Well, of course I will... but in the meantime I need to know whether my car will leak ... it's parked in the open carpark at work.

And whether I should just fix it myself at my cost as the...

My car was recently repaired following hail damage and I noticed after I got home that the rubber room trim (black plastic and rubber) that runs down the side of the roof and sides of the front...

Resurrecting an old thread, my Yoko's C-drive have now done 35-40k and I am wondering what to replace them with next:
1. REO50's
2. Another set of Cdrive
3. The tyre shop is trying to push the...

Paid $300 for dealer-tint at Burswood - they just outsource to Tint-A-Car Osborne Park.

Negotiate!

Sensors are meant to be colour coded to your car. If they are a different colour, you should bring it up with your dealer.

Also drove the CL2 luxury.

18" michelin are a nice improvement from the 17" potenza's and the road noise was much improved on the previous model.

Fabric on the standard Euro is worse than the...

The changes were mostly cosmetic - front grill and rims.

Mechanically, it remains the same and I can't think of significant improvements or additions between the 2006 and 2008 CL9.

Nice review. I was interested to hear how the increased weight vs increased engine power would measure out.

How is the build quality (I think the new Euro is no longer built in Japan), especially...

Sounds nice - definitely looking forward to the launch of the new Euro.

Depending on the RRP ... *thinks*

Well, having run my car on Motul 4100 up to 10000km, then Motul 8100 before switching to Mobil 1 Gold 10-30W (from 20000km till now), my service manager decided to tell me today:

me: "By the way,...

I'm using Mobil 1 Gold and being a 5L bottle, I usually have just under 1L left after an oil change.

Is there any harm in saving 1L at a time and keeping the leftover oil until I have enough for a...

Shuttlebus or pay extra for the hire car.

If you haven't authorised for it to be done, don't pay it.

If they kick up a fuss, say you will take it to consumer affairs (and actually do so). Honda service centres provide a written quote...

Honda dealers, depending on your salesman are more than happy to 'deal and negotiate'. Especially at this time of year.

The only time they won't is if they've earmarked you as an easy target who...

What would people say was better.
Mobil 0-30W (gold-bottle) or the Motul 8100?

I too think 45PSI is overboard. In hot weather, this may be dangerously high.

You'd wear the centre of your tyres down unnecessarily as well as have a detrimental effect on grip, ride and...

You're better off doing things like:
1. Pump your tyres to 35PSI or at least above the recommend pressures of 32 front and 30 rear (for 17")
2. Use Premium Unleaded (BP Ultimate being my...

Insaneam - is that including the transmission fluid change if you have an auto?

That's good oil. You can use it for the 10000km service. I did.

The 'non-synthetic oil till engine run in' argument is quite controversial and has been argued ad nauseum. But at 10k you should be...

Oops... yes I do.

Hmm... hitting the 40000km service soon and nice to hear how the Euro has been doing in the longer haul.

Any recommendations for aftermarket brake pads for an Euro that don't generate as much...

May 2006.
37000km.

Loving it especially when driven in the 'sweet spot' of 3500rpm - 4500rpm.

Only problem is that it's also getting to the stage where maintainance is expensive. Tyres $1200,...

Just ring around your local dealers and ask for a 'quote'. You'll be surprised at the variations in price.

A valve clearance check and major service are not cheap. I'd be expecting $400+

I'm still inclined to think it is the tinting and that they may have bent your seals (window or door or otherwise) during installation.

In any event, let us know what your dealer thinks under...

Going good with my C-Drives at the moment, having driven them 5000km (Had my REO40's 17" replaced at 33000km).

Happy to recommend them. They grip almost as well as the Potenza's in the dry but...
