    This is a weird one. I'll try and explain as best as I can. To wind the window up and down works normally. The one touch bit keeps failing though. I know to re-sync it you need to hold it up for 5 seconds and down for 5 seconds. Now when I do this it does work and the one touch works fine. Then...

    LMAO.............. I'm comparing the EP3 here but don't think costs between the EP3 and FN2 will be much different. I get 28 up to 36MPG depending on roads and driving style.

    So this weekend I decided to give the Honda a proper clean and polish. The main problem on my car is the dreaded milano fade. Bought all the bits I needed. With it being my first time I didn't want to use anything to abrasive and probably ended up playing it to safe. You'll see what I mean when...
