    Hi, The battery is seemingly dead on my 2010 Civic type S, that I just bought. Is it safe to jump start it? I've ben reading that jumping vehicles post 2000 can damage the electronics? Thanks

    Hi all, My 8th gen 2006 1.8 petrol 4 door struggles to start after 3+ days sitting idle. If I charge the battery and reconnect it starts first time. For the last month or so, I've started disconnecting the battery after every drive and reconnecting as needed. When I do this it starts first...

    Hey everyone Last month the battery light turned on at a red light, when accelerating it would go away. That night the battery light turned on and the car struggled to stay on when driving. The radio will turn off and the lights would flicker and/or dim until it completely turned off and the car...

    Hey folks. I've searched this forum and elsewhere online about this error to no avail. Any reference to check system seems to be related to oil or brakes whereas my issue is the Battery. This message pops up intermittently, and whenever it does it only stays on for between 1 and 5 seconds, then...

    Car has been starting and driving just fine until this morning. After driving a few miles and stopping at a local park to walk the dog, the car wouldn't start, just the clicking sound. Got a jump start and managed to get the car home. How do I know if the problem is the battery, the alternator...

    Hi, Cranking got worse and worse until it stopped starting the engine. What is wierd it eventually stopped after I completed about 200miles journey, which would suggest the alternator? Someone jump-started me when it died, which would suggest the battery/alternator? It was working fine ever...

    Hi.... I have a MK9 Civic 1.6 i-dtec sport (66). I have looked at replacing the battery due to engine stop/start warning. I have looked at the direct replacement at Cox for £94. I could get an AGM battery from Tanya for roughly the same price (if not cheaper) Are there advantages to getting...

    Hey, I'm about to buy and fit a new battery as the current one seems a bit weak. It's only 33ah with 270cca. I read that many people have issues with the electrical system (windows, alarm) after a battery replacement. I'm thinking if I could attach two weires to the terminals of the old battery...

    Hi all. I have a 2015 1.8 i-Vtec Sport and the exterior is fully modified and looking great. My question is...has anyone painted any parts in their engine bay? (Rocker cover, fuse box cover, heat shield, etc.). Or bought any pre-painted covers. Would be good to see what you've all done...

    Hi all - my 2013 1.6TDI Civic has been struggling with the battery recently - the "Auto Stop not available" sometimes comes up. I do not use the car much and after leaving doors open and radio on for a couple of hours while cleaning the car, it went flat. I jump started the car and I drove it...

    Hi all, I checked on Civinfo's wiki on flat battery to troubleshoot battery drain. The wiki said that the normal drainage is 0.02a after initial connection. When I first test my car battery for amp (parasitic current), it was 0.55a at the start but after few secs, it came down to 0.05a. I...

    Hi all, My car in question is: Honda (2011) i-vtec Si (semi-automatic). I tested my car's battery with engine off, it draws 9volt which may be why I have trouble starting the car of late. I checked that battery but it is completely unbranded (except that one side saying "FB"). There is no...
