    Check System

    Yes to add, all your warning lights should light up/flash when your turn ignition on. This is a bulb test and used by MOT checkers to make sure there are no errors with say your ABS. I know this as my CRX once failed for this, which was a fauly ABS sensor.

    Headlights bulbs blowing

    HasD, If I were you, considering your cars history with bulbs, I'd get a autoelectrician to do a health test on your alternator, but first make sure all connections to the battery are clean and solid, check the earth bonding strap to your chassis. Any connections that are loose can cause voltage...

    Anyone fitted facelift wiper arms to a pre facelift

    I bought some aero design (Goodyear) I think from Costco and am very happy with them. They do occasionally miss a bit of the windscreen [drivers side] say when it's very mucky but on the whole, well pleased. No lift at high speed etc. I've a prefacelift BTW :-)

    Blowing Fuses

    Louis, TBH I can't see it being the reverse switch, as all your doing when with switch is closed is grounding that switch which completes the circuit. Must be water getting in somewhere to cause a short. *EDIT* just re-read your post. 7 amps for all these accessories is not right and...

    Well I was hoping for a bit more than this.....

    I've with Dan on this, 10psi wow, yeah that WILL make a difference. Agree with all the other comments too, combined it won't help. See what your next tank does.... Good luck I know you said it was serviced 3000 miles ago, but maybe it's me, but I'd check the state of the air filter......

    remap, how much quicker?

    how much quicker? lets just say it's like removing the five bags of blue circle from your boot. There are loads of us who have the remap and not one of us has had any problem re warping manifold.

    Committed Mortal Sin

    My wife done this last year and drove it further, also took me longer to drain it, so petrol was in the system far longer than you and I've not noticed any ill effects. I know what you mean though, you start looking for odd things, thinking the worst. Power surge 2000 + rpm? that's your turbo...

    Pinking

    like others have said, noise/rattles in cars are very subjective. I have noticed with this engine it's certainly has more 'diesel rattle' when outside temp < 3oC until warm, but even when warm there is still a trace...esp recently when local temp have been as low as -12oC !

    Diesel smell in cabin

    Not sure John, for me anyhow. I got my dealer to check mine cause I thought I caught a whiff, but they'd (claimed) check it and found it ok. Still 9 months later I was under the bonnet and I could smell it. Never noticeable in the cabin though.....

    Diesel smell in cabin

    I seriously doubt it's the gas heater, no manufacturer let alone Honda would allow exhaust fumes knowingly into the cabin. I'd get it checked out again.....at a different dealer if required...
