Maintenance & Repairs - July 2007

It doesn't matter what speed I'm going or what gear I'm in. about 1100 RPMs and then I think it does it again around 2700 RPMs. A friend of mine told me this is the throw out bearing. It's gotten worse over a long period of time, 8 months and 16,000 miles.

I have been told that it could be shocks or swinging arm bushes but 2 garages cant say which method will cure the problem. It's a case of try one and if that don't work try the other.

About 3 weeks ago the battery light in my 92 Renault Clio came on and stayed on. I pulled over and sure enough my alternator belt had gone. So I got this changed and everything has been fine for about a week.

Now the light is coming back on again but not all the time. As a general rule, as I pick up speed the brighter and longer the light stays on. The belt doesn't appear to be slipping or at least I can't hear anything and it seems to be moving OK.

So has my alternator gone now and if so why is not showing a full light all the time?

Hi, my sister has been having some trouble with her car. It's a 1995, 3.3l V6 (Straight fuel, not flex), automatic. When the car drives through a puddle (deep or shallow), about 1 minute later the headlights will start to dim, then shut off. Then the car will jerk a couple of times, and shut off, which in turn locks the steering (Power steering), and the brakes (ABS). Anybody know what the problem might be? Also, a mechanic told us that it was a rain shield inside the wheel well, but we replaced that, and it still messes up.

i had my car on neutral and press the gas all the way down and then shifted to drive. and the car sounded like something got stuck and it would not move after that. When i changed gears and pressed the gas the engine would sound but the car would not move and when i put it in park the car made this wierd crackling noise. I have a 97 ford explorer.
I was being an idiot trying to do a burnout....
can someone please let me know what is wrong with the car and about how much it will cost to fix??? please and thank you

I have a '75 Ford F-150 that I've been fixing up. Whenever I start it, it will start just fine, it's just that I have to engage the starter for a couple of seconds. It's not enough to fry the starter anything, maybe 5 or 6 seconds before it turns over. I was wondering if this might just not be a good output from my battery, or if there was something else you'd suggest. Once it turns over, it's not hesitant about it, and it will run good. It's just the delay in turning over.

Its a 1994 Pontiac Sunbird V6 3.1L. I just had the oil pressure sender replaced but that didnt help. The engine gets hot quick, and the oil pressure gets low. Should I replace the oil pump or just have a rebuilt engine installed? I am willing to spend the money if it is worth it!

O'Reilly's Auto Parts sold me a water pump for my Nova that was the wrong one and had the wrong gasket with it to boot.

There have been others before that.
