Quick little update. I ran the full tank I had at the start of this problem down to about half, then added a bottle of cleaner and a gallon of diesel to wash it down. Ran it for the rest of the tank, then added another bottle of cleaner and added 30 litres, Ran it for another couple of weeks...

Couple of bottles of snake oil ordered, I'll give it a go. Only thing is the tank is filled to the brim less just shy of 50miles worth. Any easy was of getting half a tank out to give the cleaner a stronger dose? I'm guessing I'm not going to be able to just siphon it out? I'll have a mooch...

Thank you. I didn't ring the garage today, I think I'll wait til at least after the weekend. I'll have a look under the bonnet at access to the metering valve but also I think I'll do as the other poster said and give it a dose or too of cleaner and see how it goes. I was worried about any...

Thanks for the reply. Was yours doing the same as mine, cutting out when not under much load? Lots of other guys with the same code fault were having it after accelerating hard, mines the only way ne I've found that is at low rpm/low load.

Evening gents. Seems I have an issue my my iDtec. Bugger! A few weeks ago I was on my way to Screwfix and as I cam through a 30mph bit of town I felt a tiny stutter then the car went in to limp mode. Igntion off and on and it restarted and drove as normal, but EML stayed on. Next day light had...

I came here after not being on the forums for probably years (Car has been perfect with nothing wrong and family life has taken of car fiddling time!), to ask if anyone had the vibration under acceleration, and this answered it perfectly. Does anyone know of any UK sources for the cv joints or...

I had a quick look yesterday afternoon and got the right rear light out and found a spare grommit so that might be a good route into the car, but I've no idea how to get the sub cover off. I'll get a bypass ordered and I'll go to a mates work who fits out police cars is going to help me with the...

You sir are a gentleman. I'll go and have a look in a bit and see if I can make sense of it. The towbar I bought came with a bit of wiring, but it seems than instead of a bypass relay, they seemed to have used a little separate module that just does the beeping but no wires coming back out. I'll...

Brilliant thanks for the replies. I'll probably try and get as many functions working as I can. I don't suppose you know if all the connections are made in roughly one place or do the left indicator have to be routed to the back left light cluster and the right to the right. Is there a wiring...

Evening all, I've just picked up a used fixed towbar that came with a 13 pin socket but nothing more. Has anyone got a guide or knows of one to point me in the right direction. I spend my life doing wiring on boats but don't do much with cars since my days of giant subs when I was a teenager...

My car has got a switch that turns all the sensors off so I'm good for that. Does anyone know how much of a cutout a fixed Swan neck needs? Also how are the electrica connected in the accord. I think I've read somewhere that even with dedicated wiring it doesn't just plug I, so what advantage...

Sorry for dragging up an old thread. I'm revisiting the tow bar issue again as I'm hoping to start doing a bit of enduro racing next year so its more Preston g to get a trailer and towbar sorted so I can transport my bike. Now my car is getting old and now having a 2 year old my life is...

That odd. My '10 Type S Tourer is the oposite. Lights are on when headlights are on but don't come on when doors are open. At least I don't think they do. I'll have a look in the morning and report back.

Evening guys, For about a month now my car has been complaining about its parking sensors. If i turn them on and reverse they are fine, but as soon as I put it in 1st it says "Check System". The rears are working as they should so it seems its the front that are playing up. I could be a...

Update time! Just come in from doing my brakes and managed to avoid the rain! I ordered the front and rear sets of Delhi discs and pads from Autosession via ebay, and ordered them based on the disc size and hoped that the pads that they matched to them fitted. Front...

Sorry to drag up an old post. But did you have to do anything other than just swap the bulb? I just tried mine and it made no difference to what bulb i used. I don't know if its a coincidence or not but mine stopped working the day after we had had some heavy rain last week so don't know if...

Well I've just pulled a wheels off one side, and I'm still confused. The rear pad definately says Nissin on it, but the shape of the pad and the dimensions match up with the pad for the AKE caliper. I did wonder if someone had fitted the wrong pads at the back at some point, but they are tight...

Sorry to drag this all up again. I just haven't had chance to order stuff, but I'm off for a fortnight so I'll have chance to get them done. I was going to go for the MTEC ones, but to be honest I can't really justify the extra cost of them + the coating at the moment so was looking at other...

I've got a '10 Type S. when they stopped the EXGT the Type S sort of replaced it. mine is prefacelift. Spec wise its the same spec as an EXGT but without sunrooft and with more power. They are pretty rare but you may get lucky. I drove from South Wales to Cambridge for mine,lol. I do like the...
