    Lights go dim

    Hi guys, I have have noticed a strange problem with my car headlights. I noticed that when driving they went dim but when I revved the engine they went bright again however when I revved the engine again they went back to dim! The problem can be repeated easily so it's not an intermittent...

    Timing chain or not?

    2004 / 143,000miles I really didnt want to scrap it so I am happy to pay the 1k to get it fixed. Even Honda customer services spoke highly of Holdcroft Honda when I told them where it was being fixed. They said it is one of their best!

    Timing chain or not?

    Got it booked in at HH for this Thursday. They quoted me around £1000 with the discount so hopefully it will be sorted by end of Thursday, fingers crossed! Still awaiting news if Honda will cover any of the cost but I doubt it.

    Timing chain or not?

    Well I will call them first thing tomorrow and try to get the same done. Did they also replace the oil pump chain too for the £1000? Cheers for all your support guys!

    Timing chain or not?

    It includes a new set of injectors as they said they have to replace them if doing this job. Lol they did say it was discounted from £3000! needless to say I will be looking for an alternative source of repair. Anyone know a good Honda mechanic either in London or Sheffield? (i'm originally...

    Timing chain or not?

    So the quote from Global Engines has come back to me at £650 all inclusive of parts and labour. That sounds really cheap to me so I am now thinking is it too good to be true? What do you guys think? Here is their web address SID Global Engines Has anyone had any experience with these guys...

    Timing chain or not?

    So I got the news from Honda and they have confirmed there is "some slight noise" from the timing chain. The guy told me that these engines get louder as they age but it is not a good sign if the chain is making some noise. He did tell me that it doesn't mean it will break but that it is a...

    Timing chain or not?

    Well it has 0w30 in there right now but I dont know what the previous owner used as the service book was not present. However, as it turns out, it was bought from Chiswick Honda so they gave me most of the service history details as it was done by them. but the last two three years it is unknown...

    Timing chain or not?

    I have read all the other posts on this subject and I am still unsure what a "normal" CTDI sounds like :S I will take it to Honda this week to get their opinion on it. It is a 2004 Ctdi Sport with 142k on the clock so a prime candidate for chain-itis :( . Will post more after seeing what...

    Timing chain or not?

    Hi All, This is my second post here regarding my 2004 2.2CTDI sport. The engine seems fine in terms of pull and fuel economy etc however, there is a noise coming from the engine bay that somehow sounds wrong. I have done some research about this and I think it could either be the timing...
