I am an over-the-road truck driver who drives a 2001 Freightliner semi-truck. I am going through a gallon of antifreeze a day. It's not in the fuel, in the oil, or on the ground. It seems to be worse if I'm driving in hills. Where could it be going, and will this be really expensive to fix?

I am looking to get new tires on my car today and have P185/70R14 on my car right now. Do I have to buy tires with this exact size for the rims I have on my car? Or, is there some play with some of the numbers? I know the 14 indicates 14inch rims but don't understand the rest of it.

If you've used one, do they make much difference regarding engine sound (I know they only add 1 to 4 hp)?

I want a bit more meaty engine note, without a drainpipe exhaust. NA engine.

I have a vauxhall astra 1999 model and the wiper blades keep on sticking on low speeds, If i set them to go every few secons the blades will move up then get stuck either on the way up or they way down, the same is said for when you just want to clear the scrren once.

So far I have bought new blades, and cleaned the screen with vinigar.

Any ideas whats wrong and how to fix it?

Thanks

The rear view mirror seams to be extremely hard to take off of the windshield mount. I am not talking about the part that is glued to the windshield. This is a GM type mirror that seams to be a very heavy duty spring making it stuck to the windshield mount.

The problem did not begin until after I installed the system. But the installation was well done. The car would stop at stop lights or when i slow down and the RPMs drop. It is a 1000 watt amp and 1200 watt subwoofer. I removed them from the first car i have and had no problems with that one. But now I do with this one.

In 4-5 hours the back end is completely down. I spent hours looking for it by spraying a solution I got from a mechanic all over the hoses and the remainder of the mechanism and couldn't find anything. I even took the pump off, and had a good look at air suspension cusions - both looked fine. Any ideas? Thanks

In January, I bought a used car. It was certified by the dealership, in excellent condition, and I do love it. But...it seems to be having some problems. I had the actuator for the locks replaced cuz it locked me in the car once. I had to get the convertible top repaired after it stopped working after a minor fender bender that shouldn't have done anything to the top. I had problems with the car computer after it kept telling me that lights were out. Then, the window stopped working.... I'm wondering if I bought a jinxed car.

I may have an opportunity to replace it, but it will put me a bit further in debt than I want to be. It would be an upgrade for me - one year newer. I absolutely LOVE the newer car, but wonder if I'm being rediculous.

Do I ditch my current car and go for it? I am worried that maybe all these little problems with it will eventually cost me more in the long run than the up-front investment I'd be making with the new one.
