    Another Rusty Sunroof

    Honda have agreed to replace my sunroof after I found a very small amount of corrosion on one side. The car went in on Tuesday and now has a gleaming new sunroof! I did have an extended warranty however, which may differ fro m others here. Sadly however, I am being forced by work into a company...

    100k plus 8th gen, am I asking for trouble?

    Hi Andy Other than the puncture on Friday (! see previous post) My Tourer EX iDTEC Auto hasn't missed a beat in 65k. As an ownership proposition it is faultless, service is relatively cheap (much less than German brands) and comfort excellent. Tyres seem to last well, only ever topped up the...

I drove on thew tyre for 20 miles without realising it was largely flat (rear tyre, motorway journey - no idea!) so the side walls were completely knackered on arrival at work, so much so that I couldn't drive the car...

    Auto box

    42-44mpg, mixed riving but more motorway-centric. I find the sport mode and flappy paddles a hoot. On fastish B roads third gear is particularly flexible and puts a smile on your face when pushing on.

    Car is an 09, 53,000 miles. I only smell this when getting out of the car, and again it is not a regular thing.... I don't drive the car at all hard, just 70 mph on the motorway. No heavy braking, no hard cornering. Running Yokohama tyres as per original fit. Cheers

    Hot rubber small after 30 min drive

    Hi All Every now and again after a 30 minute drive (my normal drive to/from work) I get out of the car and smell hot rubber quite strongly. Is this the DPF regen fallout? I've had a quick look under the car and nothing seems to be amiss. Nothing picked up at service.... Any advice would be...

    iDTEC Auto towing capacities

    Hi all, Prior to buying my car I noticed that the towing capacity is quite low at only 1100kg, and that the explanation is that the max weight is dependent on the car being able to pull away on a certain incline. Has anyone had experience towing with an iDTEC auto, and has anyone into problems...
