    8th Gen Tourer Ex Sloppy Handling?

    What could be worth checking are rear shocks I had mine checked by dealer when I bought the car at 50k ish, they said they were fine but when I took them off they were kippered See if someone you trust can look them over I think my car has had a hard life and not looked after so this might...

    8th Gen Tourer Ex Sloppy Handling?

    Sorry can't remember the cost now as I fitted a few bits I think coilovers were about £650? You'd need rear arms which are approx £150 or you won't be able to get a good neutral set up that won't wear rear tyres Also a full set up from specialist If you can fit yourself it'll save a few quid...

    8th Gen Tourer Ex Sloppy Handling?

    I've gone from 7th to 8th tourer and found the same I've gone for BC coilovers Just because they're coilovers doesn't mean rock hard ride for track days Mine is set up a bit firmer than std but rebound turned up and now the cornering is spot on For me it's how it should have been in the...

    Top service from Marshall Honda York.

    My views with Marshall Harrogate and York are jokers, last communication with York wasn't good for me as manager never returned my calls about damage to my rear wing and about the front bumper that was damaged and painted without telling me to cover up I'll never be using these garages again...

    New clutch and dmf yet still juddering

    I think it's just my bad luck with my car to be honest as have had very poor service from the Marshall group also in Harrogate and York. I'm going to Kendal for next service as they've always been good

    New clutch and dmf yet still juddering

    Hmmm Newcastle On my old car I took it there as clutch slipping, they said it was fine. Took it to another dealer who changed it as completely gone. Thought I'd try Newcastle again for last service and they put wrong oil in my car which has cost me to change to correct one myself I'd just be...

    Twin exit exhaust for 2.2 I-DTEC?

    2.4 buying tip.

    I know what you're saying and agree after having owned this one I guessed 8th gen would be as good as or better than 7th as you'd expect engineering to get better but I got way more from the 7th The 2.2 is a shocker of an engine in my experience of them
