I bought Honda CR-V at the end yesterday and couldn't be happier. I did a lot of searching and at the end decided to go for another Honda and no reason NOT to. I still have my 12+ years old Accord diesel, done 160k miles and going strong. This is what I got...

Hey Fahad, glad to hear from you after quite some time! I'm not hearing/reading good things about Audi DSG auto gear box so might rule it out. X3 is not a bad option at all. Are you considering petrol/auto or diesel/auto?

I'm looking to buy a new car and can't decide between these two. Main requirements are it should accommodate 2 adults + 3 children. Oldest child is out of the seat, the second one should be out of seat in less than a year whereas the third one is only 2. Need decent sized boot space, comfortable...

My daily commute is almost 40 miles with mainly motorway and dual-carriage mileage. I've worked out annual fuel savings would be well over £400 just for my commute so I think diesel makes sense. Also the 2.0 Vtec is slower than 1.6 diesel and the auto gearbox in petrol is old type (5 speed...

I'm thinking of selling my partner's Nissan Qashqai +2 and get CR-V 1.6 i-DTEC auto (2016 model). I've read the reviews and they're all very positive. In particular the new auto 9 speed gearbox. It'll be long car in the long run and as I've had Honda Accord 2.2 i-CTDI for over 8 years with no...

Glad to hear that! So I'm ***uming in my case its more than likely the master cylinder that needs replacing?

BigG sorry to hear that you're having the same issue. Please let me know if new master cylinder fixes the problem.

I hope someone would be able to guide me in the right direction! My car has developed a random fault for past week or two. At times the clutch pedal is very heavy and then when I press it to change the gear, the pedal stays down and I've to get my foot underneath it to bring it back up. But then...

Mine is over 148k+ miles right now. Bought it 8 years ago when it had done just over 70k. Apart from usual wear and tear the only thing I've done is a new alternator and got the manifold sorted out (the fault wasn't the manifold, the culprit was a sensor). Its still going well. Been servicing...

John how are you finding your MK8 auto/diesel tourer? I'm thinking of selling both of my MK7s (saloon and tourer) and buying an MK8 because I would prefer an auto!

Kevin I've installed xcarlink bluetooth device in my car and it works brilliantly. This is what I've got. http://www.xcarlink.co.uk/product.php?productid=302&cat=3&page=1 I hope it helps.

I've got a 07 plate diesel Tourer Sport in sky blue colour. Its got 165k and I've got it for peanuts so planning to drive it at least during sprint/summer (would make carrying kids bikes to parks etc.. much easier task). I'll decide whether to keep it or sell after summer. Besides servicing is...

Brian once again thanks for helping me out! I just ran the build-in diagnostics as you had suggested and I think we've the root cause! Sensor 10 is returning "Er"! These are the other reading while car was parked in the drive-way! 01 - 31 02 - 22 03 - returned nothing 04 - 45 05 - 31 06 - C9 07...

Brian I can't thank you enough for the amazing breakdown you've provided at the beginning of this thread. I've got 7th gen diesel Accord and air con stopped working on it. Took it to a local air con specialist and he advised me the compressor clutch wasn't working. Used your thread to work out...

Hi Fahad, I had the intake manifold cleaned out. I've ordered the valve. How do I blank the EGR? Are there any instructions on this forum?
