"Valve saver kit" ;-) It could be flashlube, but it might be another system. I would highly recommend the Electronic Flashlube system, it's a bit more expensive, but way better than other systems.

If you will stick with another F18B2, it's just plug and "pray" ;) Maybe it's a good idea to replace the timing belt while the engine is not installed.

I would say they are the wrong part, but not sure...

This is what I bought from Lings: Part Number: 087989002 Part Description: GAEASE,UREA

Mine also squeaks from the slave cylinder area, mainly on damp/wet days. I have already lubed the link between the slave cylinder and the clutch release fork with no luck. I guess that I might need to disassemble the slave cylinder and lubricate it inside with brake grease. As for the urea...

I think that the first one is the one that is used to manage the engine. My car, the same as yours, only has the front one, so that should be the one to replace. Word of advice, don't go for generic sensors, go for Honda or NGK/NTK and stay away from Bosch. I bought a NGK/NTK a few years ago...

The ones with an auto AC have a digital clock, it's on the AC control unit...

A while ago I was contacted by a guy in other forum due to irregular idle speed and some rough running under 2000rpm. After much fiddling around, he took it to a friend which was a Honda mechanic, they started to dissemble the engine, and they got to the conclusion that the camshaft was...

I guess that power loss with the AC on is normal in the 1.8. Mine does the same...

Just replace the rocker cover gasket and you are done. It's quite easy and cheap to repair!

It looked the same as the one in the car, at least from the outside ;)

I replaced mine a couple of years ago, also Blueprint, and had not problems at all, just a direct replacement. Mine is a 1.8, year 2000. BTW, if you seach in the forum, you will find a detailed description on howto replace it. Mine is a LHD, but it could help!

The brake servo is driven by vacuum. It could have a minor internal leak which doesn't affect's the braking performance, but messes up the idle speed. Remove the hose that goes from the intake manifold to the brake servo and tap it with something, just to see if it makes any difference.

You might have a vacuum leak somewhere, that could cause idle problems...

This morning I took of the brake pads, and I confirm they have about 13mm. I removed the pad retainers and bent them a bit, so they would make more force on the pads. I tested it for a bit, and I guess it got a bit better, but have to test for more time in order to get to a conclusion. I also...

Just take a look at the temperature gauge, if way too high, just park the car and stop the engine...

It's not that hard to replace it if you feel confident with the tools! IIRC, you just need to undo 3 bolts. I guess i wrote an howto somewhere: http://typeaccord.co.uk/forum/topic/9796-howto-thermostat-replacing/ I bought mine from Honda, I guess it was about 30/40€. If it's the thermostat...

I also bet on the thermostat. A couple of years ago I hat to replace mine, which had the exact same symptoms! Don't drive the car until you replace it, otherwise you might need to replace the head gasket...

I have just called another Honda dealer, they asked me about 120€, about 96gbp. It's a bit cheaper, but still way too expensive...

It's not something that you do with a single finger, but it's not that hard.
