Rover 75 WATER IN FRONT FOOTWELL WINDOWS MISTY?

If your car is a Ford Taurus or Sabel there is a known defect... There is a technical service bulletin for water leaks on the passenger's side of the Taurus/Sable. Ford has come up with a revised cowl panel weather strip extension to fix this problem. In addition, sealer needs to be put around the fresh air inlet of the heater system. Apparently, Ford has found that water runs through the heater box and exits through the heater blower motor into the vehicle cabin on the passenger's side. Go to a Ford dealership to have the problem corrected. If the vehicle is still under warranty, it will be covered. Otherwise, you will have to pay for the work. Success to you. My car has pollen filter in the air intake system which blocked up and and developed the same symptons with water leaking into the passenger footwell. It is a five minute job to replace this filter.

My blower is always blowing cold air?

Heater Always blows Cold airAlthough there could be several reasons, the most common on cars built in the last 20 or so years is a failure of the "Blend Door" system.

Most modern vehicles allow you to control temperature by "mixing" hot and cold air in varying amounts inside the plenum chamber, usually located above the passenger's feet. The industry calls this "blending."

Often, when the control mechanism, or the door pivot, or control arm, fails the door "sticks" in the position which directs only cold air into the passenger compartment. It can fail in other positions, but the full cold is most common.

To correct this problem, you will have to find/identify the cause of the failure, and then repair or replace what's causing the problem.

Again, the "culprit" is commonly the Blend Door Assembly.

Why does your poop smell bad?

Simply because it's mainly composed of un-digested food. Given that the human body is the ideal temperature for bacteria to grow - your faeces is laden with live bacteria. They have already started decomposing any left-over food in your digestive system - creating gasses such as methane and sulphur dioxide (rotten eggs) - which creates the smell. Additionally, we are conditioned to dislike anything that doesn't smell nice - in case we try to eat something rotten. !

Should the bed of a ford 350 single wheel be level from the rear to the cab?

Most truck beds tend to sit higher due to the extra suspension on the rear axle tp handle the load capacity, so it is perfectly normal for the truck to not be level with ground. If you are looking to level out the truck you may have to consider air suspension, a drop kit, or a lift kit. I'm not sure if the rear will have a coil-over spring that you would be able to cut to achieve the same results.
