  1. 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 ????
  2. Absolutely brilliant !!!! Keep up the good work 🤣
  3. Yes its the passenger TAKATA air bag. See Trevors earlier post with a link for more info.
  4. Yes that makes sense - some great knowledge on here - Good luck !
  5. Far too complicated for me ! I am still using 2005 sat nav and a TomTom when it gets tricky 😉 Good luck ! Could you not just ask the dealership ?
  6. Hi, " What3Words " can you explain please ?
  7. What a great idea ! BUT the problem is " They " would not allow it !! Common Sense Fairness and Reality would not be allowed - people have been shot for less !! or worse - Guy Fawkes being a good example 🤭 the " System " can not be beaten !
  8. Hi, tons of video`s on youtube - and should not cost a fortune " Good luck jimbojim
  9. Hi all - Find a good independant garage with a good reputation and stick with them !
  10. Hi all, just a thought I am going to fit new rear drop links on my 2005 Accord 2.4 auto tourer - the car has almost 270,000 miles on and they are the originals - I will not pay Honda prices, so the question is = what make should I go for and what make are the Honda originals ? I don`t want cheap rubbish I can get a pair unknown for £11 post free or a pair of MEYLE for £30 post free, I think I am going for the latter but thought I would ask the question anyway - Thanks in advance jimbojim
  11. Hi yes Alan gsd - what people don`t realise is the "lost taxes" as you say - Once petrol and diesel cars are done away with, the vastly reduced number of cars (electric) on the road - the prices rise accordingly as they are slowly but surely doing right now - the shortfall will have to be made up " somewhere " and that includes amongst other things " taxation " the fewer the cars - the higher the cost to everyone, especially on electric car drivers ! If people look at the general PUSH to " Net Zero " now and in the future and do the maths - its obvious what the outcome will be - but people in UK do not seem to see that fact ! The rest of the Western world are now begining to see the truth and are reacting ( France in particular ) but our " system " brands people who speak out about this as " Extreme Right Wing " or " Climate Deniers " Yes the climate is changing as it has done for millions of years and will continue to do so no matter what we do !!!! King Canute springs to mind - its only a few years ago we were being told we are entering a new Ice Age and we were all going to freeze to death !!!! I don`t know what all governments are thinking regarding ( and I am NOT a Conspiracy Theory merchant ) but just cast your minds back to Diesel engines being the best thing since sliced bread ! and Government pushing people to go Diesel - they knew that particulates were a problem but carried on anyway - then years later flipped the other way - Or is it just me ? Anyway rant over, mark my words !
  12. Hi all, another reason is that the " System " has decided that you WILL have an Electric vehicle !!!! If you have an older car, have a minor bump the insurance company decide it is a write off due to 1/ repair costs and 2/ you will no longer be able to obtain parts anyway, and if you can the cost is ludicrous !!!! And don`t forget the " 15 minute cities - 20 MPH speed limit etc., " THEY don`t want cars on the road .
  13. Hi all, its not only the current government ! it is government of all flavours ! Its all to do with " net zero " My car tax has just increased (February) and my car insurance has also increased disproportionately !! The only persons getting new Electric cars are mainly companies and only because of the company tax incentives - The " System " has decided we are going " Carbon Neutral " AND we are going to have to pay for it !!!! China, India and the rest of the world can carry on as usual - but not UK - Oh no we have got to lead the world in this ridiculous race !! What a bunch of numpties. OOooooPs the fun police will be after me 😒
  14. Contact Honda and check ! The AA can carry out a replacement at your work or home if you request it - job takes around 20 mins. Hope that helps.
  15. Hi, its all part of the mad dash to "net zero" road tax has gone up ridiculously - car insurance almost doubled - fuel costs crazy - servicing and repairs are a scandal !!!! a neighbour of mine said recently " I will NOT be getting an electric car " and I replied are you sure ? The system has decided that is the way we are going ! I said if they increase road tax to £1000 and car insurance to £2000 and fuel cost to £30 per litre + you can no longer buy parts to repair ? your car ! what are you going to do ? She replied "get the bus" to which I replied "if you can afford it ! Our system is is crap !!!!
