    Poor radio reception

    Yes like most guys have said, it's the ballasts transmitting radio frequencies that are swamping your aerial. I don't get this, but discovered it recently when tuned to a very weak signal and turning on the lights - I get more white noise - i.e hiss. This is probably due to their manufacture and...

    7th gen facelift flat wiper retrofit

    hey, don't mean to pee on someone's parade but not sure I understand what all the fuss is about, were we of the opinion that to go down the flat wiper blade route we needed the new wiper arm from a FL Accord?

    Tarry deposit by injector on cylinder head

    hmm, not sure about not coding injector. From what I've read they always need coding? Maybe someone else can confirm/deny. Re: leaks, why don't you just leave your accoustic hood off for now so you'd be able to see/feel at a glance if there's any blow back?

    Do they al fail?

    John, just to add, remember as with all forums/web site reviews etc. people only really report when they have a problem and seek advice to get it sorted. As with all products that people own, if they have a problem with it they've got to report it to see what or if there is a fix for it. A lot...
