• Please try to buy British built cars. 15 Apr 2009 (Forum)
  Please... PLEASE when considering buying a new car, think 'British', surely we should be supporting British workers, so many good/reliable cars are built here by: Toyota, Honda, Vauxhall, Ford (vans?), Aston Martin, Landrovers, Bentleys, Rolls Royces, Lotus etc etc. It is soul destroying being
• Car Insurance rise 22 Dec 2008 (Forum)
  Just had invitation to renew from January 2009. Two vehicles, both Honda, nothing out of the very ordinary. Price rise 7.7% over last year, 15% since 2007. No change in our circumstances. Is this sort of rise to be expected? I will shop around to a limited extent, but thus far the price has been
• Hydraulic tappets / cam followers now common ? 13 Mar 2008 (Forum)
  perhaps the 1.2 Honda engine and old designs such as the Ford Ka. Of course without them there are the additional services costs of having clearances measured and new shims fitted. Am I correct ? perhaps others can shed some light ..................
• Drunk-in-charge of a Motorshow? 17 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  I was at the Eastbourne Motorshow at the weekend (no, it wasn't all Zimmers and Hondas!). James May was hosting - and doing a damn good job. He did a bit of "hosting", then went off for a break before the next presentation. When he returned, he admitted to having had a "couple of pints". James
• Roof bars / racks 3 Jul 2007 (Forum)
  I've discovered my bike won't fit inside my Accord unless I put it in through the back door, which is a touch inconvenient and costing me £20 a time because I keep bending the mech hanger. Local Honda dealer advises that I can get a set of roof rails for £68 + VAT, which I can fit a bike carrier

• Civic Lights 10 Jan 2007 (Forum)
  I recently purchased an R Reg.Honda Civic 1.5ls Vtec, When driving on dipped or main beam, the headlights and dashboard illumination will dim and then brighten again. The dimming will sometimes last a few seconds, or will occur quickly, as if I am flashing my lights. My main Honda dealer has
• ...and the best car you've ever owned 14 Aug 2006 (Forum)
  Time for some cheery, positive vibes ! We've seen the thread for the worst car. How about your best car ? Mine was a Honda Integra Type R. I won't list the good points - the post would be too long. I'll just list the "sub-optimal" points : 1. Glovebox was a bit small. 2. It was a bit noisy

  ? It drives fine apart from this and changing between other gears is OK too... Any opinions welcomed apart from 'you should have bought a Honda' etc! Thanks
• How much!!! 8 Apr 2005 (Forum)
  One thing they don't tell you about the Honda Jazz is that the 25k service menu price is well over £300. There's also that annoying tendancy for manufacturers not to protect the radiator so if a stone enters via a large slot in the bumper...you could be in for a wait for a tow plus a non

• New Member of the Family. 7 Dec 2003 (Forum)
  Well - we did it today. Struck a deal on a Honda CG125 for SWMBO. 2.5 year old example a the right price. The next trauma is its collection from its previous keeper, and delivery (by PU) to PU towers for a gentle renovation over the winter. Now this will attract the attention of the Police

• Mitsubishi Galant Estate 29 Oct 2002 (Forum)
  I`m off to check out an automatic 2.0 and a 2.5 V6 Galant Estate in the next day or two. They look ideal: the size of an Omega with the reliability of a Honda and no image to speak of so minimal theft worrys!! Reasonable insurance - even for the 2.5 - and well within my £10K budget. As long as I
• space savers again 22 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  Should the space-saver not be the same diameter as the rest of the wheels.My better half has the honda jazz and the space saver wheel is a lot smaller than the standard wheel, so if she were to get a puncture in the front would it not want to pull to one side, or are you supposed to always put
