Thanks folks. I'm happy to get silly little things like those sorted, and fingers crossed that'll be the end of maintenance for a little while. It's due its MOT next month so I'm hoping for no surprises. One other little thing that has always bugged me was that the V5 designated the car as a VTI. I made some enquiries with Swansea and obtained a letter from Honda UK that stated that my car should be a VTI-S. The letter was accepted and I came home today to find my new V5 showing the car officially changed to a VTI-S Only took 15 years to correct lol

Just a wee update regarding Skunk 2 ball joints; A big thumbs up to Funkypower for supplying me new ball joints instead of the full arms. Makes it easier to line up old markings to save getting full suspension geo done again. They sent out the part first and trusted me to sent back the old ones, which I will obviously do. Not many companies would send parts out first. They would always take payment for replacement and refund when they get the faulty goods back. Saves me money and hassle having vehicle off the road. Again, top company.

Never thought I'd use the words 'B&Q' and 'bargain' in the same sentence but I've just been in my local store and their own brand Torq sockets seem very good value (just the sockets not the ratchets). I know they probably wont last as long as Snap On or Britool sockets but they're okay for occasional use or filling in the missing gaps in your set - I've lost count of how many 13mm's I've lost. As an example 13mm 3/8" socket - 67p, and the other end of the scale a large 32mm 1/2" deep socket (driveshaft hub nut etc) for £1.67. The cheapest 32mm on ebay by the time you pay for the postage is around £4.50. And I couldn't resist the 8 piece 3/8" deep socket set sizes 10-19mm for £5.58. Best to go to a store and see for yourself. They're all there on their website - but it's truly awful, I'll be amazed if anybody has ever bought anything from it. The two main bits of information you need when buying sockets are the ratchet connector size - ie 1/4", 3/8", 1/2" and the size of the bolt or nut you'll be using it on such as 13mm. But their website gives the external dimensions and even they don't make any sense - the aforementioned 3/8" 13mm socket is listed as H (45mm) and L (90mm). And all have the same descriptive text which either - 'This chrome vanadium (part number) deep socket from Torq is ideal for use on suitable for metal' or 'This chrome vanadium steel (part number) socket from Torq is ideal for use on metal, and comes with a high torque, making it easier to twist and tighten, but with the same level of performance.' ???? Putting aside the appalling grammar the information given is useless. All it needs to say is for example '3/8" 13mm socket suitable for tightening or loosening nuts and bolts'. And don't get me started on 'ideal for use on suitable for metal'

I recon it's a Honda Accord. Got to give him the benefit of the doubt by staying with the best brand out there...Honda

give me a few years but something along the same lines already started saving for a supercharger for it

we wouldn't do that tom!!

Top work !

Sweet

ye, i have too many products for one bag!! or even 2!!

need a bigger bag or you got a second man bag

I think that 4 star was 59p and unleaded was a fair bit cheaper

Paying around 112.9 a liter, if it gets any cheaper, I'm gonna look for a v8 powered daily...

fuel prices are coming down aswel so means more hooning!!!

It won't help as the ecu can't confirm if it is running at the correct air to fuel ratio, therefore it plays safe and runs slightly rich to protect the engine hence slightly lower fuel economy.

Here are ebay links with the official honda part code: http://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2050601.m570.l1313.TR0.TRC0.H0.X37750-PH2-014.TRS0&_nkw=37750-PH2-014&_sacat=0

£20 is hardly an arm and a leg so might as well.

cheers guy. My MB will still be my one true love and forever on going project my s2k is going to be hopefully a real fun toy mostly kitted out for track. after watching the s2000's owners club set up at japfest I have decided not to join them they were all over the show and up their own arses so this s2k stays in this club.

This finally arrived today from China... Jdm radiator dress up
