    Lifespan of original alloy wheel rims

    Now bearing in mind the current state of the country's pot holed roads which aren't exactly doing our cars any good, but is there an age / mileage whereby we should consider replacement of wheel rims? Thoughts anyone?

    oil consumption - excessive or not?

    My beloved 2.4 Type S tourer seems to be drinking a little more oil than I would ideally like. Over the last few times it has been serviced, there is no evidence of leakage underneath the car (clean as a whistle so to speak) or dropping oil on the road etc. I am having to keep topping the oil...

    front brake discs

    Well the time has come today when my front brake discs have needed changing due to a seized caliper. Checked all the service history to find that these are the original parts that are coming off my 53 plate type S having covered 105K! I'm staggered! Great Honda reliability :-)

    How to.......?

    wobble sensation thro steering wheel

After 91000 miles my 53 plate car has developed a noticable vibration through the steering wheel at 55mph + which is noticeable to the eye, however the car doesn't wander off course. It seems worse on smoother road surfaces however it DOES...

    Burning Smell from under the car...

    I have started noticing a rather unpleasant burning smell coming from under the car....particularly if I have done a rather spirited journey, whereby I have had the car engine at the 5000+ rpm range. I have checked the car fully underneath and everything seems as it should but to be fair IT IS...

    possible VSA niggle

    I am getting periodic niggles with the VSA whereby both the Yellow triangle and VSA letters become illuminated. Now I haven't got one of these fault code readers or one these bluetooth readers for the android apps that are about which could immediately tell me what the fault code is. When the...

    Part Number/s

    Hi there chaps The pride and joy has been to the local independent garage today to investigate a knocking sound. It would appear that the diagnosis is some play in the track-rod ends. Looking on LINGS HONDA PARTS to get an idea of part prices, I have no idea what the part looks like...Can...
