Hi Everyone, My car is now on 114k and having a look through the receipts and stuff last night just going over things that need doing in the upcoming months. I noticed that the Tensioner/Pulley receipts are there but cant seem to see anything about a new timing chain ? How would i go...

Update on this, It seems when last oil change was performed it dripped onto some underseal, therefore the burning smell, the underseal is getting cleaned and removed next few days and re-applied. Hoping this removes my anxiety of it being somthing major.

Cheers Flashy, Ill get back to you guys once i have done all the above, Fingers crossed that sorts it, its just more of an annoyance of the smell when im near the bonnet more than anything.

That I haven’t done , Any idea how to do that ? Yeah Jimbo seen them on H-Tune for around £50

There seems to be numerous people who think its either one or the other, but i the best option for me is to replace the clutch and the input shaft bearing at he same time ?

Im thinking it possibly could be, when i bought it the garage said they have had changed the clutch, they have been inside the clutch box for sure you can see the markings. But after only a couple month of this "New" clutch, the release bearing is ticking away when i release the pedal and...

Morning Guys, I would say for the past couple of month now, i get this burning smell when i get out the car, its coming from underneath the bonnet, I dont even need to VTEC it for this to happen, but the car still pulls as it should no issues. I know i have a current issue with the clutch...

Hey Lewis, any idea where i can genuine honda one cheap rate? Ive seen a few Exedy ones on Ebay, floating around £130 mark.

Don't think so mate, Drove home from work yesterday, VTEC'ed it a few times, Takes around 30 mins to get home. No braking difficulties on excessively hot wheels. My area sadly does seem to have a lot of Pot holes , is their a possibility the vibrations can be tapping them out?

Hi, Has anyone had any centre caps come off? The past 2 month i have had 2 caps come off the same alloy. I am starting to think that could be possibly someone removing them from the car, but i'm not seeing any signs of any scratches etc. I'm making a note to check the car now every time i...

Very Nice, Some really nice shots in that video. I feel that i would have liked to seen the car a bit more in the video. I did enjoy the distance shots of the Car but majority of the shots of the car were in the dark but if that was the effect the video was aiming for after Chapter 1 in the...

I paid 5k for my facelift ep3 05 plate. Had 110k miles on the clock but came with aload of paper work and it was what it said it was, fantastic condition. Even though it had a few owners its been well looked after.

I will try this, Is their a fuse or something that i can remove? If not i am going to have to disconnect the battery everytime, therefore this leave me with with maunal locking and connecting/disconnecting everytime i use it (my boot boot lock with just the key, I dont know why). Thanks for...

Good Morning Guys, So after an eventful morning of getting out of bed at 3am to have my neighbor knocking at my door, Opening the door to find a really angry man complaining about my car alarm and threatening to go the council (I can understand his frustration, But how do you think i feel...
