For example, the bottom of my condensor look as good - if not better - than the top of yours!

After having inspected the condenser, it is not perished at all. 99% of the fins are still there and in-place, a few are squashed as you would expect and some dead flies packed in there. But it also wouldn't explain why I can noticably feel the compressor cutting in and out at a steady throttle...

Good afternoon, My 2.0 tourer has developed a strange air conditioning problem that has people scratching their heads. Basically the air conditioning works beautifully, but only for a short period of time and only when the engines revs are up above about 3500rpm. If you turn the car on at...

Thanks for the feedback. I hadn't thought about the bearing. I have had numerous petrol Hondas (1999 1.6 Civic ES, missus' 2006 Jazz Sport, my Accord, 1989 CRX 1.6i-16 and my DC2 Integra Type-R), never had this problem before. Although I did have catastrophic clutch failure on my Type-R whilst...

Hello, I have tried searching, but have had no results. It's a very odd noise and I might not be describing it properly. Occasionally when pulling away, my clutch (I think), makes a kind of squeaking/chirping noise for a second, almost as if the clutch plate is slipping on the flywheel and it...

Shame. The most annoying thing, is that you used to be able to get it on Honda Happiness for £100!

Which Honda garage is this? My friend is parts manager for one local to me, he has told me a 2.0 tourer exhaust is £340! Mine is making quite obvious farty noises which it wasn't making the other day, so I believe I have developed a hole. :( Might see if I can just get a repair done...

Correct, it is a petrol.

Much to my displeasure, I bought an H1 4300k slim kit from eBay as I was sick of bulbs blowing. I did what Pointman says and fitted it all inside the light unit itself. Took less than 30 minutes, or less time than it took for my daughter to watch an episode of Go, Diego Go!, headlights were...

How heavy was your right foot getting those figures? Cheers me up somewhat, as I was umming and ahhring about going diesel, at the time a diesel was going to cost me £3-4k more for an equivalent tourer with the same age and miles as the 2.0 petrol I ended up getting. Been getting about...

Which fuses was it you replaced? Does it need every single fuse in the car doing, or just those relating to the headlights?

When my parking sensors started acting up, I pulled it all apart to figure out how it worked and check for loose connections etc. It's actually really simple taking it all apart. It just needs a little logic applying to figure out how everything is attached. From memory you need to remove the...

Just to update, new droplinks and no more creaking!

In all cases it has been the filament melting.

Had another one go today, an expensive Philips, so not a ***** one. Beforehand I've done 2 x Osram Nightbreakers and what was in it when I bought it. I'm going to try the earth strap idea as recommended, and also swap the fuses. Anything to sort out having to replace a headlight bulb every...

The 'must have self levellers and washers' thing is nonsense. The rules state that if they are present they must work. If there was a strict ban on all cars with HIDs that have no self levellers and washers, then there are a rake of cars out there with factory HIDs that do not have the...

When I put the last filter on, I did it up too tight and couldn't get it off by hand. Simple, large flat head screwdriver + hammer. It will put a hole through the filter casing and leak, but it gets the leverage you need to just start loosening it, then you can get it off by hand. Yes, that...

I've had the dreaded creaking for a while now, it primarily occurs when the weight of the car shifts around, as opposed to hitting bumps. Changed the bushes and no joy, the noise is coming from the drivers side, so I'm guessing one of the balljoints on that side has dried up. Got genuine drop...
