    Thread revival. I've got a longer commute to work this winter, so I'm thinking of buying some steelies and winter tyres. Is there updates to this thread and what tyre is best?

    The "what have you done to your DC5 this weekend" thread

    My DC5 is going in to the dealers for its service and MOT on Tuesday, and is also getting new discs and pads. On Wednesday, it's going back into the body shop to get the rear bumper sorted as the fit and finish was dreadful and in all honesty, it was a sub-standard repair. This is how bad it...

    Any DC5 owners in Carlisle?

    A massive thank you to jpstyper who kindly donated his DC5 for comparison to mine. As soon as the cars were compared, it was obvious that mine wasn't right and the bodyshop agreed to book mine back in for adjustment. Thanks mate. Much appreciated. :xcheers:

    Front calipers

    Yeah it is my daily drive, so the car being off-the-road with no calipers isn't an option. So crappy looking pink calipers is in my future. :(

    Front calipers

    Oh dear, didn't think they'd be *that* expensive. Oh well, that's that idea knocked on the head. :(

    Front calipers

    I've researched the refurb route before and I can't do it due to my disability, (I can't even change a wheel myself...too much bending down), and visiting TGM is out as it's a 12 hour round trip, as I live in south scotland. My dealer has quoted me £296 for discs and pads fitted, which is not...

    Front calipers

    My DC5 is needing new front discs and pads shortly and as my front Brembo calipers are looking very secondhand, I want to replace them with new calipers. Does anyone have a guide to price and availibility from a Honda dealer. TIA

    The difference of tyre dressing..

    Despite trying other brands of tyre-dressing, I always come back to Autoglym. I feel it's easier to apply and a quick wipe with a terry towel gives a nice even application and dries it off quickly.

    Today's MOT experience

    So I had the DC5 MOT'd and it passed as usual, with flying colours. \0/ I normally get it MOT'd when it's serviced, (at full price), but this time was seduced by a national chain's half-price MOT offer. I also managed to sucessfully side-step their insistence on up-selling, 'shall we service...

    Rear bumper availability

    How readily available is a pre-fl rear bumper? I've pointed the bodyshop in the direction of Dave J @ Steels but they seem to be having trouble sourcing that and associated parts. I think JDM may be out of their comfort zone.
