My workmate is also my neighbour, so he will give me a lift without any problem. So, I will take a reading later on, then tomorrow evening when I come back from work, see how much of the different in between. Err......engine has to be running when taking the reading? The pins should touch the...

I borrowed a voltmeter from work, but my battery is charging by a charger, should I test it now?

I got this white steamish smoke right after I serviced my car on Sunday, but it doesn't stay long, couple mins max and disappeared, perhaps the temperature is cold The belt is very firm, can only press down for about 1cm by my thumb, I could hear a very gentle "veeeeeee" if I put my head...

Holy crap if that's the real problem :( How much for an alternator? DIY fitting? My workmate asked me why the alternator spinning slowly when we were doing the jump start? Should it be spin faster?

Good news! I managed to arrive home! I notice that the electricity is more alive if the rev is 2k or higher, so I told myself "fuk that, let's do it" I was driving the whole way with 4th gear and 50mph, radio off, heating off, only the dip beam on (very dim). And I rev the engine when I need...

I didn't see any old documents from previous owners mentioned of new battery, so I guess it's 8 years old shortly

I don't have a multi meter as I'm not an electrician and don't know how to use it :( I did bought the RING battery charger with 8 amp, which more than enough to charge this battery. It had been plugged since 15:00, and the indicator just shown fully charged 10 mins ago, so disconnect...

Do they fit properly? Otherwise, it's a good found mate

Do you suggest that I need a new battery then?

Owned this car almost 2 weeks, always straight start without any problem, so time for DIY full service. I carried out the work yesterday which followed the guide from the tutorial, the most difficult and frustrated part was the fuel filter, it located awkwardly behind the engine. From the start...

I've done it for my fiancee's rusty Ford Ka 5 years ago, but I used spray and brush both. Just had a quick look and the Honda quality seems very good, very little of rust can been seen at the usual spots, not bad for a 06 vehicle :)
