I don't have the car any more mate, I part chopped it in now - but good advice ta. New battery is definitely surplus to requirements.

Huge thanks to Salim, I wouldn't have even considered attempting this without this guide. I'm not a total mechanical dunce but a mechanic I'm not. If I can do this, anyone with sufficient time, patience and the tools Salim listed, should be able to do it and save a few quid. I'd suggest...

Thanks pal, both. Initially I got a slipping belt and then bearing noise, over a very short space of time (couple of days.) I didn't actually realise the bearings were rattling if I'm honest and I had a new belt fitted. Honda, although they told me the bearings were quite noisy, didn't...

Pm'd.

Thanks for the response. I put a voltmeter across the battery, idling and under load (main beam on,) and also onto the alternator terminal itself - it's not charging the battery or giving out anything at all apparently, other than making a noise. I couldn't be much further away from being an...

The belt on my 2.2 cdti was squealing so I had it replaced at a honda dealer and I believe they did the revision with the shorter belt. They tell me that the alternator bearings are very noisy, which does seem to be the case. The price for a new alternator was £450 all in and they tell me that...

My experience is not dissimilar to this. I contacted Honda UK twice by telephone, and subsequently they contacted me to ask about my experience of dealing with them (which I used as an opportunity to appeal to their better nature.) The outcome has been the same each time; that they are not...

Hey mate, yes I have. I've tried it a couple of different ways (both terminals each time, leaving for anywhere between 5 minutes and 30 minutes.) If I reset with the tailgate closed, the warning light goes away. When I try to lift the door from the keyfob, I get a long beep (as if the...

My tailgate packed in yesterday and I don't have any money so trying to fix it myself is the only option I have. I've removed most of the trim but there are two plastic 'button' fasteners (one each side of the tailgate latch) at the bottom that I can't remove. I've managed to break a piece...

Thanks for that. The Mrs. wanted it sorting asap as we're pretty much scuppered without the car so I took it to a local dealer who charged me £77 all in. The issues I was having seem to have disappeared and the car seems to have a bit more 'go' in it. Hopefully the fuel consumption will...

Hi all, this thread is gold. Fingers crossed for me that this the same filter and process for a '54 i-CDTI tourer exec? If this is the case could somebody advise exactly what filter to buy and ideally somewhere trustworthy to get one from?
