Thanks all, will let you guys know once I make switch!

Taryfa, I don't really need the extra power I'm a bit of an efficiency nut so would take the extra mpg over the bhp :blush: No the F10 is still going strong but mileage is racking up and I wanna sell it before making too much of a loss, got a good offer on it so mulling that over and looking...

Morning all, After having a 7th Gen for 5 years I switched to a BMW F10 when that died on me, I am missing the Honda experience though and am tempted to return! I am looking at getting an 8th Gen Diesel Ex, I do about 800 miles a week pure motorway cruising around 70mph. I wanted to know if...

Afternoon all, I am half way through an alternator replacement job, and had a question about the routing, I have a 06 Facelift, does the routing in the early pictures hold true for them? Thanks

Thanks John, to be honest I am looking to sell the car once I get it started, already pumped a lot of money into her once she broke down so trying to save some money where I can. I plan to get her running and then stick her up for sale, times are hard at the moment...

Thanks mate, just waiting to get the alternator back in so I can see if I have managed to do it right....

That's what I'm using, a spanner with a pipe, lost the spanner in the bottom of the engine bay many times as well! It seems when I turn the tensioner not much happens, how much slack can I expect?

Evening all, Just spent the weekend trying to get the belt back on my alternator after swapping it for a reconditioned one, having a bit of trouble with the tensioner, I have managed to get my tool onto it, I was pushing it towards the car initially but came back on here to read I need to pull...

Thanks Matt, another newbie question, what should I do with the pipes one I remove them? I was thinking to quickly undo the bolt that I needed and reattach the fuel rail?

Thanks Matt, it's not hanging its still bolted on, I've just uncliped the plastic thing that sat on top which is hanging about. Do the fuel lines come off quite easily?

Is the fuel rail the plastic thing or the part that sits below it?

Evening All, I just been out trying to get the Inlet Manifold off but have come to a bit of a roadblock! I managed to get the EGR off, I have got all the bolts off that I can see but there are 2 that I just can't get too! Any advice how to get to them?! I have attached some pics of progress...

Ok Thanks, will give it a go over the weekend hopefully!

Hello mate, Most of the threads I have come across are for the pre facelift, as relatively inexperienced I wanted to understand if the methods was different for the facelift since the manifold doesn't seem as exposed as in the pre-facelift.

Afternoon All, My saloon has decided to take a break and has been parked up in my drive waiting for a new alternator to get it back on the road, in this time I want to clean up the inlet manifold as it's done almost 200k! I have been searching everywhere for some advice on how to remove the...

Ok thanks will try and have a look this weekend, need to replace my coolant tank first!

Thanks Farhad

Apologies for my ignorance, do you mean to replace it or take it off, start it and see what happens? Your right it's not too bad it's just started, but if it will lead to an alternator change I'd rather nip it in the bud!

Thank you for the guide mate, I started doing the job last week and got half way through will complete the job this weekend hopefully! Can feel the difference already even with just a cloth and getting to what my hand could reach!!

Evening All, I have a facelift saloon which is approaching the 200k milestone, over the past few days especially if its cold and wet its started to make a loud whine. Here is a video of the problem: http://sendvid.com/mcnt8p9m I have read on other posts that it could be the long pulley needs...
