  1. exhaust rusted again.... so went and got a stainless exhaust put on from cat back
  2. yea i never noticed it just the mechanic pointed it out when he was doing the service, its handy enough to change it doesnt really support the engine its just for the torque when the engine is accelerating/braking. guy said that they often fail on Hondas and you dont notice until the gearbox ends up damaged, so glad I got it sorted
  3. today I replaced this which should be in one piece but was well and truly worn out! Forgot to take a pic of the new one but here it is all done Also last week I got her serviced, 2 new tyres on the front. The front brake pads are running low so will get to them after xmas. Also 2 of my shocks are leaking a bit should be ok for now though
  4. I think I've fixed it! I found this old post http://civic5.com/forum/index.php/topic/4642-ignition-barrel-problem/?p=66075 and cleaned the part at the end of the barrel, it was full of black gunk. Car starts fine now every time
  5. do I need to get a new key and everything? or just get a barrel from a breakers?
  6. Thanks! This seems to be exactly whats going wrong! no problems at all today starting it and letting the key back gently. I had the distributor cap off but it looks quite new I reckon it was changed before I bought it
  7. so in the last few days its happened that when I start the car, it just cuts out straight away.Then if I start it again and rev it a bit its fine. It was happening if the car was still warmed up i.e. only off for a few minutes. It happened twice today, and one of those times the car was cold, so I can only assume its getting worse. What do I need to check to fix this?
