My car wouldn't even struggle to start when I turned the key. I opened the hood, and on the battery there's a cap with a red + sign on it. I pressed that tighter and it clicked. Then, my car started fine. Now.. did I permanently fix the problem? Or did I just get lucky and was the "clicking in" of that part unrelated to the car starting? Please explain what's going on!

The whole of my (S reg) Ka's blower system works except it wont pump out hot air, only cold air comes out, no matter how long I leave it on. My left indicator sometimes goes quicker than it's supposed to if this has any relevance. I thought it may be the thermostat but maybe it could be electrical. I'm not sure, help, it's freezing!

I have a 2000 W reg, 1600, Vauxhall Astra Club with a red warning light on the dash.
The light has a symbol of a stick person sat in a seat, with a seatbelt on, with a circle near to the head of the figure. This light is in the bottom left corner of the dashboard. I'm assuming this is an airbag warning light.
Any ideas on what this is & how to fix it?
Also, does anyone know where I can get an owners user manual for this car (not a Haynes manual)

I'm having a hard time making right turns. The power steering fluid is full. The dust boots on the lower ball joints on both sides is cracked. Should I attempt to replace the ball joints myself or just take it to the shop? What would be the average price for all four ball joints to be replaced? Thanks!

I live in Thailand and have a 250 cc Honda Phamtom . I am having problems in keeping enough charge in my batteries.
I have been to many Honda dealers and all they want to do is to sell me something but are not interested in fixing the problem.
I have fitted an extra battery but this is only recieving a trickle feed from the alternator and when I use the lights of a night and stop the bike it will not restart from the electric start.
The alternator is charging between 12 and 15 amps and the voltmetre is showing between 12 and 14 volts.
Can anyone come up with a solution to this problem

I always thought that if the handbrake was up and the e-brake light was turned on on the dashboard, then the e-brakes were in affect. However, my friend told me that I was wrong and that if you push the button on the handbrake while pulling up, the handbrake will not take in effect and that I would have to pull the handbrake up without pushing the button to make the clicking noise. Personally, I pull up without pressing the button, but I thought as long as the lever was up, the indicator light was on, then the brakes were being used. Please set me straight. Thanks.

I wrote before about my car. It's a 99' oldsmobile intrigue. 3.8 motor. Broke down on the road. Someone screwed up the oil change and all of the oil leaked out, the car ran hot, water boiled out, and the car's system shut itself down. Put oil and water in. Car made it home but wouldn't start the next morning. We did crank it a lot when it stopped, trying to get it to start again, after it cooled down. The starter tore up, we put a new one in it. It cranks over but won't start. It's not out of gas. The battery gets a spark. The head doesn't appear to be craked, because there is no water in the oil. Does anyone know what else could be wrong with it. Thanks.

I have replace parts with a mechanics help that we think may be the problem to no avail, it starts but stalls but wil stay running if I keep pumping the pedel but roughly, I even took the air breather off and sprayed gas with a spray bottle in the intake and it runs great, the only thing I can think of that I have not changed would be the map sensor, or o2 sensor, it is pumping gas and seems to do ok, tomorrow I hope to check the pressure of the fuel pump if my mechanic friend brings the pressure checker, any ideas? Please help, Im disabled and so is my income, lol!
Thanks
