    6th Gen Headlight Restoration

    Hi Guys, Long time since I have posted. I threw this up on youtube as part of my new motoring review channel. It is a headlight restoration I did with the 3M Restoration Kit. Hopefully it is helpful to some people. I will be throwing up a full review of my 2001 6th gen in the next few weeks odd...

    3 litres of oil gone in 1.5 miles!

    Hi Adam, I looked over the invoices that Honda gave me for the work that I mentioned above. It was not the crank seal but the balancer shaft seal like yourself. The chap in the Honda garage said to me that apparently it happens quite a lot but would not give me a reason. Probably covering his...

    3 litres of oil gone in 1.5 miles!

    It is the cam seal. The same thing happened to me. Was driving the car. parked it. left it for 5 mins and started it up again next thing 3 liters of oil on the ground. it is because the oil pump dumped everything out. I had to get Honda to do the job as it was a big one. The seal had to be...

    EGR Plate cleaning

    Hi Simon, It is fairly ok to remove some of the cabling. As for fuel under pressure, while there is pressure in the system it is very low compared to today's cars with direct injection or diesels which are extremely high pressure. when you remove the rail some fuel will come out as the system...

I believe the only 5 stud is the Type-R. found that out the hard way when I went to get the Type-R wheels and could not. Although Honda did a 4 stud that looked similar, that came on some Type-V's i...

    Coolant type and Water

    Over here in Ireland the Honda one was actually cheaper then the stuff from Halfords. Strange turn of events I know but always go with Honda if you can. If I am not mistaken the only fluid you MUST replace with Honda fluid is the power steering one as it is not ATF like most manufactures use. Am...

    Help and Thanks

    Just read your very first post. I did not realize it was an auto. To be honest if the hill is steep the car will not hold its self. The torque converter in the box can only do so much to move the car forward. In saying this it should not take too much throttle to keep the car held. I would say...

    Help and Thanks

    When you roll back. does the engine keep running or cut out? if it keeps running it is time for a new clutch I am sorry to say. As far as the car ticking over at 500, and not to seem condescending as I have come across this before a lot and all it was was someone reading the RPM gauge...
