HI,

I'm having problems starting my car in the morning.
I've changed the glow plugs, fuel filter and the air filter but this has not worked.

I have been told it may be the relay switch for the glow plug controller but no one seems to know where it is located.

I've been given 3 different places that it could be and one of them is behind the dash board.

It is in the garage in the morning and they say they will have to locate it which could take 2-3+ hours. If i know where it is it could save me £40 per hour!!!!

PLEASE HELP..... Has anyone had this problem before or does anyone know where it is located so i can tell the garage.

It is a Cavalier 1.7 turbo diesel (Isuzu engine)

ANY info would be greatly appreciated!

Many thanks in advance.

NOrmally the doors will lock after you have the vehicle in Drive and you are going down the road. Now the Explorer is locking the door repeatedly, over and over with the door ajar tone sometimes sounding while driving. I have checked the fuses but not sure where else I sould continue my pursuit of this annoying problem. Your Ideas?

My Van started stalling out a couple weeks ago It will start and then stall before in gear but will start after 3 or 4 trys, we took it to the shop the did a tune up and charged us 220.00 now its stalling worse, we took it back to the garage they said it need the tune up they changed the sparkplugs, a new air filter and fuel filter, when we took it back the guy said that its from the cold weather and his car does the same thing, I dont believe that, a little wile ago we had to put coolant in the van because the light came on but thats all.

Why are there so many inconsiderate and even barely legal drivers now? Do you agree that convicted drivers should have to sit a compulsory test, including the new theory tests?

Today I had my first car accident. I was backing up from a parking space, as was a person behind me. We crashed. My car was scratched, his was dented. He said that he saw me backing up and honked his horn. There was NO horn honk I heard. As I am 16, I think he may take advantage of that a put the crash as my fault, even when it was his as well. He acted all friendly and said, "well, at least no one got hurt, have a good day." After we had given all our information to each other. What happens if he blames this on me? What rights do I have?

At the time all the bidders were told it needed a new ignition switch. True, it did. That has since been fixed. The problem now is that although it starts, runs great (by the way this van is loaded with everything) it drives in reverse only!! My boyfriend says he doesnt believe its transmission problems although he put trans x in it with no results, he now plans on changing the transmission filter. He thinks this may do the trick. Well....before I go and spend $ on "just trying things out," I'd really like some opinions from those of you who have had the same or similar experience. What did you do or try....what was the problem? I really rather not find out that my $250.00 "deal"..... really is too good to be true. Thanks for your time.

I own a membership to Mountain Lakes Camping Resort.
I am being told that I have to leave my Goldwing Motor Cycle at the entrance , even though I have handicap plates on it.
There is handicap parking in back at the Rec. Center, Pool and Resturant, but they won't allow me to drive my very quite motorcycle to those spots. I am unable to walk very far and it is a large camping facility.
The only exception to the no motorcycle rule is if you have a camping spot and then you are allowed to drive in to it.
I show proof of my disability, but they say that it makes no difference.
It was ok when I bought my membership, but because they have had loud bikes cruising around the camp ground and bothering people, they say no to all motorcycles including the ones that have the plates now.
I don't see why I can't drive straight to the handicap parking spots, because they had problems with some bikers cruising around before.
My membership is for camping and day use of facility.
HELP Please

I commute back and forth (straight highway miles) about 125 miles every day and need a reliable, accurate detector that will detect most all signals. Can someone tell me which ones work very well and possibly the price range that I'm looking at?

I'm trying to get an idea on how much people will pay. I am selling a '94 Honda Civic, 186k miles, some rust and body damage, nothing major. Needs a new muffler, but it gets 40-45 mpg average. How much would you pay? Thanks!

I've heard they are not reliable at all. Should I stay away from them? What about the Grand Cherokees? Also, should I pay more to get a V8 instead of the V6? I need some power, but is the difference worth the money?

I already know that the fan itself is good. And, I know that all the fuses are good, and it appears that the swithch is good. Does anyone know if there is a relay somewhere that could be the problem, and if so, where is it located?
