The last time I looked my cat looked very ropey and probably the cause of an exhaust leak I've had recently. Still weighing up whether to scrap it or not.

I put £30 in my Accord yesterday and got 150 miles out of it doing mainly town and motorway miles. So yours is definitely pretty bad. Can you pop it into a garage and get them to check for any fault codes?

I'm seriously considering stripping and scrapping my Accord due to corrosion. Mechanically though it's very good with only 91K on the clock and a very good service history. I'll strip out as much as I can to sell and hopefully recoup some of my losses. Question is, can anyone recommend any...

It's definitely not from the heater matrix, it's clean rainwater that's getting in. And it's getting in from dropping rain rather than being thrown up from the wet road as it fills up when the cars been standing. Not had the windscreen out either. I did have a bodyshop do a lot of welding to...

When was it last serviced?

Sunroof drainage seems OK, the water is getting in through the bulkhead and seeping out from the place in the photo. And it's a big leak too, not just a dribble. Plus I just had a closer look at the passenger side and the foam under the rubber sound deadening is soaking wet too. I flippin' give...

In the last week I've finally got the massive hole in my OSF floorpan welded up ready for the MOT. I also found a puddle of water under the rear passenger carpet. Most likely culprit being rainwater getting past the membrane in the door. I cleaned away all the old mastic and replaced with...

I'm quite happy to go belt and braces on the seals but just want to make sure I buy the right kit. It looks to be so have ordered one.

I recently cleaned my EGR valve and plate but now have a strong smell of petrol and it's wet around some of the injectors. Can anyone confirm if this is the correct injector seal kit for the F20B6 engine...

Great write up. I had wet carpet by the NSR door. Have cleaned off the old mastic and replaced with butyl tape. Now waiting for some decent rain to see if it's fixed. :)

I have a poor track record with Volvos. I like them but they hate me. I never get anything but trouble with them. Now an Audi, that's more my cup of tea. I've had mainly Hondas since 2011 but in 2012 I had an Audi A6 Avant for a while. I kick myself for selling that one now. And as far as I'm...

Giugaro designed some unbelievably iconic cars. The only one of his designs I've ever owned was a Subaru SVX. That was a lovely old thing that I wish I still had.

Not seen a Scirocco Storm in years.

I do need to look into underbody protection products, not so much for my Mk6 but for my Mk3 Aerodeck. He's 30 years old this month and definitely due an upgrade to his original underseal.

This is the rot in my Mk6 that I discovered the other day, Quite a hole.

You'd think all cars post 2000 would be galvanised surely. My 1994 Fiat Tipo was.

Can someone tell me if the injector seal I need to replace is numbered 28 or 2 in the image?

I was hoping the 2.4 was going to be a bit of a wolf in sheep's clothing with nigh on 200bhp. That's disappointing. I suppose I really need to try a few out. If it wasn't for the galloping rot I'd happily keep my 2.0 Mk6 for the foreseeable future.

I remember my dad's best friend used to paint the underside of his Mk3 Cortina with the old engine oil after he'd serviced it. A health & safety and environmental nightmare nowadays but it certainly did the trick for him. My brother bought the Cortina off him in 1979 and there wasn't a spot of...
