Hello from France on Prelude 3° gen the AC compressor is dead :-( We are in France and remanufacturing AC compressor is not usual not as in Us or Canada... Is it safe and reliable to look toward a remanufactured one? Some people in France says it is not a longlife plan...

The breaks pulsate on my 96' Accord. Should I have them resurfaced or replaced since I'm sure they have been resurfaced a few times in their history? The Honda dealer wants $249 to replace them. Should I look into having a local mechanic do the job and maybe save a few bucks? Thanks.

My friend does not know jack about cars and I bought a brand new battery for my car. I went into the house to use the bathroom and he tried to put the battery in the car by himself. He connected the positive to the negative and negative to the positive. He said when he did it, there were sparks....

Group, The handle for the hood latch on my Civic came off in my hand. The main plastic hande broke off and left some of the plastic back on the release cable end. I have to use plyers to open it but I think this would turn a potential buyer off when I sell. How do I change the handle? ...

My girlfriend's '94 del Sol needs new seals on its power steering unit. It doesn't look like that big of a sweat to do it myself. (The local garages and dealers all want ~$500.) Question: Does taking the pump apart and replacing the gaskets and seals involve special tools? Or is this a fairly...

Today I took my 2000 Accord through one of those automated car washes that use hanging cloth straps. Unfortunately one of those straps wrapped around the driver's side mirror and gave it a yank. The mirror and the housing around it are now slightly crooked, as if perhaps the hinge is broken or...

... somewhat of my own making :( I was poking around (actually quite carefully) with a voltmeter to find a 12v supply near the radio to get me power to my iPaq and I somehow managed to blow the #8 7.5a fuse for the radio. Anyway, that should be fine ... except ... when I replace it with the 7.5A...

A friend asked me for my opinion on these two vehicles. His wife likes the seats in the Caravan better and they can get a "real deal" from the dealer. I stopped by a DC booth at a local festival and this dealer sold both DC and Honda. The rep I talked to turned out to sell DC and said the...

Has anyone had to do this recently? Anything I should know? Thanks Al G

I have had this car in to the dealer probably 6 times over the last few years. The problem is that it is intermittent and it never seems to happen when it is at the Mechanic. But they don't have to drive it and get stuck. I wish at least that they might suggest what it Could be. I will turn the...

Can anyone offer an opinion on Honda Roof Racks? I am considering the purchase of a canoe which I intend to carry on my 98 Accord. The racks from Yakima and Thule are pretty expensive($400+), so I thought about finding a used set from Honda. The factory always knows better right? The total...
