Give it another 2-3 years and I wouldn't be surprised to see the electric push get dialled way back down.

Originally posted by CMcK View PostThe people behind the diesel scandal are gone and the peeps there now are making an effort to improve things. The ID3 is apparently carbon neutral through to delivery to the end user. Of course there is still hydrocarbons used in car production for plastics and tyres but it’s not being burnt causing pollution directly like fuel.

My exhaust fell off yesterday and I had the indignity of driving a car that sounded like an ailing Spitfire through rush hour traffic. Tbh, it's starting to really show it's age in a number of ways
It's been a lovely car but I feel like my Type R is getting dangerously close to that great Asda carpark in the sky.

I asked the garage who usually service and MOT it and they said I'd slightly missed the boat on treating it as you can seal the corrosion in. I'm all for keeping it going though so I may still pursue it. The worry for me is if my Civic goes I have a feeling whatever I get to replace it won't have 200bhp. I've tried going sensible before and it didn't take

You clean it up first with wirewheels and powerfiles, then use a rust treatment like hydrate 80, then a top coat of two pack epoxy, or some primer and a plastic coating like one of the dinitrols. You can also put cavity wax into various places.
