On the first question, Is the car a manual transmission? Perhaps she isnt fully pressing in the clutch so it fails to start. I know on my car that happens....just a shot in the dark I guess since it doesnt seem to be the battery (tick tick tick tick) and it starts the next time...
Not much help on the other two problems. For me, noise on turning on previous car turned out to be something called 'CV boots'. (my car was known as the 'clack clack' around my circle of friends because that was the noise it made taking sharp turns)
Third question: My girlfriends windows on here pontiac transam had this problem. The motors both went out, and over time the windows would slide down, but you could shove them up and be good for another day or two. I was able to replace one motor but it was kinda of a pain in the a**. The other one we just ghetto/blocked in the upward position with a bolt.)
Good luck mate.

First, if every now and then when she puts the key in the ignition and turn the key and she gets nothing but a faint click, no tick tick tick tick tick(which I figure would indicate a starter problem), nada, but turn another time or two, it eventually starts as normal, what's likely the problem?
Second, if when she turns to the left, and put pressure on the right side of my car, she hears a decent amount of high pitched, grinding/scratching type noise coming from the front right wheel well, what's this likely to be? Axle? Wheel bearing? what are all the other possibilities?
Third, her rear driver side window doesn't stay up, you can pull it up alright (seems to be on track), but it gradually just falls back down with the bumps in driving. What's likely to cause this?
Thanks everyone. |
