Geez! Is your blog THAT bad that you need to employ a shot of a sexy Asian chick to sell it - like the ricer magazines?

I nearly let my fuel tank run empty, and noticed a lot of water vapour was coming out of the exhaust. So I intend to let it run to nearly empty again, add some petrol and also something else to mop up the water. Is this wise, and what should the "somethng else" be? I'm a chemist and can get all...

Is there any way to manually shift this van? Its not worth putting in another tranny (this is the second one), but the engine is still strong (3.3l). I hate to sell it for parts. I can get it to shift into 3rd if I turn it off and on after it gets up to about 45 mph. (This gets old quick...

My battery light comes on every now & then. My battery is almost 2 years old & I drive about 50 miles a week. Any reason for this??? Thanks!

VW May Not Sell Next Year’s Diesel Models in the US http://www.wired.com/2015/10/vw-may-not-sell-next-years-diesel-models-us/ This just HAS to be a conspiracy against diesels, there could be no other possible explanation, at least that's what so many of the the mouth-breathing, knuckle-dragging...

My 93 Camry polishes pretty well but never gets show-room shine. So I guess I need a ...... cutting compound ??? I'd appreciate any advice thanks, John

I have a 89 Nissan truck, and was told I have a "lazy" thermostat. So I took the old one out (the spring side was pointing into the engine), put the new one in and started up. I had the top of the rad open to add more coolant, and noticed coolant running across the opening. My first thought was...

I come home, click the car alarm "on". Next morning the car alarm is "off". My wife berates me. Am I only thinking I've alarmed the car, or can they switch off? Thanks John btw - the company who made the alarm has gone belly up. And I did lose the chirp a year or two ago.

Is possible to put a heater in a seat? I have lovely custom leather seats in a Camry, so I don't want to replace the seat, but just put a heater in it. thanks John

A friend went over a pothole in her Smart Car and the passenger airbag deployed. The dealer told them that air bags are not covered in the warranty. I appreciate that, if you have a crash, sorting out the air bag is your responsibility, but going over a pothole??

The new Fiat 500 seems neat. Not something that would fit my needs, but cool nonetheless. Interestingly though, they've not been on the market for very long and yet I see used ones everywhere, most under 10K miles. One local Dodge dealer is advertising 17 used 500s in the paper, and a few pages...

I have a 98 M3 and have just shelled out $850 for four Michelin Sport AS tires. Front and rear size is different so I understand they cannot be rotated. However, the tire installer, Costco, has offered to rotate left with right on each axle for a small fee; yes I know the tires are directional, so...

This has me perplexed. One of my relatively low milage (3000 mi) tires loses air pressure intermittently - every 5 months or so I will go out and the tire will be almost flat - over a short time period ( i.e. a day) it loses pressure to the point it is flat. I'll pump it up and it will be...

Does the Ontario Drive Clean put unreasonable stress on the vehicle's transmission? For the second time, one of our cars has blown a transmission during or immediately after the test. The first was our 4WD AeroStar back in the first year of the program was in place. They had the van on the test...

when i use my air conditioning theres are times, frequently enough to get worried this could be a bigger problem at a later date if ignored!, when the car feels jerky; as if im tapping the gas pedal and also the air conditionings output will feel sputterry, like its stuttering. both problems...
