Sway Solution For My RV

November 30th, 2008 by admin

I have finally found a solution for my sway control problem with my RV. There is a company that makes a special hitch that makes it so that there is hardly any sway when you tow things like RVs and trailers. I have ordered one and now I am just waiting for it to come and for us to go on a trip so I can test it out to see if it really works. We really are looking forward to having an easier time driving the next time we go on vacation, which is actually coming up quite soon.

Technically Resetting Air-Bag Module

November 29th, 2008 by admin

Unfortunately, some mechanics still use the old method of determining whehter the module can be reset or not.  Basically, they install new airbags.  After the airbags are  installed if the airbag sensor lights do not go off then the mecahnic assumes that the module can’t be reset and that a new module must be installed.

But there are some mechanics that know to check Module Repair Database usually before the air bags are reaplaced.  This processs usually takes a week for the module to be re-programmed.  That can be a small inconvienance but I think the customer will appreciate his mechanic saving him money. It also help’s the mechanic’s reputation with his customers.

November 18th, 2008 by admin

I was after a new Ford ST-3 recently and visited all the local Ford dealers. I even went to a car supermarket but to be honest I was disappointed with the choice on offer. The cars I saw all looked quite expensive and I didn’t want to compromise by settling for a bog standard ST. I began to wonder if I was ever going to find the car I was looking for. Luckily I went online and found the exact car at Ford Deals Direct. I saved a bundle on the list price which will help towards the cost of my insurance

Dent Repair - How to do it yourself!

November 11th, 2008 by admin

One of the worst things that can happen when you own a brand new car is that someone puts a dent in it – that is everyone’s worst nightmare and it is absolutely one of those things that can ruin someone’s day.  Well, here is a small guide for do-it-yourself dent repair!  First and foremost, dent repair is not an easy task, so you will need many different tools and will need to purchase a dent pulling kit or dent pulling tool, along with a dolly, which is a specially designed tool made for flattening and reshaping metal. 

Your first step will be to locate the center of the dent and drill a hole with a 1/8” drill bit, next you want to thread the dent pulling tool into the hole and pull on it to flatten the dent.  Next, you want to hammer the front of the dent while holding the dolly firmly in place against the back of the dent – you may have to go under the car.  The next step is you will want to grind the paint down to the bare metal and allow the body filler to dry out completely before you sand the dent.  Next comes the spray primer, about six coats of that will cover the care and then after that dries you can paint! 

If you are looking for a more in depth step-by-step guide it is definitely necessary for you to search online for ‘dent repair’.

Motoring with family and friends

November 9th, 2008 by admin

There are three of us that meet each summer and do a tour together.   My brother and his wife and another couple will drive our motorhomes and recreational vehicles to a centrally located spot where we hook up for a tour.  We can enjoy the privacy of our own wheeled homes and yet spend as much time together as we want as we drive from place to place.  Each year we have toured somewhere different and one of the highlights of the tour is planning where we want to go the next year.  None of us do this full time and all of us enjoy the time that we do do it.

Suzuki is an interesting company

October 23rd, 2008 by admin

Suzuki is an interesting company I recently looked them up on Wikipedia and they are described as being a company which specialise in manufacturing small engines for all kinds of vehicles. These include boats, small cars and even wheel chairs. The thing is when I think of Suzuki I only think of motorbikes and those funny looking 4×4.   The Wikipedia article does not mention how Suzuki profits are spilt between their different products but I would be prepared to bet that 80% is on motor bikes. Some further reading on the net does however reveal that you can buy cheap Suzuki cars which look quiet good.

Jeep Must Adapt

October 23rd, 2008 by admin

The Jeep began life as a military vehicle used by the United States army in the second world war but now its more of a boy toy or a fashion accessory but are Jeeps still the 4×4 standard bearer? Well in terms of looking cool there really is nothing quiet like a Jeep with its distinctive front grill. In terms of reliability and luxury though I feel that the Jeep is starting to fall behind the likes of Range Rover and Mitsubishi. Its my opinion that for Jeep to maintain its good name it must adapt to the challenges presented by its European and Asian competitors.

How much you can save with the electric car

October 22nd, 2008 by admin

 

The electric car affords motorists lots of savings. First they will not have any gasoline burden. The vehicle will simply run on batteries which will only need to recharge. They will not have to worry about how much the fuel will cost. They will just drive on and n with their batteries.

The electric car conversion also has fewer parts. It will therefore take less money to maintain it. Again, you have few components so the cost of repairs will come down. It has been estimated that you will need about a fraction of a cent to drive a mile in your electric car.
