The vent pipe is not going to be open ended. It's likely it will have a pressure release vale on it. But as said you're worrying over nothing, it's completely normal.

If you think you may have water in the cylinder the first time you turn it over leave the spark plugs out. That way the water will get blown out and not bend the bottom of your engine.

Every one of my car has done this. It's more prominent the emptier the tank gets. You're worrying over nothing!! The fuel tank pulls a vacuum due to the suction of the fuel pump. The air pressure difference between the inside and outside of the tank is incredibly small, but due to the size of...

The Intake Manifold Runner Control (IMRC) solenoid is on the intake manifold it's around the butterfly valve.

Sounds like a good result. At least you were able to isolate the problem to an area of your car before handing it to the electrician, that in itself was a good achievement. Sometimes electrical problems can take hours for even a qualified electrician to find.

If I were you I think I'd be buying a cover to put over my car while it's in the car park.

Maurice's, it sounds like your breakdown problem were all due to a big soot build up from having 140k miles on his car. 40 mile trips are mYou don't have any hesitation or flat spot issues so a good clean out of the butterfly valve, EGR valve and exhaust manifold should see you good for another...

The spray booth should be sealed and ventilated with adequate filters. If your car is being covered in paint in the car park there is a serious environmental laws which are being broken. Considering your company deals with spraying I'm sure they would have technicians who are more than capable...

Sounds like the monkeys at the tyre shop just tightened the carp out of them with an air gun instead of doing the job properly with a torque wrench.

Why did you only change one front spring, why didn't you change them as a pair? When replacing suspension components they should always be done in pairs.

All the interior lights are on fuse 6.

I would have to disagree with diesels being the future of car tuning. The market is moving away from big family cars to small city cars. Most new popular cars are small city cars with petrol engines designed to meet low emissions regulations. Manufacturers have now realised that putting a small...

If you want a car for 'driving' with performance and a usable rev range then buy a petrol. If you want economy and high mpg's buy a diesel. You can't have it both ways. Diesels don't rev and if you're trying to tune one clearly economy, high mpg's, and reliability are going to suffer as they're...

That seems rather bad in the fact it covers the entire surface, not just specific areas.

The more piping you put on there and the bigger the intercooler the more turbo lag you're going to get.

Or duct tape your children's hands together, problem solved. :D

The spare pulley is removed completely. The Honda instructions for fitting it even has a nice diagram to show the technician how to throw it in the bin. I think if you go to Honda they only offer the shorter belt now anyway. If you give them your chassis number or reg number they will know...

As with most things in life you get what you pay for. The previous owner of my car fitted them cheap £15 sensors in my car and 6 months into my ownership both front and rear sensors died. £150 from a main dealer is a good price and they will be guaranteed to last a lot longer being from Honda...

If it blinds you at night why don't you just change the settings so the screen dims automatically when you turn the lights on? As you said you don't use the sat nav very much anyway and you only have to press the ok if and when you want to use it. If you only want to use the radio or heater...

The standard 3 year service is oil and brake fluid change. As the 3 year service was the 1st service the car had in my ownership I changed all fluids and filter (air filter, pollen filter, oil + filter, fuel filter, gearbox oil, coolant, brake fluid) which was far more than would have been done...
