Car still seems much better and got 40 miles more from last tank. Watch this space.

Agreed that we need to be a touch sceptical but there are also a number of vids on YouTube which explain the science. I know that my car feels a ton better and it wasn't bad before! I will keep reporting back.

I know shocking huh? If Gove has his way I will be till about 90 as well! The crud fom the engine is burnt off. I was expecting plumes of black but didn't see much really just a strong whif of diesel ness every now and again!

Excuse typos please as I am fast typing on an iPad!

The cost was 95 quid which isn't bad I suppose when you factor in that some fuel treatments can cost a fir bit an this treatment lasted over an hour with the car running at about 2000rpm. Early indications are n improvement in mpg of bout 6-7 but this is by the computer and a bit erly to tell. I...

Car has been getting a bit smokey recently and was starting to develop a slight misfire. I stay pretty on top of self servicing and cleaned out as much of the intake system as I could a few months back including the swirl valves and egr. My car also has stage 2 remap with egr delete courtesy of...

I have stage 2 with egr delete from Fahad. I have standard clutch fitted 6 months and 6000 miles ago by Honda. Remap done about 2000 miles ago and all good so far. Like guys have said, it will depend on how hard you drive and how long original clutch been in. It is a recognised weak spot but if...

Not sure on that but think there is still vacuum function in the egr. Is it not electromagnetic valve accuated on a vacuum valve?

I am prepared to be corrected here but....I think that the EGR is vacuum operated and therefore stalling under braking would indicate to me that the vacuum pressure could be droppoing thus causing the EGR to open fully and starve the engine of fresh air? This is a total guess but could be an...

I couldn't say how quiet compared to the Michelins but what I can say is how much quieter they are compared to the 4 Bridgestones I had on before. Thing is, they were very worn down but these Nankangs have really impressed me. I bought them specifically because I wrote off a mondeo ST last year...

Couldn't agree more. I have just put a set of winter tyres on allround and they have made a huge difference! The tyres are middle range but i am very pleased and the guy at the fitters said they are selling a lot more of them now. They are Nankang SV2s. Good price on mytyres.

There will be a slight difference in kerb weight between saloon models but can't see there being enough of a difference to warrant an extra second to 60? Mine was definately quicker than 10 sec before faddy remap and now is even faster. As far as I know, other than trim and cosmetic differences...

Stuart don't know if this will help but here is my two pence worth... I had the entire unit out of mine the other day to fit an x-car link ipod adapter. As I did this, I noticed that all earth connections for what looks like the entire dash board sit just behind the DVD drive. This makes it...

Car now all sorted. Cold start this morning and no error code so thats all good.

According to Honda...... 1 glow plug cream crackered so they are replacing that and should get car back tomorrow. I asked them if they considered the job to be DIY if any others go and they said they couldn't comment :lol: All good, will post back tomorrow. Wish I was a Honda dealer, I would...

Thanks, will let you know.

Hi guys thanks for the replies. The feathering has virtually disappeared. The new problem is that from a cold start, the car throws an engine management fault code of p1384 and goes into limp mode. I am unable to clear this code until the engine has started to warm up (i.e. the glow plugs are no...

Right, the relay didn't work. Probelm still there when the car is cold and car is still perfect when warmed up. I think that I am going to put it in to Honda next week unless anybody else has a good idea?

Yeah think is a conincedence that I had been working on the car last weekend. Checked all connections and all seem fine. Relay has arrived so will be fitting tomorrow. Fingers crossed that this solves the problem. Relay was about £37 i think. Def not more than £40.

Right folks, I am getting a recurrent engine fault code of p1384 every time I start the engine from cold. I have googled this and found it to relate to the glow plug circuit malfunction. I have spoken to local honda dealer who was surprisingly helpful and didn't just give the "you need to bring...
