Hi I want to travel to covent garden from manchester and return a day later.
If i get the train at manchester piccadilly where is the first stop I can get off at to get the tube ?
It seems to be a lot cheaper doing it like that rather then getting the train all the way.
Any advice appreciated never travelled by train before.

ok so my car was hit by a drunk driver who fled the scene but was caught by the cops.
My car is totally damaged but that other guy does not have insurance and I only have Liability insurance (AAA) which does not cover the whole cost of my vehicle (but my insurance is welling to pay half of it)..

So my question is what should I do? Is there any way I can get the full cost of my vehicle?

My cigarette lighter went out in my 96 toyota 4runner. Is there a fuse I should change, or any typical solution/trouble shoot I can do?

Thanks.

I bought a volkswagon Beetle four months ago and for the first time this weekend the temperature light came on. Everything was about to close because of the Holidays so I called a volkswagon dealership and they told me if the light was flashing then we could make it to our next location. We added some water, drove a little and then my car stopped. I just heard from the mechanic that the engine is gone. It will costs me the same amount I owe to fix the car. Does anyone know if insurance will help cover in situation like this? I know it is not an actual accident, but it is a total loss for me. Any suggestions on what I can do will be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I have a 95 Toyota Tacoma, 2.7 L, 4 cylinder, 4wd. Two weeks ago it did not start. The shop replaced the distrubor cap, coil, rotator, plugs(twice), plug wires and tried changing out the oxygen sensors. It now starts but it does not accelorate properly (this was not a problem before) but it is not consistant when it happens. It think it is mis-firing usually getting onto the freeway and at high speeds. It jerks really hard. The second shop told me it was the distributor cap. So we checked to make sure there weren't any cracks. It looks good. I have already spent a fortune on labor and the shops can't find anything wrong. Any suggestions.

I recently moved to Arizona, and I'm buying a car. Can anyone please tell me what is the procedure to purchase, register...the vehicle (emission as well) step by step? And do I need to get the insurance for the car before I go to the DMV to register it? I would've called the DMV myself, but they only have services online and they take a while.
Thanks a lot

I bought a used 2001 Ford Mustang and they said they put new brake pads, rotors and calipers on the front end, but on my way home the front right was smoking and smelled like they were burning. I took it back to get the work done on it, on my way when I was slowing down to go to a complete stop, under 10 mph, they started to squeak. They said the calipers were locked up and replaced them but on my way home they still squeaked. It was raining pretty hard so I don't know if it was just the moisture or if there is still something wrong with them. Any help or suggestions needed. THANKS.

Have you ever been driving the speed limit (or even a little above) and looked into your rear view mirror only to see a car following right behind you?
I can't see why following so closely is a remotely good idea. If the driver ahead of you decides to slam on the brakes and you rear end them then you'll get the ticket. So I guess my main question would be "Why risk all the extra insurance costs just to get somewhere a little faster?"

I heard news that the eastern terminus of I-74 in Cincinnati has a proposal of an extension to North Carolina in I-77. It is similar to U.S. Highway 52 which is a diagonal northwest-southeast highway running from Canada to South Carolina. Will the western terminus of I-74 be extended to the Minneapolis/St. Paul area and possibly terminating to I-94? This will be America's first longest diagonal interstate highway. There's also reports that I-69 has an extension proposal to the U.S.-Mexico border.

Had a blowout on the interstate. Fortunately, I have a full-size spare.

Went to the dealer today to see about getting the one that blew replaced, and he said because of tread wear and the fact that I have all-wheel drive, we might have to replace ALL of them.

I paid $2,000 to replace all the tires and get that full-size spare a year and a half ago.

Whenever we hit the lock button on our keyless entry (for an 06 Toyota 4Runner) it has started beeping the horn 3 times, consecutively louder each time we hit it, instead of the quieter, single beep it used to. I can't find anything in the manuel to help so I was hoping somebody out there could.

Thanks!
