    Ah, the bay window. One just like that, or a newer one like the Vanagon? Similar, but different.

    MPG on an older VW van like that in good tune, you can expect 20-25mpg, and that's pretty good...

    You don't need Quattro if all the driving you...

    You don't need Quattro if all the driving you ever do is on a dry track. For the rest of us who exist in the real world, Quattro is not needed most of the time, but when you need it, it may make the...

    Could be the fan motor has died itself, could be as simple as a fuse. Check that first, since $5 gets your fan going and gives you like four extra fuses for next time.

    As for cost on a new fan...
  5. Don't you believe it. That so-called "lifetime"...

    Don't you believe it. That so-called "lifetime" warranty is usually a very limited, narrow-scope coverage. Like on body rust-through.
  6. If your truck rides on alloys, the weights used...

    If your truck rides on alloys, the weights used to balance them are usually just stuck on. Sometimes the glue fails.

    Yeah, the sending unit is going toes-up. It's located inside the tank. You'll have to drop the tank and remove the access plate on its top to get to the unit.

    Here's a link to a direct bolt-in...

    Round ones!

    Seriously, you didn't specify what sub-model your Accord is. 14" wheels or 15"?

    Any good all-weather tire will suit you. You don't come across as a gearhead or fast driver, so you...

    I'm guessing exhaust leak. How old is your car? If it's more than five years old it's old enough to have a burn-through somewhere, or a clamp worked loose. It probably isn't dangerous but it isn't...

    Your language use suggests you're writing from the UK or somewhere else not in the States. I'd not be able to touch the legality question, you'd have to get on the Web and look up your local laws.

    It sounds like a pretty good deal pricewise. Be sure your BIL is showing you all his cards with that deal, sometimes to take one kind of price you have to give up certain financing privleges on the...

    No. I mean, you COULD, but you'd really be building a whole new car from the firewall forward...and a new tranny, so you'd need a new tranny tunnel, and of course the rearend is going to be all...

    What you need to do is
    1) remove the radiator cap
    2) pull out the old car
    3) roll a new car under the cap
    4) tighten the cap.

    Good luck!

    Seriously, it ought to work. Be certain you're...

    No, unless the accident is not mentioned in the dealer's description of the car, and it was a significant accident.

    I think you have a shot at getting him down to $9500 though.

    Check your ignition switch, check the starter relay. The door locks cycling is a little peculiar, if your car automatically locks the doors when the car's moving, that suggests there may be a...

    If you're serious about the "gas saver" bit, you need to stop thinking about SUVs.

    There are some exceptions. The Escape Hybrid gets good mileage for what it is. It's peppy enough to suit most...
  20. It's okay, not great. The most intriguing thing...

    It's okay, not great. The most intriguing thing about it is that it was a Pontiac and nothing else - usually you see Chevy this = Pontiac that = Oldsmobile something else.

    The frame was built,...

    Unfortunately, the impression persists that American cars are no good. Clearly, with vehicles like the CTS-V, the new Malibu and Fusion, any of a range of full-size vehicles, American cars are as...

    Yours is a much more in-depth project than can really be covered in YA. But a brief overview:

    Generally when adding a turbo, you want to lower the compression ratio a bit to prevent preignition,...

    I forget - did the 95 come stock with the 22R as its base engine? Is that what's in there?

    Whatever - I haven't heard of any head gasket issues on 4-bangers in the mid-90s 4Runners. V6, not so...

    That's a lot of extra expense for no added performance. Put the recommended grade of fuel into your engine and the ECM will deliver the most power it can from that. Going higher won't make any...

    Haynes manual. I use the Haynes manual for everything.

    If you really want to drop some big bucks on it, get the Ford factory service manual. It'll be huge and might need its own cart to move it...
