    my ford ka's heater is blowing cold air?

    It would seem that hot water is not getting to the heater matrix or the air flaps are not moving to where they should to flow the incoming air over the matrix. Maybe in messing with the valve, and who knows why you would need a valve to do this you have disconnected or broken something.

    which first street bike is right for me?!?!?

    The 600cc sports bikes are great track day tools but awful on the road - far too focused. even worse at our height! Look at the non sports bike types. They will still go as fast as you will ever want to and will be a whole lot nicer to live with.

    My bike front or maybe rear tyre is really squeaky?

    Brake pads probably need deglazing or better yet fit new ones. Could also be that the pistons are not freely moving in the calipers and need a strip and clean.

    Why do consumer car manufacturers create 200km/h engines whereas speed limit limit...

    It is not universally applied in all countries. Speed limits vary from country to country and in Germany the Autobahns still have no speed restrictions at all. Case closed.

    hi there i bought a second hand ford focus?

    Most insurers insist that the policyholder is the registered keeper AND the owner. If you do what you suggest then the insurance would be completely null and void. I suspect in your case it already is as you are most likely the real main driver of YOUR car not an occasional named driver. Pulling...

    Honda CRV (diesel)can someone tell me the environmental temperatures.?

    Diesel fuel in the UK has additives to take it down to -12C in the UK. Any less than this and regardless of the fact that the vehicle could run at lower temperatures, the diesel will turn waxy and render it useless. Diesel 4x4s are not the best option in extreme cold.

    After a long motorbike ride in the rain. How do you get your motorbike clothes dry...

    Well you really can't. Most, particularly leather, need to be hung to dry naturally. A waterproof oversuit, I find, will get rid of most of the water with a good shake and dry quite quickly anyway.

    2 Q's: What "Mk" is my Ford Fiesta Flight 1.3 '02 Hatchback? And what wiper blades do i

    Measuring them is a great idea - being in the UK or Ireland and going to an Auto Zone in the US is a rubbish one though. Halfords have books on display by the new wipers that should tell you by year what you need

    Why won't the heaters on my car work?

    If the fan is not working it is an electrical fault wih the fan, fan control or fuse. If the fan works but the air does not come out of the vents then the flaps in the ducting are not working for one of many possible reasons.

    UK I wouldn't touch the HD with a barge pole - old tech agricultural load of overpriced rubbish. HD are on the verge of going bust. The Wing every time. In the UK a lot of us bikers do not even acknowledge HDs as real bikes - just for people who like to polish and mid life crisis men usually...

    My cousins wife just trader her 696 Monster in after 17000 miles in just over a year. Apart from its need for a new chain every 8000 miles she was so pleased with it she has bought another. You do still hear the odd horror story but I have heard similar stuff from a couple of mates who have BMWs...
