Maintenance & Repairs - June 2007

I went to Auto Zone and they said there was nothing in their stock other than some Goo Be Gone (or something like that) and that stuff would also take the paint off.

I have had 2 new Firestone fuel savers tyres fitted on the rear, and have had problem with losing tyre pressure, I took my car back they put some fluid and found the leak from the rim where the wheel balance weight is fitted, both weights were removed and internal weights fitted, this seemed to solve the problem with no noticeable leakage, but three days later I am 7 pounds down in pressure on one and 3 down on the other.
They mentioned the bead is thick on this make of tyre, could this be a problem and maybe not a good compatible tyre for this car.

MY car is a 1997 BMW 323i 205/60/15 tyre size

my car had no oil in it, until my service last week..
its not driving smoothly, infact when i go on journey`s about 40 mins drives it gets hot from inside but doesnt overheat i watch the sensor. Speed is slower and for some reason it doesnt pick up speed properly. I also think it could be due to my alloys which i think are a bit big for my car and putting a strain on bearings as i was told by servicer. i dont know what too do as its really upsetting me im a girl off 22 and my car is a vauxhall astra 2001 x reg.

pls help me.

Took my truck into a mechanic to get it fixed about a month ago. He said the fluid was a little low and replaced it, they pressure checked and also said it didn't leak. After they put new fluid in it, the AC worked well for about 24 hours. Now it is blowing warm air again and still completely shuts off when I go over 60 mph. Any ideas on whats wrong?
Thanks in advance

I work at a dealership, and I am always getting calls and questions about how to do this, or what does this mean on my car?
All this information is listed in the owners manual and if you read it you wont have ask.

We were told the radiator was flushed before we bought it. Some antifreeze had spilled on the mats and I assumed that was the smell. When it didn't dissipate, a friend who is a mechanic suggested it was a heater core leak but when he did a pressure check could not find one. He suggested we clean the car and engine well, which we did. Now, it does not smell all the time or when the air conditioner is on but that smell comes back strong through the vents if the heater is turned on. Any ideas?

The low beams for my 2000 Mits Galant are too low. When driving you can barely see the light come out. Anyone know what the problem is? Could it be a fuse or something? Any info would be extremely helpful!

I need a new engine, but my mom keeps telling me that I should go ahead and get a tune-up anyway. I told her that I wouldn't pass emission inspection because I need a new engine, but she thinks a tune-up might help. Is she right? Please help.
