Hi - most likely the overdrive sprag (a one-way clutch) in the transmission is slipping, and must be replaced. It must work properly for any forward gear to work. I would recommend a transmission inspection by a mobile, professional mechanic,...
This may be result of a failing or dirty mass airflow sensor. This is a unit that is responsible for regulating the air flow into the engine as it is mixed with fuel prior to being injected into the motor....

When it comes to oil leaks, if your car is typical, there is probably more than one leak point. Without pre-cleaning the engine, it is possible to put a fluorescent dye into the engine oil, run the engine, and then...
Hi Alex....yes, that sensor could be a possibility but there are other components in the circuit as well such as relays (that can stick on) and, although not as likely, there are possible wiring faults that can cause continuous power...
Hi Mario. Thanks for contacting us today. It's difficult to tell for certain whether your issue is mechanical or electrical. However, it could be possible that the inner hydraulic lines are clogged with debris, causing this problem. It could also...

Hello. It sounds like there is something broken in the engine internally. A push rod could be bent, a lifter could be stuck, or the engine bearing could be messed up. Have your vehicle's noise inspected by a certified technician,...
Lead replacement actually does work. If it is an old enough car, you can advance the timing and then when you accelerate hard, especially if you are going uphill, if you hear the engine rattling a little when you accelerate,...
Hello. It would first be necessary to pinpoint where the leak is coming from by doing a power steering system check. Once the origin of the leak is found that component would need to be replaced. I recommend having a...
If you scan the computer and monitor the crankshaft and camshaft sensors, you will see one of them not working properly to send a signal that the computer will use to make the coils send a spark. You will not...
When the airbags were replaced the battery would have been disconnected and may cause the computer to reset and can cause some loss of fuel mileage until the computer gets through relearn. If you still get lower fuel mileage after...
Hello. There are few things that I recommend a technician inspect to help find the cause of the stalling condition. The carburetor choke, the fuel lines for clogging, and the fuel filter on the bottom of the carburetor. Also you...
There are a number of things that can cause poor fuel mileage. A faulty camshaft position sensor is one of them. The camshaft position sensor is a magnetic sensor that monitors camshaft speed to regulate ignition timing and fuel injection...
I can't help but think that there is a little more back-story here. But I presume you bypassed the heater core because you had a leak inside the car. That's something you can do if you don't need heat of...
Your tires are an essential part of your vehicle. They can affect it in so many different ways. Not only are they a component that we can expect to spend money on over time, but they also have a huge...
The first clicking sound is likely coming from a faulty CV axle. This clicking sound is made by a faulty joint within the cv axle. I would first recommend having a suspension and brakes inspection performed by a qualified professional....
Hello, thank you for writing in. Apologies for the difficulty in obtaining a quote. Smart Cars are a little harder to price out, and our website may not have been automatically able to do so. The average price range for...
Hey there. The service costs on a vehicle like this can vary widely depending on the shop doing the work, especially on a vehicle like a Range Rover. As with any vehicle approaching 100,000kms, there will definitely be substantial maintenance...
Between the drive shaft and the yoke into the differential is a u-joint. Based on your description that joint may be faulty and in need of replacement. To have that component inspected, and replaced if necessary, please request universal joint...
There could be an issue with the clutch pressure plate springs. One or more of the springs may be damaged causing the pressure plate to apply at an angle making the clutch assembly lock up with the transmission input shaft...
With over a quarter million miles on your car, it really could be anything. There are about a dozen moving parts in your car's front end that are subject to wear, including the ball joints. Any number or combination of...
