Q. I am looking for a practical SUV or crossover that will give me the third row I need for extra seating and storage but with easy access for young kids to get back there. I was thinking about bucket seats for a middle row option. Do you have any ideas of a vehicle that will give me what I need and is still in the mid-price range?
Q. My 2000 Oldsmobile Alero has recently been idling very high, sometimes as high as 3,000 rpm. This does not happen all the time, but when it does I notice that the temperature rises to the halfway mark on the gauge. Could you please tell me what could be causing this problem and what would remedy it?
Q. I am interested in purchasing a 1999 Lincoln Town Car but was turned off by the vinyl rooftop. My question is, is it possible to strip the roof of the vinyl and have it painted the same color as the car? If it is possible to do this where would I have to go to have this process done and how much would it cost me?
Q. What is the best, most economical car for an advertising sales representative who will be covering Boston and the North Shore?
Q. When I turn the key in my 1999 Honda Accord LX, nothing happens. My lights are bright so I don't think it's the battery. The solenoid is not clicking. How do I go about removing it? I can't get to it from underneath. Help!
Q. I have a 1997 Honda Civic with a five-speed transmission. At a red light or stopped in traffic with the clutch pedal all the way down, the clutch will begin to engage until the car stalls out. There are no problems for a while, then it does it again. I have checked the pedal cable free play and it seems adjusted properly. What would cause this? |
