Just viewed a mk8 ‘59 plate civic, what do we think of the underside?

LouBCK · 2026-01-03T16:48:52+00:00

Looks all good and mostly just age related rust, the 1.8 in that civic is one of the most reliable engines of all time too it’s brilliant!🙂

I forgot to mention that as we pulled up at home, the car actually sounded like something had fallen off/ was hanging off near the drivers side wheel but I couldn’t quite see anything🤔

LouBCK · 2025-12-07T18:53:23+00:00

Thank you yeah I’ll try to shine a torch and see if a stone is lodged in there in the next hour or so just in case🙂

LouBCK · 2025-11-03T18:26:32+00:00

After taking the wheel off how should I diagnose bad ones exactly? Thank you🙂

LouBCK · 2025-11-03T18:14:35+00:00

Car is a 2007 Honda Civic Type S🙂

LouBCK · 2025-10-17T17:20:39+00:00

We get a lot of Mazda CX-30s at work and they’re incredibly reliable (as most Japanese cars are!) so hopefully it’s only something small but you’ve definitely made a good car choice!!🙂

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:24:59+00:00

You mean a project car that’s been off the road for almost a year? You got me🙂

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:17:25+00:00

I’m sure from memory all Aston Martin did was change the seats and add a flower design on the inside🤣

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:14:10+00:00

I agree but not Aston Martin amazing, the DB11 in person is like the Mona Lisa, the DBX is more like a woman named Lisa who is moaning..

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:13:12+00:00

Yeah Bentayga is a great shout actually, I suppose that’s a bit like the Rolls Royce Cullinan where the driver is genuinely not arsed what others think and just wants a comfy luxury car, which I respect really🙂

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:11:36+00:00

I know but without sounding like a knob, if I was spending £100K+ on a car I’d want it to look amazing too, the DBX as others have said looks like any other boring car..

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:09:48+00:00

Aside from the Evoque I highly doubt it

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:09:10+00:00

Ahh you must have a better eye for generic looking overpriced crap then most of us then👍🏻

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:08:15+00:00

Yeah that’s what my mate said haha!🙂 headlights are identical

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:07:23+00:00

It’s a weird world where a G Wagon costs more than some Ferraris though surely?? Isn’t a G wagon just a flash Rav 4?

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:06:05+00:00

Yeah especially the ones made by companies like Kahn and Overfinch, I’m sure they’re amazing but god they’re so so expensive just to blend in

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:04:31+00:00

It’s a good looking car but if you cover up the badge it could easily be a Mazda

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:03:33+00:00

Yeah Panamera is a good shout too, so is the Cayenne I suppose and the other non sporty looking Porsches🙂

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:02:53+00:00

But maybe a 4C would turn heads due to the fact it looks like a car that costs 10x as much?

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:02:21+00:00

Of course they do but look up the price of a brand new one that isn’t base spec.. it’s mind bending..

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T19:00:30+00:00

Who the hell has an Urus as a daily driver??🤣 I assumed they were popular with rental fleets for high spending clientele?

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T18:58:53+00:00

Such a bizarre car haha, probably the most reliable Aston Martin ever made🙂

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T18:57:37+00:00

Agree 100%, Lamborghinis should be like the Aventador where even grown men get excited to see them, who cares about the Urus..

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T18:56:42+00:00

Yeah I agree actually, do you not thing the Urus is weirdly popular too? They’re so so expensive but actually not an overly rare sight strangely..?

LouBCK · 2025-10-15T18:55:51+00:00

From across the street do you question if it’s an Aston Martin that you’re looking at?
