Apart from a dead cell in the battery, you can trace the fault back to a dodgy connection somewhere.

And, it's arrived. Fitting tomorrow.

OK, this is the part, should be arriving Wednesday. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334314381600

The Servisol 10 electrical spray no longer provides more than a few days respite so a cheap TPS is on its way. I will take pictures of the fitting and the old one's condition once in place.

Can you explain the 'sooty' engine claim ? From what I was supplied by the local Honda dealer a few years back the i-ctdi was one of the best emission powerplants of the 2000s, easily meeting Euro4 , and if maintained with modern fluids, 715/2007, (or Euro 5).

The fuel filter is not that difficult to replace, though you may end up with scraped knuckles. The radiator drain - original item - is a butterfly screw, easily undone by hand and easy to get to without climbing under the car.

Do you live near the coast (or were the older owners) ? It may be damage from road debris, I've seen it on another car where they ran over part of an exhaust system from another vehicle, puncturing the front. Or if in a rural area, fuel theft by drilling a hole.

No V5C transfer then.

Whilst you say the car is unmodified. has it had a different generator fitted ? I found my diesel replacement came with a smaller pulley and so the serpentine is very close (exceedingly) to the return run up top. I kept the old alternator in case I find marks on the outside but that is the...

There are plenty of threads here regarding foglight issues. Good luck.

It's more to do with fluid in the caliper that has been subjected to high temperatures. All contaminants will char and settle in the chamber. Since you have replaced the pads then the capacity reduces considerably but the same amount of debris remains, bleeding will still show clean. Quickly...

I've mentioned before. Get one of these, take the caliper off the ***embly, remove pads and (with the brake reservoir cap off) , squeeze as hard as you can until the piston is fully retracted. All the debris in the pipes should now be in minute pieces and most will be in the reservoir which can...

Just read. RIP. You can bebuild her though......

A hiss ? Were you in traffic ? Check for yoghurt on the dipstick tomorrow.

Good to see recycling in motion. I read your posts and thought you had a 2006 model and so didn't pursue your tales of woe in detail. Which car have you had to relegate to ?

Let her drive from now on.

Is everything within the air intake system standard ? Standard (clean) air filter and all plastics in place and sealing ?

And,,,,,, paid the premium, though only for the Tourer since the multicarwas still nearly £100 more than the two separates. At least I get to accvrue NCDs separately and fully comp gives me access to third party on other vehicles.

Update. One day to go and NFU are close to the existing pemium of my existing broker. I can't believe i've spent nearly five hours on the mobile and another two sending imagery to prove the cars are legitimate.

Not 8th gen but the tourer has had two spots on the bonnet ever since I had her. I'm sure the last owner had a knock on the LHS , the radiator mount, headlight and fittings are testament.
