Where would I be looking? I did get a mechanic to just have a listen and he was pointing towards turbo failure but it may be worth having a more thorough look

Hi All Got a issue with my car where I believe it's turbo failure. I was just accelerating on to the motorway and I heard a bit of a pop and saw a little cloud of smoke behind me and then i lost all boost power. There's no limp mode or any errors when i scanned with a basic Bluetooth obd. My...

Thanks for this. It explains a lot. So according to my test results it appears that It could be that my alternator is weak.

Strange issue, I just posted a issue with my battery or alternator or something along them lines just a bit ago too. Have you tested your car with a multi meter that will give you a good idea on what is going on? As far as i know the lights should come on when you put your keys in before you...

Hello All So we was driving back from the cinema last night after watching the new hunger games movie. When i got near my home I notice the lights started to flicker and everything started to dim inside and the radio was going on and off. First i thought i was getting abducted by aliens all the...

Hello all Looking for some advice Recently I noticed a problem with my clutch, at times it feels spongy and soft and the biting point is right low. When this happens sometimes i can find my self stuck in gear (can't change gear when the pedal is pressed) and I have to turn the car off to get...

Hello All Just a update, I can confirm the issue is resolved with replacing the crank shaft pulley sourced from ebay for about £140 with belt. Car sounds and drives perfect now

Hey Thanks for your advice The sound is more consistent now and i'm pretty sure it's the pulley now after listening around, my mechanical skills are pretty novice, so i'll probably ask my mechanic to look at it.

How much did it cost for your friend to repair? I'm thinking of just getting rid of it spares/repairs ? Had enough of it

Thanks for the feed back guys, Yep problems still quite intermittent at the moment.

The white smoke seems quite excessive, Gordon - it's the last thing I want for the car to be written off, just like everyone here I've spent a lot of time caring and money on my car.I know I'll get a fraction of what I've actually spent on it after all it's a 53 plate just like yours, I've just...

Hello People A last weekend I was involved in an accident where a third party collided in to the back of my car while I was setting off from green traffic lights. The person admitted fault and his insurance company is going to sort everything out for me. The visual damage to my vehicle and his...

I had similar issues, Bleed the fuel filter everything seemed ok after that

Take my advice I've been through it, and it's not worth it !

Would I need the hub centric rings for these alloys (ep3) (225/45/17 tyres) got them refrub and put on, the steering feels like it's got a mind of it's own (pulling to left and right). I'm looking to get alignment done soon to see if that helps

Thanks Fahad appreciate it!

Hello people Just would like some advice on buying alloys for the accord. Still trying to get my head around the offset and I had something like these in mind.

Hello Guys Just wondering which way the HID bulbs should be placed. I think I have mine with the wire/bar on the top side facing up. Is this correct? Thanks in advance
