Ha ha, not with a cutting disc :-D Gonna try Coca Cola next

Thanks for the tips guys, greatly appreciated :) I've played about with degreaser and tried again machine polishing, it's not great, but much better than before

Hi guys, My awesome new neighbour, who's car engine ran away a few weeks ago, it pumped a lot of crap out of its exhaust, smoke everywhere, sunlight disappearing, etc, covered my cars exterior and interior in oil (as my sunroof was fully open). I've managed to get the oil smell out of the car...

Highest mileage I've had on a car by a long way

Cheers guys! This car is weird, she got her long trip down to Kent, sat in ashford train station for a week, no issues for the 200 miles on way there or 200 miles back and is running spot on and is ready for its normal short work commute duties this week. Only thing to note is the torque...

I love mine, but it's had it's fair share of problems. My old man had one from nearly new for around 12 years whilst growing up and I sort of wished I bought his. Mines coming up to a years worth of ownership, MOT booked for 10th December so fingers crossed. I love the way it drives and I love...

Hia guys, Appear to be having slight gearbox issues. There is an occasional grind with a huge thud going into reverse which goes away if I quickly go to neutral and re-engage reverse. Looking at the fluid there are metal shavings, not alot but some quite big - some being about 2 to 3mm in size...

Cornering is spot on, I used to have an Astra Coupe - fully polybushed, hard shocks, hard springs, whiteline rear anti roll bar, fat expensive tyres and my standard 17 year old Accord isn't far off.

Model/Spec: 6th Gen 2.0 Executive Year: 1999 Mileage: 106,000 How long owned: 8 months Problems you've had: A few, mainly wear and tear: - New ignition parts (coil, leads, rotor arm, sparks, dizzy cap) due to low power and poor fuel economy - New front springs, due to snapped drivers side...

In that case, don't think I would bother helping...

Vtec kicked in yo?

Gents, There is a horrible lean to the drivers side of the car. I've just changed both the front springs as the drivers side snapped. New springs levelled the height nicely but now there is a 10mm difference and 15 t0 20mm with drivers weight (of 16 stone :blush:). The lean was there before...

Done, and 15mm higher! B)

Have you changed the ignition parts? Made a big difference on my old girl

I think I did it a few months ago when a lorry forced it's way onto my side of the road and i hit a large pot hole because of it but have only just noticed it when there was a horrible creak. The car itself was owned by an older gent from new, he was 80 when he sold the car on, so dont think it...

Springs came, passenger side is fitted, broken drivers side has defeated me The top bolt of the shock fork is a stubborn *******. Wouldn't come off with a breaker bar and has twisted and bent the extension for it, ******. I've given up incase I shear the bolt, so chickened out and booked into...

No, the engine doesn't react at all, only difference is the lovely cold air B) Mine has climate control, not sure if that differs from yours or it affects anything?

Theres no difference in performance on my 2.0

Cheers guys, glad to hear they are easy to fit :D I'm stuck between 2 different ones at the minute One has the dimensions - length 401mm, outer diameter 100mm and coil thickness of 12.75 The other is exactly the same but the length is 392mm I'm not too fussed about ride height and would...

Thought Honda's were reliable? :lol: What do you guys recommend as a decent budget make for replacement? Also do you guys also recommend replacing both the front springs in pairs? I will be changing it myself so any tips would be appreciated. I've fitted lowering springs to previous cars so...
