Maintenance & Repairs - December 2007

Just looking for an "in the ballpark" answer here on the high and low end. I have a 97 Taurus with 160k on it and it is leaking antifreeze. What is a reasonable estimate on my cost. I realize it could be a hose, or it could be the radiator...but have no clue on the cost to repair that. Thanks!!!

i was driving home tonight and my car lights started getting dimmer and dimmer and i started losing power
the only way my car was on was because of the alternator running when i would put in the clutch and the rpm would drop it would almost die

its obviously a short draining my battery.
i looked and my belt on the alternator was still good and if it was the alternator i probably wouldnt have been able to get home.
so my question is.

how can i find out where the short is
i really need help

It has been such a good machine, and to replace it would not be an option. Any help would be really appreciated, but only serious answers please. Thanks

I recently bought a 91 Lumina and while driving to family's house a spark plug blew out. I tried to clean out the threads and put a new plug in but it blew out, so i installed a helicoil in and followed the instructions perfectly. would you expect this to last a long while? Only asking because i got a long drive through the mountains coming up, and i know that will sure test if it will blow out the helicoil or not.

I have a 2007 Chrysler 300 touring. I have on 20k miles on the car. I was wondering if. Is the bubble covered under the warranty of the tires. They are Goodyear integrity 215/65 r17. They came with the car. Any help would be great. I did not hit anything at all, not even one of those Michigan potholes.


Thanks

The cigarette lighter, which I mainly use to charge my ipod and cellphone, just stopped working. I don't use the car often, but this is annoying. I have no idea what to do about this problem, so, perhaps, if someone has ever come across this or knows what to do, maybe someone can steer me in the right direction.

Hello. My boyfriend hit the ditch on the way to work this morning. He ran into some trees, and one that was a pretty good size. He put our 2005 F-150 4x4 into 4Low, and after he got pulled out, he discovered that it is now stuck in 4Low. Does anyone know why, and more importantly how to get it out? He is at work and I am despirately trying to find out so our Christmas plans won't be ruined. Thank -you so much. Merry Christmas.
