I heard the rear calipers were bad on the EP3 when looking to buy. It was the first thing I had to do to the car after buying one, as they had started to seize. Now I have problems with the front, the passenger side is sticking on now. The car is booked into the garage tomorrow, if it is a...

On Friday afternoon my alarm started having a mind of its own, which was annoying me and my neighbours as I couldn't find anything noticeably wrong with the car. After a quick search on here I seen what it might have been and locked the car with the handle held up. Alarm stopped going off...

Thanks guys, I will get my mate to do that this weekend as I don't trust myself for that type of thing lol. It's costing £0 for the diagnostic, mates rates !

Thanks for the reply, Howie. It wasn't a Honda garage I took the car to for a diagnostics, but a garage I have known for 17 years. The fault was cleared, light went out but came back on when driving home, which is about 8 miles. I spoke to my girlfriend, who used to work at the Honda garage and...

The diagnostic came back with the front Lambda sensor. The boy at Honda said it's probably a small leak in my exhaust somewhere and to ignore it.... I dunno what to say/do !

Oh ok. I'll get it done today

That's the thing, I gave the code to the Honda garage and it was the front sensor. Now it's changed I thought my engine warning light would never come on again :( I'll get a diagnostics again today, see what code comes up now.

Hi guys, on Wednesday I had the front Lambda sensor changed on my 03 plate CTR. The engine light had came on a month earlier and I seen on here that it's common for the lambda sensor to need to be changed. Thing is, this morning, about 2 miles into my journey for work, the light came back on :o...

In my area the average is about £1.38 for Unleaded and £1.44 for Diesel

Cracking job ! And done right too, tyres off ;) Webdog. No, but they prefer the tyres to be off.

Parada's ain't rated, at all.

Awesome deal. I just bought 8 litres.

I've never brought back Red before but Jules has so she's wanting to give it a go. I wasn't really looking for a Honda, I was more inclined to buy a Golf TDi or Audi A4 S-Line but then was offered the Honda from an old friend, at a great price so I couldn't pass it up haha. I have always liked...

Bronze would suit your car I think

The best colour ! Looks nice mate

Thanks Davis. haha, she offered ! I went out and played 18 holes of golf :D

I don't plan on doing much to this car, I have modded my last 2 cars so I kind of want to keep it pretty much standard, as it's a very good example. Some info 03 Plate 6 Owners 81k Miles Standard apart from K&N Induction Kit Wheels are in need of a refurb, the ex owner seemed to like curbs...

Not long back from the garage, only 1 fault this time. It's the lambda sensor. I'm gonna pick one up from Phoenix Honda in Glasgow as my gf still gets her staff discount even though she hasn't worked there for years haha. Thanks again, Chris.

Wow I was't expecting that kind of price ! It'll be a genuine Honda part I go for. No point cutting corners when it came to repairing stuff with my Toyota. Thanks Chris.

Hi, I have only owned my EP3 for 2 weeks now. Last week the ' Check Engine ' light came on for about 10 miles and went back off. I contacted the ex owner about it and his reply back was ' Yeah it happens all the time, but it just goes back off ' :rolleyes: I asked if he had it diagnosed and he...

haha not like you get to road rage... haha ! You not had it to any shows or meets then ? I only just bought it last week, Celica has a new home in Middlesbrough. Was a bit sad to see it go after 4 years of ownership but it was time to go sensible & put money to my house savings. So got myself...

I have found Mintex discs and pads for £47 delivered on eBay. I will try local first and see if my work discount ( upto 40% ) makes it cheaper. Yeah I know rear do very low percentage ( something like 15-25% ? ) so I won't be looking at buying Brembo or anything over the hill for rear...

Well if you're doing 25k miles per year you may want to look at a wee run about and keep the EP3 for fun/weekends

You'd get more MPG with the Clio I'd hope. I'm getting between 30-35mpg with the EP3, only owned it for 1 week though. Is the Clio not good for 40mpg ?

Hello Jenster :D It's the first time I've seen your new car.... Looking MINT ! I'm liking the stealth look. Nice subtle mods to it so far too, goes well.

I bought my EP3 on Friday, my knowledge on Honda's is basically 0 right now. When I bought the car the only small thing I noticed was it needed new rear discs and pads, as only half the disc is getting used ( the inner side ) I have been told that when I replace the discs and pads that I can't...
