    Risky to renew automatic gearbox oil ?

    I have to believe Honda, or this fella AND my local garage that I've used for more than 15years now. They've never flat refused to do something I've asked for before (and I've asked for some weird stuff over the years :D ). He's not a Honda specialist by any means, but is a garage that I...

    What colour was the pollen filter from the factory ?

    While trying to fix a weak heater blower output, I've pulled the pollen filter out of the dashboard tonight, and its colour is on the black side of grey. It is definitely filthy, and will get replaced tomorrow. I waved the hoover at it for a couple of minutes, then refitted it, and the blower...
