Maintenance & Repairs - November 2006

One day the brakes on my Jimmy went soft and sank to the floor and then completely gave out. There are no brakes, they are just laying flat on the floor. A New master cylinder was put in three weeks before this happened and no brake line leaks, got the truck bled really well, Still no brakes. What I cant figure out is that I can brake when in reverse but not when the car is in drive. What could be the problem. When I did have the brakes bled i was told that the car would stop in drive but only for a second then out again back and forth like that. Could anyone help??
And why would they stop only in reverse?

I hit a massive pothole in the middle of the night that bent my poor rim.The rim's fixed now but now my steering wheel is off to the left about maybe an inch and a half. I was wondering where would be the best cheapest place to have it fixed? Will it get worse if I leave it alone?

How dangerous is it and what could happen if I don't put air in it? It doesn't look super flat....just a little low.

It use to get hot so we wired it to keep the fan running when it is on...but I think that is what I causing the problems!

Does this make sense and can anyone help me figure out what's wrong?

I am a mother of three that needs a good working car...and I do not want to get overcharged for something that does not fix the problem!

Thanks for any help!

Aw shucks, price of gas is falling, so I MUST go out and buy a 8 MPG hog...

Aw shucks, I feel so much better now that I stopped drinking...maybe I'll just stop off at the bar on my way home from work...for just 1 cold one.

As Americans, we just don't know when to say when, or when to stop, or that a lottery ticket is a poor way to make $$.

God help us, really.

Would you also happen to know how to go about getting the amount of fluid to proper level, is there a drain plug?

Having checked the level yesterday, I noticed it was above the MAX fill line. The last time the transmission was serviced was about a year ago and maybe about 5000miles driven.

Thank you for any information and help you can send my way.

My gf's car dies when her AC is on high and she comes to a stop. Supposedly there was some problem with Celebrities that caused this. Personally, it just sounds like it's idling too low, but the car sounds great when idleing, so I'm not entirely.

Any suggestions?

The head light on the passenger side of my 1992 Honda Accord LX burned out....I bought a replacement, attempted to change it and that is where the fun starts.
How on earth do I get to the lamp to remove the old one? The battery is in the way, so you can't get your hand between it and the back of the lamp!
There has to be a way for me to do this.....it's just a removal of one bulb to switch it with another for crying out loud...

I don't want to take it to a shop just to change the lamp....what's a girl to do?
Anyone have any tips for me?

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!

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?
