Well I went and gave all the necessary documents and the girl came back and said that the insurance was invalid! She said she had to keep the insurance certificate and I had to ring my company! They said that they had not been receiving payments for the past 3 months! I was totally baffled and checked my account! (I dont take money from it as my money just goes toward the bills) Sure enough the money was all there! They said that I had cancelled the direct debit which I didnt! Anyhow I have just sorted out my insurance with another company that wont mess me around! The question is if I go in on Monday to the tax office will I get in any bother for using an invalid certificate today?

You're approaching a roundabout and there's two lanes.

The left hand lane is all choked up with cars, but the right hand lane is pretty clear.

You approach the roundabout in the right hand lane even though you want to go left or straight over.

You drive onto the roundabout in the right hand lane and drive ALL the way around it and move over for your chosen exit.

You get to exit without having had to sit in the jammed up left hand lane!

Do any of you do this? I can't believe the amount of drivers who just sit in the traffic jam when they could be moving!

I need to hook up a tach wire for a remote starter. The wiring diagram says that it's a white wire off of the ECM. Where's the ECM located in this truck? Do I have to pull the dash?

Thanks in advance!

I have been driving for over 40years and I only learned this today.
Have you ever been driving a strange car and pulled in for petrol
and had to get out and look which side you fill up.
Well there is such an easy way. Look on your petrol gauge there is a small icon of a petrol pump. Whichever way the the filler pipe points either left or right that is the way you fill up.
Why have I never known this, it would of saved me many a creacked
neck hanging out of cars looking for the filler cap.
Is this just me or is this common knowledge.

If you could send me some links to some Trolling motors that would be good for this boat

I drive a '97 Honda Accord wagon, manual, that is reasonably well taken care of. Recently I've noticed a very high pitched squeak that happens intermittently. It's difficult to tell what in my driving causes it to happen, but it will always stop when the breaks are applied even slightly. It seems to be unrelated to RPM or speed. Around the time that this squeak appeared, my check engine light came on which turned out to be the catalytic converter. Any ideas? Thanks for your help.

I recently started hearing a noise come from my car.

First to describe the noise, it sounds like a screech, like something is spinning. I cant really describe it, so dont judge the problem off that. I didn't hear this annoying noise at all, untill i had my ignition timing set to lower to pass smog, i only heard the noise rarely... VERY rarely. I dont ever hear the noise when im idleing on a red light or when i start my car. I only hear it when im moving, BUT i dont hear it anymore if i tap on the breaks.

My car is also due for an oil change, i driven it a good 2.5k miles already since its last... Could that be the problem? Its super annoying, you can almost hear it through music if i play it low enough.

Thanks!

Why not hate cruisers in general?

Hello and I'd like to start by thanking anybody who may have some good info on what's wrong with my car. I'm a single mother so my transportation is critical at this point.

I have a 1993 Sable that's running rough, sucking down a lot of gas, and has a gassy smell when running. When accelerating, the car seems to lose power every second or so.

What could be wrong? About how much will it cost to fix? Are there any good shops in the north Atlanta area that would do this for a reasonable price?

I took it in and had the oil changed but the mechanic didn't know how to reset the light. I took it to Toyota and they didn't know how either.

With petrol prices now going over the pound a litre, and NO sign of any protest, why dont we are motorists stop using the 2 biggest suppliers of fuel - Shell and BP. The one way of trying to get companies to reduce prices to to stop using these companies and just use the Supermarket, before long Shell and BP will start to lose money, and then it will hit there profits which in the long term will mean a fall in prices. Everyone I know have already started using BP and Shell and in the area I live other people are now only using Supermarkets, if we all did it through out the UK, how long would it be, before BP and Shell started seeing a hole in there profits.

STOP USING BP
STOP USING SHELL

FILL UP AT SUPERMARKETS ONLY

Lets make a stand together

I have a 2000 Toyota Camry and this morning it just refuses to start. There is no clanking or knocking whatsoever and this is a fairly recent problem- earlier this week. Beforehand, it would take a couple of attempts but usually started after a few tries. Now it has both the low oil pressure and battery discharge light on and won't start at all.

Are these problems related? I've been looking over the net to try and diagnose the problem myself, since I'm rather tight on budget, but it seems like this requires a pro. If so, what can I say to not get ripped off?

Thank you for any answers.
