Hi Has anyone any experience with the clear film offered to protect the front of bonnets? I have a low mileage CR V finished in Premium white and there is already a few minor chips in evidence. I have looked at the plastic bonnet covers but they tend to spoil the looks of the car ( and I am not...

Thanks for your comments guys, I meant to add that if there is anyone out there looking for an immaculate , low mileage ( 21k) ESGT in silver there will be one available very soon at Honda shrewsbury. I have been waiting to have my plates transferred to the CRV and as of this morning (Friday)...

:rolleyes: Hi guys following my problems with my DPF I decided to change direction and move back to a petrol car. I looked at 2.4 ex which was very nice and also 2.0 VTEC models but neither turned up in the condition / price range required. I then turned my thoughts towards a CR V which I have...

Thanks for info guys, I had a look at the car on Saturday and it is a great looking car (Milano red) but a closer look revealed a number of chips on the body - too many . I am too fussy I know. I doubt I will be going ahead with the deal. The inside looked a bit tired too. On the cycling...

Hi guys I am currently running a 2009 ESGT DTEC manual and having only recently been made aware of the problems with the DPF ( I do a lot of very short runs) I am considering swapping to a 2009 2.4 vtec petrol EX auto. What are the members opinions on the proposed car compared to my DTEC manual...

Dealer took my car in today and after downloading the necessary information to send to HUK, they did another regen. This was to return the car back to full power whilst they order the replacement DPF. I am now awaiting the filter which they say should come in a couple of days. I just hope that...

Hi Saj, long time no speak! Great looking car, what a shine and this before detailing?!! Mike c

Hi guys Tracing this thread back to 2 feb you will see that the dpf light came on and my local dealer did a forced regen. Today less than a month later it reappeared. As mentioned I do a lot of short runs and this is obviously not helping. I have contacted the dealer again and they are having it...

I don't understand what you mean by a dpf delete is this something the owner can do or is it a techy type job. The dealer did the forced regen today and the warning light has disappeared. I am back to full power again. The dealer has said that if the light returns he will get the dpf replaced...

Hi guys the dreaded light has come back on again tonight (strangely enough I was on the way to my local dealer to look at the new Civic). The service manager has booked the car in for a regen on Monday and he says he will take a digital note of the situation so that if , after the regen the...

The car went into the dealer on Monday and they kept it until Tuesday lunch time. They say that a bung had become dislodged which was the source of the leak. They replaced this bung and have checked it for ingress. They had all the boot trim out ( broke a few plastic buttons in the process ) and...

Having tried to locate the source of the leak using a number of the members suggestions I have still to resolve the problem. At one point I thought the problem had disappeared as no water ingress took place for a few weeks , despite torrential rain and many car washes. But last Sunday before...

My dpf warning light came on a few months ago, just after a service. My car had only done around 18k at the time and having never heard of this system before I immediately stopped and got manual out of the glove box to find out what was wrong. The book explained the meaning of the warning light...

Well guys, I think I am convinced that sf is a good thing and I will start looking at getting an applicator and research an appropriate sf. Thanks for all your help. What a brilliant forum type accord is!
