Hello, This may be an obvious question, but are UK / US engine parts interchangeable? I'm helping a friend with a head gasket change, and I can't seem to find a 1.6L head gasket on rockauto, and I'm not sure where to find a reputable vendor. The websites I've tried have been decent, but nothing I feel confident in buying. He has a 2006 Hatchback, 1.6L, for reference. I would appreciate any advice you could share, as your personal experience means a lot! Thanks, Caleab

Smoke coming out of the exhaust 4 different times as I was driving I would feel the car go a bit ruff then smoke foot down smoke and a bit limp or missing then after 30 seconds to a minute it would go back to normal fine for a few weeks then same thing no engine lights or codes then today service and MOT emissions perfect but the oil level on the dipstick was higher than it should by about 3lt even though nobody had put any oil in since the last service and MOT and still no lights or codes

Found the issue of a brand new battery drain after 2-3 days . Being the fuse for the interior lights and the radio - not looked into yet due to the weather only removed the fuse as a temp fix. As far as i know all the interior lights work correctly and so does the basic stereo . What could i be looking for as the issue draining the battery. 2007 honda accord 2.0 155bhp saloon

Hi Fred, Sorry for late reply, if I remember correctly that Honda had a recall on the Drivers Air Bag problem causing the light to come on, it might be worth contacting Honda Main Dealer to find out about this recall, Hope this helps BAZZER RN 1

I checked Green Flag out who I found out are Motoring Assit offered me a good range of services for my car and the wife's for £16 month.. Job done!! Phoned RAC to cancel been with them 22 years bear in mind my renewal went from £29.50 to £46.99 and after a phone call last week went down to £31.00 they start talking about going down lower if I stay, I stopped the guy and said I knew he was doing his job but not to insult me with offers when the powers that be at the RAC would have been happy to screw me for £46.99. Asked him to get one of the 'top people' to call me so I could tell them my thoughts. There's no reward in being loyal these days and if you are they play on the idea that you won't leave. Alan

Hi squint68 You can place an advert in the Cars For Sale section of this forum if you wish

Just purchased car today, no problems with test drive. Clutch pedal sticking when changing gears. Not always, just once in a while. Have to use toe to lift clutch before changing gear.

This I believe would be one for the Administrators to answer

Hi where can I buy genuine car seat covers for a honda civic please

2010 Honda CR-V Auto Whilst the rear sensors are very loud, the front resemble the squeak of a dying mouse. Honda said that both sounds are made by the same unit and a replacement unit will cost over £350. Any ideas for amplifying the front sensors? Thanks in anticipation Brian Pfeiffer

Hello fellow Civic enthusiasts, I'm reaching out to the community for some advice regarding my 2005 Honda Civic 1.6 i-VTEC SE Hatchback 5dr. The car has been sitting unused for the past 9 years and unfortunately, does not start. It has an exceptionally low mileage of only 7,500 miles but requires significant work to get back on the road. Here are some of the issues: - The battery is dead, and there’s no oil or petrol. - Two of the tires are deflated. - All original keys are lost. I’m at a crossroads about whether to invest in repairs to potentially restore it to its former glory or to sell it as is. I understand that with a bit of investment, there might be a chance to revive it, especially considering the low mileage, which might attract collectors or restoration enthusiasts. Given your experience and passion for Civics, I’d love to get your input: - Do you think it’s worth repairing a Civic of this age and condition? - Are there specific challenges I should be aware of in restoring a Civic that has been idle for such a long period? - Or would it be more practical to simply sell the car as is and let someone else take on the project? Any advice, insights, or recommendations on mechanics or restoration experts who specialize in older Civics would also be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much for your help!

Hi, I have a 1984 honda accord 3GX 1829cc. I replaced the battery 3 weeks ago. I have only owned the car for 5 weeks and the interior clock stays on after the ignition is off and the numbers on the clock continuously ascend. So effectively the clock doesn't work. I left the car for a week and when I went back to it the car won't turn over and the clock is off and it appears that the new battery is completely dead. The only thing I can think of is that the car has an electrical fault and somehow the battery is being drained. (is the clock a clue?) Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be going on? Thanks.

Hi, Completely agree ! Everyone is taking the P+++ I wonder if the "green agenda/global warming " has its finger in the pie somewhere ? "they" (the system) want to punish vehicle drivers and get us off the road - 20 mph speed limits - 15 minute cities - Insurance premiums through the roof - road fund licence rising above reasonable cost - vehicle service costs and parts costs through the roof. All this is a concerted joint effort by the "powers that be" to destroy our motoring lives - and more importantly our freedom !!!!!!!!!! I wonder if or when the younger generation will hopefully see this and start the fightback ????

Had my renewal update from the RAC today, was £29.50 a month now going up to £46.99. !! So a phone call when I can find the right contact number- 'How can we help you today'? Easy cancel my membership your taking the P with that sort of increase I'll go with Green Flag. 'Lets see if I can help you' .....pause.... 'How about if we can renew your membership with all the current benefits for £31.00'?...... So I said yes but it seems we are being screwed left, right and centre if we don't fight back. Alan

Hello there, just collected my first Honda. Gone electric with the E:Ny1. (Catchy Name?) Very happy so far, range not perfect but ok for our current needs. Moved from Lexus, in part a little upset with their approach to the canbus thefts making their cars the most stolen in the UK by volume sold. Still a fan of Lexus quality and service, had LS400, LS430, GS300, IS200, IS300 and NX300 over many years so hoping Honda can delight me. Last three cars have been NX, Westfield and Corvette C6 so bit of a mixed bag.

Hi Stella, I have a 2020 Honda E, which has just been in to Newton's Croydon today; after my dash lit up like a Christmas tree telling me all the things were faulty starting with brakes. Then parking brake, collision detection, adaptive cruise control, one pedal driving, lane departure mitigation and low speed collision mitigation. After being away for a couple of weeks and going to take the car in for the diag, I found the brakes not to be functioning well... very soft and then a jump where I could then hear the friction brakes being applied, although it was as though it was an old cable style system with no assistance. I'm pleased I was only doing low speeds too! After going in for a diagnostic today - I was told the control unit is faulty. The cost to replace it is £3048! I was advised to speak to Honda direct, as they have seen a lot of these units on different vehicles failing. I think we need to get Honda to admit they have a faulty component and have them in for recall, as you said. Sorry I don't have anything more useful to offer at this point. Nash
