Maintenance & Repairs - March 2007

I have a set of 20" wheels and hit something in the road and cracked one. Is it possible to get the wheel repaired, if so any idea of the cost. I have had several people tell me it can be welded up, but I need to know what type of metal it is. Any info will be greatly appreciated.

I have 4 tires that are 33x12.5 mounted on rims that are 16x10 and a spare tire that is 33x12.5 mounted on a 16x8 rim. If I mount this spare will it screw anything up as I drive? Since its 2 inces small in width.

I need "motor" mounts for my 1993 Beretta. I dont know much about it, but i think there is one for the engine, one for the tranny, and one that mounts on somewhere else around there. Does anyone know anything more about this AND where I can find these online?

I own a 2001 Oldsmobile Siloutte, we just had the lifters repaired, and now the transmission whines.. it changes out rough, and slips. When it whines, if I park for a few minutes then restart the engine it quits for awhile.The mechanic broke my cruise control when he worked on my van, but insists it has no bearing on the new problem. All the filters and fluid are clean.... any idea what may be going on?

I just bought a 1997 pontiac grand prix se 2 days ago and everything was ok with it. the guy who sold it to me said that you have to disconnect the battery because the cd player drains it. he just put a new battery in it 2 days before i bought it and showed me the reciept for it. well today i drove it for the first time, got plates insurance, everything done on it, spent every dollar i had , and i also had to move out of my house today, so while i was moving the car just stopped, lights were on, radio worked, everything but it wouldnt even turn over. so i got a jump it started right up ran for about 5 min then died, did this about 5 more times did the same thing over and over. so finally we left the cables from my car to the other for about 20 min and just let it charge and then it stayed started but the lights would dim and stuff but i got it home. my friend thinks its the altinater, does this sound right? i will have to pawn stuff for the $$ for the part so i want to be sure.....:(

aftermarket type? It may take several stops to warm up the brake pads enough to stop the squeeling. And this is in Southern Calif. which is a very temporate climate. I estimate that I have at least another 35,000 miles of braking before these pads will be worn out and need changing.

Why is that when I slow down or come to a sudden halt, my left tyre often makes a 'screeching' sound? This doesn't happen all the time but when it does, it can be annoying.

I have a 98 Sable with the standard V6 and encountered a problem today. When I started the car, it started rough for the first time in its 98K miles. When I pulled out, the car was very rough, shakey and what not. I thought it might be a plug or something that was fouled by the rough start. However, while I was driving home at highway speed I noticed that when I took my foot off the gas the car did not slow down (almost as if the cruise control was on) and sometimes sped up. When I got back to side roads, and would press the accelerator there would be a hesitation (a deep pause) and then a quick jump. Any ideas?

Whenever I'm driving, it seems all the other drivers should easily get a speeding ticket and are driving much faster than me, even though I am already 10 mph over the speed limit. This couldn't possibly happen everywhere I go and noone gets caught by the cops, so I think it might be a problem with the speedometer. How much would this type of repair cost? would it be worth to fix it? Otherwise my car is still running great at 145k. I plan to drive it to at least 200k. Thanks in advance.

Today after completing a right hand turn and turning my blinker to the off position, the sound continued in a much more rapid succession. It continued this for several minutes, slowed down, stopped for a few seconds, and then picked up again.

I got out of my car while it was doing this and saw that my lights were not themselves blinking. When I turn on my blinkers, the signal on the dash shows that it is working correctly, and it makes the regular sound. However, immediatly after I turn off the blinker, the craziness resumes.

How do I fix this?

The car is a Pontiac Grand Am 2004

I have a 2000 Dodge Intrepid, 2.7L base model that I bought with 106,000 miles on it. Its been well maintained from what I see. My question is: will it make a difference if I spend some extra $ on K&N filters that alot of people seem to swear by? I am *not* trying to turn my vehicle into a racecar, just want to squeeze out a little extra horsepower and better fuel economy out of it. Recommendations???
