Wash the car first. Then use quickdetailer -- spray it on the bodywork part and clay it. Lots of videos on Youtube to see how it's done. Then use a polish. Then wax it.

Had the car serviced on Saturday, included coolant and gearbox oil change. I bought all genuine Honda parts and oils myself. The car sounded reasonable fine on Saturday night on the motorway and on Sunday urban driving. This morning I started the car and I could hear a water trickling sound from...

Which ebay sellers have you guys used? I'm looking to replace my bulbs soon.

Start the engine and I'm off. I don't hammer it until it's fully warmed up. I let it idle for a few seconds when the journey is finished. If I'm at a service station I will let it idle for 30 seconds before switching off.

That's really good! I was expecting 400 quid.

It's nearly time to do a service on my 2.2. It's done 65K. What kind of prices should a good dealer be quoting? Besides the normal changes, I also want the coolant and transmission fluid changed. I can buy all the parts for less than 200 quid and take it to my local mechanic, but I'd like to...

I don't see any reason to sell mine. It's a great all-rounder. Plenty of power and reasonable frugal on fuel when I wanted it to be. Once I've got the engine vibration looked at, it should be even better.

My MPG went down, but I found it was the tyres; one of them was bald on one side. New tyres + warmer weather and it got way better.

A few months? Yikes. How many miles did you do on them?

They used super tracker. These are the settings for mine: - 0.20 Front + 2.50 Rear

Fitted four new EAGLE F1 Asymmetric 2 - 225/45 R17 91Y and got the four wheel tracking done. The tracking was way out! The fronts were wearing inside, the rears were wearing outside. They only had a few months to go so I decided to change them all. Tyre noise is much less, the sessanta's were...

Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric, 225/45 R17 91Y Just had two of them fitted to the front. My Sessantas were losing grip. So far the Goodyear is quieter on rougher roads and feels very grippy, but then they are new. :) Having another two fitted to the back, plus 4 wheel tracking. The wheel...

I took my car down to a dealer for a second look at the manifold. Nothing. It seems that the waft of fumes are only noticeable on a cold start-up, then it stops leaking. I think it's my EGR valve sticking, or something around there.

I was getting more black smoke on lift-off with the EGR on. A lot less on the stage 1 map. I'll probably go stage 2 as soon as I get a few niggles sorted on my car. Stage 1 isn't enough. :)

A few weeks ago (before remap) the fumes were leaking from somewhere. I sniffed under the bonnet and it stank of fumes. It was pretty unbearable; I was certain that the manifold was cracked. Since the remap, I've only sniffed fumes once - when I put my foot down. It could possibly be that...

If the temp is freezing, then the water just freezes! Did that this morning, might as well not have bothered.

I don't think we discussed it much because the car was running fine. No start-up problems either.

Fahad went through some diagnostic tests and found that three of the injectors were way off centre. Injector ONE was fine. There are no engine codes. MPG seems fine. The car feels quick so no loss of power. Only done 60K The engine is nosier which amplifies into the cabin when stationary...

Cheers guys for your advice. :)
