You are an absolute star. I think from watching everything so far (the dismantle and cleaning of the bell housing internals) I might just be able to carry it out here. Just looking at the raft of tools the only thing I am missing is the second set of axle stands and the leccy torque tool...

I didn't read correctly the loss of indicators was/is a classic symptom of flawed mapping, apologies

Just wondering if you have had any issue with potholes in the past six to twelve months and your current local council response to liability when running over them. Have you checked for damage to alloy wheels, replaced tyres or had to inflate/check pressures in a similar timeframe ?

OK, I took the plunge on pay day and bought the kit that claimed to have compatibility with the 22105-PGE-325 version (and two earlier numbers). Since I was also entitled to a 20% discount on the day I got the clutch/plate/bearing for a shade over £100 so ***ume it is identical to the type...

Could it possibly be one or two circuits failing intermittently, whilst I have no experience of the Mk8 have there been instances of damp/corrosion in / around the fusebox/relay areas ?

Internals first or you end up with a front yard ornament.

Only a diesel here, but I had scrape/wear marks on the wiper area of the throttle position sensor (about 4.30 on the image) that meant the car would have a wobble if I left the pedal for too long at a certain position After seven years of using good electricval cleaner on the contacts outside...

Not forgetting the cost of a decent oil change before the service interval on an unknown engine will pay the owner back in spades.

Not thicker oil........

Completely alien dials / dashboard to my 05 estate but similar mileage for the year difference. I've had almost a decade of fun with mine. How much and did you get the service history ?

Thank you. It is quite an eye opener to see the various clutch options from aftermarket suppliers marked with identical Honda reference numbers, though I ***ume the genuine box of parts was somewhat more than £120. The only common links are the diameter - 240mm - and the number of bits in the...

Sounds like an internal alarm at the beginning (doors ?) Can you put the mobile nearer the engine ?

Thank you.

Ah, misread your post earlier. So there is a third variant.

Thank you. I will go back to the supplier and check since they are probably not mechanics. The two part numbers are side by side on the link below https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/304331056022 Is there anyone here that can give pointers on how to tell the difference ? I have asked for additional...

OK Time for a replacement as the last trip out was scary with slip in every gear unless being gentle. Whilst I think £200 is unrealistic are there any garages nearby that can do the deed for under £500 ? I have checked the subframe under the radiators and all good. I will risk not chaging the...

I trust you have done the alcohol rubbing in all places to remove any dirt and oil from any area after replacing things (do you have greasy hands ?) Is there a fluid loss that might end up in the right hand area (engine/gearbox/steering pump/clutch/coolant/brakes/aircon) ? Legacy Estates -...

Then warnings are the best the o/p can hope for before another classic is scrapped.

+1 on the lower ball joint, it may even be the lower nut has started unscrewing (which I found when the split pin had fallen out)

If you do get the noise (and it has only just started), then a full drain of old oil, new filter and fluid should keep you going for a while, with total cost around £70 . From my experience with engine chains, they will give out only after there is a different change of noise from them as the...
