable remodeling work to my home. Even though it runs good the interior looks it's 25 years. I'm a bit sceptical to start ripping things out and rebuilding it like a house since I know all the vents, electric, and gas lines run through some of the things I might be thinking of ripping out. When I search motorhome remodeling I spend hours pulling up we'll remodle it for you sites and unrelated pay to advertise sites dealing with motor homes. I'm just looking for, how to do it yourself,sites.

I've got big (some 5 inches across, by 2 inches) rust holes in the bottom of my rocker pannels on my little chevy sprint, they're right into the interior!
Is it okay to use rust converter, then patch the holes with that expanding foam from the inside, then spray with rubber sealer and rust paint on the exterior?
I'm afraid it'll cost tonnes to get the pannels replaced...I need some advice please!
