    Electric window switch - is it faulty?

    Mine does the same now and again. When it does, I need to turn off the engine for the window to close. Probably there is too much friction between window and rubber seal. I'll try Silicone spray myself.

    Idle low and engine management 2.4

    Just had a service at Honda. They had a look at the issue read the codes, but could not tell me more than I already know (P0171). They don't think it's the O2 sensor, and said that changing the spark plugs might help, so now I'll wait and see if the issue reappears. I still think it might be...

    Littlebo/UKCL9 CL9/CM2 - K24 Reflash/Remap Test ECU

    I've just done about 30 miles with the test ecu. To summarise: Up to 3000 revs could not feel an increase in torque or power, what I did notice is that car feels smoother and more responsive. Over 3000 revs the car pulls like crazy. It took me by surprise. Pulls nicely till 7500-7600 without...

    Euro r mpg?

    My 2.4 type s does about 300 till the light comes on. That is 11miles to work and back, A and b roads, the rest is town driving. If I do mostly motorways i get to 350-370 miles. If I do only motorway I get 400 miles. Really pleased with that as I'm using the v-tec offten.
