  • Motorcycle headlamp repair 25 Jul 2007 (Forum)
    My Honda Africa Twin motorcycle has twin headlights. Both have dip and main. One has had a small hole (1.5cm) punched in it by a stone. I have used a repair kit on the hole and also installed clear acrylic protectors. There is no effect on the illumination from the light. Will this fail an MOT
  • Alternative car polish 3 Apr 2007 (Forum)
    Pulled up at the jet wash this afternoon, the guy in front was busy giving his Honda CRX a good vigorous rub-down with Cif, that non-abrasive, gentle-on-the-paintwork car wax. Said he´d been using it for 3 years - by the look of the paint, I could believe it. You couldn´t make it up.

    The driver's electric window on my aging Honda Prelude makes a sreeching or growling sound, when going down but not up. If the sun has been on it for sometime it goes quiet.

    at. But I have just now looked at the exhaust pipe on our  17 yr old Honda Stream  -   spotless. This is causing some slight buyer's remorse. It would be annoying, to say nothing more, if the Verso is burning as much oil as the Auris when it reaches the same age.  Should I
