    How many active members now?

    This forum used to be constantly full of new owners and their cars but is now very quiet. I know I'm in the minority by having owned my car for 12 years but how many active members are there still here?

    CAT Covers

    My cat covers have rusted away and Lings want an eye watering £130 for new ones. Is there anywhere I can get them cheaper or anyone know of a good second hand pair for a 2.4 petrol tourer? Cheers Spud.

    Used to be loads now non available .. Penta Wheels

    Just about right for me. I've had my 7th gen for 12 years and seen zillions of Penats for sale. Now I've gone down a pot hole and punctured 2 perfectly good Brigestones and cracked an alloy. I'm after a Penta alloy (possibly 2) anyone know of any? The wanted section seems covered in cobwebs so...

    Rear washer water

    The water ran out in my washer bottle and now I can't get the rear washer to pump water. I'm sure it's an air lock or something, anyone else had this?

    Front driving lights Type-S

    My front fog lights work perfectly but certainly look like they've has water in them over the years as there is a white powder at the bottom of them. Anyone else seen this? Are they easy to take out as I haven't been under it yet, Cheers Spud.

    OCD no good for anyone ... rear arches

    So every couple of years I take my car to the paintshop where they take the arches with spots of rust down to bare metal and paint them up again. This stops them getting to a point off nastiness and relieves my OCD of any sort of rust on the car. However they say to stop it coming back the only...

    125k service, what do they do?

    Rang a couple of dealers to book a 125k service and the price was the best part of £100 difference. Seems they have a different list of jobs to do. Anyone got a job sheet for a 2.4 7th gen so I know which to choose. Cheers Spud.

    Old probelem, new to me, car shaking

    So I get a minor shake (the car not the steering) when accelerating from stand still but quite a harsh one accelerating at 60 ish. Found quite a lot of play on the inner joint and shaft on the splines. Not rotation more vertical. Changed the joint and the shake/play is exactly the same. Can...

    What tyres is everyone using nowadays?

    7th gen tourer 225/45 R17 91Y Yokohama Advan Sports at the moment. Never had any issue with them grip wise but they're a little soft and haven't lasted as long as I'd hoped. What tyres are you all using now? Any good recommendations for a quiet tyre with good grip? Cheers Spud.

    Pesky Tourer Tailgate

    Tailgate goes down on the fob and tailgate button but doesn't finish the job by latching itself at the bottom. I have to manually close the last half inch to latch it. It then won't undo using the handle/switch but will work perfectly opening on the fob. In summary it seems the final closing...

    Annoying Squeak

    I have a frustrating squeak when I brake and release the brake pedal. It sounds like it's coming from outside of the car and it's only when I realease the pedal not push it down. I thought it may be the pads not releasing properly so stripped all the calipers, cleaned out the crud, silicone...

    Oh dear unusual clutch problem?

    So I've been having more and more trouble selecting gears and have got to the point of diagnosing the problem. Considered the usual nightmare of a new clutch but thought I'd change the fluid 1st just in case. While I was in the footwell I think I spotted the problem. The clutch bracket has...

    Oh good, vsa light coming on.

    My VSA light comes on intermittently when braking. I suppose I have no choice but to pay Honda a huge amount for them to spend 5 mins with their diagnostic kit and to tell me what's up. However, the question is how long is the fault code stored? In the past after a certain amount of starts cars...
