After the sad passing of Paul, My 1.4 9th Gen at the hands of an Armco barrier and lots of understeer, I determined that the only way was up (And so did the insurance prices )
Presenting my slight upgrade; Clifford the big red car.
OSRAM premium retrofit bulbs, except the indicators, which are from classicarleds, as they have LEDs with inbuilt resistors to prevent hyper flashing.
Bulb sizes are as per the manual.
I have tested osram and classiccarleds T10 Amber sidemarkers, but neither have been better than the halogens in terms of colour / general look. I've got a full led unit inbound!
This video shows all the bulbs fitted; driver / right side is LED, left side is halogens.
The only one which makes a poor showing in the video is the brake light - in reality it is far brighter than the halogen, and comes on instantly which is more important! Tapatalk Cloud - Downlaoad File VID-20200117-WA0022.mp4
I have been keeping that in mind, fortunately with the weather at the moment and lessons learned from the previous incident there hasn't been much opportunity to go pedal to the metal.
That said, I have taken a few opportunities to ensure the full rev range is used - don't want to break in a wimp!
I had a test drive in a 10G one, but only after I had ordered my Prestige. They wouldn't let me have a go before then. Bonus prise for shelling out on a new car I guess.
Anyone had experience of using the light deflectors for driving in France? I’m off soon and can’t see anything in the manual that tells me. I can obviously pick up a set from Halfords but I read not every car needs them as there is a way to adjust?
Looking to get my car serviced next month, it will be the 2nd year of service (2018) model.
Before I start calling up every Honda garage, do prices still vary between Honda dealers?
What's the best way to go about getting the cheapest price for a service? Generic email and fire out to every...
Bluespark now have a dyno installed so I went on a long drive so they could develop one for my 1.5 turbo sport and it was well worth it, as stock it was producing a lot more than quoted, they recommend using premium higher octane fuel, they said it was a very good engine and had lots of tuning...
There seems to be confusion even on Hondas side about how often to service the 1.6 diesel. I bought my 2019 Auto with 5k miles on it, and the service book had its PDI stamp, with the note that variable servicing wasn't active on the car and to follow the servicing schedule shown on the page...
Had a weird experience last week. Was in a queue of traffic when the car Infront pulled away as I accelerated the car done an emergency stop and the brakes locked. Surprised I wasn't rear ended. Anyone else had this happen?
