Well it’s in and nice and quiet again, my flywheel was totalled looked like it had been locking up then freeing off, but I don’t think I did too badly on the job, I had a LUK flywheel and clutch kit fitted new transmission fluid and while it was in bits I got them to put me a pair of stabiliser...

Cars gone in this morning for the job doing, will post results when I get it back

Yes Dave I had it looked at today and it’s looking like the DMF has had its day, it’s getting done this coming week

Ok I was out in the car this evening and suddenly right out of the blue when I placed my foot on the clutch pedal I got this pulsating/vibrating feeling through the pedal, best way I can describe it is it felt like when you feel the abs kick in on the brake pedal but less violent, the car drives...

Just to see if this is isolated to my car, heres what to do 1 put key in ignition and turn to the main position and while doing this look at your binacle 2 after taking note of what happened (proberbly nothing) turn off and remove the key 3 put the column stick on the left side to the high...

Well after my ignition barrel collapsed several months back I had a locksmith sort it out but the steering lock had to be drilled out, so I got a replacement from a breakers yard the locksmith was supposed to be swapping it over but after several months I gave up on him, so after watching lots...

I had similar thing with mine my HFT is now out and no problems

Yes and it's been there since 2013

Strange the first thing that came into my head was the word "Crooklock" when I read that article I think I am taking the best path on this one

Yes Brian bit of a grey area this one, I have a friend who is a mot tester and he said it would fail on the steering lock, but they don't always check so it's a bit of a risk, not sure on if it's not present as mine is totally gone it had to be drilled out, but I read it somewhere whereas if...

Right lads the job is done the barrel is rebuilt and back in and is nice and smooth, however when the locksmith was dismantling he encountered a problem, the steering lock mechanism was stuck solid as if it had been pushed inside the housing, this proberbly occurred when I pursuaded the key into...

I think I have dealt with that place in Birmingham before Brian I got a high pressure hose from there, anyway I have a auto locksmith coming this evening he is going to rebuild the barrel and do all the necessary work for 100 plus vat, quite a substantial saving on the Honda quote

Yes tried the wd40 and anything else we could get our paws on just had a friend of a friend here who is a ex green flag technician he had a go,at it with the lube and cleaner he got it free but it won't turn, he has put me on to someone who can rebuild it with new wafers, he also told me that he...

Don't know who makes the Honda ones but I rang Honda for a price, they quoted me £458 for the barrel plus £90 to fit and another £50 to code it up, plus I have to go there with ID and the V5 to order it and when it comes I can't take it away they have to fit it, oh and even more £££ as I have to...

Ok I went to the car this morning and when I tried to put the key in the ignition it was very tight, with some wiggling and a bit of effort it eventually went in but I cannot turn it to start the car, I have been told the barrel may have collapsed inside, so I am now waiting for a auto locksmith...
