Neither are great choices, since the Mini is really a BMW.

If you want those vehicles and dislike Japanese ones, you'd better not be one to complain about maintenance costs.

Why aren't we building a fence on our northern border?

This is currently what much of America's northern border looks like up close and personal. The clear cut area is the physical border. Mexicans come into the...

Ok I have a zc Honda engine in my car its like a d series engine the car sputter a when you step on the gas but only till about 4000 ROMs then it evens out I've checked the/ bought new
Plugs
Wires
Idle air control motor
Has a new cold air intake so air filter is clean
Checked all the vacuum pressure lines
Distributor
Put octane booster/fuel injector cleaner in it
It runs and when it idles it will sputter then even out so I feel it has to be an air fuel mixture problem it also has a check engine light that flashes when driven for the miss fires that are occurring

What can the problem be?

f250 v 10 2000 sound from oil pan?

I was under my truck with it running just checking it out and I noticed right by my oil pan you can hear a very quiet noise like a dryer is it just oil turning around from camshaft it sounds like a very light clinking but you can't hear it if you move your head away just if you put your head up to it is this normal ? I change oil regularly is it just normal for something in oil pan pumping oil threout motor that's why you can hear it if your ears up to it but you would never hear it anywhere else

You need to get the vehicle listened to and checked by someone who can raise it on a lift and check.
If something came loose in the RF, you may want to raise it and shake the RF wheel before driving it, to check for any safety issue.
Since we don't have the make, model, and year, it is difficult to guess the likely cause without the ability to reproduce it and evaluate.

Honda engine rebuild... Car is not staring!!! Need help bad!!?

Hello everyone my name is Jordan. I have a 2000 civic si b16a2 motor.
Okay bare with me this may be long but I need help bad (any hurtful comments please take them elsewhere ther is no need for disrespect) Okay so might I add this is me and my brothers first rebuild so I figure you have to start somewhere and I really need some helpful advice, we are not professionals. so I bought a rebuild kit which came with and oil pul some bearings, pistons, piston rings timing belt and water pump and a full gasket set and all are the right parts. we replaced all the gaskets from the head to the block so head gasket valve cover etc. we are rebuilding this car with the help of a Haynes manual. well before we even start to take everything off your supposed to put the engine at something called top dead center (which I am aware of now and know all about it) . we did not do that to start with and by the time we got down to it we realized. so after all the parts are replaced I put the crankshaft pulley aligned with the mark on the timing belt cover and the first piston is at the top of the stroke. so we put the timing belt on and put both cams on. the cams have an arrow on the cam gear saying up so we put them in the up position. I also had to fix the valve lash with a feeler gauge and im pretty positive I did that correctly.. when all said and done the car turns over but is not starting. its getting fuel and spark and has all the fluids and all connectors im pretty sure are connected.
