    Suspension bushes

    Had front upper suspension arm flagged at mot couple of years ago, found it easier to replace whole part than change the bushes in it, cheaper too. ***** of a job though, bolts are really hard to access. MOT is January, so did it in the cold. Don't have a garage so wouldn't want to do it this...

    Automatic transmission fluid

    Yes, definitely drive it in between fills, won't do any harm and is the only way the new fluid gets circulated.

    Automatic transmission fluid

    Yep, a fluid change will do it a world of good. I had a Volvo T5 automatic and the gearbox was a known issue if you didn't change the fluid, even though Volvo said the gearbox fluid was for the life of the car. And it was very hard to do a total replacement so did 30% at a time, 3 times. Seemed...

    Automatic transmission fluid

    Did my manual at@160k (bought it with 150k on it ) not too hard of a job and not as much fluid for the manual. You need to source new sealing washers beforehand, I needed 3 different ones if I remember correctly. The old fluid didn't look too bad anyway. Just undid the drain bolt and it all came...

    Tourer rear Brake change

    Similar to this: You have to rotate the disc to where the cog is behind it. Probably not in the same place as the picture on a Honda.

    Altenator

    I looked at @ £200 for a new one off ebay and £50 for fitting at a garage so sounds okay, new pulley and belt is a bonus, but I'd go for a new one personally.

    Winter or all-season tyres for G7 Tourer?

    Should be a little better with the extra sidewall depth if the correct tyre is fitted. I was running 18" with lower profiles but went back to 17" for more comfort.

    Replacing front upper control arm

    I've done them on my 2010 8th gen. If I was doing it again I would probably check the position of the upper arm as it lies before starting and replicate it whilst tightening the 2 bolts that secure it to the chassis. Those bolts are very awkward to get at so I would move the shock out of the...

    Steering Wheel Judder

    That could solve the problem but is probably the most expensive and time consuming option to start with. If you know a reputable mechanic/garage maybe book it in to have a check of all the other things it could be. If you are competent enough to change drive shafts then I may be wasting my time...
