try posting a web link, picture orhow about changing font size, colour etc ? good luck ;)

i was just about to post that all the editors have now gone too :(.. it pretty much imposible to use the site on my phone now and on any PC!

its your alternator starting to go. look for a thread I posted in the DIY section of how to do a diesel aux belt and alternator. same clicky noise as my alternator had before it started screaming .

could possibly be your alternator starting to play up. do you have the short AUX belt ?

TBH if its slipping under hard changes / harsh acceleration, change your driving style and make the clutch last longer ;) DONT go down the SMF option, a friend has a SMF on his deisel *** and it sounds hiddeous.. very rattly and compleatly ruined a fairly good engine / refinement. Im looking...

its a real shame you wrote that whole ebay ad in SHOUTY CAPS. edit the description and remove caps and you have a nice ad there :)

he drives up to leeds every month.. and commutes + other driving so i would presume its in the region of 9k a year

Im tempted to chop in the deisel Saloon and get an estate (possibly petrol) as now our 2nd kiddy is almost ready to see the light of day, i may need a slightly bigger boot and a roof rack for holidays!

ok fair enough.... when was your dizzy replaced ? a poor spark wont ignite the fuel as efficiently which will cause a drop in fuel consumption. have you checked you spark plug gaps ? HT leads. there is a lot of things that vary fuel consumption... and the worst is actually driving

hmm you cant just say £15 of fuel = 50 miles... not very accurate.. lets say fuel in your area is £1.319 per liter.. so: £15/£1.319 = 11.372 Liters = around 2.45 Gallons your car does say 25mpg (around town.. its cold etc).. so 2.45Gallons.. @25mpg = 61 miles from '£15' no considering...

if you want to stay with honda: http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201302055200337/sort/default/usedcars/price-to/500/model/accord/make/honda/onesearchad/used/onesearchad/nearlynew/onesearchad/new/postcode/po124bh/radius/1500/page/1/quicksearch/true?logcode=p

John, (my friend who has had the string of xantias) chose them because it was the cheapest diesel car he could find with a hatch boot.... pretty much simple as that! The Xantia is an old 2.0 diesel turbo lump and its really not 'that' bad., Everyone he has had has never failed an MOT due to...

was this warning light in the shape of an engine by any chance ? you need to tell us what warning light it was as for all we know you could have just left the handbrake on. if the engine light came on, you where VERY brave to drive the car if the oil light came on, you may have killed the...

cheap motoring is nothing like what you mention. A friend at work buys citreon xantia's.. buys them for about £200, uses the car till it literaly gives up and buys another for £200. whilst i have known him, hes been through 3 xantias in 7 years.. so in total £600 for 3 cars where he has NEVER...

if you want to keep the car then i would advise the following: 1) take the engine to a decent engineering company who would be able to re cut the seat for the injector (hopefully leaving the cover on the engine) .... we are talking like 1/2 - 1mm cut 2) get the hole for the securing bolt...

the injector seat needs to be re cut and a slightly deeper brash washer needs to be used.

so the short but sweet answer is.... yes you can plumb a boost gauge in.... but you would have spent money more wisely getting a oil temp gauge

sorry but whats the point?. our VVT wont show boost like a normal turbo.... max boost will be reached almost instantly and it will just hold steady until you change gear. due to the variable vains in the turbo that are able to change their position to allow the air to be sped up on to the main...

glad my how to helped Dom

thanks :). I have fittex HID's to all models and tbh the bumper off method takes around 20 minutes longer but is a much neater job. I will drop you a pm with my phone number if you need ***istance :)
