• How long are they designed to last 29 Nov 2006 (Forum)
  Honda say that the 2.4l vtec will last 150K when they designed their latest engine - what is a realistic figure (with proper servicing) do you think.

• Civic battery drain. 20 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  I'm asking this one on behalf of a friend's car. He's got a mid-90s Honda Civic 1.5 16v engine I think. If he leaves the car overnight it seems the battery hasn't got enough grunt to start the engine. But if he disconnects the battery overnight it starts fine. So I decided to measure the current
• unsold BMW 9 Mar 2006 (Forum)
  rear view mirror. Very good condition. I put it in at £9k. Is the price too high? Is this a bad time of year? Any suggestions (ebay, for example)? She's already found a Honda Accord owned by a friend's father- we're keen to sell, as Accord's owner is waiting to take delivery of his new company car
• New CRV 21 Feb 2006 (Forum)
  My current CRV is now 30 months old and I fancy a new one, it's been an excellent car except for, as an only car it's a little bit thirsty for everyday running around. Honda now do the diesel CRV which gets good write-ups and at the moment they have a "free" upgrade ie buy the petrol SE and we'll
• Reasonable reapir price ;o) 9 Jan 2006 (Forum)
  My Honda decided to drop it's guts over the road last week, I did not have a clue as to what it was, so took it to our local independent (whose workshop is cleaner then any main dealers I have been to) and he has just told me it was the oil seal at the end of the crank (common fault on this engine
• removing bumper scuffs 10 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  Anybody out there help, a little old lady scraped my back bumper yesterday, 2003 Honda CRV, its the black bumper not the painted one, doesn't seem to have broke the surface just a few lighter (in colour) marks. I have no wish to sting the old dear for a new bumper but would like to get the marks
• Low End Torque - Petrol engines 7 Dec 2005 (Forum)
  there is no equivalent sized petrol engine that can come even close to the torque of a turbo diesel, but does anyone know where I could get torque curve data for various engines. I fancy a Honda 2.0S Civic, but the maximum torque on that engine is at 5000 rpm, and I would like to know what % of torque is available
• Thinking of Changing My Car 7 Nov 2005 (Forum)
  . The electric tailgate is still giving problems and it's a day's journey to take it to the dealer - that's a slight exaggeration - but dealers are few and far apart. In France it's 45 miles to the nearest Honda dealer. Granted, the problems have not been major, but they are niggly. Coupled
• SoftRoader 4x4 's 14 Dec 2004 (Forum)
  to 1000 miles on a weekly basis, but average of 250 miles per week. Reliability - This will be a self purchase to last 4+ years Automatic gears. No people carriers - we do not need 7 seats, but do need a big boot. We have looked at the new Honda CRV, and the Mitsi Pinin. The Isuzu Trooper is too thirsty
• Jazz/Fit 1.5 Vtech 16 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  I drive circa 30k a year private miles and have run a Honda Jazz for the last 2 years which I now feel I have wrung the most out of and I'm due a change. (Laugh if you liek but it's a brilliant bit of kit with more interior space than the A4 my wife drives and has averaged over 50 mpg in 60K miles
• 1995 Vauxhall Omega 3.0L V6 Auto 4 Oct 2004 (Forum)
  ? This car is 9 years old so I wouldn't expect it to be mechanically tip top, but I don't want it to be on the verge of blowing up either. The funny thing is he's selling it because he wasn't happy with his Honda Accord Type R's fuel consumption, so he bought the Omega instead, and is selling it one month

• Glass's valuations 9 Feb 2004 (Forum)
  I recently had 2 trade-in offers on my Golf GT TDi PD130 against a Honda Accord Tourer.These were £9800 and £10250. I was somewhat taken aback by the low offer and thought I would use the Glass's valuation service, linked from this site, to check these offers. Glass's came up with a valuation
• 7 seater advice please 17 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  I want to buy a seven-seater and sell my 98 Passat 20v estate auto, which isn't really the best car for the kind of driving (mostly in town) that I do. I looked at a used Toyota Avensis Verso yesterday - really nice and much better than the Honda Stream, which I'd seen before, and not too MPVey
• 4X4/SUV - Spare wheel mounting 17 Sep 2003 (Forum)
  The position of the spare wheel on 4X4/SUVs generally seems to be; a. on the tailgate - Honda CRV, LR Discovery, Toyota LC Colorado, Isuzu Trooper, Mitsu Shogun etc. b. under the rear - Range Rover, Toyota LC Amazon, Nissan Patrol etc. However, UK spec Amazons/Patrols have their spare under
• Free-revving engines 19 May 2003 (Forum)
  done 1000 miles!)! Honda engines seem to be generally classed as free-revving…..but what does it mean? Thanks everyone, Andrew.
• Bring on the clowns! 10 Apr 2003 (Forum)
  Was in my wife\'s Honda Jazz today and was nearly hit twice in 2 minutes by the same dim motorist. First time was when she did not see that I had the right of way at a junction and then later she decided to change her direction and cross my path at the next junction. On both occasions I gave her
• Nitrous Oxide 23 Sep 2002 (Forum)
  question is, is it desirable? The car is a Honda Vtec. I understand that a problem with nox is that while on modern engines the induction and ignition of the petrol air mixture is achieved with incredibly precise timing, it becomes difficult to get the timing right with the different reqirements
• Reliability 9 Dec 2001 (Forum)
  of the window and buy German or Japanese? Several years ago I flew the flag, to my cost, with Austin and British Leyland and it cost me an arm and a leg, apart from time lost and frustration. I recently bought myself an MB 320CDI and am proposing to buy a Honda Civic for seconds. All the various satisfaction
