  2. Time to reminisce… Toys and Games Many of the classic toys and games that children are still playing with today were first created in the 1960s, and we found plenty of ways to fill our time without all the gadgets that are around now. Etch a Sketch The Etch a Sketch was one of the most wanted toys for Christmas 1960 and many of us spent hours trying to create masterpieces with those two fiddly dials. Lego Lego in the 60s required a lot more imagination than it does today. We didn't get detailed instructions and film characters. We just got coloured blocks that could be anything we wanted them to be. Meccano A lot of the engineers and mechanics of today started out with Meccano, but many of the rest of us also spent hours constructing intricate structures and machines on the kitchen table. Action Man Action Man was the British version of America's G.I.Joe. In the 1960s his adventures were all about the Second World War, which was still very present in people's memories. Barbie and Ken Barbie's boyfriend Ken first appeared in the 1960s, and in 1963 we also got introduced to Sindy, the British alternative to Barbie. Twister Twister, invented in 1966, gave many of us the chance to knock over our little brothers and sisters, but it could also provide a way to get closer to our crushes. Corgi Aston Martin DB5 The dream car for many of us during the 60s was Corgi's version of the Aston Martin DB5 driven by James Bond. It even had a working ejector seat. Skalextric Cars that actually drove around the track amazed us in the 60s, and Scalextrics are still being driven around many living rooms today. Space Hoppers The bright orange space hopper landed for the first time in 1969 and despite its rather creepy face, it was soon hopping through streets and gardens all around the UK. Raleigh Chopper The laid back Chopper came to the UK in 1968, giving younger kids of the 60s the chance to feel just as cool as our older siblings on their scooters. Mousetrap Mousetrap took a long time to set up and it usually needed a helping hand to get the cage down at the end of the game, but we always hoped it would work as well as it did on the adverts. Airfix Airfix models kept many of us hard at work in our bedrooms in the 1960s, building our own fleets of planes and cars. Gonks and Trolls Collecting the little fuzzy gonks or big-haired troll dolls became an obsession for many of us in the 60s, and even inspired a surreal film called Gonks Go Beat in 1965. Spirograph Spirograph got a lot of us drawing in circles when it was introduced in 1965 and it even seemed to inspire a lot of the patterns seen in the fashions of the late 60s. Portable Radios The chance to play your own music and share it with your friends was a dream come true for teens of the 60s when portable radios became available. TV and Film Some amazing films were produced in the 60s, but what we were watching on TV was just as exciting. We were lucky enough to get a third channel, BBC2, during this decade, and we started getting programmes that were actually made for people our age. Doctor Who The Doctor Who who first appeared in black and white in 1963 was very different from his latest incarnation, but he is still the best version to those of us who hid behind the sofa to watch him. Ready, Steady, Go! Friday evenings wouldn't have been the same without RSG! It featured all the top artists, including the Beatles, the Kinks and Sandie Shaw, but the best thing about it was that it was presented by teenagers for teenagers. Alfie (1966) Many of us liked to think our lives in the 60s were as complicated and carefree as Alfie's. It probably wasn't. James Bond The 60s gave us our first James Bond, Sean Connery, in some of the best Bond films: Dr No (1962), From Russia with Love (1963), Goldfinger (1964), Thunderball (1965), and You Only Live Twice (1967). Kes (1969) Kes was a heartbreaking story about growing up that resonated with many of us who were going through the same experience in the 60s, even if we didn't all get our own pet kestrels. The Avengers The Avengers TV series gave us some of the most memorable female characters of the 60s, alongside the traditional bowler-hatted John Steed. If… (1968) If was one of the most unique films of the 60s, and for those of us who were enduring our own school days it was surprisingly cathartic to see the pupils revolting. Star Trek The original Star Trek is one of the most memorable TV series of the 60s, and for those of us whose imaginations were grasped by the space race it really seemed like a glimpse into the future. Z Cars Z Cars was unusual in its time for being a grittier type of police drama, but for those of us growing up in the 60s it was mainly a chance to watch some exciting action that wasn't set in London or America. The Man from U.N.C.L.E Growing up in the 1960s, we heard a lot about the Cold War, so the Man From U.N.C.L.E. didn't always seem so far-fetched. Many of our fountain pens became communicators when we were running round playing spies. The Great Escape One of the classic films of the 60s, the Great Escape made us all feel like we could be as cool as Steve McQueen. Sergio Leone's Dollars Trilogy The series that gave us Clint Eastwood as the Man with No Name was one of the best Spaghetti westerns. A Fistful of Dollars (1964), For a Few Dollars More (1965), and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly (1966), were gritty but spectacular. The Twilight Zone The Twilight Zone gave a lot of us nightmares in the 1960s, but it is the title sequence and music that is most memorable. The Italian Job (1969) Michael Caine, minis driving stolen gold around Italy, and a literal cliff-hanger at the end- this was a film that had everything. Monty Python's Flying Circus Surreal, unique and hilarious, Monty Python first came to our screens in 1969, with some faces that we'd seen before in the children's