Hi Maybe worth spraying lubricant over the tailgate lock, flip the panel out and operate the the manual release lever,(white plastic) a few times. Cheapest and quickest option for me. Another possible is the gas struts x2 are on the way out and overloading the motor over time. with the tailgate...

Could be a bad earth somewhere, seems strange if the interior lights go out the battery drains. The draining battery maybe the hands free keeps looking for a signal, the module is located under the top dash cover above the radio, disconnected mine and battery is ok. There are other posts on here...

Thanks for the reply Rob, will sort the 2 fluids in a week or 2

Hi Ben Is the boot working now?

Hi Did you resolve the problem?? Thanks

Hi, PTE or PTG error was what I had 2 times, if I remember, yep the boot switch is rh side steering wheel next to VSA switch, drilling holes is drastic, good job its an old one :) The error code I had suggested the ECU, but disconnecting the battery for a short time didn't reset the boot, so...

Hi, Fuse is first point of call, plus is battery ok in key fob, sometimes error code in amber on dash PTE if I remember, try disconnect battery for 24 hrs, shorter times doesn't seem to reset it, also climb in through the back, remove cover bottom centre of back door, give a spray with wd40...

Hi I don't have a owners manual, can anyone advise on the power steering oil spec and anti freeze spec for 2007 Tourer 2.2 diesel, had a search round the usual suspects of oil suppliers but none of them can confirm the actual specs. and recommended quantities I suspect a universal anti freeze...

Maybe worth re checking on Honda UK web site, had my front passenger air bag replaced on the re call just over 2 years ago, then rechecked the other day on Honda UK site, a recall for the same air bag, contacted Honda UK, they checked and said it needs to go back again, the first recall air bags...

Hi, have the dreaded cracked exhaust manifold on 2.2i-CTDI 2007 There is a mod kit from Honda around £300 plus or there are after market manifolds with gaskets from around £70 upwards on ebay, Has anyone bought 1 off ebay? last thing i want to do when the car is in bits and go oops, should...

ref exhaust manifold, maybe a rumour, but if the car is under 126,000 miles Honda may cough up. There's a contact form on the Honda website to ask the question, dealers, need I say more!!

Hi, your best bet and quickest/cheapest way is to find someone with the Honda diagnostic to plug in, Honda dealer would do, but properly not tell you the exact fault, but a high price to fix. or if upto it, the wire in the diagnostic plug, cannot remember the pin numbers, then count the flashes...

Thanks for that, same brand I was looking at too, as you say oil filter on the I-CDT location is a dream. Was looking at the pump to possibly drain the manual g/box, maybe a bit tricky. Some car manufacturers don't fit engine sump plugs anymore, saves on there manufacturing costs. Maybe they...

Hi, has anyone used a vacuum oil extractor pump for removing the engine oil via the dipstick tube and or the manual gearbox oil for DIY servicing?

Use Westway oil in my 07 tourer, happy with the oil, got no idea what the previous owners had used, or whoever serviced what oil or even if the correct spec was used, personnel choice at the end of the day.
