    Boost actuator fault

    My EML fault code suggests the boost actuator needs cleaning or replacing. It’s a 227k car so if it can be cleaned it’s ok but I ***ume it’s an expensive operation to change the turbo relative to the car’s value so I’m just trying to gauge if it is worthwhile.

Now the last time it did this...

    wobbly steering under load

    I have been getting wobbly steering under load. The wheels are true and the garage check (an Indie, not Honda) have not seen anything untoward happening. She is at 170k miles so it could be just that the suspension is getting a little 'saggy' but i wondered if anyone else had experienced...

    Hft saying tel connected but none are

    After a call my hft said that I was still in TEL mode, even when I switched my phone off. I've turned the car off - even looked it and walked away for ten mins but to no avail. Anyone had this problem? Can I reset the hft or will disconnecting the battery be the only solution?

    smell when heater on

    Does anyone else notice that when they have the heater on the amount of external smells that come in is pretty high. Is there supposed to be some sort of filter somewhere for these or is it standard? I do not notice external smells so much in any other car. Be interested in your views. Thanks

    Tyre change - from Nexen to Falken

    My Nexen 8000's on the front finally gave out at @23k miles - not bad really for an £85 tyre. The rear ones are still good for a few months so they are now on the front but I spent bit more this time round on some Falken ZE914 tyres and these are now on the rear. The Nexens, whilst superb...

    auto trans fluid change

    I recall I read somewhere that the oil on the auto box should be changed at a certain mileage to avoid expensive issues. I have just had a service at 72k or so and it had not come up on the VSR so i wondered if it should have done and if not, when is it generally good practice to do it? Thanks...
