From another forum I quote at the end of last year there has been an amendment to the motor vehicle tax law. Since December 5, 2012 (in force since December 12, 2012) the FA has to take over the registered vehicle type and to classify it accordingly. § 2 Definitions, participation of the traffic authorities 1. Vehicles within the meaning of this law fall under the concept of vehicles and motor vehicle trailers. 2. Unless otherwise specified by this law, 1. 2. for the assessment of pollutant, carbon dioxide and noise emissions, other assessment bases of a technical nature as well as of vehicle classes and construction types, the findings of the registration authorities are binding. Accordingly, the FA may no longer tax a truck as a passenger car only because it looks like this from inside and/or outside (window, missing partition etc.). Since 12.12.12, the term “unreal motorhome” has been deleted, especially since there was already only a vehicle tax law, but never in the vehicle regulation, although some aaS had meant that. Therefore, all those who had previously had a different tax than those stated in the vehicle documents have to pay attention. In the forum contributions it can be read that tax advantages can arise for: * so far car tax as “unreal motorhome”, but actually camper (diesel engine) * so far car tax, but actually trucks but also disadvantages are possible for: * so far truck tax, but actually car * so far car tax as “unreal motorhome”, but actually residential mobi l (Benzinmotor) The tax office can and will apply the amendment of the motor vehicle tax law retroactively and is apparently also authorized to do so. Certainly, one is well advised if one already plans these possible additional costs and put aside a little money for the reclaim.

Hello together Jeep has introduced the new model year of the Grand Cherokee. I like the car very much and in my opinion picks up more and more to the German cars. What do you think about it?

Hello, I was today with some friends at the gas station when suddenly two really thick amishlits came around the corner. I immediately recognized one, that was a Camaro in black – very nice car but the other did it to me properly. He stood at the pump next to me and this sound of the car.. he was so loud and so deafening ears that almost hurt one’s ears but it was…. awesome! I’ve never heard such a loud but nevertheless beautiful sound, uns Well, like that, we had to go on and unfortunately I didn’t ask the driver what kind of car it is! That annoys me so much that I just have to ask here, the chance is probably rather small that I find the car but maybe one of you knows by chance which sled that could be. So I described: It was a “comb” and very, very long. His tail was striking. He had a large glass front (the side panels) or as one calls it, where The rear was running down at the end but still had a kind of “Po”. So the flap from the trunk went diagonally down and then there was again like such an attachment where on each side (I think) was an exhaust. The BJ I guess on 68,69-71,72 can of course also mislead me! He looked like a family carriage from that time, but very shcön and simply indescribably loud! And he had one on the side we say once … longer In any case a metal sign where there was a longer font on it, that was probably rather the model designation. From the length about like the word Chevrolet whether it was no one, or whether the type designation is as long I do not know as I said! I still hang a link with picture to the form: http://www.google.de/imgres?… it is however, and I am almost sure, not this car. At least not this model, although of course the shape is already quite identical The one at the gas station was even older I think. I hope you know a few cars that might be that, I’m aware of the low chance but if I find this car I will buy it 100% if I have the means to do it! LG Tyreal

Since today I have a disgusting squeak with my 95s Town Car when I drive faster than 110 (more than 130 I don’t drive with the car). It sounds like an old sofa or matraze. I didn’t have such a thing with any car and therefore I don’t know how to look for it the best.It’s really extremely annoying because I’m usually also on the highway. Does someone have an idea how to get to the thing best? My feeling would say shock absorbers but that you will not be able to fix easily.Functionable they should be that was checked at the full acceptance before well a month but that doesn’t have to mean anything …

First of all a friendly HALLO to all here in the US round. I bought myself a 1977 Chevrolet Impala station some time ago and am about to beautify it or put it back in an acceptable original condition. It will certainly open up in the future the one or other question, how exactly the situation with the exhaust system behaves… but to that when it is time. At the moment I have a tire problem. At the moment Cragar Wheels are under the car I already got a set of original steel rims (15″x7″ and got me a set of old wheel caps. Now I want to have the right rubber on it. My main problem at the moment is that the car has been running in Holland so far, so I don’t have the permitted wheel/tire combinations in the papers anywhere. So far this is derivable, if I have the original rims, however I have I don’t know if my speedometer still shows correctly if I raise 185/65/15 88H. I know that 185mm is wider than the 178,8mm (7″ of my rim). Does anyone have any experience with it? I found the size in particular because I was looking for all-year tires with white wall ring and the selection is not necessarily infinite and I found it in the e-bay. I am hopeful that someone can help me to finish the conversion soon. Best regards from the West, Hank!

Hello together, I’m starting again with a beginner question:How are the general symptoms for too much or too little transmission oil in the machine? Vehicle: Chevy Impala 1975 Station Wagon, engine: 350 SB (from a 1979 Camro Z28) Gearbox: TH400 Phenomenon: Putting in gear is wonderful with a little jerk (closeness of force). When giving gas, however, the vehicle moves forward only after some delay and also does not achieve really high performance values – at least not so like last year it’s interesting that I don’t need to change the “gas foot position” when starting up. Easy gas: doesn’t happen much; just stay on it: rolls on after a few seconds…It feels like the converter has to be filled and the power only arrives late on the rear wheels. Can this be technically so? Since I know little about the operation of automatic drives, I just ask so easily in the round… I have refilled before a few weeks by the way (2 liters), because he didn’t want to move at all. But the oil level is bad to read: light pink on metal… great combo I’m curious about your answers.

Servus! I found today a Cadillac De Ville 4.5 V8 Built in 1990 and the car just appeals to me. Perfect because I like the engine capacity and it comes to me in Austria with 158hp very cheap. He has 123000km on the speedometer. What to look for? Diseases? Suitable for everyday use? (15km to work) Consumption? I will keep it as with my A6 4F and do as much as possible on the car itself, which should keep the maintenance costs slightly lower (was at least with the A6 so). seen are not so expensive and also well available. Look forward to answers!

Hello guys, I have a problem and that’s it. I bought my 95er 5.2 in July and drove it home on the axle. After about 40 kilometers it got too hot. I stopped the hood and it boiled without ending, i.e. it even hurled down the plastic cover from the balance tank. Okay I let cool down in 1 hour… then I poured up so much water again until it fit, drove on and the problem was gone. (always constant 100 degrees) . So I 2 weeks later my valve cover seals made I thought I immediately made a new thermostat in as I thought that the old one has limped or was defective. Everything clear new thermostat inside ( from the accessories for 10 euros ). So from there started the display was only always exactly between the 40 and 100 degrees, there it stopped. What should still be said my fan runs almost always with , makes real noise . Upper large cooler hose no longer fixed ( no pressure ) and the cooler cover can after 30km drive up nothing happened, water is hot but does not squirt nothing…. so great thought the lid is broken (for pressure on and dismantling ) replaced again unchanged. Then I built the original thermostat from Mopar pure… almost unchanged… display rose by 2 millimeters. Then thought to me later mhhh the fan cools the engine so strongly that it can not get warm ? So I built out the visco clutch, . Again unchanged on the federal road, in the city or. It gets hot because it is logical (no more cooling.. Fans are missing)….. sooooo thermostat new, cooler cover new, and the viscofan is not!!!! What to do? Motor has according to measuring device 75 °C
