    Where do i get bumper plastic resprayed?

    Any bodyshop will be able to repair that. It will need some filling, then priming and painting. As a rough idea, I paid £150 for a rear bumper repair and bumper painted on an A3. They will generally paint the damaged area, and blend the lacquer in to rest of bumper if possible. Sent from my...

    ARB bushes and Links

    I did think about just fitting them, bit was worried they would wear quicker, or the body roll would suffer die to the bar being held out of place. I've found d bushes, just trying to find the right links now for a decent price. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    ARB bushes and Links

    Does anyone know which ones actually fit though? As I've already had 1 wrong set of links. Surely for the 2.2, they all had the same bar fitted? I can understand different bars in petrol etc. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    ARB bushes and Links

    Hi, I'll start by saying I tried a search, and found not a lot for bushes. I'm after rear ARB bushes, my bar is 22.2mm most seems to list much smaller? And front drop links. Euro supplied ones that were about 10-20mm too long. Obviously I can go to Honda, but this is a cheap run around...

    Toyota Yaris rear hub replacement. Tools ?

    As said...slide hammer. They always seize in. Some worse than others, but nothing a slide hammer doesnt sort. Source...about 10 years as a Toyota tech (not for many years). If memory serves, theres a retaining clip to knock the cv joint off. Which can be a pain. I cant remember if outer comes...

    Toyota Yaris rear hub replacement. Tools ?

    You will need a slide hammer really. They really seize in. Other than that, it's pretty straightforward. Parts expensive as it's the hub and bearing, with abs pick up built in. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    Brake pedal poor (upgrade & dot 5.1)

    Greenstuff pads aren't up to much tbh. More just a brand that caught on. But they shouldnt feel worse than oem really. The problem with brake upgrades, is they aren't always better than oem quality. A lot of places will buy cheap blanks, that they groove and what not. I'd be looking to have...

    Brake pedal poor (upgrade & dot 5.1)

    Anythings possible with cars :) The air would compress, which could cause an issue. Whether that would throw a fault, i dont know enough about the systems to know. An actuator / valve is what usually goes. So the pump wont be able to control and divert pressure where it wants. Air can cause...

    £110 for garage oil change. Eye-watering?

    Training is a bit off a snafu currently. Theres been a lot of staff turnover, and some arent really up to scratch. We have currently, 2 Master Tech (lvl 4), 3 Diag Tech (lvl 3) rest are either level 2, or working towards it. Level 2 is 4 or 5 courses, then ***essment, level 3 is another 7 plus...

    £110 for garage oil change. Eye-watering?

    Dealer techs are (should be) highly trained. Much higher than back street, which are generally college, then nothing more. A 3 day JLR course, is £900, plus hotel, food, car and fuel to get me there, then the loss of 8hrs labour a day, as I'm not there to do it. I've been on 5 this year. I'm...

    Brake pedal poor (upgrade & dot 5.1)

    I'm new here, so can't offer much accord specific advice. But I've been a tech for 15+ years, done brake swaps on my own stuff, tracked my stuff etc. It's quite normal for a pedal to seep down when the engine is running. The servo will vent vacuum. It shouldn't seep when the cars off. As...

    Seat Belt Renewal

    Minor fraying is allowed, cuts and excessive fraying are not. Disconnect the battery, leave for 5 mins to be safe (unsure on Hondas time, most are 90 secs). The plug can be disconnected after that, middle section pops up, then plug just pulls out. In practice, I unplug airbags and belts all...

    £110 for garage oil change. Eye-watering?

    £156 an hour. An oil and filter change on most of our stuff, is 0.6 hours and 6 litres of oil. I work for a Land Rover main dealer. Sent from my SM-G928F using Tapatalk

    £110 for garage oil change. Eye-watering?

    As a rule of thumb. I always use oem parts for my loved cars. So if Purflux make the filter, I buy the same brand where ever. Almost all service items, are made by someone other than Honda. But not all are available aftermarket. As for oil, we charge £14.95 a liter for Castrol 0/30 diesel...