comedy show Do Not Adjust Your Set. Music The music of the 60s took the Rock and Roll of the 50s and revolutionised the airwaves, with some of the best rock, pop and folk songs of all times. The Beatles Beatlemania was one of the defining trends of the 1960s, whether you were part of the screaming crowds or enjoying arguments over who was better, the Beatles or the Stones. The Rolling Stones The Stones were the other big British band of the 60s. Songs like Satisfaction and Paint it Black bring back memories of teenage hopes and heartbreak for many of us. Respect- Aretha Franklin (1967) One of the catchiest songs to sing along to, Respect was a great confidence booster from one of the most amazing voices of the 60s. Like a Rolling Stone- Bob Dylan (1965) Dylan was a poet of the 60s, and this is one of his most memorable songs. It is also one that gets better with age and experience. With a Little Help from My Friends- Joe Cocker (1969) Friendships are the most important thing when you are young, so this song about depending on them was deeply significant for many 1960s teens. The Monkees The Monkees started out as a TV band but actually managed to outsell the Beatles and Stones combined at some points in the decade. Itchycoo Park- Small Faces (1967) A psychedelic song that we loved as kids because of the reference to missing school where they teach the words of fools. Stand by Me- Ben E. King (1961) When this song turned up in the 80s film of the same name, it brought back fond memories of childhood friendship for many of us kids of the 60s. Sunny Afternoon- The Kinks (1966) The Kinks had some great hits in the 60s, but one of the fondest memories for anyone who was enjoying their long summer holidays during this decade must be Sunny Afternoon. The House of the Rising Sun- The Animals (1964) The distinctively 60s sound is enough to take you back to your teenage years, when this was the first four minute song to get to the top of the UK charts. Space Oddity- David Bowie (1969) Released just before the moon landing, this was a song that heralded the changes coming in the next decade. Glam rock was coming. Good Vibrations- The Beach Boys (1966) The Beach Boys made us long for the life of a Californian surfer when we were stuck in school in the grey UK, but Good Vibrations could make even the dullest day seem a little brighter. Puppet on a String- Sandie Shaw (1967) Puppet on a String is one of the chirpiest songs of the 60s, but it also brings back memories of the days when the UK actually managed to win the Eurovision song contest. All Along the Watchtower- Jimi Hendrix (1968) Many of us loves the original by Bob Dylan, but Hendrix's version released just six months later must be one of the greatest songs of all time. My Generation- The Who (1965) The song that expressed how we felt about our 60s generation, and which we know is still ours even when the new generations take it as their own anthem. Sweet Treats The 1960s was a great time to be a kid, particularly when you had pocket money to spend at the sweet shop. It was also a decade that saw many changes to the way we eat, with the first Chinese and Indian takeaways opening and foreign dishes like Spaghetti Bolognese appearing on our plates at home. Penny Sweets Bags of penny sweets like gobstoppers, black jacks and pear drops, were a big part of childhood in the 60s, and you could actually get several sweets for each penny back in the day. Spangles At 3d a pack, Spangles were a bargain as long as you didn't accidentally buy the Old English Flavours that included Aniseed, Liquorice and Treacle instead of the fruity ones. Sherbet Fountain There were two ways to eat a Sherbet Fountain: by biting the end off the liquorice stick and sucking the sherbet up, or by licking the stick and sipping it into the pouch. Fry's Five Centres Five centres was great as long as you liked all the sections or had a sibling who preferred the ones you hated. The 4d chocolate cream bar had orange, coffee, lime, blackcurrant and raspberry fillings. Kia Ora Kia Ora orange squash was the taste of childhood for many of us 60s kids. You used to be able to buy it at the cinema for 6d. Fizz Wiz Fizz Wiz Popping Candy was one of those sweets your parents thought would ruin your teeth, but that didn't stop us tipping whole packets of sherbet onto our tongues. Marathon You can still buy a Snickers today, but those of us who were there in the 60s know that it's really just a Marathon bar with a new name. Lucky Numbers Each of the chewy sweets in the box had its own number on the wrapper, but this wasn't always enough to convince parents they were really educational. Mint Cracknel The bright green centres looked like glass, and crunched like it too, but the chocolate covered bar was delicious and only cost 6d. Skippy The adverts made it look really trendy and sophisticated, but the chocolate and caramel covered wafer was just as tasty for kids in the suburbs. Smith's Crisps Smith's came in greaseproof paper bags with a generous serving of salt twisted up in blue paper, and they were the only crisps we knew until ready salted and flavoured crisps began to be sold in the 60s. Bubble Gum Cards Bubble Gum wasn't just about sweets in the 60s. It used to come with collectible cards that meant you had to keep coming back for more. Spanish Gold Spanish Gold was just coconut strips dusted in cocoa, but it was meant to look like loose tobacco. Block Ice Cream A lot of ice cream vans in the 60s served blocks of ice cream sandwiched between two wafers. They usually cost about 6d, and they were worth it as long as the ice cream didn't escape. 5 Boys Milk Chocolate We had plenty of chocolate bars to choose from in the 1960s, including the newly introduced Galaxy, but 5 Boys is the most memorable. The bar showed the five stages of Fry's chocolate, beginning with Desperation and ending with Realisation.

