Hi Good evening, would like some advice please... so few weeks ago changing gear was getting harder and harder and was grinding gears so took it into a garage who replaced the clutch master cylinder said it was leaking and had no fluid in biting point is really low to the ground but no clutch slippage. 2 weeks on biting point is still pretty low to the floor and sometimes still grinds putting it into a gear its much better than it was but still occasional, also the gear lever in general feels like it could go in and out of gears a bit easier not the smoothest ... anyone any ideas?? does it need a clutch adjustment or gearbox oil change…

Joining here because the only key that we have to my partners car has stopped working. The electronic part, that is. We can still drive it, but the alarm is constantly on. I've bought a new, blank key and have seen many Youtube videos telling me that I can sync the new key to the car, but none of them seem to work. Anyone know if it really is possible to sync a new key? Martin

Hi everyone, would be grateful for some opinions. I have just purchased a 2009 1.8 manual Civic with around 90,000 miles on it and a mostly full service history. I have had similar aged mazda and fords in the past where I have had the starter motors fail at this age. I can not be left stranded out and about, so I have contacted Honda and asked them how long the starter motors were designed or expected to last. They were unable to answer (even their head office in Japan). Does anyone have any anecdotal experience? Obviously, there is a huge amount of variables and no guarantees. But how long do these tend to last? Do they start failing after i.e. 15…

I own a Civic 1.8 SE, on an 07 plate. It is by far the best car I have owned and has been very well behaved and reliable. Brakes replaced, battery replaced, brakes replaced again including rear discs this time. Battery replaced again. Rear number plate light filaments replaced and by far the most awkward job, front nearside side light filament! Today, the central locking has failed combined with unable to cancel hazard warning lights (alarm). Engine starts as normal, hazards activate, after approx 30 seconds hazards de-activate for a couple of seconds and then start again. I have checked fuses, seem OK. What to do next. Please Help!

Greetings all, My first post here, I've signed up as I need help locating the knock sensor on my I-CTDI 2.2 diesel 2009 civic. The Haynes manual only says that for ALL 8th gen models the sensor is behind the inlet manifold in plain sight. However it is not. And it's not anywhere nearby as far as I can see. What's more, I can find absolutely zero info/threads/videos about knock sensors on diesel civics, total zilch. Not one mention. Which leads me to the question - do they even have knock sensors?! But they must, as the car has been throwing up the error code for faulty knock sensor and the car…

During a system report I have been notified of P0847 - Transmission Fluid Pressure Switch "B" (Third Clutch) Circuit Low. I have tried to investigate further but can you help if this is a garage job or something I can easily do myself (ps I am pretty useless with cars). Appreciate your help, Matt

Hi all! Recently purchased an 08 1.8 ivtec 5door hatch UK spec and have an issue with the right drivers side window run channel. It has a small nick in it which causes the window to jam. But the biggest issue with this is... Honda have discontinued the part and it seems no where sells it!!! Does anyone has a source for this part? i believe the part number to be 72235-SMG-E01 (but you can correct me on that) Any help from any other owners would be huuugely appreciated! Thanks guys

Hi all, I currently own a 2008 Civic 2.2 cdti. The rear suspension was a bit tired so I ordered a new pair of Monroe rear shock absorbers. When they arrived I noticed that they don’t have any dust covers. Will I be able to use the old OEM dust covers? Or is it not necessary to have them? Thanks in advance!!

Hiya folks. I have an 09 2.2 diesel with an annoying ABS warning light….. The warning came on a few months ago and showed a fault with the OSR sensor. I eventually got round to replacing the offending item o oh to find that a fault was now also showing for the OSF sensor. A pain in the butt, but got that replaced too. The warning light now periodically comes on, and then resets when the ignition is turned off for a period of time. There seems to be no pattern for it in terms of speed, journey duration etc. Sometimes I can do my 20mile commute and it’s fine, other times I might go a mile and it comes on. I’ve had all the sensors disconnected and the con…

Hi. Has anyone got any suggestions about how to improve the fuel economy that does not involve tips on driving behaviour. For example remapping, or new microchip, etc? Many thanks. Pete

I have tried to pin down the type of auto transmission fluid filter I need for my 2011 Civic auto 1.8 i-VTEC. There appears to be different types but all listed as suitable replacements. Has anyone else come across this. Also will replacing the old fluid increase the mpg as it is pretty poor. If not are there any suggestions as to improving the mpg. I am not a heavy footed driver! Any advice would be very much appreciated. Pete

Hi Folks! I know my civic is old, its a 55 plate, first reg Feb 06, so probably 05 manufacture, but does anybody know if there is a way of telling how near start of manufacture it is, or how many in the UK are older? Hope to hear from you.

I have bought an automatic civic 5 door 1.8 i-VTEC SE registered 30.03/2011. Since owning this car it was unable to start after 20 minutes of having the ignition on whilst checking the dashboard with the manual. Yet when I tried again 10 minutes later it started first time. Next the remote could not activate the lock to allow entry so I had to use the key. Then the radio decided to refuse to work and defaulted to AUX but it would not turn on and none of the buttons worked. Yet 4 days later it worked fine. The following day the remote unlocked the door but the radio is not working again. I contacted a Honda dealer who said it was a battery problem and I might h…

Hi all new member here, just bought a 68 plate (Jan 2019) Civic 1.5L Manual Prestige, running on petrol. I was reading the car manual which says it is ok to use regular petrol aka E10 ones temporarily but not for ongoing use as otherwise it might damage the engine. Is this actually the case? I am not sure if I am prepared to pay for the premium E5 petrol on a regular basis in view of current sky high fuel price in the UK...but then when I look at this official Honda article on this topic it seems to suggest both E5 and E10 petrol are fine to use. Any advice are appreciated. Many thanks.
