I have had good experiences with Pagid pads.

If I were in your shoes, I would get a genuine Filter and replace asap. That way if it happends again, the FF is ruled out.

^^Well done Matt. Very rewarding when you DIY jobs like this

On the rears, you do need to push in the piston at the same time as you rotate it clockwise. Best to use a windback tool as this makes it much easier to twist and push in at the same time. As mentioned above, avoid using copper grease. Use ceratec grease - more friendly with rubber covers...

Wire brush all parts as mentioned above, then spray a coating of stone chip shield over to protect - Obviously avoid rubber covers etc. I have done this to all my cars. Keeps them looking new.

Jack the car up and check for movement on the joints. Grab the wheel at 12 and 6, wobble, 9 and 3 and wobble. There should be no movement. Could be lower ball joint - if it is this you want to get it replaced quickly - if it fails whilst driving, can be very dangerous.

These are common to fail. The part itself is reasonable from Honda - I would use genuine parts for this. Old bush needs to be pressed out, then new part pressed in. in. No more than 45 minutes a side I would guess. I need to do this on the CRV soon, just waiting for the weather to clear up.

Does sound a little on the steep side. This is what made me get into servicing and maintaining my own cars. The money I would have spent on labour, I spend on tools, I gain the knowledge, experience and it adds something different to my week. If you examined my car, you would be hard pushed...

DIY mate. Strip the caliper down, clean, grease and put back together. Don't ignore it. Last thing you want is the disc warping.

Just sounds like you need to replace the droplink. DIY Is possible on this one. I would change all of them TBH with quality aftermarket parts.

Go for the highest you can find

Looks like that is the part^^. Looks quite straightforward to DIY. I would recommend using a decent brand or you may find yourself changing them again.

You may be a victim of this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-25234840 I would get the fuel filter changed immediately.

I have one. £15 posted to you.

^+1 Well done mate. Its a great feeling fixing something yourself, top work!

All the best Colin. Nice to have had you around. Do pop in from time to time.

Mine got picked by customs. Charged me £18 something i think. I swear they just pluck figures out the air...

you may have a bit of a headache getting the sensor off. When mine went, I had to drill the thing out.

Been using lukewarm water for years. Never had any problems. Just make sure you get the wipers going quickly before the water turns to ice again.
