Hi, I think I need to bleed the clutch fluid in my Honda Civic ishift afeter servicing the actuator. Problem is I don't know which tool to use to do that and garages in my area (France) are less than helpful in the matter. I found Honda HDS HIM on this site, but will any other universal diag tool like "Delphi" work as well? Or, crazy idea: do you think I can bleed it by hand by simply pumping the clutch?

Hi folks, stumbled across here as we just bought a 2007 civic hatch. My brother previously had a 2.2d manual that went on and on but our one after 2 weeks the car is dead with the dreaded actuator issues. So will probably ask 101 questions as I am struggling to find a garage who would repair this. Found a place in Hounslow who is asking for £400 plus, however as the car is not starting at all I am trying to fix it myself. Any tips or pointers would be great guys. thanks ..read more

hi, i've just purchased 2nd hand 2016 9th gen civic 1.6 idtec. I've had it just over two weeks and just today the emissions light came on. I took it for a 40 min drive with some good speed in places in 5th gear to help regen. I've been mostly driving it to and from work 24 mile return trip. I turned the car off for 10 minutes and back on (button start) but light warning still on. I think during the drive I could smell fumes at one stage in the cabin. I've just come from having engine issues... OBD2 diagnostic recommendation ..read more

Hi all, So over the last few days as the temps have dropped back to 4deg and below here in Switzerland, I have started to get the EPS Check Error on the dash. One or two stop/starts of the engine and it goes away as with most people. There are several threads on this already that I have found but none have really clarified if you need HDS or a trip to the dealer to replace the EPS Module. My car is a 2006 (I cant seem to find the build month but it was registered here in Switzerland in... EPS Check Warning ..read more

Hi everyone, I've gotten a new battery recently. Then today I got my inspection done and it passed with no issues with the battery. However on the way home the battery light came on which worried me as the reason I got the new battery was because the old one died. How is the light coming on again after only 3 week new battery. Thoughts ideas or suggestions would be much appreciated. TIA guys ..read more

I bought a couple of the old ginger rear lights clusters to replace my clear ones as part of my dechroming. They have they usual green grime around the edges but they've also got dried murky condensation on the inside of the lens. It's out of reach going through the bulb holes and doesn't look accessible through any vent holes. Any one taken one of these apart before? Will they do as headlights and soften in the oven? But they sort of look ultrasonicly welded. Other option is to swoosh a... Dried murkiness on rear lights ..read more

I love the FN2 seats so much, I've picked up a pair of front seats I plan to fit into my VW Caddy van, which took a bit of cutting and welding etc. Does anyone have a wiring diagram though, so that I can hopefully identify and the wire up the air bag and seat belt indicator wires into the corresponding wires in the Caddy ..read more
