    8th generation vibration

    I had this problem and eventually found it to be the rear tyres. I replaced them and the car was then silky smooth. The weird thing was you would swear blind the vibrations were from the front not the rear. I'd take the tyres back and pay the extra cash for some better tyres I'm sure the smooth...

    Anyone written to Honda UK reagrding DPF?

    I've actually been turning the ignition off any way as I was jealous of the cars with stop start technology :rolleyes: I found it increased mpg by 2-3 mpg so is definitely worth doing. Maybe thats why I've never had any DPF problems and do under 11k a year?

    Anyone written to Honda UK reagrding DPF?

    As its got full Honda Service so in theory it should of had the correct oil used. I would start with Honda and see what they say. Point out that its only ever been to Honda so the the DPF shouldnt be failing. Are you journeys long enough to get the DPF to do a regen anyway? The DPF MUST have...

    this is going to hurt the pocket..

    Call up several Honda dealers asking for their best price and try to haggle them down. Most dealers are just franchised so you should be able to negotiate a little. At least by getting it done at a Honda dealer if it will be done right and hopefully last another 143k.

    DPF problems again

    Just because the stamp is missing doesn't mean Honda haven't done it. Mine was missing a stamp but a simple call to the dealer proved it had actually been done. The books now stamped too. I'm only doing 10k a year and had no problems with the Dpf in the 14 months of ownership but that's not to...

    GT Front spoiler

    £365! plus Delivery :o They would look good though :D The rear end of a Tourer. Im sure a body shop could cut the bumper horizontally under the parking sensors and stick a GT bumper underneath. If I had a head on shot I could Photoshop it to see what it looks like.