  3. That`s not the real reason ! How many motorcycles on the road compared to the number of cars, vans and lorries ? Also the tax is lower in comparison - To make most money they have to hit the majority and that is cars, vans and lorries - Also motorists have the AA and RAC to argue at government level but there is an old saying " You can`t Beat the System " The System being the Government and is designed to skrew the public ! Guy Fawkes tried to beat the system - and look what they did to him ! As an aside, when I bought the Accord I have now in 2008 I wanted to go pick the car up myself - on my own - I checked public transport - by train is was impossible - no usable links from my home to the garage, checked the bus service - it would take around 5 hours and 6 buses !!!! I do not live out in the wild - but in Bolton greater Manchester, the garage was in Ashton-under-Lyne - which takes 25 minutes to drive there by car - that`s public transport for you - useless ! BUT when we get the " 15 minute cities " that keeps being muted - what would we want a car OR motorcycle for ? we could all ride round in circles providing there is no ULEZ charge of course ! This is what our children and grand children have to look forward to !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  5. There is an irony with all of this movement toward electric vehicles I'll leave this here..... The trolley bus (electric and in use during the early part of the 20th century) The humble milk float (electric and silently delivered out milk - in glass recyclable bottles) Once a common sight on the roads and electric I don't call what we have now progress - it is literally reinventing the wheel !!!

