Advice from Civinfo forum from someone's unforunate experience:-
"Just thought i would post a story of the fiasco i've had this morning...
To cut a long story short I was a div and left my lights on last night. Tried to jump start to car this morning, and the immobiliser light came on and stayed on - so although the car turned over, it wouldnt start.
Cue the AA, towage to my local Honda dealer, and following a short conversation with the Mr Man at Honda, i became aware of a serious fault.
If you connect the jump leads to the battery with the key in the ignition, the immobiliser scrambles and shuts down, meaning that Mr Honda needs to plug his computer into the car to get it started again. Therefore the moral of the story is:
***Make sure your keys ARE NOT in the ignition before you connect your jump leads to the battery!!!!***"
Apparently Honda are aware of this, but have failed to inform anyone about it. Nice one!!!... Read more

On the early petrol FWD cars the Bosch rear calliper has a handbrake which operates by pushing the pads using a pivot buried in the caliper. Does anyone know if the pivot is metal to metal (in which case I can put on a drop of engine oil) or is there a hidden plastic bush that would be damaged by oil? Also, the handbrake cable at the calliper has its end protected by a rubber shield. Would "rubber grease" be a suitable lubricant for this cable?
Any help much appreciated. Read more

As youv'e seen from this post :-
Some clarification much appreciated,
The other half is selling her old motor, a tatty 206 that's been off road and out of use for about the past 6 months or so. Having been parked up it is of course on SORN and has no current MOT. It's now sat on the drive, awaiting somebody to hand over a couple of hundred beans and find a use for it. Obviously we'll advertise it as not legally roadworthy, but I'm curious as to our legal position if a buyer should decide to drive it away anyway. I would presume that once the V5 is signed we waive responsibility for the car and all who sail in her, and a new owner chosing to drive it illegally on the roadway does so entirely at their own risk? Or is there now some law burdening the seller with some form of responsibility for the actions of the buyer?! Read more
