I have an old Toro Snow Pup snowblower that requires oil/gas mixture. It states that you should use SAE 30 oil, but I've been told two cycle engine oil is better. Is that correct?

When i drove to college today i noticed that its smelled of antifreeze...im not sure what that might mean but when i returned to go home from class my car (when stopped) would smoke or steam....my thermometer showed that it didnt over heat. the suggestion was made that i may be low on radiator fluid.


thanks to all who reply to this.

i have fitted the lighter myself, taking a live and earth from the radio. the lighter itself works but when things like sat nav and phone chargers are used, the 2A fuse in the actual sat nav charger blows. Any ideas why this happens and how to correct it? Cheers

I looked in my glove box to find the code for the transfer case. I was told it should be NP1 or NP8. Neither one shows. How can I find out? I'm trying to find out which encoder motor to buy. 5-pin or 7-pin.
Is this code anywhere else on the car? Thanks!!

I have a R reg 1.6LX. 80,000 on the clock. Had new wishbones last year. New exhast around 4 years ago. Seems to be a reliable car but when something goes wrong it is always a puzzle to find. Steering is funny but had two new tyres, tracking amended and steering rack/column has passed examination. Any ideas? Also the clutch is due to go any day and Cam belt has never been changed. Is it worth spending the money on or time to get rid?

I sure wish people would use the spell check that is available to users of Yahoo Answers....

Is it just me, or do other people skip questions that apear to be asked by absolute morons, or under educated people?

I have a 1994 Chevrolet K3500 1Ton Pick-Up, 6.5L Turbo Diesel. Of course it works in 2 wheel drive, and it seems to be working in 4X4 Low, but it doesn't work in 4X4 High. It's the type where you move the lever to change drives (NOT the pushbutton). I know you have to put it in neutral to change to 4X4, so that isn't the problem. When I put it into 4X4 low it makes this loud clunking sound and the shakes a bit. When I put it into 4X4 High, it does nothing at all. The lights don't light up on the 4X4 monitor at all (like they do in 4X4 Low). I'm not sure what the problem is, any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

I've been logging the details of my fuel consumption of two cars for six months. I've established values for average mpg, $/mile, and total $ spent. Should I continue? Is anybody else here logging these details on their cars?

I have a 99 Ford escort. For the past few weeks whenever the car is not in motion it seems to idle hard to where the car is shaking a little. If I am at a light too long and try to take off it almost hesitates and jerks into motion. I need to take it to the mechanic but I was just wondering if anyone might have some ideas as to what this could be? I was thinking it might be a problem with the cat converter or something? I am a female and just do not want to get screwed at the mechanics i would like to have some idea of what might be wrong.

I've got 120k and just replaced some suspension parts. The ride feels so much better, and I was wondering at what miles I should have replaced my suspension parts, and which parts, to keep my vehicle with the ride it had when I bought it.

Also, I did all the shocks about 20k miles ago, but that didn't do much for the firmness and comfort of the ride, as opposed to the control arm bracket did.

Any ideas?

I bought rims like this on E-Bay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/FORD-MUSTANG-BULLIT-17-INCH-WHEEL-ALLOY-RIM-8J-X-17-NR_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43957QQihZ012QQitemZ220080538948QQrdZ1QQsspagenameZWDVW

Does anyone reading this have rims like this on their mustang? Why are they so cheap?

I already paid for them and they have been shipped... so if they're no good I'm kind of stuck with them.
