    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…

    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?

    Can anyone help. My 2007 2.2 diesel type s decided to play up when I needed to get to work. I started to clear the frost my windscreen came back to it 15 minutes later and noticed alll the dash lights are on and the dash flickering and getting brighter as I rev it. The steering wheel was locked in place and the power steering warning light on. It had been fine the day before and the battery is less than 18 months old. I have gone back to the car just a second ago all the dash is on and still flickering radio works but now it won't start. My mechanic is in bed with man flu is there anything I can try in the mean time? Many thanks

  7. Hi Stupid newbie question....Just looking at buying a 2008 civic which is listed as sequential manual. I have also seen sequential autos and wondered if these are different or if they are just different names for the ISHIFT system? MY missis doesn't want to drive an auto or semi auto and I have heard that the I SHIFT system can be problematic? Ta in advance!

    Thinking about a 2012 Civic automatic. A couple of queries:- What are the headlights like. It may seem an odd question but on some cars the later LED or HID units are so much better than Halogen bulbs. Are Civic Halogen, LED or HID? Also are there any issues or problems with the auto boxes? I would also like some of the modern safety features such as Autonomous Emergency Braking but I am bnot sure which Hondas have that and what year that was introduced?

    I have a '61 reg 1.8 Civic ES . I want to buy a space saver wheel to replace the repair kit , which is date-expired anyway . The car has 17" alloys fitted , and on the face of things I can find lots of space-saver wheels on Ebay etc . However , I have seen references to wheels not fitting cars with the larger backplates , and mine has these . How do I ascertain that a given wheel will fit over my large backplates ? What is the spec I need to look for ? Thanks hopefully ..........

    I have had Lionel from new and have wanted to upgrade the feeble horn. How do I get to it and can I fit another one adjacent? I fitted another one in parallel on my Jazz and it sounded great afterwards. That location was in front of the o/s front wheel behind the wheel arch liner. I have finally discovered it down by aircon heat exchanger, RH side when viewed from front. It looks extremely difficult to connect another one in parallel unless I remove sump guard etc.

    I read somewhere that it is good to clean the MAF Sensor (Mass Air Flow sensor) every now and again with some isopropyl alcohol from Maplins. Anyone else done this? Any tips? thanks

    Hi All. New here because my wife has just got a Civic ES.Without thinking I went out and bought a set of parking sensors only to find its not that straight forward a job getting in behind front and rear bumpers to check for hole drilling and to feed wires. Has anybody done this job or can advise me how to gain access. Regards Keith.
