Tyre prices will vary a lot depending on load and speed ratings among other things. I think the 16" is one of the most popular tyre sizes fitted to golfs, focus etc so that makes them a very popular choice and helps keep the prices reasonable. With tyres it is always worth shopping around and...

Thanks Abhi :)

Just downsized to 16" with Goodyear Ultragrip 7 winter tyres. As my drivers door sticker only shows pressures for the 17" rims, was wondering what the standard tyre pressures for the 16 is?

Hi Paddy, I believe this will be a honda specific code, to do with fuel/air/emissions. Quick search on civinfo brings up fuel rail pressure lower than expected. Time for a new Honda fuel filter to start with! Any other problems with the car?

Guys, I was talking to my dealer last week and they made an interesting point. Does the condensation clear quickly once you turn your headlights on? If so then it wouldn't be causing any real problems with headlight brightness.

Iain, it might be worth taking to another dealer and see what they say. When mine was done they sent the claim to Honda before doing any work. I don't know whether they have to send the old chain back or not. I notice a little knock noise just before idling as well. I only noticed this after...

Hi Zeek, I believe my problem was possibly due to the transmission oil change. I'm fairly sure now the Honda dealer used a Castrol oil instead of the Honda oil. The issue was far worse after the work was done. I got my local mechanic to change the oil again this time using Honda MTF and also...

I fitted the electromagnic ones a while ago and I hate them. Can't depend on them at all. Probably the way I've installed them but I followed the guide to the letter.

If theres no diagnostic light on then theres no point running a diagnostics as it won't normally show anything. A fault will stay logged on the system until it is cleared by the computer even if the light goes out on the dash. Some dealers have told me that they do a ecu software update as...

I managed to haggle my local Honda dealer down to £280 for a 75k service. Had a couple of other quotes nearby which helped (the other garages are no longer offical Honda dealers but still on their network for aftersales/servicing). Got oil & filter, coolant, gearbox oil and brake fluid...

This happens in a straight line if you encounter any change on the road surface. We're talking 60mph on a main road, wet or dry. And I've just had to order a set of winter tyres for the car. 5 or 6 times this year, on main roads, I've obviously hit a small patch of frost and the car has...

I like a bit of feedback as well but I just don't like the way the car feels like its slidding over the road surface! I do like the optigrips, have done about 15k on them and theres about 4-5mm on the front. It took about 1,000 miles before they started to grip well enough though. But I do...

PSI is what Honda recommend (think its 33 front and 32 rear). The ride quality is fine, thats not what my problem is. When driving along a main road, if you go over a "join" in the road (i.e. narrow strip of smooth tar) or over a road marking (white lines or road number), the car feels...

Just normal air.

Sorry for yet another tyre post! Can everyone with Pentas post what tyres they are running and how the car feels on the road? I changed from Goodyear GSD3s due to horrendous tramlining. Changed to Goodyear Optigrips, tramlining more or less gone. But they have a real tendancy to be very...

My headlights misted a bit worse than above photo. Dealer had installed clips. Went back and explained they were still misting. Asked me to take a photo of them when bad which they sent to Honda UK and got new headlamps fitted FOC.

Neil, read Alungs first thread very carefully regarding the bulletin info. Honda have very clearly said if the clips don't cure the problem then the car needs new headlights. Its a case of your local dealer either not reading the bulletins or wanting to dig the arm in. I would try another...

Update: Just got a new set of headlights (both) fitted foc yesterday at my local honda dealer. They knew about the extended warranty and had already fitted the clips but the lamps were still misting. All I had to do was take a couple of photos of the lamps when they were bad and email it to...

Thanks John that would be useful!

Mine, a couple of months at the most.
