I have a short water pump on my 396BB which means my altinator is on the drivers side. the problem with that is I also have powersteering and there is not enought room on the drivers side to have both. Do I need to get a long water pump so that the alt. will be on the pass. side? Is there another reason why they made the different water pumps or what.

Please don't tell me to get a new car because that is not an option for me right now. I have to keep this one cobbled together. I have a 93 sunbird and the radiator leaks and steams and gets hot after driving only briefly...can you tell me how much the repairs or replacement are likely to cost?

I have a few scratches on my new car that I got this morning. Two of them are about 2 inches long on my passenger side door and there are a bunch on the rim of my tire on that same side.

I work at a car dealership and the manager I talked to said that the starting price is around $65 depending on how much damage there is. Does that sound about right or is that too steep?

My camaro isn't necessarily overheating but it's running a lot hotter than it used to, and I don't know what else to do. I've replaced the water pump, had the cooling system flushed, had my radiator rodded out, replaced the radiator cap, put in a new thermostat (OEM 195), new upper and lower hoses and a new heat sending unit. The fans come on when they're supposed to as well. What else could it be, any ideas?

What would cause my 1999 Saturn SC1 to overheat, the power steering to fail, the air conditioner to stop working (fan works just no cold air), and the battery light to come on all simultaneously ??

My Rover 216 sli 1996 windscreen wiper when switched to "intermittent" only goes halfway across windscreen and stops, therefore I have to put it on "normal" for a full sweep, tried looking for a relay through the manual ( I bought from halfords) well known, but can't locate it on the wiring diagram, physically checked, to no avail, can someone put me on to where the problem lies? all help would be sincerely appreciated.

On one of the trailers we have the rubber hub cap plug is melting and the hub cap itself seem to be expanding. We checked the wheel bearing and everything is fine. Does anyone know what causes this and how can I solve this problem?

A week ago we put the car in the shop because it was apparent that you could hear the transmission shifting. It wasn't a big deal, but we took it in anyway. 3 days later they say they can't find anything wrong with it.. but then the garage guy wanted to take it home and check it out over night. He did that and the next day he said it needs a transmission overhaul. $2.8k So for a few days nothing is wrong w/it and then they decide that it needs an overhaul... kind of odd right?

It wasn't detrimental to have it done yet, and even now the car sounds the same! It has a noticeable shift. Did they rip us off? Should we call and complain?

The new tire has about 2-3 mm more tread depth than the other rear tire. I've been told that since the tire is in the rear, it shouldn't cause any problems. What I am wondering is, since there is a 2-3 mm difference, could this cause an alignment problem for me in the future when I rotate my tires again about 7,000 miles from now? Thanks for your help.
