To All, Thanks for all the help I have had on this forum. Given however that I am driving few miles these days I I have been considering a different car for some time now (about 6 months) Today I took the plunge and bought a Vauxhall Ampira to replace my Honda, I hope to pick it up on Monday I...

On vaguely the same subject - does anyone know a cheap and simple method of measuring the soot levels in the DPF. Something that plugs into the OBD2 port and lets me read the value. I am working on something, but it doesn't seem to know about the idtec engine - which may be a problem Does...

Have a look at the fluid - is it burnt or pink I replaced the fluid in my car (Honda) recently at 60K+ miles - and the outgoing fluid was still pink - which I took as a very good sign Note that I am not an expert - I have had two cars with AT and changed fluid on a regular basis. The last car...

Watch out for the airconditioning on the V/S 70's Its made out of chocolate. Not sure if newer ones are better. I had an old one and that failed every 4 years with a significant bill

[Note - I know enough to be dangerous - I am not a mechanic / technician] The answer to your question is - it depends on why you are asking and what you are planning on doing that needs an answer to that question. Unlike the normal engine oil you cannot just change the auto oil as there is a...
