The first time my 'check engine' light came on I was freaked out. I brought it into the service centre and they said it might've been something as small as an air bubble, but the system picks it up. This has happened several times so now when it comes on I just ignore it until the next service...

I've been pretty interested in hydrogen powered engines for the last few years and I noticed a lot more hydrogen stations coming up around the world, particularly in the US and Japan. I like the idea of them as they produce 0% emissions and it is the most abundant element in the Earth's...

I know I get lazy and I'll generally only check my levels when one of the 'check' lights comes on and with modern cars and regular servicing there isn't really a reason you need to check and top up your oil and coolant etc, but do you?

In Australia a car cannot be registered without an immobilizer system and with the technology of modern cars I feel an alarm is unnecessary. I mean, how many times do you hear a car alarm go off and think- someone must've bumped into it or a noisy truck driving past must've set it off...

A recent hail storm left my car with a cracked tail light, so I went to buy a new one form Mazda for $400!! Pass, I will try eBay or a wreckers. Anyways, I saw on eBay a set of taillights with black backgound instead of silver, so they look really cool, cheap too. Are they legal? Will...

I heard recently there is a class action suit in the US in regards to the Mazda RX8. Now my buddy has one that has had nothing but problems with it and I know someone who was told he needed a new engine for his and it's only done 50,000 miles! Can anyone confirm this?

Help! I left a brand new sealed car battery on my rear seat and because it was a hot day it leaked and now the acid ate a big hole in the seat. I was told I have to cut it out or the acid will keep eating away at the fabric... What do I do?

Does anyone one know of a good method to clean the interior plastic trims on my car? They're black and they get white marks all over them.

I don't know about anyone else but I had my front pads changed at 25,000 miles and now I'm at 50,000 miles they're getting low. Other people I know only need to get them every 50k or so... Is it my braking style or should I switch to a better brand (currently using Mazda genuine)...?

We recently had a flash hail storm in the city any my car managed to escape serious damage but sustained a few dents in the bonnet and roof. I've heard of paintless dent removal where you just lightly tap at the underside of the panel, but I don't want to make things worse... Any ideas??

HELP!! I've scratched my alloy mags and it's really deep. I've tried polishing and buffing it out but it's still there? Can i get them repaired or will I need to fork out another $350 for a new one??

I want to trade in my bunky run-around for something a little nicer, a little newer... but how much newer? I am unsure whether to buy a new car or used one... What are the benefits of buying new over 2nd hand?

I've always been a fan of Japanese Performance Vehicles (Nissan Skylines, Mazda RX8) but my partner loves his Muscle Cars (Chevys, Mustangs). Which do you prefer, Classic Muscle or Performance Technology?

My buddy's got an RX8 with a 13B rotary in it and it keeps flooding. The dealership told him to drive with high revs and make sure it's warm before shutting off- but it still floods! Does anyone else have this problem, or know how to fix it?

I have a small car about 2005 model and it has been pulling to the right for ages, I've had a wheel alignment and it makes it better- but it doesn't completely fix it! I've heard it's probably a bent chassis and apparently it's a common thing on small cars and impossible to fix... Does anyone...
