When I first went to view my Sport, I noticed the headlights had started to go yellow and discoloured. They were nothing compared to some Mk6 Accords I had been to see previously that week, but none the less I still wanted them like new! So I bought a Meguiars Headlight restoration kit off...

Quick update. It was a nightmare! A total nightmare! 6 hours.... loads of sweat and swearing teamed with bruises, scraps and scuff, I got there in the end. It was all extremely rotten because the links were the originals. The main problem I had was that everything was rusted up, so I had to cut...

I was looking at a stainless steel 4-2-1 manifold and downpipe... but I was having a closer look at the standard one and it looks like a 4-2-1 setup. The manifold is 4 pipes leading to the downpipe which is 2 pipes and that leads into the single pipe flexi joint. So are there benefits from...

That's like putting warm water into your sump.

I put in 1.9ltrs like the handbook says. Is that correct or has the amount been updated?

Yea that's what I went with.

What oil is the best choice for the Manual Transmission? I've noticed the gears can be a little crunchy and when driven hard the gearstick get warm. Usually the sign of oil well past its sell by date. Any help much appreciated. Joe

Honda service history that came with my car states 5w30 magnatec from 2008 onwards .... eek... apparently that's what Bedford Honda put in them as standard.

That's good to know. The only reason I got mobil1 is because it was on offer in halfrauds. 20£ for 5ltrs

I had mine done today. Both belts (cambelt kit), tensioners, aux belts, water pump and type 2 coolant change. £400 all in.

Changed the oil. Went for 10w40 Mobil super 2000 and a genuine oil filter. Much better!

On the other hand I rang Honda today and they priced 5 litres type 2 at only 20£.

I have noticed it's a little noisier with it in. I'm going to change it tomorrow.

Very true. I'm having cambelt etc changed on Wednesday so I don't want the garage to put naff fluid in it.

Does it really make that much difference? I'm not being sarcastic.

I've used a Mann oil filter and the and book recommends 5w30. I rang my local Honda dealer and they said they just put castrol 5w30 fully in it at service.

The Honda fluid is green I know that much.

It tends to work in most applications!

I didn't know there was an equivalent spec aftermarket antifreeze.

Well I've soaked them in wd40 to help the situation and I'll continue to soak them for the next couple of evenings. I'll try to take them off as normal but if not.... angle grinder.... swearing....and a large hammer!
