Anyone know how much it is now for a clutch replacement at Honda? I thought it was a happiness deal but I can't find it on the fixed price list online any more. About £800? My thrust bearing has been making noises for a while, I guess the flywheel should be done at the same time as well?

I'm in a field in Dorking, I went down a ditch and 2 guys sat in the boot to get us out, then we got stuck in mud and dug a hole, 2 different guys pushed us out but during getting out the vsa light came on and stayed on. I do have lots of mud up the left hand side and in the wheel arch so is it...

So I've still got some Castrol Edge oil in a bottle, probably 500ml. I was going to top up the bottle from the Exol 25l drum so that I've got a bottle full in the car. Is this Ok? They're obviously both 0w30 and I think both fully synthetic, just different brands.

It seems to be since I had the accident and front wing replaced - missus reckons it's noisier on the motorway as well. I've fondled the mats but can't feel any damp. Could be a coincidence of course. I've tried leaving the a/c off and just use the heater, it makes it a bit better doing this not...

I also sometimes get the DVD not formatted error. Now I know people have sent them away for repair for ~£150-£180, and others have taken them apart and cleaned them which works for a little while. But, if I take it into Honda and tell them to make it all good, how much will they be a charging?

Just noticed tonight that my headlight washers are also not working since getting car back from the bodyshop! So it's had a new bumper, what are they likely to have done to make them not work? Is it a fuse or a water pipe or something else? I don't think anything is spraying out the bottom but...

So since the garage gave me an engine light and flashing glow plug light on the dash, I've booked into Honda next week for diagnosis. Is there anything I should check before doing that? They told me the code came back as 'fuel heater temperature sensor' or something similar? I don't want to pay...

I've got a disconcerting diesel type noise coming from my car, mostly when cold and under load - so much that I'm annoying people now by pulling away really slowly. :D The best way I can describe it is like pinking, I had it in an old modified petrol car that had det issues and needed colder...

So I changed my sidelights to LEDs, and they looked VERY blue due to the facelift plastics. I tried 3 different types of LED at varying cost, and they all looked blue. So now I've just gone on to the MTEC bulbs, which are physically very blue in appearance but give a very white light. So...

I haven't heard of any diesels on here having blowing exhausts, but my car is sounding pretty boomy at the moment, do they go on these cars? I had the manifold done a few weeks back, but it was making noise before that, I thought the manifold might fix it but it seems to be getting louder...

Do they crack? I think I'm getting a faint whiff of fumes when stood still, but could just be getting in some other way. Also it sounds like the exhaust is blowing slightly, do you get that from cracked manifold? Or is my exhaust blowing! :D

My brother's interested in getting a bit more performance out of his Accord, it's a pre facelift 2.0 Sport I think. Is there anything realistically that does any good? I know you can change filters and stuff but isn't it like 1 or 2 BHP? I don't think "px for a 2.4" is really an option either :D .

Can someone recommend some replacement wipers for the facelift? I haven't even looked at them so don't know if you're best replacing the whole thing, or just the slide in blade bit? They're those flat wipers so I've never had them before, are they any different?

Can you mix different brands of oils? I've got about 2l left of my Castrol Edge, and the rest I want to top up with the Lubetech oil, both 0W30 obviously. Is that OK? Otherwise I don't have enough containers for the old oil until I empty the Castrol tub.

I've never known LEDs to blow before, but I've now tried 2 different types in my number plate lights, and the offside one has blown twice within a day or two of putting them in. Anyone know why this happens?

So Honda quoted me £650 for 2 rear discs and an offside caliper. I'm not too fussed about the discs at the moment, but the caliper I'd like to get sorted, just not for £400. Option 1) I could take them off and send them both to Bigg Red, cost about £150 and I get both sorted. Problem 1a) I'm...

I bought these as my sidelights were looking very yellow against the 5000K HIDs: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/120740679798#ht_2598wt_1273 But now my sidelights look just the other side of legal on the blue scale!! I think it's partly to do with the blueish tint to the plastic, and also probably...

You only need to search on YouTube to see how good these LED bulbs are: http://www.v-leds.com/ But they're also ridiculously expensive, so I don't fancy buying them just to see. It's only because I've seen bits on here about people buying LED bulbs and them not changing brightness (rear/brake...

OK so I sold out and got HIDs, even though I said I was against them. :D Big thanks to Adam (TheHole) for supplying and fitting for me, and also taking me out in the stage1 trying to persuade me it's a good idea! ;) Haven't been out in proper dark yet but they are MUCH better already, they do...

My noise when turning doesn't come with any freebies such as vibrations at 60mph or knocking through the steering wheel. So could it be a driveshaft? More info on my other thread, but I'm not sure it's related to the rear brake issue now. I phoned my local garage today and the monkey answered...
