| engine life expectancy ^Jr^ 02:07:00 |
| | Hello.
I'm looking to buy an 89 Firebird Formula from someone I know. It has
140,000 miles on it. Presuming it's been well maintained from day one, how
many miles can I expect that engine to live through before it dies.
TIA!!!
^JR^

| I need plans for horse drawn vehicles Guest 03:36:46 |
| | I need plans for horse drawn vehicles.
I am serious about this. With gas being in the $2.50 to $3.00 a
gallon range, and likely to get much higher, I am looking for ways to
avoid having to buy the stuff. I have already done all the usual
things, such as tune up the car, properly inflate tires, use the car
(which gets better milage), than the pickup truck, whenever possible,
and avoid unnecessary trips to the store, etc.
All of this helps, but I want to cut back even more. Not only is my
wallet suffering, but I am real tired of supporting these corrupt oil
companies who are raping us financially. If oil is in low supply, why
not limit us, rather then continually raising the price. I already
know that limiting gas would not affect most average drivers, but
would only affect those who waste gas with "performance" cars, large
gas guzzling boats, and other unnecessary machinery.
Anyhow, my point in this message is not to discuss oil prices, but
rather to find alternatives to using it. I already own horses, which
until now were pets and for recreational riding. But in the past,
before motorized vehicles, people relied on their horses for
transportation. I think this is going to become a reality again for
many of us. While I realize I will have to continue to pay these
crooks for their oil if I need to travel distances, I know that half
of my gasoline usage is for short trips to town. This is where a
horse drawn vehicle would help. Whether it's a trip to the grocery
store, or any other short trip to town, I can use the horse. I live
in a rural area, and am about 5 miles from town. This is an ideal
distance for a horse drawn vehicle, and a total 10 mile per day trip
is not too much for the horse, and seems like it would be enjoyable
too.
Therefore, I am looking for plans to build a horse drawn vehicle out
of wood and the axel and wheels/tires from one of the old farm
implements I got laying around. Does anyone know where to get some
plans?
This message may not be exactly on topic to some of the newsgroups I
am posting to, but is related.
Thanks
Mark

| Renault Scenic rear door lock jammed Ck 13:46:11 |
| | Hi everyone,
I have a 1998 Renault Scenic RXE which has a problem with the central
locking.
The driver's side rear door does not unlock when the car is opened.
The servo for the lock is moving, but I don't think it is moving enough
to open the lock.
Any ideas?

| 1950 Buick Special starts, idles, but dies when given gas... ClubHabel 09:24:12 |
| | From an idle, the car dies if I give it a lot of gas; however, if I
slowly try to get the RPM s up, it ll run and I can rev the engine so
long as the rpm s are up.
Any thoughts on my problem?
I had the carburetor rebuilt, tank resealed, no work to fuel pump,
could use new plugs and wires, did put on new points, distributor cap,
coil. But I am by no means an expert mechanic.

| 1995 Windstar 3.8L Serpentine Belt Removal Guest 05:08:11 |
| | This is an informational post as I was not able to find a clear answer
in the archive - I figured it out for myself.
The tensioner pully on the 3.8L is the farthest pully back into the
engine compartment (closest to firewall/bulkhead) and if you were
looking at a serpentine diagram for this vehicle, it would be the pully
at the top left. The Haynes manual shows a diagram/photo for the 3.0L
serpentine and states "3.8L similar" - it is NOT at all similar, ignore
Haynes. There may be a diagram sticker on the fan shroud or underneath
the hood too so take a look.
To remove tension, you have to get a 15mm wrench back there on the
pully bolt (center of pully) and rotate clockwise. When tension is
released, just pop the belt off the idler pully which is the smallest
pulley near you. I STRONGLY recommend a serpentine tool/wrench which
you can rent out for free from Autozone ($25 deposit). All it really is
is a long bar (leverage) with a number of wrench head attachments
(14mm, 15mm, 16mm, etc.). With the tool, it makes this task too easy -
hope this helps.
