    Tyres/steering

    My facelift 7th is a bit twitchy and sometimes pulls in either direction under braking depending on the road surface.

    Automatic locking

    Must be a saloon thing as my facelift saloon locks itself with the boot open.

    CDTI - Which gear at what speed

    I don't see how it would hurt the clutch if it is not engaged. The clutch plate is only in use if the pedal is engaged. I never labour the engine at 30 mph and if faster acceleration is needed I change down to the appropriate gear.

    CDTI - Which gear at what speed

    I don't see that it would affect the clutch or DMF if the engine is not being made to labour or excessive gear changes are being made.

    Me too, anything under 30 mph the engine starts to labour.

    Buying a 2006 Ctdi ex tomorrow :D

    Sorry to hear that, but probably the best £8.99 you've spent lately. I'd be tempted to waste his time!

    Buying a 2006 Ctdi ex tomorrow :D

    Yeah I know, think he'd spent the money by the following week on nothing? I had a trader willing to offer £6.5k and the garage the carried out the HPI check (which valued it at £8.7k) for me said they would put it on their forecourt at £9.5k. Couldn't believe my luck and still can't. Must admit...

    Buying a 2006 Ctdi ex tomorrow :D

    Not necessarily, as I purchased mine privately CDTI Sport, 06 plate, 38k FHSH, HPI clear for £2500 in March this year. The car needed an MOT & tax plus 3 tyres, also the seller desperately needed the money so this went some way to him accepting the price paid.

    Buying a 2006 Ctdi ex tomorrow :D

    Hi sounds like a good buy. I have a 06 facelift CDTI sport which has all the revised areas you mentioned (no satnav though), so it's not just the 56 plate cars that have these updates.

    1st Gear Problem

    Yeah that's fair enough. Was this something that was originally done under warranty?

    1st Gear Problem

    Thanks for the fast response. I take it the Honda UK websiteHonda UK would not give the same info with regards to the VIN as this is more for recalls?

    1st Gear Problem

    Hi chaps As the ***le suggest I have an issue with 1st gear. I know the there is an issue with the gear box on 7th Gen cars with it popping out of 1st gear. This isn't a big issue as it doesn't happen all the time, but when it does it is usually whilst in traffic. It has happened whilst keeping...
