I drive a Vauxhall Astra LS - 1.4L, 1997 model. It usually drives well, but every once in a while, the engine cuts out when I'm driving, and it won't start up again - the starter motor turns over OK but I can't get ignition. I usually have to wait 10 minutes or so before I can get it going again.
It can go for weeks and not do this, then it might do it twice a day for a week or so. It tends to happen when I'm driving at low speed - slowing down for junctions, driving in 30mph zones or moving off. Occasionally it won't start at all, and I can't even get off my driveway.
I've taken it to 3 garages, who all said they've fixed the problem, but it still happens. The AA are stumped. Help!

the remote control's battery is new, but i think that the remote control does not send signal to the car to open or close the doors' locking system, or there is a problem with the key programming

Ferro-cement was the "in" material to make a boat hull from, and my father was quite taken with the idea behind it. Time and my father have passed, and I am wondering if it is still a viable building material. thank you for your responses.

So I was curious if there's an online listing of phone numbers for Control Towers throughout the US? I'd like to call one of them and just try my eyes perception on the signal gun lights. I'm hoping I see all the colors as clearly as I should...I think I will, I just want to try this out.

I know about everything about color deficience in trying to get an FAA license, but if you have any reccomendation or suggestions, please let me know.

Note: I've done other tests...I'm thinking this is the only one I have left.

White Van Man saw me on my bike trying to enter a stream of slow moving (mostly stuck) cars and trucks. White Van Man made space for me and waved me in, safely and courteously. Yay for White Van Man.

After taking the AC or serpentine belt off to inspect, why is it recommended that you put the belts in the same direction as before? I took the AC belt off on my car to inspect and it was in very good condition so I put it back on but I didn't know which way it was on before so I just put it on. Will it break if I put it on the other way? Thanks.

I would like to know how these bikes hold up under normal riding conditions and day to day use. Do they require a large amount of maintenance or are they easily maintained? How difficult is it to find parts? Am I going to be spending a lot of time looking for and replacing parts? Thank you for any help you can give.

Back in the day, I suppose during the "Miami Vice" era, detective police would place those read, flashing lights on their cars before blazing through traffic to persue a criminal or head to the location of a crime. Does anyone know what the lights themselves were called?

First, let me apologise for the few not so nice things I have done. I cannot excuse myself, but MAYBE I can use the experience to help others here. So, what would you like to know?
