Scooter won't start I wouldn't have expected the manual to have diagnosis instructions, but I would expect it to have a parts list and locations for each? If not, I googled your scooter type and found PDF manuals for engine and electrics, so the information is freely available. |

Airbag warning light Mike - I am not talking about taking a warranty to the dealer. I am taking about the warranty they give you on the pays they fit. The other content of your comment is exactly what I said in my answer. |

Bumpy ride after brake, strut replacement? Are you seriously lumping all mechanics in with some who are rude? That's like saying there are no honest lawyers, politicians, or in fact any industry at all. There are some amazing mechanics, some who go the extra mile for no extra reward. Some of whom may be on this site giving free advice and guidance. I know my mechanic has sorted out various things for me that he should have charged for. Simple reason for the edit - it added nothing to the question at all, and in fact could lead to you getting downvotes. |

Have a 2013 chevy cruz have a funny sound when applying the brakes. The drums, pads and shoes among other things were replaced Please any thoughts? Please describe the noise. 'Funny' doesn't tell us anything. If it is a squeal or a grind then we have a range of questions which cover this off so use the search function first. |

Shutting off fans at highway speeds Yeah - the power requirement for AC is almost all the compressor. The fans on these things are low power as they don't need to move air fast, just keep it moving. |

When I remove a spark plug is it bad news if dirt or grime falls into the engine Had to Google Shop vac as I had only ever heard of it in the context of a Jonathan Coulton song. Yes, vacuuming can work well. |

Switching from Reverse to Drive - always stop completely? This is only true for some cars, generally newer ones. This can damage many older cars. |

Trunk lid release It sounds like he is getting the solenoid to pop but not when the trunk is almost closed, which would make me think more about worn wiring... |

How reliable is a second-hand Subaru 2.5 RS 04-05? Think I got to 150k in my first, 120k in my second and am on 80 in my third. Each change has been to get a faster one, not because of mechanicals :-) |

What are the benefits of premium (high octane) petrol? Hi cinelli - while correct, this doesn't really add anything to the answers already given. |
