    Gearbox mount replacement diy

    Anyone know if this is a diy? Its the lower rear mount on the gearbox and possibly the side one as well that are down as 'defective' on the latest mot. Ive ordered the rear mount for the gearbox and wonder if its easy enough to do. Im going to be doing drop links as well and know what to expect...

    Coolant level and capacity

    Weird. After the mot the noise dissapeared. Could have been a leaf. Im hoping it was a leaf after the mot result. Mechanic never found any leaks and reckons there might have been some coolant drained during clutch change and not topped back up properly. Im not sure if i checked it back then so...

    Coolant level and capacity

    Thanks guys. I just came home after a 6 mile drive and noticed its about an inch below the min line. I will top up in the morning before the mot to halfway between max and min line while its cold and see how it fairs on the level before and after driving for a while. Might ask the mot guy to...

    Clutch and Flywheel going?

    Quick update. Thats the clutch in. My usual mechanic was not available this week so i approached another reputable garage who quoted £250 for the job. Told me it would be a full day job but they didnt realise the extent of it and called me back later in the day saying they need to keep it...

    Clutch and Flywheel going?

    Definately. Especially being on the ramp for 6 odd hrs best to let the car warm up first. Il be driving gentle for a week or two and then take for a 'test' drive

    Clutch and Flywheel going?

    Thats some good mileage on the original clutch. I was trashing mine constantly so its my fault really but its at 91k so its had a good run. It just cant be helped with the vtec. Funny thing is car still drives fine but i just cant thrash it anymore. Its probably a blessing as im driving normal...

    Diskbrakes

    Ive never had such issues either. I generally use Mintex discs and pads. I dont do the 500miles tho. Just 200 miles of no harsh breaking. But first after installing il do something similar to the guide here http://m.autoanything.com/brakes/how-to-bed-in-brake-pads Last time i did it, it was up...

    Clutch and Flywheel going?

    Yep, they confirmed its their site. I did mention im a TA forum member but price was still same. A good price anyway. Maybe they give free delivery to TA members? I got the parcel this afternoon and ordered around 5pm on wednesday so not bad service. Now just need to get the clutch fitted

    Clutch and Flywheel going?

    Thanks Salim. Hopefully its not already warped and the mechanic can easily grind it even/reface it. Just to add, i thought about purchasing the flywheel from HH and then returning it if not needed but HH confirmed they wont take a return, its also priced at £378 from them. Im also not sure of...

    Clutch and Flywheel going?

    Thanks Fahad, I will make him aware. Its an independent garage that i'm going to use, the mechanic knows his stuff and has been in the game a long time. He hasn't done one of these himself before so he checked on some computer system they have and said the job will take 7-9 hours. HH Honda have...
