• Growing on me..... 12 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Way to work this morning, was overtaken by "Bangle" BMs 3, 5, and 1 series, and I now reckon that they look good. Couple of years ago thought they were awful. Also overtaken by a "new" Honda Civic which, when they were introduced looked good to me, now look awful to me - do your tastes change over
• Tyres, can you tell the difference? 11 Dec 2006 (Forum)
  Hi, I have just had new pirelli P7 tyres fitted to my Honda Civic 1.6. Previously It ran on Dunlop 300E 195-60-15 H, what has surprised me is the difference in the ride. The ride is much smoother and seems to roll a lot easier. At first I thought I was imagining it all until my wife noticed

  As per my post a couple of weeks ago I am going to get a used Nissan QX or Honda Accord (whichever turns up first for best price), Budget will be <2k. What month will I get the best deal from a trader? Will it be December or January? I wont buy before December but could last until February
• How much is 'cost' price 13 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  - I mean important. Any way - the letter is in the shredder now but it did cause me to think what is cost and what discount on brochure price would they be offering. I thought it was about 5% - is this correct ? To clarify - they state cost as the price they pay Honda for the car.
• Harsh rides! 29 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  cars where the ride leaves much to be desired when subjected to our ever deteriorating road surfaces. I read condensed reports in the What Car Magazine where time and time again the suspension is criticised and this even is even apparent in recent cars such as the new Ford Focus and Honda Civic.
• New Civic £15,000 - Deal or no Deal! 18 Jul 2006 (Forum)
  Very quick question, I'm looking to buy a New Honda Civic ES with some bits and bats on that takes the list price to just over £16100. I wanted to buy at £15,000 but they said they couldn't get down to that price, the nearest they could go was to knock about £600 of the price. I've since had
• Body Stiffness 19 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  compare one car against another e.g. A Honda Accord Vs VW Passat Vs Ford Mondeo. Presumably to do so you would need to know what the torsional stiffness values are and where they are recorded. Can anyone advice where I could find this information. Thanks in advance
• FAQs - Speed Humps / Cushions / Bumps 10 Apr 2006 (Forum)
  Hi Peeps, I am new to this marvellous site and was looking for an 'FAQ' section. Having not found one and not being too successful with the site search I will try a question that I need some guidance on: I have changed from a Honda CRV to a Mondeo TDCI hatchback (04) with 17" wheels and wide (ish
• Our own motoring programme 17 Aug 2005 (Forum)
  TG going off air for a few weeks and mention of Phil Llewellyn set me thinking - let's design our own motoring programme. You can have any (motoring) subject, any presenter, alive or dead. I'll start with driving techniques and anything to do with Honda - LJKS Motorsport reporting, to cover F1

• Reversing sensors and Insurance. 18 May 2005 (Forum)
  I have been unsucessful in my attempts to find out whether the fitting of a reversing aid to my 2003 Honda Accord will affect my insurance premiums. All I can find out from TESCO insurance is that they will definately need to be informed if I fit this as it is regarded as a modification. Has anyone
• Accord 2.4 and 2.0 mpg 24 Feb 2005 (Forum)
  At the moment I have a Honda CR-V as I live in the country down a farm track but I am moving to our local town in a couple of months. I would prefer to go back to a normal estate and am very interested in an Accord Tourer. It has to be petrol as I want an auto. Various threads recently have covered

  Hi, I took my car for an MOT saturday and it failed as the rear seat belt webbing has a tear in it.! The MOT guy has told me that if I cut the seat belt it will be able to pass as it can\'t be used as a seat belt!?? Can someone clarify this? I was told that I could buy a new one (from Honda) its
• Caravan colours 17 Aug 2004 (Forum)
  and nothing darker, apart from an occasional stripe or two. Why aren't some vans painted the same colour as the towcar, to make a nice outfit (a la Honda Goldwing + trailer)? Or, even better, British Army matt dark green, so they blend in with the countryside? Don't manufacturers offer a choice
• New 45/MG ZS 29 Apr 2004 (Forum)
  Just seen the pictures of the front and rear of the ZS, looks alot more sporty and aggressive. The rear especially, very similar to an evo or impreza. Still havent seen the dash, as honda have stopped producing them, rumours the dash will be manufactured by tata within time. i just cant see
• Performance Petrol 20 Oct 2003 (Forum)
  Does anyone use super unleaded when their car runs on normal unleaded, for extra performance? My Honda dealer suggested Shell Optimax for my Civic Type-R, if the price differential is relatively small, as it is 98 Ron as opposed to other super unleaded which is 97 Ron. Has anyone noticed
• car insurance payout 4 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  I have recently had my car stolen - it was an R reg (1997) Honda Civic 1.5 Vtec 5 door, and had done aprox 47,000 miles. I am wondering if there is anything I should be aware of when trying to get the best pay out from the insurance company, It had a full service history and had just been taxed
• Stick-on protective mouldings 28 Aug 2002 (Forum)
  How do you remove the mouldings that are attached using double sided adhesive tape?. As my main Honda dealer has made such a mess of fitting the corner mouldings to my Jazz I have decided to fit the replacements myself.I have already fitted the side mouldings. This has been ongoing for the past 6
• 2nd best 4x4 5 Apr 2002 (Forum)
  and children), but still want to go green laning, what would you suggest? I asked the Honda dealer about a CRV - You mustn't take it off road, sir! The Vauxhall dealer tell me that the Frontera is good off road. Is that true? Would I be better off with a Frontera than a Freelander? Any other suggestions
• All makes - Annoying rattles knocks and squeaks 27 Mar 2024 (Forum)
  The one thing that really annoys me is the mystery noises that seem to plague most cars and are so difficult to identify and fix. My new Golf Mk 6 had a rattle from the dashboard which the main dealer tried to fix but ended up making it much worse..  Similarly my Honda Accord had
