Good job you replied. I thought it was the one on the right... is that transmission?

I don't have a manual, and am generally not much of a mechanic but want to check the brake fluid level. I realise this is going to sound stupid, but which is the brake fluid reservoir in the engine bay? I have looked around and cannot find any pics of the engine bay. When ripping me a new one...

Its quite tight. It was adjusted by the garage as I noticed a difference when I got it back, it doesn't seem to pull back as far as it did. They are a very good garage (not main dealer) but I've been using them for years with no issues, always a good job (and a good price) Thanks for the advice :)

While driving the other day I noticed there console brake light was on. I thought perhaps I hadn't put the hand brake fully down so checked and the light went out. Sorted... I thought. Until this morning while driving it came on again. It went off then on then off and stayed off. Any ideas? I...

I have decided that even though the car starts first time every time I need a new battery. The cold mornings means it won't kickstart the head unit every time. The one fitted is a 60AH with CCA 500. (Honda 2.0 SE Exec W reg) Any recommendations? (price is a consideration but I don't want to...

Brian / Sal I didn't have time yesterday to check the battery yesterday. Did it this morning after the car had been standing on the drive since 6pm last night. Put the meter across the battery before starting this morning and it registered 12.6v. Then turned the lights on and it dropped to 12.1...

Well.... it isn't the aerial. Got up this morning, car started as usual with no problem but stereo was dead. Managed to find the manual which states the stereo will only operate if a full 12V is available. (its a stereo/dvd player/GPS all in one unit running Windows CE6) My thinking is the...

Early days as it's only been a couple of hours but it looks like I'm stuck with a manual aerial until I can afford a new one. Head unit working fine, battery not draining. I'll give it a couple of days to see if the problem raises its head again. If not start saving for a new aerial. Cheers!

Thanks for all your help Brian. I am gonna have one more look then phone for an electrican lol. What has puzzled me is the battery appears okay, it's holding charge and the alternator is charging. The wiring appears to test okay and it just hit me there is one other piece of equipment I had...

Don't have a camera around. The meter is a Fluke 10 http://www.me.umn.edu/courses/me2011/arduino/technotes/FlukeManual.pdf

A straight forward across the terminals with no load gave a reading of 12.97. This seems ever so slightly high. is this okay?

Thanks Brian. I have a cheap meter just clue how to use it (give me a computer and I will fix.repair in no time 0 electrics on cars are double dutch to me) I'll give that a try in the morning. Which setting should the meter be on?

The sound is 'ok' but really needs the 'beef' an amp would give it. Plus it still has the original speakers which could do with updating. Its not the battery. I have just had it charging for 30 mins of a charger with both the stereo and the harness disconnected. Charged up, started and took it...

Kept the bose sub/amp but they are not connected. Bit of an update. I left the battery charging while the stereo was out and no problem, it charged up. Rather than mess about putting the double din back in I though I would try a single din JVC unit I had. Plugged it in it worked no problem. As...

Hi I have just had my Double Din Chinese Head unit replaced as the radio module had stopped working. I have fitted the new one and everything worked fine. That is until the next day when I got in to the car and there was no power to the unit. Resetting it did nothing. I had to take the unit...

W - 2000 They have said it could just be seizing?

I have to replace two tyres... no problem. The other jobs are - Offside rear Anti-roll linkage has excessive play in a ball joint Nearside Anti-roll bar linkage fractured Nearside Rear Parking brake recording little or no effort Parking brake efficiency below requirements Can anyone give...

Just had it in the garage. As it went in for MOT as well they tested the emissions which were spot on and passed, they say that means the o2 sensor itself is switching and should not be glugging fuel or it would have shown. They suggest it is the heater part. I am going to need to drive this...

Honda just quoted my £229 to have the front sensor fitted..is that about right? (especially when so many people say it might not be the sensor itself)

Thank you. Driving wise it seems fine, although I am a little suspicious that it used more juice on the way back tonight although that could be my imagination. Its just I cant get it in to a garage until Thursday but need to drive it to Ormskirk tomorrow (50 mile round trip) and can't afford a...
