    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!!

    I’m looking into buying a Honda Civic this weekend as I’ve always like how they look and I generally think they’re good cars. But I don’t know much about the insides, I’m looking at a 1.8 civic that’s got 218,000 miles on but is £795.. do you think this is a good cheap car to get?

    I have a 2013 Honda Civic. Occasionally when you have been driving it and switch off the engine to pop into the shop it won't start. The engine is cranking but its not catching. If you wait 30 minutes after switching it off it will start no trouble. It has been to the Honda dealership to go on the diagnostic machine but they couldn't find any fault. If I have to switch the engine off i worry it won't start and i also can't use the stop/start as a result. Does anyone know what the problem might be?

    Hi all, I Recently had the car in for a diagnostic check and the garage confirmed the engine was getting up to temp (78c)? but the heater in this car is useless! I have it on max constantly and in this weather the car is never warm inside even after 40+ minutes of driving. The air that comes out of the vents is tepid at best. I am having to wear my coat, hat and gloves all the time while driving this car! 😨 I know diesels do take a while to warm up but surely this is not right? I did ask the garage to investigate it but they were a bit dismissive and just said the car is getting up to temp and the heater works... The car is a 2007 Civic 2.2ctdi.…

    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…

    Evening I’m having an issue with my civic 57 plate. The heater blower works when it wants to which generally never. I’ve checked the fuses and they are fine. I’ve seen on YouTube that the resistor and fan motor are often the problem. The videos are generally in USA so not sure if the cars are built the same way. any help appreciated

    Hi folks Just looking to see if anyone has any idea what is going on with my civic. I own a 2007 Honda Civic type S 1.8 petrol semi-automatic. On Friday when I started it it came up with the system check cog, the engine still run fine but it wouldn't let me go out of neutral. It eventually went away and was okay. I decided not to drive it at this point. Later on I went out to try it again and it worked fine so I took it for a run around the block (which included driving up a hill) and there were no problems. Later that night I went to go out in it to drop someone off, it was okay to start I drove out the street and up a hill and the system check cog came on and i…

    Good morning fellow Civic owners. Has anyone had experience of a leaking aircon system? Days after regassing only warm air was coming through. A dye test showed no leak in the pipe, so it might be condenser or compressor? Would be interested to hear anyone's similar experience and outcome? Thanks in anticipation.

    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.

    Hi all, New Honda ownere here, recently picked up a bargain Civic 2.2 ctdi. I've notice the temp guage never quite hits the middle even on extended drives (see pic) The heater does also seem a little weak in cold weather. Is this right or is the the thermostat shot? Is there any way I can see what temp the engine is actually running at without a diagnostic machine? Cheers, Niall

    Hi, I have a 2007 Honda Civic type S 1.8. When the car is started I can hear a grinding type noise, but when I press the clutch down the noise goes away. Also when driving the grinding noise is there. I had the clutch bearing replaced (there where three parts of the clutch changed but I don't know the names of them parts) Does anyone know what the issue could be?

    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!

    Hi guys, i have a 2006 honda civic 1.8, a few months ago when not started for a couple of days the battery would drain, and i would have to jump start, then all would be fine as long as i started and ran the car daily, the past couple of weeks as soon as i turn off the engine the car is dead and will not start, i changed the battery a few months ago thinking it was that, the car runs fine when running, i am reluctant to take to a garage as im worried they will throw the parts cannon at it, Also i did remove the bluetooth module as i had heard that this was a common problem with these cars, it made no diference thanks steve
