    Import Duty on an Exhaust from Poland

    Have a new down pipe and CAT but getting nowhere getting a quote for a custom stainless set up. Skunk 2 looks nice but at near 900 quid? Can get the other 4 bits I require from Poland at a fraction of the prices being quoted here in the UK. They seem to have an office in London and some sort of...

    Broke the wire to the Knock Sensor

    2004 2.4 Starter goosed (hope that's all it is) Had the same nightmare as on my last one getting into the 12mm bolt attaching the manifold support bracket. Neighbour is a mechanic and gave me a hand so starter installed. Was warned that the socket for the ignition wire pointed sideways as...

    Dead 2 ltr Exec

    Any thoughts? Have this lying in the drive and getting grief from her indoors. Head warped/gasket gone and needs a full new exhaust and some drop links. Not worth fixing even if I could do the work myself. Problem is it's sat on the Pentas off the 2.4. Tyres were goosed so just changed over the...

    Changing the ATF

    I want to change the ATF and have searched the threads but see no mention of flushing. You tube videos suggest flushing two or three times. Given the cheapest I can find fluid is £26 for 3 bottles, looking near 100 quid if flushed twice. Is this really necessary? The car has a full history from...

    Spark Plug Advise

    Will I notice a difference between Bosch Double Iridium at £25.31 for four or pay double for the Denso or NGK ones. From past experience Bosch make decent enough plugs but know some cars can be very fussy re plugs.

    Neutral or not?

    Being a new convert to automatics hope this isn't a silly question. With both the Accords, I've noticed a slight 'pulsing'? when sitting at junctions or lights, lever in drive and foot on the brake. This goes away if I change into neutral. Is it easier on the box if you change into neutral when...

    2.4 Exec, can't keep it in Petrol?

    Briefly had a 2.0 ltr exec and loved it. Dozy mechanic missed the fact the cooling fan sensor was goosed. Even with a blown head gasket it still lasted me a few months and wasn't brutal on petrol. New 2.4 is killing me, it eats fuel at an alarming rate, usual Honda gauge drops like a stone at...
