mines will be 8 in Jan. Still going strong..yipeee

Dan sincere apologies. I didn't know we had a smart alternator? I must have been lucky/unlucky as everytime I've measured with engine on it's been 14 odd V... Cool B)

looking very clean Mike, any plans for it?

lol Dan what y'on about? The o/p of your alternator sould be around 14V (14.4V to be exact in a perfect world) at all times. I suspect your meter leads weren't making good electrical contact with the battery terminals or your have a loose connection somewhere. 12.5V+ is norm when engine isn't...

depending on your mileage, you could always try adjusting your CC switch on your clutch pedal. It worked for me and I had bad slip at one point. If you want and it's free to do, do a search on it on here....B)

*cough* you mean under air filter box...

lol, also how could he tell if it's ok? Has he got access to Infrared Spectroscopy in the back room of the garage or summit.don't think so.... hope he's got the proper Honda tool to align the clutch....:unsure:

wow looking really smart pal, bet your really happy with it....B)

Tanna as long as the oil meets Honda specs, then no worries. As Fahad has said and I agree, as long as you treat the engine the engine will look after you. Thin is ok, 0W30 is thin and you'll get good mpg.

like Andy says you need to remove the bumper first - easier than it seems then it's well exposed. You'll then have east access to if to remove any debris from the fins

personally I'd safe the money and just hide your keys...

Marcus, I tried this on my Karacher and it didn't work. The reason it does not work is the foam lance draws in air to mix with the super concentrated foam to produce a thick snow foam...Tried and failed ended up buying a lance, and it's fantastic. You won't be dissapointed...

Hey, if you want to send me it, I could have a look for you. Obviously can't promise anything, but I'm an electronics engineer. You'd only need to pay for postage both ways.... PM me if you want...

Andy, if you're sure it's the unit and it's flickering, might just be a dry joint. Know any electronics bods? Might be worth a look...,.

yeah, in theory you could get this data via OBD, but it would be digital data, so you'd need an electronics interface in between to then convert into a ****ogue signal for the dials.

The Battery voltage one would be easy, just in parallell with the cigarette lighter or any other switched 12V The others not sure. I guess take a feed of the oil pressue switch or actually where it comes into the cabin as opposed the actual swtich. The oil temp again not sure but the same...

Si, looks like Oil Temp,Battery/Alternator voltage and oil pressure in that order.

Sounds like you or rather your car had a lucky escape. Can't help you with the carpet mystery though, I've got admit I'm the same re dealers/mechanics - I'd rather do the job myself so I know it's done to my linking rather than a 'that'll do attitude'

I bet you could! go on share, they're not around anyway....:D

muppets probably used 10W40...wouldn't trust any dealer inc Honda unless it's got a well established rep, like HH
