Think I'm going to stick OEM with the REO50's thanks for all you're input folks

I was thinking this but wread a few stories sayin the potenzas aren't great in the wet and being in Scotland need something good in the rain lol

Do you know what size it would be to go for? Would it make a difference to speedo or anything with them not being 205?

See the Goodyear eagle f1 do they come in the standard size for an ep3. I have read that thread about 5 times and simply cannot decide I definitely need so etching good in the wet up here I Scotland. Thanks ***

I meant Goodyear eagle f1s sorry

I'm needing two new tyres on my car the two I have that came with the car are different makes and I'm going to replace all 4 eventually to the same. I have read so many reviews and I'm torn between falken f1s and Michelin pilot sport 3 or toto price 3s. I'm aware the tyres are important and...

Thanks for all the help I eventually found the code hidden away on ok service records. Ordered my double din facia from car audio security hopefully it fits first time as I've heard a few horror stories :s

As above my car is a premier ep3. Is it a standard code because I can't find it in the owners manual

I just purchased the pioneer app radio 2, and I'm having some difficulty with fitting it. If I want a nice flush finish with no gaps am I going to have to buy a facia kit. My eyes are sore from reading the yes's and no's just wondering if pioneer is a bit harder than others to fit. Any help...

That's a ******* mate eh. You'd think with the price of these things it would be pretty simple :/ feel kind of robbed by pioneer

Hi mate I have the same unit as yourself. Did you get it fitted ok in the en? Did you have to buy a new cage or that for it? Cheers

I cant see the guide :(

yeah ive had a look at a few didnt manage to find one about brands but read up on the grades still dont really understand *** but going by what yous guys know and recommend thats why im going for the 5w 40 and was thinking fuchs as i can remembering reading something good about it on here, this...

cheers all help much appreciated, is there a stand out oil brand or just castrol or something like that?

cheers is it a good idea to giv the engine a flush before adding the new oil?

im pretty sure it was filled with 10w 40 wen i bought the car so thought it would be better to stick to that just now. then get it totally swapped when i am back. do yous agree that would be best or could i just stick 5w 40 in? what would be the best brand to go for when full topping up again...

hey, do yous think it would be ok to top my engine oil up with some halfords stuff just for one trip to and from a ferry terminal about a 200mile round trip. then get it totally changed to 5w 40 once im back??

thanks for the help

hi, im needing to add some oil to my premier ep3 but i dont know what oil is in the car. would i be better draining the oil and fully replacing the oil? my car has 79000 miles, also what grade of help should i use i was told 10 40 is the recommended is this rite? any input would be appreciate thanks

whats the place called your brother used?

i am based in edinburgh. yeah the honda guys took it out with something attached to the gearbox so they could listen to it? and thats what he came back with said he thought it was the bearings. where can i send the box to have it looked at? thanks

Hi, there is a grinding noise coming from my car when slowing down in gear I took it to hands and they did its the gearbox bearing and will cost about £690 to repair. So I think I'm going to feta new gearbox fitted instead for hopefully around the same price. But not sure wether to get a recon...

do yous think it would be ok to continue driving my car whilst the gearbox bearing is kind of grinding or will it do irevrsible damage? iv had a quote from honda of £770 to strip and repair the box or £500 for a box and then £200 fitted. any input would be appreciated. the grinding isnt really...

It's a 55reg premier edition ctr. What's an LSD? It's just I thought I read somewhere they had 1, but as I said I'm not to clued up on this stuff, I'm getting their ***. Thanks for the help so going to go ahead and get a new clutch put in at the same time.

Thanks I don't think the clutch has been replaced in the past, well thers no receipt of it gettin done. The car has 74k on the clock now, what about the limited slip differential does this ever need replaced?

hi, im getting the bearings in my gearbox replaced, im just wondering if it would be worth while replacing my clutch at the same time? also would a Honda clutch be a good replacement or would it be better to upgrade.

thanks for that mate, appreciate it. if you where in my shoes would the car having 90000 miles put u off thats the only thing that is kind of getting to me. also do you think the problems in the buyers guide you sent the link for are still relevant to look out for?

hi im currently in the process of trying to buy an ep3, i have saw one, its a knighthawkblack premier edition and it has 90,000miles on the clock, the guy im buying it from has just moved to australia and has left the car with his uncle for me to view. we have already agreed a price of 4.5k is...

hi jus wondering if anyone is selling a civic in nighthawk black, looking for the premier edition or know of anyone selling 1

this post is great. i have just viewed a ctr 55reg premier edition, are the common faults for the ep3 the same for the premier, or is there other different faults for the premier edition? the car i viewed is going for £6995 but i think i could get it down a bit, the only thing is i could see...
