Thanks guys. I'll get onto it in the morning.

Hi Just got the car back after having a full service, new turbo and intercoooler fitted (it's like a different car now). Driving it home from the garage the engine warmed up fine, but the cabin didn't for about 40 minutes (and only after I gave the throttle a bit of a tickle). Phoned the...

Thank you! I guess we learn from our mistakes (buying the wrong filter - not becoming a father). I think the major cost for me will be what Midland Turbo charge for reconditioning my unit. :(

i About half the price. Like I mentioned earlier, I would have bought the real thing but I'm skint (or just about to be). My first child arrived 3 weeks ago, quickly followed by a burst intercooler and a wailing turbo (so an oil change needed too). I'm getting it in the neck for spending all...

Yup - the one I got looks nothing like that. Grrrr............

Thanks! That describes perfectly what they sent me, so I guess it must be the right one. Strange - Lings shows the filter as having black rubber shoulders on it.

Hi Folks. I ordered a new oil filter and I'm not convinced it's the right one (although the supplier remains adamant it is). It's not a genuine Honda - money's very tight at the moment or it would have been genuine - but that aside the one that arrived was just a plain paper filter. This is...

I'd never have thought of that of that in a hundred years. I must be a little slow.

Please excuse my ignorance here, but can I put a 16 inch space saver on the car when my wheels are 17 inch? I don't see the rear being an issue short term, but what about the front?

My tourer doesn't have a spare, it's got a compressor and is supposed to have a can of tyre repair instead (but that's missing). Are there any differences between these 'get me home' temporary repair cans? I've heard some gum up your tyre so much that it can't be repaired and some that are...

Eh, guys - I wasn't suggesting running with no fog lights. What I was thinking of was having the fog light lense the same as the reverse light, but with a red fog bulb in (to make it legal).

That easy? Wow, thanks.

I'll be attempting an intercooler replacement this weekend. I've been told you take the bumper cover off to do this but it's not that obvious how to get it off. Is there a guide anywhere?

Does anybody know if you can remove the red lens surrounding the foglamp bulb? For purely aesthetic reasons I'd like my fog light and reverse light to match and if that red thingy came out the light cluster then they would. But obviously I'd need to replace the clear fog bulb with a red one if...

Don't they both run off the same fuse? The lights for them run off the dashboard lights circuit, but I thought the heat bit for both seats were on the same circuit. My guess would be that the heated wire is broke. No biggie - seat out, pull seat cover off and have a look. Solder new section...

Thanks. It saves some time knowing which way to go. The car has developed 'Police Squad' turbo wail and is down a little on power, so I went looking for leaks in the circuit. I moved the battery aside, shone a torch down the hole and spotted it blowing slightly. I don't think this is the...

Hi folks Spotted my intercooler leaking a little, so it'll need to come out for repair or replacement. Which is the best way to get at it - do I take the bumper off, or the wheel arch liner? Thanks.

Are you sure it's the exhaust manifold? I know it's been suggested as being the cause, but maybe you should have it confirmed by a professional first. Do you think you smell diesel - or diesel exhaust fumes?

Good morning gents (and of course ladies if there's any present) My deisel threw up an engine check light yesterday mornng after an uncharacteristic slow start. Stuck the reader on it and it came up with 'P0344 camshaft position sensor "A" circuit intermittent (bank 1 or signal sensor)'...

Thanks guys! You've given me quite a few pointers which I'll work my way through. I've got a couple more questions relating to your suggestions... When I hit the re-circulate button the system moves from 'auto' to manual. Is that normal? How would I check if the car is stuck on...
