My Honda Civic EX (dring mostly between 75m/h and 85m/h in dry conditions) badly needs a set of 4 new tires due to snow season just got here in Ottawa, Canada. I need them next week. After doing some research, I loved to have BFGoodrich T/A H, but they are out of stock online, so I can only pick...

Hi all, My Dad recently backed into a trailer and broke the tail light lens cover of his 1985 Mercury Grand Marquis. He recently got a citation that seems to be "fix it or get it off the road". I have not been able to find a replacement after trying the auto parts stores locally and on the...

I hope someone here will be able to give me a quick diagnosis. This is a 97 Nissan Sentra. If the headlights are on, the left brake light doesn't work. The tail lights, right brake, center brake, and turn signal lights all work all of the time, and if the headlights are off everything...

What are the requirements for having propane tanks inspected and certified? Should you attempt to clean them internally yourself or send them to a pro for cleaning as well as any needed hydro-test or sonic inspection?

00 MPV , v6 multiport. Air box intermittantly emits a loud humming noise, vacuum type of noise. Wondering if this is a common enough headache so as someone has seen it before & knows the solution.

I have a 2002 Focus ZX3 and plan to buy another. My only complaint is that it seems that components on the car wear out much too fast. I had to change the starter at 40,000 miles, the CD player broke at 30,000 etc... I had a 1995 Honda Civic EX before this car and never had problems like this but...

I have a 1998 Plymouth Breeze that has just picked up a squealing habit. When I reach about 20 MPH I can hear a low squeal coming from the right front wheel area. It's unlike the squeal from worn brakes and it doesn't get better or worse with braking. The only thing that seems to influence the...

I've got a 1987 Toyota van. One thing I discovered, when I had the water pump replaced, was that the thermostat wasn't in place. (Why the mechanics didn't put one in when they had the chance, I don't know.) Anyway, this leads me to wonder, did 1987 Toyota vans tend to overheat? Is that why the...

I'm considering purchasing tires and I have some questions regarding the speed ratings. When I choose tires on "Tire Rack" it warns that the minimal rating for tires on my 4 cyl accord are H rated (130 Mph). The T rated tires (118Mph) are significantly cheaper. Given that I am not a "boy racer"...

i'm driving a rental Aveo. The papers do not state a year, but by the low miles, it must be a 2006 The vehicle has manual doorlocks The driver's door is setup such, that one can't lock oneself out (without jumping through abnormal hoops). The lock button will only allow itself to be pushed...

I'm hoping to get some direction with the groups help. (Please)!!! I recently had to replace the head gasket and automatically replaced the timing belt and a new thermostat at the same time. For 8 weeks it has ran great. Last week the heater and defroster stopped producing any warmth. As of...

I have a 96 Sentra GXE with 120k miles on it. Recently, I have been having overheating problems. I have a suspicion that my problems derive from my radiator. My radiator has its tubes travel vertically from top to bottom. As I understand it, there should be a gradient of heat from the top of...

I have a 95 Nissan 240sx. There seems to be a pink oily substance by the coolant line leading out from the rad. It only leaks if i were to rev the engine.

Hey guys, I want to know if it is normal for a battery to have the positive post wet almost all the time , even when the car has not been running that day. I dont see any cracks on the battery so i don't know were it's coming from. Maybe from underneath the post? The car has no trouble starting...

Hi last week my ford tarus start injected fluid everywhere so I pulled over had it tow and so called repaired being told it was a $19.00 connection part that caused the problem. Later in the week my car wouldn't go over 20 mph without rev up to 4,000 rpm. I was then told by mechicanic to pay...