Hi Alan Some good advice as usual from Trevor, I also have a Mercedes e320 CD Avantgarde and concur with all the comments Trevor has made and exactly the case when on the Motorway change down the Gears and give it a blast through it seems to do the trick and keeps the Injectors clean which is the main problem sometimes with an erratic diesel engine not running smoothly, and a dose of Fortes Injector Cleaner helps as well BAZZER RN 1

  9. Hi! Any API category above SJ or SL is superior and you can use API SN without fear, it is better than hanbook recommendation. Beside the OEM Honda engine oil, if you stick to 5w30 or 5w40 viscosity index, you have a lot of good oil brands at your disposal (Liqui Molly, Ravenol, Motul, Mobil1, Yacco, etc.). I know that some honda dealers are using Castrol engine oil in after warranty service, but I don't trust Castrol as in my country this is the most fake fabricated oil (I live in Roumania). As long as you keep a yearly oil change interval or max 10k km, you can use the cheapest oil which respects the handbook or is above those specs.

  19. That doesn't sounds too bad cost wise and to replace in terms of labour It does sounds plausible and also in the colder season it does tend to knock out sensors. Let us know how it all goes and fingers crossed it resolves the issue.....either way at least you get a coolant change which is always an overlooked service item

  20. Hi - is the bonnet sensor just a push switch like the door switch that turns the interior light on when the door is opened ? If so you could just depress the switch and tape it down just to check it ! Just a thought !

  21. Without being political and going off on a rant - we don't want to ban anybody on here (yet!) 🙂 I tend to steer clear of anything to do with politics and especially the news as its so depressing and not a lot that any of us can do about the outcome. Added to that, put bias, sensationalism and inaccurate news reporting into the mix and its understandable we're in the position as we are in this country. Returning to discussion on cars and the future of driving.....personally I now hate driving and would give it up in a heartbeat as its not enjoyable anymore....used to be that you could take the car out and enjoy a nice drive without the inconvenience of road works, restrictions of every kind and also the costs involved. The car sits on the drive for a week at a time if not longer. However, I do have a couple of motorbikes to get my kicks on the road and have to say that even though it is somewhat more expensive, it is however much more fun! It genuinely gives you that sense of freedom that you used to get from driving a car On a footnote, it has always been the motorist that is the easy target to penalise for everything in the UK it is slightly more difficult to target the motorcyclist as there are such groups as Motorcycle Action Group (MAG) that will argue everything at government level and protect our rights whereas motorists don't have such a strong voice in the houses of parliament...food for thought!

  25. Introduction: so I have myself a Honda Concerto, and have recently upgraded all speakers. the fronts were common sense, however when it came to the rears. I realised it wasn’t as simple and there was no write up on it. Tools needed: 17mm socket & a 3/8s ratchet 8mm socket ( I used a long 8mm ) and a quarter inch Ratchet. a pozzy screwdriver. Plastic trim tool. * I will add pictures also * To start off. the speaker is underneath the plastic shelf. To remove this you will need to undo 4 pozzy head screws, this will then undo the shelf. However, You will need to fold the seat down, and using a plastic trim tool. Pop off the plastic top off the seatbelt guide. once this is done, There you will see a 17mm bolt and a 8mm nut that you need to remove to undo the seatbelt runner/guide? This will then give you access to slide the plastic shelf covering the speaker off. Once you have removed that, you can then using a screwdriver undo the 4 screws holding the old speaker in place & begin with connecting and fitting your new set in. What size speaker?: for the rear I literally just bought the Pioneer TS-R1350S. They are 13cm and are the perfect fit. And for the fronts, I reckon you could go to the next size up. funnily enough, I did not take pictures of them fully fitted. ( it started raining ) But I can add a picture of them later on, ( take it from me, don’t remove the circle speaker top😂 as they will just snap :’) ( nothing a bit of super glue won’t fix - don’t @ me haha

  26. I have had the same problem with my 2014 CRV. I keep hitting the same brick wall with Honda. If they produce a vehicle with updatable equipment, then they should produce the updates when needed. I am in Scotland and a major duel carriageway built 4 years ago in my area doesn't appear on my sat nav, it shows me driving across fields. Major changes have been made in my local city which make the sat nav useless. why should I have to purchase a stick on window sat nav when I have one that should have more recent updates. Come on Honda, get your act together and support the people that buy your cars. Not everyone can afford to buy a new car.

  30. Just purchased my prelude, travelled 2 and a half hours bought it then as I'm going downhill towards a roundabout it cut out,managed to swing it round to a self place, buses and lorries could get past me. Realised as long as I keep the revs up the car is fine so I swung it round and parked it at a McDonald's them collected the next day. Figure it just needs new fuel, spark plugs, alternator and a general service. Hopefully get it 100% in a couple of days. Apart from that it's sound. Look forward to posting more on it soon.

