    Is FHSH important?

    To be fair though, driveshafts aren't part of a dealer service. If they're going to go they're going to go, irrelevant of if the car is serviced or not.

    Is FHSH important?

    As a seller, it depends on the age of your car as to how important full dealer main history is. As cars age there comes a point where there's not much difference in value between a car with naff all service history and one with full main dealer. It's going to vary from individual car to...

    Engine conversion to a 2.2

    I think he's talking about the fun 2.2, so no not a diesel ;) :lol: The H22A swap won't cost the world providing you have time and space on your hands, and you're handy with your tools. Don't do what I did and leave your car on your parents driveway for 3 years whilst putting off finishing the...

    Buy a car with multiple repairs on engine?

    I don't know how long the average turbo would last on one of these engines, but 100k miles doesn't seem like a very long life - could this be indicative of the car being treated poorly?

    I say go for it! I'm colour coding mine to the bodywork of the car at some point.

    Someone who know about honda stream?

    I'm only teasing about the driving matey, it all comes with experience and she'll get there :) When I first got my licence aged 17 I kept stalling my Audi all the time as I had learnt to drive in a little diesel Vauxhall which was much more forgiving :lol: Glad you're enjoying the stream...

    Someone who know about honda stream?

    I've driven a couple taken in p/x, I like them and would buy one if I found one for the right price. They seem to command a bit of a premium though for their age, I guess it's their rarity? They move quite quickly for what they are which is quite nice. I seem to recall reading that they were the...

    How much oil?

    When measuring the oil level on the dipstick I usually go for 50-75% of the way up the marked area. That way you know there's no chance of overfilling it. As long as the oil is above minimum then your sorted, and oil is a weekly check so there shouldn't be any worries about it dipping back under...

    Petrol Gauge Light ?

    Just had a look at the above link, it is number 7. Replace the bulb on that mate and you should be on to a winner :)

    Petrol Gauge Light ?

    Looks like the fuel warning light should be a square symbol to the left of the car diagram for the door open warning, below the auto gear indicator lights

    Seatbelt alarm questions

    Have a look under your seat to check that all the relevant plugs are connected - I usually do the opposite when I get a new car and unplug the sensor to get rid of the warning light :lol:

    fuel leak!

    I've skim read this (sorry) but is there a banjo bolt connecting the fuel hose the the fuel rail? If there is and you undid it, did you replace the crush washers afterwards? They usually **** out petrol if you don't. Just a thought.

    honda accord spoiler

    It's kind of a similar look to the Mugen spoilers on the Preludes in sitting so far back, which I kind of like. I imagine you could mount it wherever you liked though.

    Petrol Gauge Light ?

    I'm guessing the coupes will be similar to the saloons/hatches, where the bulbs are in holders in the rear of the instrument cluster. There should definitely be a low fuel light on a car that age, so I'd guess your bulb has blown!
