Maintenance & Repairs - November 2007

2005 Honda civic with 46000 miles on it and the original tires (bridgestone 15") which are worn but not down to the treadwear bars. It has always made sort of a very low growling sound. You can shut the engine off and it will still make the noise. I have noticed it getting considerably louder recently. I am pretty sure its not a wheel bearing since turns make no difference.

If I apply the brakes it sligthly dampens the sound but otherwise the noise is completely dependent upon vehicle speed. Also it has a manual transmission FWD with all of the scheduled maintenance done on it.

So lets hear it......pinion bearing or something similar, or just plain old tires?

Thanks

When you enter the car and turn the key everything is fine, but when you turn the radio on and put your driver's side seat belt on the back right speaker shuts off. I have taken it to get a diagnostic done on the electrical system to see if there is a short, but no mechanic has been able to find out what it is. Also, the battery keeps getting drain, but when you meter the altenater the out put is 14.2, which is right where it should be. Does anyone have any ideas?

I have a 95 Toyota Tacoma, 2.7 L, 4 cylinder, 4wd. Two weeks ago it did not start. The shop replaced the distrubor cap, coil, rotator, plugs(twice), plug wires and tried changing out the oxygen sensors. It now starts but it does not accelorate properly (this was not a problem before) but it is not consistant when it happens. It think it is mis-firing usually getting onto the freeway and at high speeds. It jerks really hard. The second shop told me it was the distributor cap. So we checked to make sure there weren't any cracks. It looks good. I have already spent a fortune on labor and the shops can't find anything wrong. Any suggestions.

Had a blowout on the interstate. Fortunately, I have a full-size spare.

Went to the dealer today to see about getting the one that blew replaced, and he said because of tread wear and the fact that I have all-wheel drive, we might have to replace ALL of them.

I paid $2,000 to replace all the tires and get that full-size spare a year and a half ago.

I am 17 Years old and I was given a 1989 cavalier z24 2 door. The only thing wrong with the car is the seatbelts and some water leakage. The car sat for a while but still runs great so I plan to keep it on the onther hand the seatbelts don't work at all they are covered in rust and mold and nobody will even touch them.

I eaither need to get them replaced or replace them myself but I cant figure out where to get it done.
I live in Kansas City Missouri by Grandview 64134 zip

Does anybody have any idea how much I should expect to spend or where to even go???

...straight over the top of the existing coat of paint? That is, without any sanding back.

I recently resprayed a few sections of the car after filling in some dents and I am unhappy about the finish because the resprayed paint does not perfectly match the existing paint. I want to sell the car soon but this will be a major set back.

Therefore, I was hoping it would be possible, and someone would be willing to drive it into a paint booth, respray it, then drive it back out and bob's your uncle.

Any chance of this being possible?

Thanks

I recently had a fire in the engine compartment in my 1982 El Camino Conquista, and it basically destroyed that whole area. Is it even possible to replace all the electrical in that area and replace the engine for a reasonable price?

Would it have a turbine, piston, or Wankel engine? Would it have an F1 type transmission or some variety of CVT? Would it have a full body or be open wheel?

yellowish liquid leaking at a very fast rate. before the leaking was noticed, there was white smoke coming from the rear also. parked the car waited, then added more antifreeze and oil but when I started car again the antifreeze was shooting out of the tailpipe and from the fat part of the muffler. The engine is also knocking.