  31. JRA your post sums up the way we are treated by our lords and masters, they seem to forget that they work for us (or should) instead it seems they can get away with any thing with no real recall and after 5, 10 or so years walk awalk without a care.

  32. I've had that happened once or twice. I think it's when the deadlocks get jammed/refuse to unlock. However in my case it has sorted itself out. I have a suspicion that a vertical jolt to the door e.g. when being lifted up or put down on a lift ramp it somehow seems to make it work again temporarily. I tried bashing it from underneath with a hammer and this didn't help. The most common thing that happens frequently to mine is that I have is that the front passenger door doesn't lock automatically with the central locking, but the manual interior locking tab works.

  38. Generally a diesel engine needs to be run hard and they are governed to avoid over-revving so are safe to run fast If the engine is not pushed then the carbon from burnt fuel clogs up injectors, EGR, DPF, inlet manifolds and this reduces performance and costs lots in repairs If the engine is run at low revs then pushed hard in a high gear then this means the engine can usually deliver the power by way of the turbo but also causes the Dual Mass Flywheel (DMF) and clutch to slip, also costing money The trick is to keep the revs high in the appropriate gear until you change up and if cruising on the motorway then fine to change up and lower the revs but at any opportunity to give it a clear out (slip roads are a favourite)

  42. Hi All. I'm not new to honda , or classic cars, but this looks about the best fit! We have just acquired a 89 Accord Aerodeck, which I'm sure plenty is shared with the prelude. Between my partner and I, we have 20 cars! There are a good trench of rovers in there, which a lot of them are a honda in drag. I've also had a 99 legend. A prelude or legend coupe are on the shopping list. Parts look to be fun and games for the 80s stuff. I got around the headlamps easy enough ( acclaim ones) but suspension looks a nightmare to get spares for. Any tips or good sources ? Regards Mark

  43. Hi Mark....welcome to the Club Honda suspension parts are proving very difficult to acquire lately for any model of Honda it seems Try Autodoc who are based in Europe and have found them useful for a whole range of parts that are now hard to get over here Wow! 20 cars is a lot....the most I've ever had at one time was 11 🙂 I profess to be an avid Rover fan myself and have had almost every model they built in the 80's and 90's - The 200 BRM was my all-time favourite and should never have sold it Good to have you on board and if you can help out with answering any member's questions on the older Honda models then please feel free to get stuck in

  46. Hey folks! After owning several civic EJ9's for the first 4 years of my driving career, I managed to snag myself a DC5 Integra Type R. Owned it for about a year now but finally getting round to putting myself out there! I'm pretty new to the K series motor and will have to beg for patience when it comes to knowledge because i'm completely new to actually trying to learn about my car and all it's glory! Probably will ask some silly questions that have been answered before.. Sorry in advance ~ Matt 😉

  47. Hi , I thought I would share this tip with you, I have been using DiamondBrite Ceramic Glaze for a while after washing my CRV and the results are fantastic, It comes in a Spray Bottle and its easy to use, it puts a ceramic glaze protective coating on the paintwork and provides excellent beading when it rains. its not that expensive and gives a mirror like finish after use, My car is Night Hawk Black so not easy to keep clean but this certainly helps.Give it a try and let other Members know if your as pleased as I am with the result Just a Tip Guys BAZZER RN 1

  48. Hi, I had similar problem just the one time, it took ages to "pick up signal" all I can say is be patient - try driving around away from a built up area, at least you got this far and it is recognising the disc - so looking promising ! If it repeatedly shows the same screen - try disconnecting the battery for an hour or so, maybe overnight, pain in the bum I know but sometimes it pays to persevere. After that I don`t know to be honest. Good luck

  49. Hi all. I have had a 2008 Mk 8 Honda Accord 2.4 auto (200bhp) saloon with ADAS for 9 years. 100,000 miles. No problems and it is a fabulous, reliable and good looking car. Except last January 2022 my Satnav stopped working and the clock went several hours out. I went into the menu but no go. I took the disc out and several weeks later the Satnav started working but it didn’t show time for trip etc. But yesterday…surprise, the clock righted itself (an hour slow) but duration time of journey now shows! A long winded story. I presume it will correct itself in October when the clocks go back!
