The speed limit on alot of these roads in the Tampa Bay area on city streets is 45. Is is almost impossible nowadays to even get near that speed even if the traffic isn't heavy. And if you do get up to that speed it takes forever. I look and almost always see that there are a few culprits on cellphones blocking up the lanes driving side by side. I have also read in a Yahoo news story a few months ago that they are statistically as dangerous as drunk drivers. Should cell phone usage while driving be banned?

It's me again. I changed the distributor out with a new one. No luck. Someone suggested the crankshaft sensor. I checked the resistance and got within tolerance on the sensor. Were do I go from here????? Hopefully not to the shop. Thanks for your help in advance. When trying to crank, the rotar rotated and the camshaft rotated. Guess this means it isn't a broken timing chain.

My car won't start. Have lights and radio though. When I try to start it, the lights and radio disappeaar. If I wait approx. 10 minutes they are back. I'm thinking it is the battery connections. Do I also need to replace the battery cables? Also, is it easy to do?

I had to make an aggonising decision today with my honda jazz sport which has bridgestone tyres on the other three wheels . Due to time constraints I had to get the garage to fir a Pirelli tyre but my other 3 wheels have Bridgestone tyres. The guy was going on saying that Bridgestone tyres are very rare so would have to order in. If they rare, r they better than Pirelli tyres? I don't mind paying the extra £90 if you think that I would be better off with the tyres which originally came with my honda...i.e bridgestone tyres. What do u think? Or should I stick with one Pirelli tyre and 3 bridgestone tyres? Yes this is an aggonising decision as I love my honda sport jazz!

My turn signals are not working, but my hazard lights are. Dealer said to try fuse #6, but it appears to be working. Any other ideas? Also, the fan for our heat/air system is not pushing any air out. When driving, I can feel through the vent that the outside air is being warmed, but the fan is not working on any setting. Dealer recommended we check the connection to the blower/resistance pack (?) under the glove box - all wires seem to be in order. Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

Im booking a flight and I wanted to know where the best place to sit. I think that sitting where the wing is makes you feel a lot more shaking. is it comfortable to sit in the back or the row right in front of the wing?

My 2001 Berlingo has had a temperature reading problem for the last few months, whilst driving it will shoot to red fans on then a few minutes later back to a zero reading and so on sometimes in a journey it can happen 10-15 times. How easy is this to fix is it just a thermo stat change??? If so where on the car is it?
